Do you know what the problem is?
Not to be too critical of your work but it appears that the soldering work could be checked over a bit. Are you holding the pin low to program the flash.
Provide details of what you are doing. What you are using for programming hardware/software/firmware etc...
Maybe this would help
http://www.esp8266basic.com/flashing-instructions.htmlLook at the diagram for the arduino it shows how things should be hooked up etc...
To be honest you may want to consider using a nodemcu by the time you figure in the cost of the board, cost of the time, etc not to mention the ability to have access to all GPIO's etc and easily programmable.
I see a lot of people using custom boards lately when what they should be doing is using the nodemcu with a customized harness instead a way better solution imho.
You can get two dupont 15 pin housings with female pins and go to town adapt the wiring and the other end to fit your application.
The nodemcu will allow for many applications it is a universal solution which is why it was developed it can be used with anything or any IDE that I am aware of currently... The cost of one is very cheap when you consider the cost of the board etc... New hardware is nice but the nodemcu with custom harnessing will do the trick for any application.
Take care not trying to discourage you form tinkering but before you develop a board you may want to consider going this route and really it would not hurt to stick with it either for a final product if you need something propritary make it the harness, software, and if need be the firmware. If it is space you are trying to save you would use about the same amount of space with a nodemcu maybe a hair more in comparison but overall it will be roughly the same size over all.
Trust me it is a step forward in development and will improve the amount of time you spend on dev work. Its very nature and purpose is anything you are currently trying to accomplish.
