Just got my first ESP8266, I flashed micropython and could get a working python shell through serial. I ran 'import webrepl_setup', and after reset, even though I do get a shell, there is an error message (see below), and the shell is not responsive. Tried resetting many times, CTRL-C / D / Z, nothing works. Tried erasing flash and starting again, doesn't fix it (i.e. it is worse than the very first time I flashed micropython - are some settings stored in EEPROM, and if so, how to wipe them out?).
Funnily enough, I see the mp AP, I can connect to it and get an IP. I get a ping from 192.168.4.1, but when running the webrepl client, I get no response.
To the very least I would like to be able to get back to the stage where I had a python repl through serial, but I can't even get there?

Micropython shell stuck after I tried installing webrepl
Re: Micropython shell stuck after I tried installing webrepl
Quick follow-up, when connecting from my phone, using ESP8266Loader, I do have access to the REPL. On my computer I was using putty, which may have an issue sending stuff (although it did work when I first flashed MP).
