any ideas? thanks

Hey manos,
there is something funky with that firmware/esp flasher tool I was getting the same error.
the only way I could flash was with the tasmota web flash tool via google chrome browser https://tasmota.github.io/install/
Flash with http://ota.tasmota.com/tasmota32/release/tasmota32.bin first, then connect to the device with your phone by changing your wifi settings phone to TASMOTA... network that will pop up after a few seconds.It disappears again in about60 secs so be quick. connect to the wifi (ie SSId Tasmota...) then after a little while you phone will open an unsecured webpage (your now inside the tasmota device) , just select your usual wifi SSiDand password that you want to use with the device and save.
Use Tasmotrol app on your phone to search for the device/change configuration as well.
After the initial flash, it seems to work on the Tasmota Eps Flasher tool.
Once your connected to the device and can get into the configuration, "Update Hrdware"to Kc868-A8 Bin, then configure template and configure the "other" (PCF8574)
I had a hard time getting it to connect and show the PCF8574 expander for the outputs , then all of a sudden it worked after 3 days... Good luck!

I should also add, download the firmware to your computer then use that download rather than posting the link to the repository.

Hello, I tried to do it this way, it loads but when it comes back up a SAFEBOOT message appears and limits the menu options
