MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE USER FIRMWARE AS A BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(we do not think we have to explane to you how to get the firmware
and how to upload it in the set in case of a crash if we have to do
that please do not start this procedure at all.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Oke let's go to step 2.
main way (frame) to do the job, only the main things are mentioned and
