Unable to flash Costco/Feit BPA800 bulb

See original GitHub issue

Did you have issues getting a device to flash? Please be sure to include your device name, model, and firmware version as well as your logs! Feit BPA800 bulb from Costco.

The bulb flashes quickly (EZ mode) then turns solid once the SmartConfig packets are sent. It connects to vtrust-flash but nothing happens after that.

::0e is my phone, and ::dd is the light bulb.
