OK, so it is a firmware lockout, exactly the same situation as with your first board  
( [WIFI Relay,Problem loading the code](https://community.openenergymonitor.org/t/wifi-relay-problem-loading-the-code/421) )

I suggest you return the board for re-flashing an please only use the recommended in the wiki method (it works).
