step and go on. Otherwise if you find “No device found!”shows, please press the “Re-Detect”

button to re-detect the device status. After re-detecting, in case the “Device Status”still shows

to load another update file in a specific path, you can press “Browse”button and choose it.

3. Press “Upgrade”button to start upgrading. When upgrading, the process bar will show the

current upgrade process.

Q&A

device wizard” dialog.

Press the “Cancel” button. After a while, the Notification window will pop out a notification like

the “Skip obtaining driver software from Windows Update”. After a while, you can see this.

For Windows 8

For Windows 8 you don’t need to do anything because Windows 8 won’t install drivers for the

unknown device automatically.

Q2. After “re-detecting”for several times, the “Device Status”still

shows “No device found!”.

A2. Please do the following checking.

a. Check if the device is connected to your computer through a good Micro USB cable.

b. Check if the USB driver is installed successfully.

Open the device manager. See if there is a port like this.
