SLZB-06 Firmware Update failed - Z2M broken

Configuration Zigbee
1

After doing Zigbee Coordinator OTA update - 20240710 for SLZB-06 my Z2M Configuration is broken and Z2M wont start anymore.
I am lost searching for the cause and was hoping somebody could give me a hint to fix this and get Z2M up and running again!

Starting Zigbee2MQTT without watchdog.

Did you try to power cycle the SLZB-06 already ? (Power off,wait for some secs and power on again, then try again)

I tried that already. Also restartet HA system and reloaded Z2M several times. No success!

Perhaps this could be a solution for you: (Its for the new test firmware, but who knows)

In the end I was able to restore everything by downgrading firmwares, shutting down Z2M addon, and manually restoring all the files in homeassistant/zigbee2mqtt from previous automatic backup. Files included configuration.yaml, coordinator_backup.json, database.db and state.json. The restart Z2M and everything was back.

If not, the best place to get specific help may be there also , i think.
