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.
For different brands and models, they would have specific ways in accomplishing this. In terms flash files for Nokia devices and other different phones, you need to download these in order to have the flashing for your phone. Every model can be looked up online for their respective downloadable files.
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.
Determining between CDMA and GSM is a step in finding out if the device is flashable or not. The first one is, which means Code Division Multiple Access which have a sort of hard wired number on the device itself unlike Global Systems for Mobile Communications. These ones have Subscriber Identity Module cards and cannot be flashed at all. Something else you need to know is the Electronic Serial Number to make sure that the device is labeled as not lost or stolen.
Use the USB cord and attach it to the PC and then download a compatible flashing software. There are tons of them which can also be free as well as making sure that you got the right one. Search properly so you could lessen the risk in damaging it with an incompatible program. Doing a Partial, you need to make sure that the next carrier is also in a CDMA network.
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 last step would be for the program to ask you to Write or proceed to it. The lesser you know the higher the risk in damaging the phone, so it is best to keep yourself informed or hire a professional, or ask a friend who has done this several times already. Also by doing this, the warranty will be gone and to make sure of last things, get the ESN for the next carrier as well.
