Hardware: OVMS WIFI BLE BT cores=2 rev=ESP32/1 Firmware: 3.3.003-423-g68d9aee8/ota_0/main (build idf v3.3.4-849-g6e214dc33 Apr 19 2023 00:11:25) Running partition: ota_0 Boot partition: ota_0 Factory image: 3.2.002 OTA_O image: 3.3.003-423-g68d9aee8 OTA_1 image: 3.3.003-419-gfbbf3c0d

Removing the SD card and trying a S2 reset made no difference, so I proceeded to run the following commands to factory reset and boot from the factory firmware:

esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM3 --baud 921600 erase_region 0xC10000 0x100000

esptool.py --chip esp32 --port COM3 --baud 921600 erase_region 0xd000 0x2000

Both ran successfully however the unit is now no longer providing the factory wifi access point. What should I try next to restore it?
