@spectzy, try the "328P old bootloader" option under tools->processor in the IDE.

PLEASE DO NOT HIJACK / NECRO POST !

Could you also take a few moments to Learn How To Use The Forum.

Hello, Welcome to the Arduino Forum. This guide explains how to get the best out of this forum. Please read and follow the instructions below. Being new here you might think this is having rules for the sake of rules, but that is not the case. If you don’t follow the guidelines all that happens is there is a long exchange of posts while we try to get you to tell us what we need in order to help you, which is frustrating for you and frustrating for us. The people who try to help with your pro…

It will help you get the best out of the forum in the future.

• Your OS and version can be valuable information, please include it along with extra security you are using.
• Always list the version of the IDE you are using and the board version if applicable.
• Use quote or add error messages as an attachment NOT a picture.
• How to insert an image into your post. ( Thanks @sterretje )
• Add your sketch where applicable but please use CODE TAGS ( </> )
• Add a SCHEMATIC were needed even if it is hand drawn
• Add working links to any specific hardware as needed (NOT links to similar items)
• Remember that the people trying to help cannot see your problem so give as much information as you can

COMMON ISSUES

• Ensure you have FULLY inserted the USB cables.
• Check you have a COMMON GROUND where required. ( Thanks @Perry)
• Where possible use USB 2.0 ports or a USB 2.0 POWERED HUB to rule out USB 3.0 issues.
• Try other computers where possible.
• Try other USB leads where possible.
• You may not have the correct driver installed. CH340/341 or CP2102 or FT232 VCP Drivers - FTDI
• There may be a problem with the board check or remove your wiring first.
• Remove any items connected to pins 0 and 1.

COMPUTER RELATED

• Close any other serial programs before opening the IDE.
• Ensure you turn off any additional security / antivirus just to test.
• There may be a problem with the PC try RESTARTING it.
• You may be selecting the wrong COM port.
• Avoid cloud/network based installations where possible OR ensure your Network/Cloud software is RUNNING.
• Clear your browsers CACHE.
• Close the IDE before using any other serial programs.
• Preferably install IDE’s as ADMINISTRATOR or your OS equivalent

ARDUINO SPECIFIC BOARDS

• CH340/341 based clones do not report useful information to the “get board info” button.
• NANO (Old Types) some require you to use the OLD BOOTLOADER option.
• NANO (ALL Types) See the specific sections lower in the forum.
• NANO (NEW Types) Install your board CORE’s.
• Unless using EXTERNAL PROGRAMMERS please leave the IDE selection at default “AVRISP mkII”.
• Boards using a MICRO usb connector need a cable that is both DATA and CHARGE. Many are CHARGE ONLY.

CREATE editor install locations.

• On macOs ~/Applications/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/ArduinoCreateAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/config.ini
• On Linux ~/ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1/config.ini
• On Windows C:\Users[your user]\AppData\Roaming\ArduinoCreateAgent-1.1

Performing the above actions may help resolve your problem without further help.

I could also solve download problem using "328P old bootloader" option Tools->Processor: in the IDE menu. Thanks.

please help me . i bought this new arduino uno for a project and i am encountering this problem

Hi @fizix. I have some things you can try to fix the common causes of this error message:

Remove any connections to pins 0 and 1 on your Arduino board. These pins are used for communication with your computer, including uploads. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with uploads.

Make sure you have the correct board selected from the Tools > Board menu in the Arduino IDE. Note that some boards have similar names, but are not interchangeable. Examples include "Arduino Uno" vs. "Arduino Uno WiFi" vs. "Arduino Uno WiFi Rev2", "Arduino Nano" vs. "Arduino Nano Every" vs. "Arduino Nano IoT" vs "Arduino Nano 33 BLE" vs. "Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect", "Arduino Duemilanove" vs. "Arduino Due".

Make sure you have selected the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu in the Arduino IDE.

Sometimes the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu. Other times it will not. If you don't know which port is your Arduino board, you can find it by doing this:

1. Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
2. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus.
3. Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
4. Close the Tools menu.
   The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
5. Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
6. Select Tools > Port from the Arduino IDE menus. - The new port listed in the menu is the one for your Arduino board.

i have tried all of these but it shows the same error again .

Please try this experiment and report the results:

1. Connect the Arduino board to your computer with the USB cable.
2. Press and release the button on the Arduino board that is marked "RESET".

Do you see the "L" LED blink immediately after you release the "RESET" button?

NOTE: This will not solve the problem. This is only done to gather some more information about the problem.

My experience has been that when you have a program that writes to the serial port regularly Serial.print(), and you have the Serial monitor window open, the programmer seems to often be unable to gain exclusive use of the serial port to start programming.
My solution when that happens is to close the serial monitor, then hit sketch>upload.

[fizix]

did that too . same error again

Please answer my question.
