First of all you will need tosolder all the component acording to the atached schematic. After you did that you can move to step 2.

Pull out the battery from the phone and focus your atention to the funky looking hole to the left. Inside it there are four gold contacts. We will need only two of them. Te ground and MBUS. Solder the coresponding wires from the circuit you made at step one to the gold pads. I soldered a flex cable from a old DVD drive in order to have a neat removable connection. Now you can proceed to step 3.

Now turn on your phone and connect it to the serial port of your computer, and start the instalation of the program. If you didn't connect the phone before starting the installer your phone will not be detected. Don't forget to register it using the REG file included. The guy that uploaded the software to archive.org was so kind that it included in the package a lot of operator logos including custom and oficial.

Let me know if you did that.
