Step 5 : If you boot successfully in recovery mode, use your volume button to scroll up and down and to select use power button.

Step 6 : Follow all these simple instructions to get into the software requirement.

Step 8 : Your device will now install and launch the app directly from Recovery mode. In the app, select Menu >> Settings and scroll down to choose the option “Automount all devices on start”. Tap on Done to save the changes. Exit the app to go back to recovery mode.

Step 9 : You need to run Aroma File Manager one more time in Recovery mode. So select the zip file again and choose the Install option. This time, Aroma will launch having access to all the mounted locations.

Step 10 : Go to Data Folder, then select system folder and find the gesture key, if it is locked with the password then long press the file and select delete.
