Important instructions

2. After the products are connected accordingly, what is expected of you comes in the form of step two: move the Android 4.2.1 ROM file to the phone’s SD card (as always, the file must be placed into the root of the memory card instead of in another location altogether). Switch the U8860 off, turn it on back again while simultaneously select and keep pressed the buttons for Power and Volume Up; the idea is to get the smartphone into Recovery mode and that’s the way to achieve it.
