Install drivers

1. Open XBurn and click Drivers on the left.

2. In the driver list, click Install to the right of USB Driver (ADB, Fastboot, DFU) and USB to Serial Driver (CH341).

Verify drivers

After both drivers are installed, verify each:

Verify the serial driver

Connect the device to the PC and confirm in Device Manager that the serial port is recognized as USB-SERIAL CH340, which means the serial driver is installed successfully.

Use the MobaXterm serial console to put the device into Fastboot mode. When Device Manager recognizes it as Android Device, the USB driver is installed successfully.

   Serial engine	PuTTY	Allows manual COM port selection
