Help Flashing Sonoff with FT232 ESPeasy/ArduinoIDE

After following a few links and idea from the forum, I have attempted to flash a 1ch sonoff basic using this method:
(FT232 and with the command line) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN_QKOWvG1s -
The flash works, however it fails to give the ESP wifi signal.
Some further digging reveals this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMN568beiYE
Which says this can be solved using Ardunio IDE to flash, however no code is given and im a complete IDE novice. Can anyone give a step by step guide as im keen to like the sonoff with my smartthings hub.

Are you wanting to use it within SmartThings?
Just search sonoff in the search beat and there’s a thread showing how to flash firmware on them to work with SmartThings.

Here? [RELEASE] Sonoff, Sonoff TH, S20, Dual, 4CH, POW, & Touch Device Handler & SmartApp ($5 & $10 Smart Switches)

Yes - this follows the same process as shown in my first link. But appears to be unsuccessful when flashing the latest 2017 units.

It seems to be possible but with the various new routes of doing it, I cant get my head around what i need to do.

Ah yeah.
I believe it’s the same firmware just use a different program to do the flash if you scroll up a bit on there someone talks about it think it’s called Node
