### Why file writes fail all the time on DEVKIT V1.0?
* NodeMCU DEVKIT V1.0 uses ESP12-E-DIO(ESP-12-D) module. This module runs the Flash memory in [Dual IO SPI](#whats-the-different-between-dio-and-qio-mode) (DIO) mode. This firmware will not be correctly loaded if you uses old flashtool version, and the filesystem will not work if you used a pre 0.9.6 firmware version (<0.9.5) or old. The easiest way to resolve this problem s update all the firmware and flash tool to current version.

- Use the latest [esptool.py](https://github.com/themadinventor/esptool) with DIO support and command option to flash firmware, or
- Use the latest [NodeMCU flasher](https://github.com/NodeMCU/NodeMCU-flasher) with default option. (You must select the `restore to default` option in advanced menu tab), or
- Use the latest Espressif's flash tool -- see [this Espressif forum topic](http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=433) (without auto download support). Use DIO mode and 32M flash size option, and flash latest firmware to 0x00000. Before flashing firmware, remember to hold FLASH button, and press RST button once. Note that the new NodeMCU our firmware download tool, when released, will be capable of flashing firmware automatically without any button presses.
