  1. Bootloader Image download
  • sec_usb_xloader.img (Done)
  • sec_usb_xloader2.img (Done)
  • l-loder.bin (Done)

  1. Driver Disconnected and Reboot

  2. There are not any response from Hikey 970.

We think that this issue was caused by hardware (We have modified Hikey 970 Board)

Looks like you are working in VirtualBox. Many users have reported problems related to the the USB disconnect/reconnects that happen during the recovery process. After the reboot does the Hikey970 connect to the physical machine or the VM?
