Basically, there are two kinds of Flashing. The Partial and Full Flash. The Full one is basically rewriting structure and memory of the OS or operating system for the phone into a flashable ROM or Read Only Memory. The Partial is basic reprogramming in order to handle another 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.
Flashing can either be done by a professional or a non pro but has adequate knowledge. Most likely a person who has done enough research and trials will be able to perform this task properly. If you do not want to incidentally delete all of the files and also the OS of your phone, it is advised to seek help from those who are well informed in the topic. It might end up with just a brick which is completely unusable.
Flashing is done because some users want their phones to transfer into a different carrier while not having to resort in buying a new one, and also for better customization of apps and the OS, too. Although the advantage is great, this should not be done casually. Follow the instructions to lessen the possibility of a failure.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
