Dear, I start the Script as SU(root), there is an Error below. And then I modify the owner of pertinent files( Homebrew, Cellar, Frameworks...), but nothing works! Please help, I am really grateful to get you reply! Thanks!

Don't run the script as root. I never say in the readme to do so

Ignore them. They aren't me so don't do things they say to and expect it to work.

All right! So, how to solve the problem the link describes ? I have the same problem. https://github.com/MatthewPierson/1033-OTA-Downgrader/issues/50#issue-514600690

This may be a pyusb related error. I am going to look into this further.
