OTA Updating to 0.10 fails during upload

[fribse]

Hi Aircookie

I can't wait to get the 0.10 update on the lights, especially the detail with the multi-candle was great news for my small projects (#541) :-)
I also saw that you included the info page for future updates, which is highly appreciated here (#750)!
I have a mix of D1 mini's and ESP32's in D1 mini format mounted on diguno boards around the house.
So far, no matter if I try to flash from the laptop on wireless, or from the computer on cable, I fail to update the esp's. That is both esp8266 and esp32's. They are all running 0.91 at the moment.
I've used your hint with /json/info to make sure if it's a 8266 or 32, so that is not the issue here.
I've tried both from Firefox and Chrome (on win10).
Chrome gives me:

This page isn’t working
10.11.13.115 didn’t send any data.
ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Firefox gives me:

The connection was reset

I'm not sure what is going on behind the scenes.
When they fail, and I press F5, half the times I see 'update completed successfully wait for reboot' the other half 'update failed'. No matter what it shows 0.91 after the process.

I've found a procedure that works, but it's quite cumbersome.

1. Note down as much as I can from the config (loosing the presets)
2. Reset the wled to factory defaults.
3. Connect to WLED-AP
4. Update wled while in defaults
5. Set the right SSID (seperate VLAN)
6. Set all the config up again

Hi, I'm sorry that you ran into issues while updating... Did you check whether the WLED-AP is active when you could no longer connect to the IP? Do you know the exact binaries you used for 0.10.0 and 0.9.1 respectively? If I understood you correctly, your boards went back online after the failed update, just still running version 0.9.1... It might also be that the upload is interrupted due to poor reception - you could try uploading closer to the router (or check if changing the VLAN of your uploading device works, albeit i doubt it)

The AP wasn't active.
The versions was the regular for pin16 (diguno).
Yes, they went back online, but gave different messages on success or failure.
I doubt it's a reception problem, because it worked fine after the factory reset.
I also tried moving them to another VLAN (the main one), but no change.

I also tried 'updating' from one 0.10 to 0.10, but it fails. I guess I could just swap it to a esp32, but it seems overkill for 59 leds on this one :-)

MIne kept failing too. I put it close to the wifi access point and still had the issue. Always 500 error. Tried different browsers, and a different computer.

I ended up flashing with a USB cable, and re-doing my settings.

I too had a failure when doing OTA to 0.10, not sure what information would be helpful, lmk if I can help.

edit: just realised that was with the wrong .bin file, oops!
