No AP after flashing ESP32

Hello Magnus,

thank you for creating this awesome project. Unfortunately I am not able to see an AP after I flashed my ESP32.

To flash the device I used esptool and my output was:

esptool.py write_flash 0 /Users/morris124/Downloads/flash_esp32_inetbox2mqtt_v264_4M.bin.zip
esptool.py v4.5.1

So I assumed it was succesfully written on my ESP32.
The red LED is constantly flashing super fast.

To troubleshoot the issues I already tried a diffrent ESP32 with no success. I hope I'm not missing something obvious.

I would be happy for any advice.

Don't flash the .zip file but the unzipped .bin file.
IIRC fast flashing says 'no bootloader', which of course the zip does not provide.
