Try flashing the firmware with nanoff --target ESP32_BLE_REV0 --update --serialport COM4 --masserase

[zawasp]

I did, same result afterwards.

[alberk8]

CD to this directory C:\Users\username\.dotnet\tools\.store\nanoff\2.5.xx\nanoff\2.5.xx\tools\net8.0\any\esptool\esptoolWin

run the command esptool --chip esp32 erase_flash

Then flash the firmware again with nanoff --target ESP32_BLE_REV0 --update --serialport COM4 --masserase

[josesimoes]

Your device has a rather outdated fw version. Partition tables have changed in the meantime.
But, like Albert suggested, masserase should be taking care of that and update the device to the new one.

Maybe you are keeping the device connected and VS open, which causes VS to use the cached version on the device details.
Try to close VS and open again and check in the device capabilities that the new fw is there.

Ok that worked, it seems indeed VS kept the old FW details cached. Thanks
