==General Info==
+
==Development==
+
===Bootloader, firmware updates and wipe===
+
To get to the bootloader, hold down the Volume - button while powering up the phone. From here you can either directly factory reset (Option 2) or go to the advanced boot loader menu (Option 1).
+
Use the Volume + and - buttons to select the option that you want and use the power button to enter.
+
When going to option 1 you get the follwing options:
+
Apply update from external storage. Use this option when you download a new firmware file. Put it anywhere on a SD card and it will find it and present you the option to install the zip file.
+
Apply update from cache is the way to go if you don't have a micro sd card. However it means you have to download the firmware file to the phone's internal memory and have the necessary free space.
+
 
+
===Getting root access===
