- Supported interface: COM/UFS only
- Booting of LOCOSTO-based phones is tricky process - perhaps, you will need to disconnect/connect cable/battery several times before phone will start booting
- Always select correct model (Z320 for Z320 phones, T250 for T250 phones)
- SEtool2 auto-create TA (eeprom) backup after each phone boot. Keep TA backups! If you somehow damage TA area and have no backup - you'll get a dead phone.
