Impossible to flash ESP32-S2-SOLO

[monowii]

Hi,

ESP32 Arduino 2.0.1 RC1 it is working nicely with my ESP32-S2-DevKitM-1.

Hoewer i'm having troubles flashing my ESP32-S2-SOLO module with ESP32 Arduino 2.0.1 RC1.
This is the current schematic:

I have the following error (The invalid head of packet is not constant):

Here is the serial output when reseting with GPIO0 to GND:

Thank you for you help!

I have some great news, the UART0 flash still doesn't work but I tried the USB programming with GPIO 19 / GPIO 20 and it worked the first time !

Hi, could you, please, be so kind and tell me, how you did forced ESP32-S2-Solo to connect to computer = be programmed?
I am unable to make it working. I am noob, obviously, 'cause I am lost in this

Thank you
