PS : The phone will reboot a couple of times during this process,this is normal.After the flashing process is complete,the phone will boot up to the welcome screen,where you will then need to set it up again e.g. date/screen alignment etc,
BUT do not do anything yet,just leave it for a minute or two,because it will install the optimized GPS/CPU/Optical track pad drivers and will reboot automatically when done.Once it has rebooted and displays the welcome screen again,then you may configure it.
