- There is no "serial mode" anymore like with version 1.9. When the Wifi cannot connect to the SSID it will automatically enter a "safe" mode where the Serial console is activated (note Serial is always available on the ESP32 because it has multiple UARTs). The EMS-ESP's LED will blink fast when in Serial mode. When this happens connect via a USB using baud 115200. - There is no "serial mode" anymore like with version 1.9.

If you run into issues try first erasing the ESP8266 with `esptool.py erase_flash` and uploading the new firmware manually. BBQKees has a good write-up at https://bbqkees-electronics.nl/wiki/gateway/firmware-update-to-v2.html.
