Yes, this is a common issue with M5Stick C flashing. Try holding the G0 button while connecting the USB cable to enter bootloader mode, then start the flash. Also, double-check your USB drivers and try a different USB port directly on your PC (avoid hubs). If problems persist, adding a 10µF capacitor between EN and GND can help stabilize the reset line. Make sure the serial port is correctly selected, and close other apps using it. This usually resolves the “Failed to connect to ESP32” errors.
