Unplug your phone, and plug it back in, you will need to allow access to your phone data, and allow the RSA key fingerprint (steps 4.3 and 4.4) |

| Step 7: The script will attempt to push the tiles to your device. You should be able to pull down your menu now, and verify if your phone now has the tiles added. If you have more tiles than can fit on the screen, you may need to scroll to the right in order to see them. If they appear, answer "y" and the script will exit. If they don't appear, answer "n" to this question. | Step 7.1 (Manual Mode): If the tiles didn't appear, and you answer "n" to the previous question, the script will undo what it tried to do, jump into Manual Mode, and tell you the commands to enter. Pay close attention to the instructions and the commands the scripts tell you to enter. It is important that you not make a mistake. If you do, you can answer "n" when you exit, and then press "x" to quit the script with your previous tiles. |
