Ideally you just plug in the phone and back up your photos.

Profiles are weird, you "can only select them once at startup".

The whole process gives you zero feedback, and fails much more than succeeds.

MAKE SURE your phone remains unlocked during the entire process of plugging it in and scanning it.
