If you buy a phone abroad - buying it in another country or ordering it via the Internet, you may be faced with the need to Russify the firmware. Phone firmware is software that is responsible for the normal functioning of the phone according to the declared characteristics. In order to Russify the firmware, you need to reflash your phone.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you will need to sync your phone with your computer. If your phone does not have a data cable or a driver disc, take care of purchasing them. Buy the data cable you need and download drivers to synchronize your phone with your computer.
Step 2
Install drivers and programs responsible for phone synchronization. Connect your phone to your computer, then make sure the software "sees" your phone.
Step 3
Download the programs you need to flash your phone. In order to Russify the firmware, you will need to erase the data on the phone and install a new one. It can be either the factory firmware, in which the Russian language is in the list of installed ones, or any other that is suitable for your phone model.
Step 4
Follow the instructions for using the flashing software carefully. Do not disconnect the phone until the operation is complete. Upon completion of this action, restart the phone and select Russian as the main language, if required.
