Re-flashing the phone: what is it?

In the modern world, a mobile phone plays an important role in the life of each of us. In the age of scientific and technological progress, the production of cellular phones does not stand still, operating systems are updated, new functions appear, and the design itself is important when choosing a new tube. In order to keep up with the novelties, many of us resort to the service of flashing their phone, but not everyone knows what it is.

To refresh the phone means to update its software, install new devices (player, volume control, flash and so on) and add functions, in general make your device more modern and convenient to use. As a rule, the correct flashing of the phone has no minuses, and it can be produced at home on its own.

Before you flash a phone, you need to understand why you need it. Causes of "repair" can be a slow response of the device, frequent hovering, shutting down for no apparent reason and other ailments. The firmware of phones without any obvious reasons also has a place to be. If you want your device to have new functions, it could support trendy flash applications, games and music, it's worth trying to reinstall the software. After the firmware are improved and such parameters as signal reception, volume, brightness of colors. Even the resources of the battery can become significantly higher after the firmware on the phone.

In order to flashing the phone at home, you will need:

1. Directly the phone itself
2. A computer
3. Special data cable
4. Drivers for cable and telephone
5. Current firmware version

Also, before starting work, you need to familiarize yourself with the basics of terminology:

Reflash - used to update the phone's software. All settings of your device are saved.

Flex is the file system used on the mobile device. Here is stored a phone book, all sounds, melodies, pictures, applications and games.

LangPack - this utility contains all fonts, languages supported by the device. If you want to Russify your mobile phone, you will need this package.

FullFlash - this package contains all the above utilities, additions to them (multimedia applications, self-installed programs, etc.).

All the above packages you need, if you are seriously interested in flashing the phone.

Today, there are many companies, companies and individuals engaged in reinstalling the software of mobile phones. Specialists will be able to do this quickly and efficiently, without spending much effort. If you seriously decide to do it yourself, we advise you to make copies of all the software before starting work, and only then start the work safely.

Re-flashing a phone of Chinese origin takes much less time than working on its European or American counterpart. The manufacturer does not consider it necessary to complicate the software itself, and therefore the firmware of phones of this quality will not complicate even the novice programmer.

All the hardware components of each manufacturer are exclusively individual, so if you seem to have an excellent idea to "pour" Nokia's software into the Samsung device, then you are unlikely to turn on your phone after that. Within the same line, similar experiments are allowed, but with a risk to the life of the mobile phone. You can turn Sony Ericssson K750I into Wolkman, but it's definitely impossible to make the phone of the latest generation Galaxy S II from Samsung GT-C3011!

A big advantage of the firmware within one line of mobile phones is that for modest money you can get the latest generation device with all the fashionable functions and programs. But do not be naive to believe that unexpectedly you will have such functions as bluetooth, the highest resolution of the camera and so on, this will not happen. But you probably will be the owner of new themes, wallpapers and games, and the phone itself will be more nimble and hardy.
