Guide In Flash Files For Nokia Phones

By Estelle Larsen


There are two kinds of Flashing. Basically, it is just Full and Partial where Full does a whole rewrite to the Operating System and overall structure of the phone to turn into a flashable ROM, or known as Read Only Memory. While the Partial transfer the carrier of the phone to another one through basic reprogramming.

There are different ways to do this for various models and brands of smartphones. So basically, there are flash files for Nokia phones and also from others that you need to download in order to proceed with flashing it. You can look up each model online and have the appropriate files downloaded.

Even a non pro can do this task that mostly professionals are only able to do. As long as they have enough skills and knowledge on this procedure. This is a risky process which can possibly have the memory of the phone be deleted or the OS to be erased, too. The best advice is to have it done by someone who knows how to do this well.

The reason why people do this to their phones is for it to be able to have custom applications or programs to be installed or for it to be able to use a different carrier. Flashing should be done carefully because it might cause damage and inaccessibility of the phone if done casually without even following proper instructions. Follow them in order to prevent damage.

The device needs to be determined if it's a CDMA or a GSM. Code Division Multiple Access are phones that are flashable while the Global System for Mobile Communications have Subscriber Identity Module or SIM cards. The ones without the cards can be flashed. Also, make sure to know the ESN or Electronic Serial Number to secure that it is not a stolen or lost.

Use a USB cord to attach the device to the PC and download the software which is compatible with the specific model. You can find these online and you need to make sure it is the right one in order to prevent the risk of having it damaged because of incompatibility issues. The partial needs to have a CDMA network as the transfer carrier as well.

Uncompress the downloaded files and read the instructions that are inside it. Make sure to read them carefully to prevent failure. The process will take fifteen to about twenty minutes. While each device is running on different setups, it is impossible to give details on each one, so here are general ideas you can follow.

Update the drivers of the phone and have it checked by the provider and know what you want to do for the phone which is either the Partial or Full Flash since the program will be prompting you with this. Get the MEID and ESN from the labels underneath the battery. The software should also be able to detect the phone allowing it to read it, then provide the unlock codes depending on the carrier.

The program will ask you if you want to Write it, or basically it is just asking for you to continue or finish the process. You need to learn further about this procedure and every phone is different. Either you can ask a pro or if you have a friend that knows how to do this. Take note that the warranty from the previous carrier will be gone and you need to acquire the ESN of the next carrier.
