probably,
what installation method did you choose?
“plug into the computer running esp dashboard” ?
you could try replacing the usb cable
or using edge/chrome “plug into this computer”

if you already chose the last one and this computer is a laptop have the power plugged in.

Also, the next time, could you copy past the text instead of making photo’s?
even a screenshot would be easier to read.

It is explicitly mentioning the used baud rate of 460800. Switch back to 115200 and see if that works. If not, try with another D1 Mini board.

When you plug the board in, dmesg will tell you which device it’s serial port created.

I get exactly the same error when flashing via the Home Assistant running Raspberry Pi. Can’t get it to work over any computers (tried two macs and one Windows) USB. It will always say failed to initialized while I get that “No Serial data” detected via the Raspberry. Do I have to bring the D1 mini into flash mode before or does it do this automatically?

Here is the log:

Did you short gpio to gnd when applying power?

Im having the exact same problem. All my regular esp8266 boards flash fine. Same cable. Any solutions found?

I’ve got the same problem. Here’s my log:

Has anyone found a solution?

Same question as last time. Did you short gpio0 to gnd when applying power?

Also are you 100% sure it is ttyUSB0?
