Uploading firmware issues

[DevSecNinja]

Keeping track of all the weird errors I'm getting when uploading a new firmware here. RAM & Flash are size-wise OK:

RAM:   [=====     ]  45.5% (used 37248 bytes from 81920 bytes)
Flash: [======    ]  55.1% (used 575605 bytes from 1044464 bytes)

ERROR Error binary size: Unknown error from ESP

Fixed by hitting the "Restart" button on the ESP Home device in Home Assistant, per: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/5823

Sometimes it takes ages to upload the firmware. I guess at least 5-10x slower. Not sure why. What I usually do is hit the EDIT button in ESPHome again, restart the board via Home Assistant and install again:

Previous mentioned errors all came while I was running 2024.7.3. I'm now running 2024.10.3 and any new errors mentioned are from that version or later.

Even a reboot didn't help. Instead, I just used a USB connection.

USB works great and I haven't seen this issue on ESP32 both wired and wireless. Could be a ESP8266 thing.
