I don't have a Hanvon, but my reading of the instructions is in bold:
Download flashimage firmware and unpack it. On Windows PC, it contains Windows programs.
How to flash:
1. Connect the device via USB. The N516 should be turned off at this point.
2. Push the 'Rotate' button and power on the device. Hold Rotate button and Power button at the same time.
3. New device will appear in your system, point to this directory for driver. Windows should detect a USB device of unknown type and ask you for a driver.
4. Run USB_Boot.exe Double click on USB_Boot.exe

I think this means that Step 2. (above) did not work, because the two USB devices are presumably the ones you get for a standard USB connection. You are trying to setup a reboot USB connection instead.
This procedure is different from that used by most EInk readers, because the reflash is being controlled from a Windows PC (rather than from the stand-alone device). This means that the new image and the reflash software is on the PC, not the device. My old Nokia 770 Internet Tablet works this way too, so it may not be that unusual for handheld devices.
