Blank / white screen after boot using WROOM32E

[pepspeps-hack]

After flashing my NodeMCU WROOM32E v1.3 used in combination with the 2.8 TFT SPI 240x320 v1.2 touchscreen I only get a white screen. I tried flashing using the ESPwebtool, FZEE Flasher and using the commandline flashtool FZ_Marauder_v2.8. I checked and rechecked the readme and the old readme for the correct pinout.

I reproduced this issue with another ESP32 board using the WROOM32 on a Devkit V1 board.

I used the following commandlines with the Windows Flashtool v 2.8:

To erase:

esptool.exe -p COM4 -b 921600 -c esp32 --before default_reset -a no_reset erase_region 0x9000 0x6000

Ouput:

esptool.py v4.1
Serial port COM4
Connecting.......
Chip is ESP32-D0WD-V3 (revision 3)
Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, VRef calibration in efuse, Coding Scheme None

Changing baud rate to 921600
Changed.
Erasing region (may be slow depending on size)...
Erase completed successfully in 0.1 seconds.
Staying in bootloader.

Then flashing the firmware with the following command:

esptool.exe -p COM4 -b 921600 --before default_reset -a hard_reset -c esp32 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 2MB 0x1000 WROOM\bootloader.bin 0x8000 WROOM\partitions.bin 0x10000 WROOM\esp32_marauder_v1_0_0_20240626_old_hardware.bin 0xE000 WROOM\boot_app.bin

I get the following output:

After that I only get a blank / white screen. What am I doing wrong? Please some advice...! Is additional info needed?
