2. Backup all files on your device
3. Install Part1.CAB then Soft Reset
4. Install Part2.CAB DONT Soft Reset (press cancel after it is installed --> then go to the next step)

6. Once you have completed this procedure you will permanently lose (well until you HR) the default 2G big-button dialer on your PPC

You should feel like you have done a lot of research before you actually upgrade. It is very easy to ruin your device if this is not done properly. If anything goes wrong, it is your own fault.

Basically you need to do the following:

1. Download all required files
2. Ensure you have the HardSPL bootloader on your device
3. Flash the Black ROM
4. Enjoy your faster, better, blacker firmware
