    Hi pjovp, I will need a bit of good luck! I think I will have to just take my loss. Next phone will certainly come from mainland Europe (Looking at a Moto G as replacement) Greetz, Sjonnie

    Hi pjovp, I have no idea :s Little question: can I run SP Flash Tool on a virtualised version of Windows? I have Windows 8 in Virtualbox on a Linux host. Would be great if I could use that without risk. Greetz, Sjonnie

    Need step by step how to install Multi Language ROM with Google support

    Hi honu, Tx for your reply. The problem is that I can install all I want (TWRP, CWM) but when I reboot I don't get to the recovery. Seems like installing recovery fails or does not work. What other ways (other than the ones I have already tried) are there to install the recovery? Greetz...
