0x45 is an ascii character ('E'). Are you sure that whatever you set as the firmware update endpoint actually serves a valid OTA image?

Hi ESP_Sprite,

I copied over the bin file from build folder to endpoint folder. I am using the same example file as new firmware with just an additional printf statement.

The point its it can be redirecting link with http code 30x, it can be any text returned etc.
Usually issue was when downloaded content was some html with "<" (0x3C). In your case its very unusual, because its "E" (0x45).

Hi,
Could anyone guide me how to implement " simple_ota_example" properly.
