ESP32 Devkit v1, Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

[Anthem]

I just recently got into the esp32 and im currently making a project

The first time I uploaded a code for said project it worked fine, but the next day the board was unable to upload leading to the error message
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

The full error mesage would be this

But at some point i have gotten this error message

the code was a tester code in this instance which would make the ESP32 say hello world in the serial monitor

When I looked up the meaning of exit status 2 it said about having to do with the connection between the board and the computer and i tried some solutions such as pressing the boot button while its uploading and tried pressing both the boot and EN button but to no result, i have also tried switching my cables and the same results. As of now I haven't tried using a different computer.

I am currently using Windows 10, Arduino IDE version 2.3.2 and a driver "CP210x". Also when I plug the board windows tells me that im connected and the arduino aslo recognise that its connected so I am confused what the problem might be

If it was relevant the first time i used it just after finishing i tried pugging in a 9v battery to the breadboard that I had the ESP32 on.

The most likely cause of this is a bad USB cable/port. Try a different port with the highest quality cable you have.
That said, applying 9V may very well have damaged the flash without injuring the cpu. This could appear to the esp32 like a communication failure.

[Anthem]

I have tried switching cables and even changed computers just to confirm its not my computer port, so its likely the second answer. If so is there a way to fix it or am i forced to buy a new one?

[ESP_Sprite]

You could try desoldering the flash and replacing it with a new one, but considering the time cost of that and that there may be other failures as well, I'd just grab a new devkit.
