Cherry Mobile finally unveiled a new super affordable Jelly Bean device that aims to give all Pinoy access to an android tablet. For just Php2,990, it’s surely a great way to invite all doubtful people to try out this tab as it’s really cheap.
Cherry Mobile promotes this new device via the hashtag #theONE. With such a low price, we could probably expect a not so impressive set of specifications. The Cherry Mobile Fusion Air sports a 7-inch 5-point multitouch display but there’s mention of the resolution yet. We expect it to be WVGA though.
The Fusion Air will be powered by a 1GHz single core processor and it’s paired with a Mali-400 GPU and 512MB of RAM. The overall configuration isn’t really that bad, but if you have some extra money in your pocket, I honestly think it’s best to get the Cherry Mobile Fusion Bolt instead. You can check out our review here.
Warning: Do it on your own risk. I will not be held responsible on any damage done to your device.
Then here are the steps in Unlocking our Huawei Modems:
1. Make a backup first of your NVitem using QPST.
You must do it first
before doing any flashing to your Huawei Modems to have a backup that
we are also needed to restore in our device after doing the flashing.
2. The next step, we are going to downgrade the firmware using the Huawei Flasher. Make sure you have already a backup of your NVitems before doing the flashing.
Plug your modem to the PC, then if the dashboard appears, close it.
Run the Huawei Flasher (no need to install). This application needs an internet connection for the flasher to work.
Look if the port of your modem is detected,
Click “Select Firmware” and point on Download Firmware, it must 6246_K on what you can see in the image below.
uncheck the bin number 6 (it must be unchecked so that no error will appear while flashing)
Click “Flash Modem” then “Normal Mode” then a popup will appear and ask you “Press OK if modem is connected” wait 10 sec before you press the “OK”. When you have done pressing the OK, the bin will start to loading except bin 6 because we have unchecked it.
Just leave it there until it finished, it takes several time to
finished the bin number 8. It will have an error in the end of the Bn
number 8 but it is just OK, just re-plug your Huawei Modem with other
SimCard. Don’t open yet your dashboard because we are not yet finish, we
will do a restore from our backup that we made in the first step in
this tutorial.
3. Restore NVitems – if you don’t do this, the unlocking process that
you did is not successfull and the worst, you will lost your IMEI. (A
must)
Re-insert or re-plugged your huawei Modem and use the QPST to restore your NVitems that we have back up. Browse the location in which you have saved your backup.
After you have restore your NVitems, re insert your Huawei modem with other SIMCard.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 release date rumors are pointing to a new camera and home button for the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6.
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S rumors say the next generation iPhones will likely be launched during the autumn and summer, respectively. The Apple iPhone rumors say the iPhone 5S will start taking orders on June 20th and ship out in July.
Very few solid rumors regarding the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 have surfaced at this time. Apple is expected to upgrade to iOS 7 and add a faster processor, improved retina display, NFC support, 4G, 802.11ac wireless networking, and potentially a low-cost version of its popular iPhone line. Apple iPhone 6 and 5S rumors also say the iPhone 5S will incorporate fingerprint detection security measures since Apple purchased Authentec.
One thing known for certain is that the iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 will feature iOS 7, which has an interface and new apps design described as ”black, white, and flat.” It’s been suggested there could be three variants of the new iPhones, nicknamed the iPhone 6 Mini, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 XL. The Apple iPhone trade-in program will also allow Apple fans to upgrade their current iPhone to the iPhone 5S or iPhone 6.
But iPhone 5S rumors showing components pictures have leaked out and they showcase improved cameras and a new iPhone home button using a capacitive touch area. The newer front-facing camera is expected to be at least 2 megapixels. A dual head vibration motor points to improved reactive feedback for the iPhone 5S.
Will you be buying an Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 6?

As bumpy and controversial the ride may have been, the HTC One, a make-or-break smartphone for the Taiwan-based phone maker, has nonetheless reached Philippine shores. Officially (official), that is, following a not-just-for-media unveiling at one of Bonifacio Global City's swankiest addresses.
HTC's breadwinner is obviously no stranger to Android enthusiasts, largely because of its Apple-inspired, machined-aluminum housing. Of course, it helps that the One is widely regarded as the most beautiful and finely crafted unibody Android handset.
