PREPARATION

1. Download the firmware and extract it to desktop. Here is the list of firmwares and download links :

2. Downlaoad Multiloader [glow=green,2,300]5.62[/glow]. Here is the download link -

3. Type *#7465625# and check if you have sim lock. [glow=red,2,300]If you have a lock, please get it unlocked. Don't flash if it's locked.[/glow]

4. [glow=red,2,300]If you have a branded firmware (like orange), do not flash with any firmware !![/glow]. If you want to flash, please ask for a firmware in the forum.

5. [glow=red,2,300]Make sure you have enough battery[/glow]. Flashing drains battery pretty fast and if it goes of in middle of flashing, you're screwed !

6. Make a backup of your data from your phone memory. [glow=red,2,300]You will lose data after flashing[/glow].

7. [glow=red,2,300]Remove your SIM and Memory Card.[/glow]

8. Names of the files and folders may differ per firmware or source. It is advised to choose files by looking on extensions rather than the names
