yeah

its not registering on the mi desktop program

I don't know how much of a solution that might be

but I've had success solving these kinds of problems

just booting onto a linux distro

and trying to use adb, etc. from there.

maybe you could try that

alright ill give it a shot

there can be a lot of things that fuck up the process on Windows

some file not being in the path, a bad driver, a bad registry setting, etc.

GNU/Linux tends to be easier in that regard

not to fuck up, that is.

yeah ill fuck around with it in a bit

linux isn't really an option rn so

alright then lol

i don't have my own computer lmfao
