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.
The reason why people do this to their phones is for it to be able to have custom applications or programs to be installed or for it to be able to use a different carrier. Flashing should be done carefully because it might cause damage and inaccessibility of the phone if done casually without even following proper instructions. Follow them in order to prevent damage.
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 the files you have downloaded and read the instructions carefully and make sure you understood them before carrying on with the procedure. The process will take around fifteen to twenty minutes to finish. Each device has a different setup, so it is quite impossible to provide detailed instructions, but these are just some 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.
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.
