Notes; 1. Back up "NAND", press "Start" button (Power Button). 2. 1-2 minutes will have have some text load, then the screen will blink with distorted dots & green...happen to me, no issue afterwards. 3. Have issue with WiFi connecting to the internet? It's actually your router security, better getting an Lan adapter but if you have a older router or wifi extender then connect to that (which I did, cause my main router have loads of security options I don't wanna mess with).

The part at @3:45? This should be simple cause it's only creating folders and installing files. So if you're having an error I'd imagine it's not communicating with the SD card? 1.
