Thank you

Thanks a lot for the help, i do really appreciate it. However, i just now manged to get it working berfore i saw your post. But this is all helpful for other people too, so if they have the same problem.

In the end, in my case what happened was this:

I gave up on my Win 7 machine and installed the driver to my Win 8 (which in itself offered more problems because u have to restart in troubleshooting mode to install a non-signed driver)..but after installation i had the same problem.. even after installing the driver, it was still connecting/disconnecting every few seconds. So i was about to give up again when i thought about restarting my machine. After restarting, plugging the device in worked and it stayed stable! :) But being that i am an idiot, hehe, i pulled the cable and plugged it back in to see if a second time would stay connected. It didn't :( So i restarted again..and this time it was stable on the first try..so without wanting to push my luck i jumped straight into the flash procedure.

problems weren't over yet...i kept the device manager open so i could keep an eye on the connection. It looks stable, but (not knowing what to expect) the every so often (maybe after a succesful flash) i would see the in the device manager it would switch from COM3 to COM5 and back again over and over (like i say about 5 min gap this time). The procedure was taking a long time..going from 0 to 100% and restarting. So i didn't know if it had flashed, or if each iteration was doing something different. So i let it run...after 1000 seconds, i figure it must be restarting each time.

So i waited for the 100% and it to go green (this is when i hear the USB disconnect, and it switched between COM3 and COM5). So when it got to 100% and i heard the disconnect, i quickly pressed "Stop All" on the flash tool and unplugged my device! before it could start again..

This time my phone starts fine with the battery..but hung on the Beat Audio screen. That got me worried again..but i knew there was another step, so i booted into CWM and installed the "Step 2" zip and hurraaay! This time it booted right into the ICS desktop!! :D It does say about the IMEI thing, so that's my next job. But finally i think it may be ok now.

And I can also confirm so far that the SD card swap and memory tweak has worked...

And i said to Danny i would confirm if it works with my 64GB SD card, and i can say seems ok! I can see my full amount of memory!! :D So if my IMEI fixes ok I think we're rolling!

Any tips for the IMEI..and if i don't fix it i suppose that means no phone calls right?

But a big thanks to jago25_98 for giving me advice to save my skin, and also to Danny for producing what i hope to be an great ROM.

Like Danny, i also have a Sony MW600 set of bluetooth headphones, which works really well with the phone because you don't get the problem with the earphones :)

Hopefully my problems and jago's tips will help other nervous users :)))

Thanks!

Everything seems in order now, IMEI working ok i think.. :good:

Thanks so much.. but please, don't ever make me have to do that again, mommy!!.. hehe.

Actually, it's only cos the phones are so cheap that i had the courage to try :) And good to see a helpful community of X710D users.. I thought i was the only one who had one.. ;)
