Describe the bug
When I use the OTA update feature to update from 0.9.8.prerelease1 to 0.9.8 the device bootloops.

Which device are you using
LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using
0.9.8.prerelease1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Mgmt
  2. Go to Global
  3. Scroll down to Update & Upgrade
  4. Wait for the update to finish and the device to reboot
  5. You get a bootloop

Additional context
Manually rebooting the device with the button on the left side resolves the bootloop, but the update fails (still on 0.9.8.prerelease1)

Edit: I end up in the same bootloop flashing using the web flasher (https://flasher.meshcore.co.uk/). I have not yet tried a -merged.bin clean flash.

This was caused by a conflict with the M5 Launcher I had flashed! After a clean flash the OTA to 0.9.8 worked as expected.
