  2. Went wrong.

    Tried it on my x10 mini pro, but it failed.
    It doesn’t start anymore, stays at SE white screen and I can’t even enter xrecovery menu anymore.

    What do I do?!

    🙁

    • i know what is ur problem,, to enter recovery menu, keep pressing back arrow key,, or press power and back arrow key together and hold untill u enter in recovery… NOTE: don’t press repeatly as you done before,,, keep hold the buttons instead of repeatly pressing!!!

  3. Terrible tutorial. Hyperlinks are wrong and just repeats of previously linked sites, and steps are vague.
