Windows 8, Windows will pop up the “User Account Control”dialog. You should press “Yes”to go

on.)

The UpgradeClient appears. If the “Device status”shows “Device CONNECTED!”, you can skip this

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

“No device found!”, please refer to Q&A2 to troubleshoot.

The UpgradeClient will automatically preload the update.bin in the upgrade package. If you want

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.
