## Troubleshooting
### General Issues
1. Kill the Script with ctrl + C
2. Read the output if something is not installed or Permissions are missing
3. Just restart the Script (fixes most of the Problem with FEL and Fastboot )
4. If this does not help reboot, retry
5. Open an Issue on this Git Repo.
### The script times out waiting for fel
This error is related to an insufficient amount of power provided by your USB port to the C.H.I.P.
If you have an external `5V` power supply, you can connect it to the `CHG-IN` pin of your C.H.I.P. to provide sufficient power.
Alternatively try a different (shorter, or higher quality) USB cable and check if your host PC has USB power saving enabled.
If this dos not work Install sunxi-tool v1.4.1:
```bash
git clone --branch v1.4.1 https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git
cd sunxi-tool/
make install-all install-misc
cd ../
./Flash.sh
