A couple issues (yes I read the wiki)

[GabrielSestieri]

I bought a cactus that came pre installed with everything. Like many of the people here I tried changing the name and password of the device and the next time I plugged it back in it no longer showed up. I am on a Mac version 10.15.7 and the latest version of Arduino.I read every line in the wiki and scoured all the issues both opened and closed. I tried rebooting both software and hardware to no avail. The problems I ran into are as follows:

1. Re-flashing it would generate a "ESP8266FtpServer.h: No such file or directory" I tried with different versions of both the ESP8266 library and different versions of the Json library (since the wiki has been written new versions have been released so I used the exact ones in the wiki and vice versa). Once I realized I don't necessarily need to re-flash I went on to:

2. Software Unbricking did not show me a "Resetting configuration files back to default settings." It just didn't do anything, just cleared the input field.

3. Hardware Unbricking, which is the one I thought I'd have the most luck with since it's rather simple steps was the most annoying. For the life of me I could not get the bootloader port to show up. I ran a magnet under the usb like mentioned (close-away-close-away, like in the YouTube video, two blue flashes) and quickly went to Tools > Ports but the only port showing up was:
   "dev.cu.usbmodem1412101 (LilyPad Arduino USB)" no bootloader in sight.
   Regardless I still tried the mentioned steps and still has not showed up in my WIFI. I uploaded the esp8266Programmer sketch and it did that with no problems, then I ran a magnet under it twice. Unplugged and replugged. Nothing

Any help would be gladly appreciated I've been at this for like 3 and half hours.

BTW the USB flashes every time I plug it in and flashes every time I run a magnet under it. Al