Its insides are downright desirable, too, boasting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset armed with a 1.7GHz quad-core processor; Adreno 320 graphics; and 2GB of RAM. At 32GB, internal storage should be plenty. However, take note that the HTC One does not carry microSD expansion.
HTC One
The screen measures 4.7 inches diagonally and uses an improved iteration of IPS-LCD technology. As is customary for signature phones, it is smothered by a sheet of scratch-resistant cover glass. Better still, it boasts 1080p resolution, resulting in the most pixel-dense panel (469ppi) we've laid eyes on.
Also on tap are the following: Android Jelly Bean, albeit hardly recognizable courtesy of HTC's Sense UI; 4- and 2.1-megapixel rear and front cameras; WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth, and NFC modules; and Beats-enhanced front-facing integrated speakers.
The phone is powered by a 2,300mAh lithium-polymer battery, so it likely has enough juice to get you through a full day with normal usage.
The high-end HTC One will fetch an equally premium price of P32,990—P2,000 more than its fiercest Android flagship rival, Samsung's Galaxy S4, might we add—and is slated to go on sale on May 24.
HTC One specs:
LTE
Qualcomm APQ8064T Snapdragon 600 chipset
Quad-core 1.7 GHz Krait 300 CPU
Adreno 320 GPU
2GB RAM
32/64GB internal storage
No memory-card slot
4.7-inch Super LCD3 capacitive touchscreen with 1080 x 1920 pixels, 469ppi pixel density, and Corning Gorilla Glass 2
4-megapixel ("ultrapixel" in marketing speak) main camera with auto-focus and LED flash
2.1-megapixel secondary camera that can shoot HD videos at 30fps, has HDR

ASUS Fonepad at a glance:
*Price: P14,995 *micro-SIM card slot for voice calls and SMS *1.6GHz Intel Atom Z2420 single-core processor with Intel Hyper-Threading technology *PowerVR SGX540 GPU *1GB RAM *32GB internal storage *microSD expansion (up to 32GB) *7-inch IPS-LCD display (1,280 x 800 resolution; 216ppi pixel density; 10-point multi-touch input) *3-megapixel rear camera *1.2-megapixel front camera *4,270mAh battery *WiFi, 3G, Bluetooth 3.0 radios *Dimensions: 196.6 x 120.1 x 10.4mm *340 grams *Android Jelly Bean (version 4.1.2)
ASUS Fonepad
Next to smartphones, tablets—iPads and Android-based 7- to 8-inchers, in particular—are the rage these days. And why not? The tablet segment has become one of the darlings of mobile computing, with more major manufacturers trying to bridge the divide between laptops and tablets with hybrid devices. However, one thing most tablets lack is telephony—you know, voice-calling and text-messaging capabilities.
ASUS sees a burgeoning niche in the Philippines, where consumers are keen on using their tablet/phone mash-ups as phones, and so here we have the Intel-powered ASUS Fonepad. The 7-inch device is capable of doing what many people clamor for: running apps, browsing the Web, and watching videos, with the option of making calls and sending messages on a larger-than-smartphone form factor.
The Fonepad comes with a pretty reasonable P14,995 price tag and should be available in stores nationwide in "champagne gold" and "titanium gray" color schemes starting next week. Is it worth your consideration?
Our only gripe at this point is that it requires considerably more effort to slide out, especially on the first few tries. Then again, you'll hardly find yourself struggling to push the cover out, granted you're not keen on switching between carriers and memory cards.
A comparison of dimensions between the ASUS Fonepad and the ASUS-made Nexus 7 reveals that the two are nearly identical in size and weight, with the former being slightly shorter (196.4mm versus the Nexus 7's 198.5mm). Consequently, the Fonepad lends well to single-handed use despite its chunky bezels and thick, beveled sides.
Of course, its unnecessarily bloated hardware may be a sticking point for some, although products on the pudgy side are a norm in the Android scene.
Display
The ASUS Fonepad's IPS-LCD panel measures 7 inches diagonally, and its resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels on a 16:10 aspect ratio is on a par with what we've seen on the Google Nexus 7.
The resulting pixel density is 216ppi, and the clarity showcased here is enough to provide a decent movie watching experience. Photos and websites, likewise, boast natural and vivid colors, except that in some cases, blues seem to stand out more than other hues.
