Best Answer

So the error is device descriptor read/64, error -110 which is basically has something to do with power. Your laptop/desktop was not able to supply enough power to the USB.

A solution that has worked for many is shutting down the system, unplug the charger and USB for 5 minutes, replug charger and USB, restart the system.
