Could you try unplugging your device and plugging it back when after every time LeetDown says “5 second cooldown”? And also make sure you’re not using a USB Hub as it may cause connection issues with idevices in recovery mode.

[hieutran106]

It's kind of hard not to use USB Hub. Because in modern macbook, there are only USB-C ports. Thus, I have to use a USB adapter to plug from USB-C to lightning port.

Adapters are fine, it’s the Hubs causing issues. But if you still want to use that, try unplugging your device and plugging back into your computer every time LeetDown says “5 second cooldown”.

After I tried to unplug and then plug it back. The app shows 1 more line in the log "[+] Starting restore process", but it failed eventually though. --------------Log
