Some slightly different steps from what is described on the xda site, with some issues i came across.

Total execution needed to upgrade your phone and fully restore everything was 1 and 1/2 hours, of course you can do it faster depending on the number of apps you want to reinstall.

- Make any backups you want either settings or applications you might need. Contacts, sms, call logs ets.. there are many programs on the market.

- Install a clear M8 rom from

but be careful to get a proper CSC file, so that after the installation you get no errors during first reboot in CSC.

You can get the CSC from

(in my case i use CSC_I9000OXXJM1.rar for Greece.)

- After the installation of default M8 make a factory reset

- Set phone language and time/location, i always remove the Automatic Sync of the accounts, inside the Sync menu in the settings. (remove the second link)

- Copy the Tayutama Lite or Normal file into /sdcard as undate.zip, go into recovery mode and select the update.zip to be applied. After that do not reset the phone, unless you you are willing to go through all the above steps again till this point.

- First thing I did then was to open KIES and sync with my outlook all the contacts.

(cause when I tried to sync my contact with SIM card and google account enabled, my contacts were copied to phone as Google contacts and not normal phone contacts)

- Then I inserted the SIM and SDcard, then entered my google account.

- Downloaded the OCLF v2.0 first, did the fix in all space of 1.500 MB. I did a test with quadrant before 913 and after 2269.
 
- Installed Appbrain and then let it sync the app list, had to press Perform installs and then all my apps were installed over the wifi within a few minutes.

And that's all.
