    Start with the top of the case. You need to tear the whole thing apart, starting from the top.

    So this is the point of using NVCleanstall is that we're changing the template, which is 134B to 249C, so that your device gets detected properly.

    @vetl I had to try all nvmsoig.info templates 1 by 1 to see which works.
