  4. Next you will have to tap on some keys and then select some files that will open after you click on said buttons. Here are the instructions: tap PDA, opt for a file that contains CODE, then be sure to click on Phone, choose a file with a MODEM part in its name, tap CSC, opt for a file which has CSC in the name, tap PIT and choose a file that comes with a .pit extension.
