What is a firmware update

This refers to the process of upgrading/flashing the default firmware on your Android device. For example, you install marshmallow update firmware; installing this to your mobile will upgrade its Android version from lollipop 5.0.1 to Marshmallow 6.0.1.

It is great to upgrade your OS version to the latest version so that you’ll enjoy quite a lot of customization features. In some situations, you can also unbrick your mobile when flashing the firmware.

Before running this firmware update, ensure you check out the below information;

  • Check your device mobile no.

  • Please ensure your battery percentage is above 50 (if possible, wait until the device is fully charged)

  • Backup everything you currently saved on the smartphone.

  • This update is for Samsung Galaxy models only; *don’t try to use this update on other Manufacturer models.
