For each phone model there is a firmware assigned to it, which ensures the stable operation of the device. Changing the phone software will not introduce new features that are not provided by the hardware, but it can modify existing features, for example, audio playback quality, equalizer, and so on. In order to change the firmware, it is enough to perform a series of actions.
Necessary
- - Date cable
- - Drivers for synchronization
- - Synchronization software
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to synchronize your phone with your computer. To do this, use a data cable, computer drivers and synchronization software. Usually, all of these components are supplied with the phone. Otherwise, use a search engine to find drivers and software. Keep in mind that you can choose software that is suitable for the entire model range of your phone, but the drivers must be specific for your phone model. Use only those components that meet this condition, otherwise this operation may fail. Install drivers and software, then connect your phone to your computer.
Step 2
Prepare your phone for a software update. Make sure that the synchronization software "sees" the phone, and then copy the personal data on the phone - the phone book, messages, as well as photos, audio and video files. This is necessary because in the process of changing the software, all your personal data may be lost. After making sure you copied the files, proceed to the next step.
Step 3
Download the flashing software and the firmware version you need. You can find them using a search engine. It is advisable to use proven or factory firmware, which can be found on the official website of the device manufacturer. An unsuccessful software change operation may damage your phone.
Step 4
Install the programs and then copy the current firmware version to your computer. This is necessary in case of a failure during a software change. Make sure the battery is more than half charged to avoid discharging during the firmware upgrade process. Perform the operation carefully following the instructions. Disconnect your phone from your computer and restart it.
