"Erasing" forever on ESP32-A1S

[Pittermaennchen]

I have two ESP32-A1S (V2.2 A404), but I am failing to flash both with anything. This is utterly annoying since I spent hours and hours in resolving this, but without success.

I tried different cables, different PCs (Windows and Linux, both Chrome-Browser) and the two different ESP32 Audio Kits - nothing works.

When I try to flash something, both are stuck in "erasing" mode. When I try to install without erasing it, then I get an error stating "Timed out waiting for packet content" And yes: I pushed the Boot-button.

This is driving me crazy. I don't know what else I could do. I also tried different states of the DIP-Switches. Out of the box they were all set to OFF. I tried 1-3 on, the rest off. I tried everything on, I tried everything off, I tried 1 and 3 on, the rest off. This is so utterly annoying. Please help! A first A1S-Audio-Kit (A426) which I received some weeks ago worked without any problems. So I know it should work.

PLEASE HELP ME

Here the logs when connecting to the Audio Kits:
