I have V4, and not 4B I'm sure. I recently ordered this: Amazon.com: Upgraded SI4732 Mini Radio, ATS MINI V4 Pocket Shortwave Radio, with Built-in Headphone Amplifier and Hi-Z, Exquisite Metal Shell, Portable AM/FM/LSB/USB All Band Receiver for Outdoors and Daily use : Electronics

✅ My radio has firmware V2.33 (Sept 22, 2025)

Can I get confirmation on my AI solution below?

What ChatGPT says:

That firmware was built for the V4B hardware, not the V4.

When V4 hardware runs V4B firmware, three things break:

1. Wi‑Fi menu won’t open
2. No network scan list appears
3. OTA updates don’t work

Your symptoms match this exactly.

The good news:
Your radio is fine — it just needs the correct firmware flashed.

🎯 What you need to do next

Since you have V4 hardware, you must flash the V4 firmware build, not V4B.

Once you do that:

• Wi‑Fi menu will open normally
• Network list will appear
• OTA updates will work
• Web control interface will unlock

🛠️ Before I give you the firmware + flashing steps

I need one last detail so I can give you the correct firmware file:

👉 Joe, what operating system are you flashing from?

Choose one:

• Windows
• Mac
• Linux

Once you tell me, I’ll give you:

• The correct V4 firmware download
• The exact ESP32 Flash Tool settings
• The correct baud rate, flash mode, and offsets
• A safe recovery method if anything goes wrong

Just tell me your OS and I’ll take you the rest of the way.
