Flashing T-R42 on Windows 8.1

[misantronic]

Hi,

I had problems connecting my T-R42 II to my Windows 8.1 PC. With the help of a mixture of all tutorial on the web, I somehow made it that my PC now detectes the device as "rk31sdk" with its drivers installed from "Rockusb Driver v3.7".
I can access all file etc via MoboRobot.
When I press the recovery button and connect the device, its not being detected. In recovery mode it works.
What never ever works: the RKBatchTool never detects the device, in no mode. I also tried editing the config.ini adding "SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE", no success.
I'm stuck

The only way i got it working on W8.1 is the trick someone posted on XDA where you replace some USB drivers manually.

The script didn't work all the way through, so i had to replace the files manually too (be sure that the script has created backups).
The windows update mentioned didn't work either
