READ ALL THE GUIDE BEFORE STARTING DEBRICKING AND UNDERSTAND ALL STEPS!

Ok, you should have all files needed to start debricking.

entering diags mode and using a RUNME.sh file to fix the problem.

N.B Check the last page for some more images!

N.B It should be totally clear that:

- main kernel version MUST MATCH main partition version

- diags kernel version MUST MATCH diags partition version

- main partition doesnt necessary have the same version of diags partition
