Instructions

3. [Important] Download and Unzip the SBF file to your desktop, or storage folder.
4. After all the above steps are complete, restart your computer.

6. Close RSDLite.
7. Remove battery from phone, and put the battery back in. Press and hold the Camera button, the Volume Down button, and then the Power button all at the exact same time. The screen will flash and boot the bootloader. Leave device on this screen!
8. Plug in your USB cord that came with the device, and then plug it into the computer via a USB slot that is attached to the motherboard, NOT a USB extender hub.
9. Allow your Operating System to install any further drivers before continuing.

12. Click on your device in the Port 1 window below.
13. Click start and wait. This part will take about 10-15 minutes to reflash the ROM on your phone. Once the device boots for the first time RSDLite will tell you to manually boot it even though its at 100%. You can ignore that message and close RSDLite at this point.
14. After your device reboots, turn it off.
15. [Important] Press and hold Home and Power buttons at the same time to boot into recovery mode. Follow the on screen steps to wipe and format the device again. May take 5-10 minutes.