The 10-point multi-touch screen is covered by toughened, albeit reflective, glass, which is largely to blame for the Fonepad's modest sunlight legibility. That said, if you plan on using this hybrid for long stretches of time outdoors, make sure to do so where there's a lot of shade. However, viewing angles shouldn't be an issue because the screen offers decent views from most angles.
Should you feel that a bit of display tweaking is in order, you'd be pleased to know that ASUS bundles the Fonepad with Splendid. The app allows you to adjust saturation, hue, and color temperature, depending on your preference. There's also the so-called Vivid mode, which automatically boosts colors based on an ASUS-optimized profile, so no input is required.
Specs and performance
As already mentioned, the Fonepad wields an Intel SoC [system on chip], which is currently not the popular choice among chief players in the mobile world. And there's totally nothing wrong with that, as we'd soon find out. This ASUS is the first Intel Atom device we've thoroughly tested, and it does not disappoint.
The Intel Atom Z-Series silicon inside this gear is single-core, with a clock rate of 1.6GHz and Hyper-Threading technology, which enables the CPU core to perform two tasks simultaneously.
There's Imagination Technologies' PowerVR SGX540 graphics, 1GB of RAM, and a generous 32GB of storage onboard, which you can augment via microSD expansion for an extra 32GB of space, bringing the total to 64GB. Unsurprisingly, the tablet packs WiFi, 3G, and Bluetooth 3.0 radios as well.
Another highlight: The ASUS Fonepad has a Glonass-capable aGPS receiver, allowing for improved satellite signal detection and more precise tracking. We fired up Google Maps with GPS on and found that Glonass indeed delivers on its promises. The phone/tablet had no problems figuring out where we are, accurately at that, even indoors.
Hardware performance, for the most part, is top-notch. The Fonepad's Intel chip really shines in daily operation simply because almost everything happens rather quickly. For example, scrolling is noticeably silky-smooth, and transitions and animations occur with minimal hesitation. There's also a lag-free experience when flicking between home screens and jumping in and out of apps.
All these coming from a single-core SoC makes it all the more impressive.
With an aging PowerVR SGX 540 GPU in tow, it's expected that this Taiwan-bred tab-phone would deliver a modest gaming experience, and as such, casual games—the Temple Runs and Angry Birds of the Play store—should behave without jerks and stutters. In contrast, more graphically taxing titles like Dungeon Hunter 4 and Shadow Gun: Deadzone 2.0 will give the device a hard time.
It's worth pointing out that the ASUS Fonepad runs a moderately skinned Android Jelly Bean overlay that's mostly clean and pleasing to look at. Better yet, the cosmetic changes don't seem to have a negative effect on the user experience. In other words, ASUS' take on Jelly Bean doesn't slow down the machine a bit, something we can't say about many Android-based UIs we've come across.
Running benchmark tests resulted in mixed scores, as shown below. Vellamo Mobile, which evaluates browser performance, among other things, recurrently crashed on us, possibly because of incompatibilities with Intel's Atom architecture.
The ASUS Fonepad has a pair of cameras which are capable of video recording. One feels more obligatory than the other, though, meaning you probably won't use it much. The 1.2-megapixel front-facer is fine for selfies in bright sunlight and video chats, and nothing more, as images taken with the front cam have middling sharpness and colors.
The 3-megapixel rear shooter, in spite of its slightly great megapixel count, is far worse in comparison. We'll let the photos do the talking from here, which should only help to drive our points further home. Needless to say, photography is one of the Fonepad's compromises.
Call quality is excellent on both ends. Voice calls with or without a Bluetooth headset came out fairly loud. We didn't experience dropped calls during testing, too. One thing to note about the retail package, though: Oddly, and in a negative sense, the call-capable Fonepad does not come with its own headset.
ASUS' phone-tablet hybrid packs a 4,270mAh lithium-polymer battery, which is hardly standard fare for 7-inchers. It's quite nice, actually, topping out at about one and a half days of normal use. With power-saving mode on and 3G networks sparingly used, runtime could easily be extended for up to two full days.
In our looped-video battery-endurance test, the ASUS Fonepad averaged close to 10 hours---about an hour longer than the official video playback time for the device. That's at half brightness, with WiFi and app syncing on.
