using a usb device wil cause problems, so my advice is use a proper pc or laptop containing a proper com port with 9 pins , and a null modem cable , and not use any usb adapters

mine was done using the serial port and a laptop containing a 9 pin standard serial port, as was loading the old repair firmware, and then loading in new firmware via usb

my freezing and other issues is much less but did not disappear entirely

so usb adapters ? = definitely NOT !

Update bootloader using USB plugin. You don't need serial lead.
