As a first step, you need to boot into the bootloader. A bootloader is the piece of software,
15+
that tells your phone how to start and run an operating system (like Android). Your device should be turned on.
16+
Then press 'Confirm and run' to reboot into the bootloader. Continue once it's done.

Unplug the USB cable from your device. Then manually reboot into recovery by pressing the *Volume Down* + *Power buttons* for 8~10 seconds
27+
until the screen turns black & release the buttons immediately when it does, then boot to recovery with the device powered off,
28+
hold *Volume Up* + *Home* + *Power button*.
