In the second step (Prepare), My phone automatically turns off! then the PC companion asks me to (disconnect phone from PC, turn the phone off and wait for 5 seconds (While my phone is already off!), the press on the back bottun and reconnect the phone to the laptop.

When I trun off my phone, press on back and hold it while connecting the device. the problem begins:

The device keeps on connecting and disconnecting in the PC companion (While its off) and the companion asks me to repeat the whole process again. and every time I reach to second step (Prepare) I face the same problem!
