Updating to firmware 1.50 bricks Tangara
#2
With the Tangara Companion (also using 0.4.3 from Flatpak, my fault), the device will not power up after the firmware upgrade. It also failed at the `Generic.LC_COLLATE` partition. I used the `esptool` method to flash manually and that actually worked with 1.50.

To put the device back on its feet, a manual upgrade worked for me:

Code:
unzip tangarafw-v1.5.0.tra
esptool --port /dev/serial/by-id/usb-cool_tech_zone_Tangara_5fb7344131200f22-if00 write_flash 65536 tangara.bin 11599872 lua.bin

After that, updating Tangara Companion to 0.5.2 allows the firmware to be reflashed to 1.5.0 without issues. So it might all be related to a fix in https://github.com/haileys/tangara-companion/pull/29, which was merged in 0.5.0? That would mean that for anyone who is getting the same issue to first try upgrading Tangara Companion if possible, or use an alternative upgrade method otherwise.
