#57200 Hi everyone, i connected my esp8266 to an Arduino and plugged the Arduino to the PC (because I don't have a esp8266 - PC microUSB adapter) then I put my esp in setup mode (gpio-0 connected to ground) and tried to flash a custom firmware.
I can flash it succesfully using flash_download_tool but I can't using nodemcu flasher because the operation always stop at "Begin find esp8266".
I have some issues with ESPlorer too because it can't find the nodemcu firmware.
Anybody has a solution? I tried to disconnect and reconnect while flashing as I read on reddit but nthing changed.
Thanks for your support
