I don't see any issue with the schematic at first glance, only that D0 should have a Pull-Up?
If you look at https://dl.espressif.com/dl/schematics/ ... _SCH-2.pdf, bottom right corner of the PDF, you can see that every signal on the SD-Card connector have pull-ups, even data lines as well.

What do you use to power the system? Are you using your USB port on your PC? This may not be enough, unstable power supply can cause an insane amount of problems with these modules, as they can destabilize the reset line.
Looking at the message during flashing, this can be the case.
I suggest, to use an externally powered USB hub and a good quality cable to connect it, otherwise it will not work.

I think, that what happened is, that a flashing actually started, but didn't complete because the ESP was reset. If you fix your power issue you shall be good.
