Waiting for PreLoader VCOM, please reconnect mobile to brom mode #1156

Hi

First of all thank you for this awsome tool. It works perfect on prebuilt Linux ISO. However I cannot make it to work in Windows 10. I am getting error "Waiting for PreLoader VCOM, please reconnect mobile to brom mode" or "Jumping to 0x200000: ok.".

I've carefully followed your guide. I've also installed Preloader VCOM driver by adding legacy device from device menager. What am I missing? mtkclient1a mtkclient1 mtkclient2

The question mark indicates that you need to update the usbdk device driver after reconnecting. Otherwise, you might consider to use the --noreconnect option. Be aware that windows updates the usb stack quite often and usbdk seems not able to cope with updates, thus I recommend to use linux instead.