Verdict
So, what's our verdict? Well, if you've been keeping pace with us, you already know that the ASUS Fonepad is impressive. And it's not surprising; after all, ASUS is largely responsible for the value-for-money Google Nexus 7.
Because of its tempting tag price, finely crafted aluminum housing, and Hyper-Threading Intel processor which somehow manages to exceed expectations (and ultimately redefine our perception of single-core computing), this phone-tablet hybrid has earned our strong recommendation.
There are only two major drawbacks to the device. First, both cameras are subpar—even for tablets—lacking brightness, focus, and all the other good stuff quality shots are made of. Second, its gaming performance leaves a bit to be desired, as evidenced by the sluggish gameplay of some high-end games we've tested.
Again, this is to be expected on a device sporting an aging PowerVR SGX 540 graphics chip. But given that there aren't any similar nice tablets that can make calls and send/receive texts in this price range, it's easier to forgive the Fonepad's shortcomings.
All told, the ASUS Fonepad is a fantastic package. Make no mistake: it's a serious contender that should please would-be tablet, smartphone, and tab-phone shoppers alike.
Thanks to iFaith you can downgrade iOS 6.1.3 without SHSH blobs to
5.1.1 or with locally saved blobs by Tinyumbrella to 6.1.2. As for me I
don’t have blobs from TinyUmbrella so I used that iFaith gave me.
Last time I wrote about how to dump SHSH blobs and create custom
firmware using iFaith. But here is a little different method and I tried
it myself on 3GS.
I know that iOS 5.1.1 is not 6.1.2 / 6.0 but you can have untethered
jailbreak with Absinthe 2.x tool to enjoy your favored tweaks and go
back iOS 6.1.3 after known hackers will release new tool for this
version.
Requirenments
iFaith 1.5.6
iReb r7
iOS 5.1.1 / 6.1.2 firmware (optional)
Saved SHSH blobs with TinyUmbrella (only for downgrade to iOS 6.1.2)
iPhone 3GS (but you can try it other supported devices)
iTunes, better the latest.
If
you will try to use Cydia SHSH blobs for iOS 6.1.2 you will stuck in
Soft DFU mode after Shift / Restore in iTunes. You need to fix this
issue because during restore iPhone to custom firmware you will receive 1600 /1/2/3/4 error and iReb won’t help. How to Fix Soft DFU Mode
1. The first thing that you
should do is to hold two iPhone buttons (Home and Power) 10-30 seconds.
Release Home button and then Power. If this doesn’t help you can try the
second method that worked for me. 2. Do a “clean” restore in
iTunes without Shift and other additional actions. Only after you will
restore iPhone to the newest firmware again because you can downgrade
iOS 6.1.3 to 5.1.1 here below. Attention: this guide is only for factory unlocked iPhone. If your unlock doesn’t depend on baseband you can follow this guide. If not, unlock iOS 6.1.3 iPhone first and then you can look for untethered jailbreak. Use iFaith Signed IPSW for iOS 6.1.3 Downgrading to 5.1.1 on iPhone 3GS
Step 1. First download iFaith 1.5.6 and unzip it. Step 2. Run iFaith as administrator. Click “Show Available SHSH Caches on Server” and connect your iPhone 3GS to PC using USB. Step 3. After the program
detects your device choose the blobs you need. In my case I choose for
iOS 5.1.1 because iFaith gives error if you choose for 6.1.2. Step 4. Download selected blobs. Step 5. Now go to the main
menu and choose “Build *signed* IPSW w/Blobs” and then “Browse for SHSH
Blobs” and choose SHSH file you need. Step 6. Now you can choose or downloaded earlier iOS 5.1.1 firmware on your computer or allow iFaith to do it for you. Step 7. After which iFaith
starts to create iOS 5.1.1 custom firmware for 3GS, so relax and don’t
interrupt the process. This firmware file will be saved on your desktop. Step 8. Turn off your iPhone and download iReb r7. Unzip it, run as administrator. Step 9. Choose your device from the list in iReb and prepare to enter DFU mode. Step 10. After you will see
the message to connect to iTunes, launch this program and holding Shift
click the Restore button. Choose the file saved in step 7 and wait till
the end of the process.
