Important Notice

• Miracle Box requires a hardware box / dongle to work. Merely installing the setup and trying to run the tool (without having connected the hardware to the PC) won't work unless you are using a loader version
  
• Using the loader version might trigger an antivirus warning. While this might be a false positive, you are entirely responsible for allowing the loader to run on your PC
  
• For SPD drivers, you can try the drivers on the list @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-26658.html ; Certain drivers might work fine for certain SPD tools so ensure to try the different drivers on that list
