There are basically two types of Flashing which are Full and Partial Flash. Full means rewriting the memory and structure of the operating system of the smartphone to flashable Read Only Memory or ROM. A Partial Flash is simple reprogramming for the phone in order for it to handle a different carrier.
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.
One of the reasons why flashing is done is for the device to be customized with applications that are not entirely compatible with the original OS and also to transfer to a different carrier which the user no longer has to get a new one. Flashing the device should be carefully executed and not be done casually. Make sure to follow the instructions to prevent any failure and damage.
Determine if it is CDMA or GSM. Code Division Multiple Access phones are flashable unlike Global System for Mobile Communications devices. The difference is that the first is not Subscriber Identity Module capable or basically it cannot hold a SIM card. Another thing to make sure is that it should have a clean Electronic Serial Number where it is not reported lost or stolen.
Use the appropriate USB cord of the device and have it attached to PC to download the most compatible software for the phone. There are a lot of them, so be careful in downloading the right one. Getting the compatible program would lessen the risks in damaging the phone. For the partial, the transfer network should also be CDMA capable.
Uncompress all the files that has been downloaded and carefully read all the necessary instructions while making sure also that you understood each step clearly. This process takes fifteen to almost twenty minutes for it to finish. Each device runs in a different kind of setup, so it is unlikely to provide instructions for each, but here are the general ideas.
Make sure to have the drivers complete and updated or else the flashing would not work. And you need to know what kind of flash you want to have for the phone, either the full or partial one since the software will be asking those. The program should detect the phone so that it can read the full details, then there are unlock codes that you have to provide which is based on the original carrier.
It will prompt you to Write and proceed to flashing your phone. The risks are still possible and you should be wary of them when doing this procedure. Warranty will also be voided, and also make sure to get the ESN from the next carrier.