Now you ca see that your iPhone is running iOS 5.1.1 after iOS 6.1.3
downgrading with iFaith. The last thing you need to do is to wait for
new untethered jailbreak for 6.1.3 firmware version.

Nokia's head of smartphone marketing admits that gaps in the app selection are customers' main complaints.
With the launch of its latest flagship device, the Lumia 925, Nokia and Microsoft are continuing to prove that they can compete directly with anything Samsung, Apple or BlackBerry can build in terms of quality, processor speed and performance; however, there is still one area in which the Windows Phone 8 platform, and therefore all device manufacturers using the system, from Nokia to ZTE and HTC cannot match the competition, and that's apps.
So much so that despite Microsoft's best efforts to court the world's biggest tech companies and most respected developers, getting blue-chip apps on its mobile phone platform is still an uphill struggle. At Monday's Nokia Lumia 925 launch in London, Nokia's Global Head of Smartphone marketing, Vesa Jutila, revealed to Engadget that "the biggest complaint is that customers are missing the apps they want," when asked about the relative poverty of its offerings compared with Apple's App Store and Google Play. However, Jutila also claimed that Microsoft and Nokia are working to address the issue.
When the Windows Phone 8 platform launched, Google made it very clear that it had no intentions of building apps for its operating system. Six months after the first Windows Phone 8 devices hit the shelves, the only way to access Google Maps, Google Search or Gmail is via the browser. However, the most notable absence, especially from a range of phones that offer incredible photographic capabilities, is a native Instagram app.
A greater volume of handsets in circulation will help in this respect: the more consumers that buy a Windows smartphone, the more companies will build apps for it. However, at the moment it's a catch-22 situation -- potential customers might be put off making the change to Windows because of the lack of certain apps, and unless more consumers buy Windows phones, the number of blue-chip apps in its store is very unlikely to increase.
According to the latest figures from Gartner, published Tuesday, consumers bought a total of 5.98 million Windows Phone handsets in the first quarter of 2013, (5.1 million of which were Nokia Lumia phones), which represents a 100 percent increase on the last quarter of 2012. Over the same period, 156.1 million Android handsets were sold (74.4% of the global market) and 38.3 million iPhones, giving the premium Apple smartphone an 18.2 percent global share, compared with Microsoft's 2.9 percent.
Still, there is some good news for Nokia Lumia handset owners. The Nokia Smart Camera suite of image effects that were demonstrated alongside the launch of its new European flagship phone, the Lumia 925, will be coming to all existing Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 handsets as part of a sofwarre update. Called the "Nokia Lumia Update" it will start rolling out to handsets in July.

Nokia Philippines just announced the availability of the cheapest Windows Phone 8 smartphone – Nokia Lumia 520. Launched at Mobile World Congress back in February, the Lumia 520 gained a lot of traction towards potential Windows Phone 8 users as it offers an incredibly low price tag despite its fairly good specs.
Nokia Lumia 520
As a refresher, the Nokia Lumia 520 packs a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 512MB of RAM, and an Adreno 305 GPU. It flaunts a decent 4-inch IPS display with WVGA resolution which results to around 235 ppi. It also has 8GB of internal which is easily expandable up to 32GB via a microSD. Other key features are the 5-megapixel autofocus camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, and GPS. The only thing that you might miss here is the lack of front-facing camera but that’s really not an issue to most users.
Nokia offiically announced the new Nokia Asha 501, a touch-based smartphone with a $99 price. It’s the first in its lineup to run a refreshed operating system bearing close resemblance to the canceled MeeGo OS and comes with a 3-inch screen and a 3.2-megapixel rear camera.
The most notable feature is its standby battery life, which the Finnish company guarantees to last an incredible 48 days for the single-SIM configuration. The dual-SIM model, on the other hand, can last as long as 26 days.
Nokia considers the Asha 501 to be a smartphone. However, specs such as 2G connectivity and a less sophisticated operating system might dissuade some people to think of the phone as “smart.” If anything, the Asha 501 should be labeled as a smart feature phone.
Nokia Asha 501
Considered to be another emerging market, the Philippines might just receive its own 501 launch as well in the coming months. In fact, the phone is slated to ship in June in over 90 countries all over the Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. We’ll let you know once it hit our local stores. If converted directly, the Nokia Asha 501 will be priced for around Php4,000 without taxes and subsidies.
