  6. Connect the phone to PC via USB. 
  7. Start the included odin software, check PDA and choose the recovery-cwm-hercules.tar.

  10. Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad
    and tested to see if it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
