Following the link in the error you posted, and using the error terms...

Invalid head of packet (0xXX): Possible serial noise or corruption.

This error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:

  • Using bad quality USB cable.
  • Sometimes breadboards can short the SPI flash pins on the board and cause this kind of problem. Try removing your development board from the breadboard.
  • The chip might be browning out during flashing. FTDI chips’ internal 3.3V regulator is not enough to power an ESP, see Insufficient Power.

Other things to try:

  • Try to sync and communicate at a much lower baud rate, e.g. esptool --baud 9600 ....
  • Try tracing the interactions running esptool --trace ... and see if anything is received back at all.
  • Try skipping chip autodetection by specifying the chip type, run esptool --chip ESP32 ....

If none of the above mentioned fixes help and your problem persists, please open a new issue.