The model is the fourth Cherry Mobile device with a quad-core processor after the Fusion Bolt, Flame 2.0, and Fusion Fire. It is now powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 chipset, replacing MediaTek’s MT6577 in its predecessor.
Cherry Mobile SkyFire 2.0 will be available at all Cherry Mobile concept stores, kiosks, and accredited dealers nationwide for P7,999.

Before you begin:
Rooting the phone will void its warranty. So you may have to install the stock firmware to get back your warranty.
Make a backup of all the important data in your phone including contacts, messages and important applications.
Make sure that your phone has more than 50% of battery.
Install all the required Samsung USB drivers required to connect your mobile with PC. I would suggest you to install KIES 2.0 in your PC which will automatically install all the required drivers.
Lastly don’t forget to enable USB debugging option in your phone. For enabling it, go to:
Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
How to Root Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300:
First of all download the rooting package on your computer and transfer it to your SD card by connecting your phone to computer in USB mass storage mode.
Now switch off your phone and remove the battery. Put the battery back again and restart it back again into recovery mode.
For entering into recovery mode, press the Volume Up button, Menu button (center button) and Power key all together simultaneously.
Once you have booted into recovery mode, choose the option “install zip from SD card” and choose the file that we copied in SD card above. You can use volume key to navigate through the available options.
Confirm the installation by pressing yes and wait until the process completes.
Up next, press back key and choose the “reboot system now” option.
That’s it,you have a rooted the Galaxy Pocket in your hand.
To verify that whether your phone is rooted or not, open the app drawer in your phone and look for “super user app”; if it’s there, your phone is rooted. Just in case, if you don’t find any super user app, you may have to repeat the whole process from the very beginning.

After tinkering with your Cherry Mobile Flare, sooner or later you'll be
needing to root your phone for whatever reason. And whether this is
your first time or nth time to this process, you wanna make sure that it
will not make your phone unusable.
This tutorial in rooting your Cherry Mobile Flare is meant to make the
steps as simple and easy as possible that's why I also included a video
showing you how I rooted my own unit. As always, make sure that you
follow steps carefully and don't rush.
DISCLAIMER:Rooting can brick
your phone and will also void its warranty. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'm
not responsible for any possible damage that may happen to your device.
I basically used the same procedures from my previous article on How to Root MyPhone A919 Duo.

Before Rooting:
Download to your computer this Root Tools zip file that contains PdaNet for Windows XP/Vista/7 and Root with Restore by Bin4ry
Unzip the file after download
For Windows 7/8/Vista, after unzipping, right click RunMe
then click on Properties > click the Compatibility tab > check
Compatibility and set it to Windows XP SP3 > Ok
Enable USB debugging on your phone. Go to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging.
Don't connect your phone to the computer until you're told to do so.
Rooting your Cherry Mobile Flare:
On your PC, double click on PdaNetZ350 and continue with the installation until you see a pop-up message like the one below.
Select Others then click OK.
A warning message will appear saying that "Windows can't verify the
publisher of this driver software." Click on "Install this driver
software anyway"
PdaNet will now ask you to connect your device to the computer.
Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable. Don't enable any
modes like USB storage, etc.
Let the driver installation complete then finish.
On your PC again, double click on RunMe.
A command prompt window will pop-up. Press 1 and hit the Enter.
NOTE:
If you want to UNROOT your Cherry Mobile Flare, follow step
6 onward until you reach this point but instead of typing 1, type x then
hit enter and follow the instructions after that.
On your phone, tap “Restore my data”, this will reboot your phone, wait for your phone to be fully ready.
On your computer, the command prompt will require you to press any key to continue.
That's it! You've successfully rooted your Cherry Mobile Flare.

To enter Stock Recovery or CWM:
turn off your Cellphone
press power + vol up till you see red on your screen
On Installing or Flashing from CWM Note:
all the zip files are on your internal memory of your Flare or the sd/sd_card
(to simplify finding the zip files, make a '0' or an 'A' named folder on your internal memory and put all your zip there)
vol down is scroll down
power is select/confirm
vol up is back (on CWM v5)
