NOCALL-10 on Heltec V3 iGate, not able to connect.

[La7cea]

Hi,
I have used the CA2RXU Lora aprs Igate Web-flasher to load my board (V3.1/3.2 and V4) with the firmware V3.1.7 (and many others). The erasing and flashing seem to go well, incuding startup of the serial monitor. But the only SSID I can see (on serial monitor and display) is this "NOCALL-10", and it will not accept any password (12345678). The display is working, also showing this NOCALL-10 and info about failed wifi.
Is it me doing something wrong, or is the board gone bad? Please help.. :-)

Hi ,

lets start checking everything:
-is your board the HELTEC V3.1 or V3.2 or V4 ?

[La7cea]

Hi, The text on the board says V3 and "v3.2". Because of this, I have selected "Heltec V3.1/3.2 and V4 (without GPS), and several firmware versions, without luck. I don't get any further than you can see on the picture. 🤣 73 de Jørn man. 12. jan. 2026, 14:56 skrev Ricardo Guzman (Richonguzman) < ***@***.***>:

I see no picture...

please describe the process of flashing (does it create the "NOCALL-10 AP" WiFiAP ?)?

This appear by itself.. After flashing it boots, and it says (among other things) NOCALL-10 in the display. I also, in the wifi-list on my phone, se that this ssid appear, but are not allowed to connect because it will not accept any pswd.. According to KI this Nocall-10 ssid indicate that something is wrong. After booting the V3 should appear with a different ssid. By the way, is "12345678" the correct pswd to get "in" the V3 (igate) to let me put in the other parameters? (My home network ssid and pswd, for example) 73 de Jørn man. 12. jan. 2026, 16:25 skrev Ricardo Guzman (Richonguzman) < ***@***.***>:

use "1234567890" as password

[La7cea]

Hi again, That was it.. I had the wrong password! 🤣 Now I am connected. First, I will read the document you linked to, then I will set up my new Igate 😇 Thank you very much! best 73 from LA7CEA, Jorn man. 12. jan. 2026 kl. 16:57 skrev Ricardo Guzman (Richonguzman) < ***@***.***>:

good! let me know how it goes

[Grahamw99]

Hi.
I have a similar but different problem. I have a Heltec V3 (not 3.1 or 3.2 etc.) It flashes fine and the Nocall WiFi ap appears. I then log in via the IP192.168.4.1 and begin configuring but the WiFi connection is dropped and will not re connect so I can never save the setting. Please can you advise what I may be doing wrong.

Thank you
Graham

[Grahamw99]

Hi,
Really basic settings. Nothing in Tactical call sign. Just the basics to get it working. However, I never get chance to Save it so I am unclear what difference the setting changes will make.

[richonguzman]

Connect to it

add wifi , wifi-password and only add the callsign (this should take just a few seconds) and then press save to see what happens

[Grahamw99]

To be honest. It has now gone completely bonkers. As soon as I plug it in, i lose control of the mouse which then bounces all over the screen and I can do nothing until I unplug it and re-boot the PC. Lord only knows what I have done. Sorry, I will leave you alone and try and figure this out.
Thanks for your help

[Grahamw99]

I think I am getting there. I have stopped it doing scary things and flashed it again. It now seems to behaving a little better. I will persevere.

[Grahamw99]

OK. It appears to be online and talking to the local Digipeaters etc. Thanks very much, Keep up the good work.!

[La7cea]

Hi, Tnx for your help. This was all my fault, because i trusted co-pilot who stated the pswd was 12345678.. If I had read ALL your info online, I would have known.. 🤣 I am currently running my igate on a Heltec V3 (LA7CEA-10), and several Trackers (Heltec HTIT, Lilygo Tbeam and Tdeck plus the 1w tracker), all flashed from your tool. And it works fine, so thank you for your hard work!! If you look at Narvik (in Norway) on aprs.fi you will se that because of you a lot of guys plays with lora-aprs 😀 73 de la7cea, Jørn tir. 31. mars 2026, 17:17 skrev Ricardo Guzman (Richonguzman) < ***@***.***>:
