ESP8266 ESP-01 Flash Firmware

I bought ESP8266 ESP-01 from Lelong.my. It already flashed with AI Thinker firmware. I decided to use NodeMCU firmware. So here's how I do it.

1) Download NodeMCU Flasher (https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher/tree/master/Win32/Release).
2) Download NodeMCU Firmware (https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/releases). I use nodemcu_float_0.9.6-dev_20150704.bin.
3) Run ESP8266Flasher.exe. Follow instruction below:-

Select The Right COM Port.

Select Firmware File.

Firmware File Selected.

Select The Right Baud Rate and Flash Size.

Dead Lenovo A850, Not Detected When Connected To PC

I have done FORMAT + DOWNLOAD A850 ROW rom to my Lenovo A850. But sadly, it is the wrong firmware. Supposed I need to select CN rom to my phone. After flashed ROW rom, the phone is dead = not detected by PC when connected with USB cable, no boot up.

So, I googled for solution, and found out with this link.
1) http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f672/lenovo-a850-dead-boot-how-easy-jtag-1868940/index2.html
2) http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f672/lenovo-a850-dead-boot-how-easy-jtag-1868940/index2.html#post11469369

So, my solution based on those links is:-
1) Power off phone.
2) Press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN while connecting USB cable to PC and phone.

Now the phone is detected by PC and I can flash another rom then.
