Trouble updating Prime firmware

1. Close the connkit, put it in update mode directly (holding SYMB while the boot happens), and then once in update mode start the connkit.
2. Use a different USB port. Certain USB configurations/ports/usb3 seem to cause misbehavior sometimes.

I have tried this now, still no success. When I put the Prime in update mode (assuming this is the same as indicated by "recovery mode" on the Prime's screen) it never appears in the list of devices in the connkit (or, if it was connected before rebooting to update mode, it disappears.)

There are only two USB ports on this laptop, behaviour is the same for both.

More ideas?
