Firmware is software that ensures the correct operation of the device on which it is installed. Re-flashing the phone may be required if the original one lacks any necessary functions, for example, a language pack, or if the installed firmware is unstable. To flash your phone, you must adhere to several recommendations.
Instructions
Step 1
Synchronize your phone with your computer. In order to synchronize your phone with your computer, you need a data cable, as well as drivers and software for synchronization. An infrared port or bluetooth connection may also work, but they are not suitable for flashing, so a data cable is the best option. Keep in mind that before connecting the phone, you need to install the drivers for the phone model to be synchronized. Software is a program that allows you to perform operations with the contents of the phone. If all these components are not included in the package, buy a data cable, and find the drivers and software using a search engine.
Step 2
Prepare your phone for flashing. Connect your phone to your computer and make sure the software "sees" it. Copy your phone book, messages and all other personal data from your phone to your computer. This is necessary, because when flashing, all personal data can be lost both in case of failure and in case of success of the operation. Make sure that you have completely copied your personal data, and then proceed with the flashing.
Step 3
Depending on the manufacturer and model of the cell phone, the flashing software may vary. Use search engines to find the program and firmware you need. It will be preferable if they are downloaded from the manufacturer's website. Install the program and then copy the current firmware version installed on your phone. It should be remembered that flashing is performed only when the phone battery is fully charged. Reflash the phone, carefully following the instructions of the program for reflashing. Do not disconnect the phone until the flashing is complete.
