# APX Mode (USB debug) APX Mode can be used to run Fusee Gelee or use Nvidia tools to flash the hardware.\ \ \ \ "Power off the device. \ When the device is properly shutdown (not sleep mode!) plug in your USB type A to type A plug (it has a male usb on each end) from your Surface USB port into another computer USB port. \ \ I did this with a computer running Linux but it should work with any operating system. It's important you have the cable connected, it seems the RCM APX mode doesn't reestablish a connection if the cable is missing or removed. At least that's what I observed when I unplugged the cable while in RCM APX mode. With the cable in place hold both the power and the volume up key down simultaneously for a few seconds and then let go of the power while keeping the volume up key held down for a few more seconds then let go. If successful you should see some sort of USB based "NVIDIA Corp." device appear."\ \ Nvflash v2.6 - [https://docs.toradex.com/103464-nvfl...ry-toolset.zip](https://docs.toradex.com/103464-nvflash-recovery-toolset.zip)\ NvFlash tool for getting uid - [https://web.archive.org/web/20160318...ools-win32.zip](https://web.archive.org/web/20160318173203if_/http://www.androidroot.mobi/download/nvflash-tools-win32.zip)
