WHAT IS
FLASHING ?
In a nutshell, Flashing is the process of installing an operating system on a Mobile phone.
WHEN SHOULD I FLASH MY PHONE?
UPDATE: When an updated firmware is released for your device, for instance, your infinix Hot 3 which runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow by default may get a Naugat update and you wish to upgrade.
VIRUS INFECTION: If your Phone is always downloading files automatically, replicating or corrupting files etc. you may have to consider flashing it.
FORGET SECURITY PASS: Though resetting by entering recovery mode could wipe security data, peradventure it does not work, you may have to resort to flashing the device.
BRICKED: Just like electronic hardware, your smartphone software could also get bad thereby rendering the device useless know as “Soft or Hard Bricked”, In this condition, your phone would not show any sign of booting but don’t worry flashing it with another stock rom could restore it.
BOOT LOOP: This is another booting related error but here the Phone may come up but won't boot beyond the Logo. When you see these signs I have mention don’t Panic just scroll down to learn more…..
