i don't use complicated sketch just use sample from sketch from arduino IDE to test my hardware

Sketch

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
}

@farrasathallah
What tool are being used to upload the firmware?
Is the MD5 error message coming from Arduino IDE?
What is the version of it?

[farrasathallah]

@SuGlider i am using arduino IDE firmware,
I have verified my software is safe but when uploaded it always displays an md5 error message
I don't really understand the version referred to here

[Prithul0218]

I am having the same issue on Arduino IDE 2.0.3 and I believe its a bug with the new IDE.

Interestingly this problem goes away if you compile your code for Arduino Nano, and then switch back to your ESP32 board and upload it.

[SuGlider]

I don't really understand the version referred to here

The IDE version. Is it the lastest 2.0.3 IDE or the previous 1.8.x?
You can try with the previous IDE version (1.8.18). It works correctly.

https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases

Interestingly this problem goes away if you compile your code for Arduino Nano, and then switch back to your ESP32 board and upload it.

Humm.... this really sounds like an issue with the IDE 2.0.3.

[farrasathallah]

Saya mengalami masalah yang sama pada Arduino IDE 2.0.3 dan saya yakin ini adalah bug dengan IDE baru.

Menariknya masalah ini hilang jika Anda mengkompilasi kode Anda untuk Arduino Nano, lalu beralih kembali ke papan ESP32 Anda dan mengunggahnya.

I've tried uploading it with the same esp and the result is that one can and the other doesn't work

[VladimirKraswov]

I was helped by changing the upload speed from 921600 to 115200

I was helped by changing the upload speed from 921600 to 115200

This worked for me!

[NL-Frank]

I had exactly the same problem with NodeMCU ESP-C3-12F-Kit with IDE V2.0.4, switching to 115200 solved the problem. THX!

I had the same issue, here's a solution I found:
Hold the '0' button an press the reset button. Apparently it puts the board in 'download' mode.
Then Upload your sketch.
You should see in the output that memory is being written.
Then you have the dreaded
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1 but fear no, just press the reset button again, and the board restarts and should run your program.
Interestingly, just before the error message, Output reads:
WARNING: ESP32-S2FNR2 (revision v0.0) chip was placed into download mode using GPIO0. esptool.py can not exit the download mode over USB. To run the app, reset the chip manually. To suppress this note, set --after option to 'no_reset'. indicating that.

[pahanadithya]

I got this type of error, how can I fix this error? Please help me!

[aharonis]

For some modules, it is necessary to hold down the Boot button while loading the program so that the loading process is error-free.
It's helps for me!
