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.
Every model has its own specific instructions for flashing. In regards to flash files for Nokia smartphones and others, there are downloads that are available that you can access online. Each of them can be searched and looked up.
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 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 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.
The drivers of the device should be updated. Contact the provider in order to make sure of this. You also need to select which kind of flashing you will be doing, either with a full or a partial, since the program will prompt this. The program also should be able to detect the phone and read the details of it, then with the unlock codes of the carrier you need to input them as well.
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.
