Thanks AgentSmithers for your suggestions
Yeah no worries, I've learned something as well. Does the 12E specify that it has a 26M Crystal vs a 40? Did you just guess that or see something to trigger trying that value?
"4.3. Crystal
Currently, the frequency of crystal oscillators supported include 40MHz, 26MHz and 24MHz. The accuracy of
crystal oscillators applied should be ±10PPM, and the operating temperature range should be between -20°C and 85°C.
When using the downloading tools, please remember to select the right crystal oscillator type. In circuit design,
capacitors C1 and C2, which are connected to the earth, are added to the input and output terminals of the crystal
oscillator respectively. The values of the two capacitors can be flexible, ranging from 6pF to 22pF, however, the specific
capacitive values of C1 and C2 depend on further testing and adjustment on the overall performance of the whole
circuit. Normally, the capacitive values of C1 and C2 are within 10pF if the crystal oscillator frequency is 26MHz, while
the values of C1 and C2 are 10pF<C1, C2<22pF if the crystal oscillator frequency is 40MHz."

Did you add external caps to your XTALK Pins to trigger the 26MHZ is if I'm reading this wrong the 12E is 26MHZ by default??
My WemosD1 is 40MHZ so I've never had to go down that road.
