user85401: When i try to upload code to the esp32 the following error shows up in the command line:
A fatal error occurred: Packet content transfer stopped (received 8 bytes).
I use platformio in VScode the platform.ini file looks like this:
    [env:esp-wrover-kit]
    platform = espressif32
    board = esp-wrover-kit
    framework = arduino
    upload_port = COM4
    monitor_speed = 115200

Here's the code i'm trying to upload:
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial.println("init");
}

void loop() {
}

It's an esp32-wrover-dev from freenove. When i unplug it and plug it back in it starts to write random stuff to the serial monitor, when i attempt an upload it stops but it also gives me the error above.

user85401: For anyone wondering, i found out it means that there's some kind of disconnect between the computer from which your uploading and the file system. Essentially, the esp32 is broken.

user86335: I was able to resolve this issue by detaching jumpers that i had connected to the GPIO 12/13 pins during upload.
After uploading they can be attached again.
