      I erased the firmware a couple of times and managed to have it working with firmware version 1.2.3. Other versions did not work. Am I doing sth wrong or m5strick oled is only working with version 1.2.3
      I am using windows 10 and uiflow.

        I'm not sure whats wrong there as I have 1.4.1 StickC running on both of mine.

          1. Turn M5StickC off
          2. Remove USB C from M5StickC. (If plugged.)
          3. Connect BAT and GND pins together with a jumper wire (male to male).
          4. Plug USB C into M5StickC and finally ...
          5. Remove immediately jumper wire.

          Your M5StickC will now work as expected !

          Do this every time M5StickC battery is drained because of bad HW design. :-(

            It can be started by the following method.

              Just to confirm. I am using M5stick OLED, not M5stickC. Does latest firmware also work with M5stick OLED?

                  Unfortunately M5Stack decided to drop support for the original M5Stick after version 1.2.3 without telling anyone. Firmware version 1.2.3 and below use a different fork of micropython, namely loboris's fork https://github.com/loboris/MicroPython_ESP32_psRAM_LoBo

                    ah so it was 1.2.3 they dropped support. Now this gives me some point of reference as I had forgotten which version it was.

                      Version 1.4.2 and version 1.4.3 works as well.
                      One mistake I made and probably some others made is that you have to select the StickC version in MBurner. Also, only the 115200 speed was working properly. With the other speeds, I had "A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header". Once the new firmware is flashed, disconnect the cable and reset the board by connecting the Gnd and the Bat connectors with a wire jumper.

                        @ftoure hetzer was referring to the original M5Stick not the M5stickC.
                        @hetzer did you manage to do what you wanted with it. I find it's better to work with original M5Stick as the M5stick didn't have much functionality in UIflow even when it was supported
