Enjoy flashing!

For best results suggest follow the flashing instructions included on the compressed file.

- Full battery charge before flashing (until you get the green led)

- Use Task29 first (this will format your internal memory) take battery out and go into bootloader again.

- Use task 28 to flash the rom.

- Hard reset is recommended just after first boot (remove battery, place it again and press vol up + vol down + power).

Special thanks to the XDA forum and to following developers:

- Ultrashot (virtual mem, utask, vol control, etc.)
