    Hallo allemaal,

    Ik heb deze video gevolgd en heb de update voltooid. Maar op het einde kan mijn gsm niet opstarten. In de video was er op het einde een blauwe scherm en werkte op het einde. Bij me is er op het einde ook een blauwe scherm, en dan stop het dan. Ik weet niet wat ik moet doen. Kan iemand me helpen alsjeblieft.

    MVG,,,
