When buying a cell phone abroad, there are frequent cases of inability to use the mobile due to the lack of Russian in the settings and on the keyboard. To change the language on your phone, you just need to follow a few simple steps.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to determine your phone model. If you don't know it, you can find its name on the box or under the battery. Use this name to find Russian-language firmware, as well as drivers and software for synchronization. As a rule, they can be found on the official website of the manufacturer. It is necessary that the drivers and software are suitable specifically for your phone model, as well as for the operating system on your computer. Buy a data cable for your mobile model if it is not included in the basic package.
Step 2
Synchronize your phone with your computer. Install drivers and software, then connect the phone to the computer and make sure that the program "sees" the phone. Copy all the personal data on your phone to your computer using the sync software. This is necessary because all your personal data will be lost during synchronization.
Step 3
Using the name of the manufacturer and model of your phone, find the Russian-language firmware on one of the sites dedicated to your model. Find detailed instructions for flashing your phone. Install the software and proceed with the operation.
Step 4
Charge the phone battery until it is fully charged. This is necessary to avoid disconnecting the phone during flashing. Connect your phone to your computer and proceed with the procedure, carefully following the instructions. The phone may turn on and off several times during the operation, do not disconnect or touch it until the operation is completed.
Step 5
When the firmware is complete, disconnect your phone and restart it. Make sure your phone is working properly, then connect it to your computer and copy the personal data you saved earlier to it.
Step 6
Find a Russian language keyboard for your phone. The best option would be to use the original keyboard, since the fake one is more prone to the appearance of such defects as lagging buttons and scuffs. Contact the service center in order to replace the keyboard with the Russian language.
