(20-08-2017, 08:10 AM)PatrickEdem Please sir, i have set-up adb successfully, i have also install sciusb2serial successfully but when i connect my phone, it's trying to install the device software. From the taskbar it's showing, installing device driver software but at the end could not install, showing the device driver software not install successfully. What should I do, pls help.
Maybe it is because of the OS. I always get this trouble using 64bit OS Windows. Try it on 32bit Windows

the guide doesnt require sciusb2serial driver, only adb drivers
sciusb2serial is required if you intend to flash using research download etc
did you get stuck along the way in the rooting guide? if yes, then where exactly?

i'll take it that you've successfully installed adb but adb still isnt detecting your device when you type "adb devices"
* ensure that usb debugging has been enabled on your device, also check the device screen to access any request
if it still doesnt detect, then try the fix @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17105.html
