Is anyone working on support for the Heltec WiFI LoRa 32 board or got it working for RTL_433? I have been struggling to locate a V2.1 board in the UK and got sent a V3 when I thought I had found one

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Ordered a v2… since I knew it was supported out-of-the-box, but received a v3..
I've tried flashing the board using the web tool, but there I get "Failed to initialize". The flash download tool seems to work and shows "finished", but nothing happens. LED on the board doesn't flash, the display doesn't turn on and no AP gets created.
Since from v2 to v3 the MCU and the LoRa chip have changed, I feel like I've tried what I can but it just doesn't work because the hardware is different.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Support (in the web tool?) for the new heltec wifi lora 32 v3 board.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
I've tried the different heltec firmware versions.
**Additional context**
Pretty new to all this, but I'm very willing to help test.
so doesn’t look that good
Personally, my alternative was a LilyGo TTGO LoRa32 V2.1
. I understand that the V2 boards are now in phaseout.
