  7. A confirmation of this task will be asked of you for the seventh step. You will also be told to have a little bit of patience while the flashing of the custom ROM happens.
  8. As soon as it reaches an end, you need to return to the Recovery Menu of your S Plus I9001 and, when you’ve reached it, be sure to opt for the system restarting option for the final step.
