How long it was like that. If it's for quite long time, then press and hold power button it restart it. Try enabling usb debugging and install usb drivers, then try again.
Xcover is not a supported model for this method.
I started the root but after 5.5 hours on the mobile phone it is still there the writing "downloading... Do not turn off target!!" and on the pc: "Waiting for device". How much time does it usually take?
Thank you
No it will not work.
