Windows instructions may need to be updated

[jakethesnake420]

On my fresh install of Windows 11, the current instructions do not work.

The issue is the driver is incorrectly assigned by windows automatically so when you use zadig and 'create new device' windows still uses the old driver. I could stil lselect the device in the flash website but it would fail instantly and print a security error in the console

DevTools console Flash-4uAmlvzh.js:4 [Flash] Connection error Error: Error while 
connecting to device at tr.pt (Flash-4uAmlvzh.js:4:38922) at async tr.connect (Flash-
4uAmlvzh.js:4:37616) at async WA.connect (Flash-4uAmlvzh.js:4:30725) at async sr.wt 
(Flash-4uAmlvzh.js:4:43935) at async sr.start (Flash-4uAmlvzh.js:4:42039)Caused by: 
SecurityError: Failed to execute 'open' on 'USBDevice': Access denied.

This is the way i got it working:

Open Device Manager

Plug a quality USB-C cable into the lower port (port 1) on the device.

Windows will see a new device—often mis-identified.

Find the device entry

In Device Manager, look under “Ports (COM & LPT)”, “Universal Serial Bus devices”, or “Other devices” for anything labeled “QUSB_BULK” or an unknown USB device.

Run Zadig

In the drop-down at the top, select the comma device entry you spotted in Device Manager.

If it’s not listed, choose “Create New Device”, then manually enter Vendor ID 05C6 and Product ID 9008.

Click “Replace Driver” or “Install Driver”

Wait for the progress bar to complete.

Proceed to flash

my computer has "QualComm..." as the device name. I also needed to unblock adblocker, and restart my computer for it to appear in my zadig drop menu. I needed to "replace" the driver. the alternative instruction of "new driver" with 05C6 and 9008 didn't work for me. Hope this is helpful.

Thank you for fixing my problem!
