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.
A professional or even a non professional but with adequate knowledge can do this procedure. The non pro usually has done the right research and experiments in order to perform this process properly. This process has a risk for the memory to be deleted as well as the OS, so it is best to get help from the right people. You might get a piece of brick instead.
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.
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 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.
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.
