This can be tricky, it took me a while to get it down. Hold down the volume-down button and tap the power button. Keep holding down the volume-down button until you see the yellow download mode logo.

It's seems to be easier to power off, pull the battery out, plug into usb and do the above.

yeah it worked lol the instructions say to hold down the power button to not just tap it on that was my problem guess we all have our blonde moments me more than others

lost root access and was not able to root the device after installing this rom even using the super one click program problem with usb debugging on the debugging icon would dissapear in the middle of root process and the program could not find the phone after that but if you dont need your device rooted this rom is very nice faster and cleaner than 2.2 phone is shipped with new features were great

Anyone know how to revive a dead indulge? As a result of testing a tar technoracoon made the one donated to the cause wont do jack, no lights no nadda, :(

I've seen a video on how to revive super bricked phones that won't even turn on. Look up mobile tech videos on youtube. It seems like a big process. The guy takes apart the phone and has to hook up wires to some thingamajig. I don't think your going to like what you see...or maybe your already aware of the process...but if not check it out.

Weird, I figured it would work. CWM wont work for sure.
then again it is GB and the SuperOneClick is now updated for ''all'' Samsung GB devices.

Amazing. Minor bugs but nothing too serious that would make me complain to cricket or huawei. It lacks 1 or 2 things that were released under the Honor for ex. the DLNA. Definitely recommend to go see it in person at the closest Cricket store. Over all its probably the best phone i have ever had so far, now if it only had 4G....

since cricket runs off of verizon towers 4glte is coming soon to cricket rumors have the first 4g handsets on the market during the second quarter of 2012

The usb problem is intermittent. I can get a good usb connection most of the time. If usb starts acting up, pull out the battery and start over. It usually clears out the problem. If you wait for a good usb connection you will be able to root. I didn't have a problem rooting my on first try.

Other than the usb issue this GB rom is running great. All my apps are loading up faster and running better. I have lost no functionality, except CWM. In fact apps I couldn't run (like the heavy game ShadowGun) run good.

I'vealso noticed an improved battery life, more free memory, and a stronger signal strength.

Cricket runs off of Sprints towers not Verizon. Sprint is switching to LTE as well.
I doubt Cricket will sell any 4G phones this year seeing that they are still testing it but with wifi modem(?).

Yeah I tried taking the batter out and doing it agan Butt never stayed connected during the root process program kept loosing connection with the phone I even flashed the rom again didn't work so I just went into recovery and did a master reset to factory rom I may mess with it some more after I get my mercury in a few days
