When testing the program on a laptop that has Windows 10 installed, it times out on exploiting the bootloader. Specifically, this happens when the program attempts to read the response of a version request packet. Attempting to crash the bootloader fails, so clearly more than an unread response is an issue.

Also, when compiling it I had to patch out usage of endian.h; regardless of whether I ever support Windows, I should probably replace it with something more portable. This article is of interest.

Note that I installed Samsung's USB driver so the computer could recognize the phone, and then used Zadig to replace it with WinUSB.

I tried the libusbK driver and it worked just fine, maybe I should close this issue...

None of the other drivers work, but that one does. Well yay, I won't need to ask anyone to boot into a working Linux system (while I would prefer one over Windows, I doubt everyone is the same way at all).
