Flashing/Upgrading/Debranding Tutorial


has both GSM and MA . Here I'll discuss on how to Flash/Software Update/Debrand GSM . Flashing depends on Platform rather than Model, so you may notice one model uses one flasher but the next model uses another. Different models which are from same platform use same flasher. has several platforms like Infineon, Qualcomm, ADI, TI, MTK, SEMC etc. I'll try describe on ch platform how to flash a phone. Remember that, till now XP is the best performing Operating Syetem for flashing.



~INFINEON~
based on Infineon platform are flashed with GSMulti software. GSMulti has different versions like 20, 21, 30. The last one is GSMulti V30 and it supports all infineon till now. Infineon can be flashed both in USB and UART mode. Normally USB should be used, it will flash the phone in minutes where UART will take hour(s). Sometimes when phone is dd or rebooting and can't install USB driver you need to use UART then. Some old support only UART.
Infineon flashing on UART 1. You need a USB to Converter BOX/Cable with correct pinout of the phone. 2. Install and run GSMulti v30 3. Go to Setting(s) > Configuration, select DLL and firmware on S/W box, select UART as communiion, select correct port of Box/cable, then click OK. 4. Now click START on main window, when the software says Wait Phone Connecting... connect POWERED OFF phone with battery to cable and press POWER button.
Infineon flashing on USB 1. Install GSMULti V30 2. Connect phone to usb cable without battery, will ask for driver, show driver from C:\GSMULTI\UsbDrivers\INFINEON. 3. Open USBMap from C:\GSMULTI, select INFINEON and click MAPPING START, reconnect the phone to usb cable without battery. Some info will show on PORT/NAME, now SAVE & EXIT. 4. Open GSMulti main software, go to Setting(s) > Configuration, select DLL and firmware on S/W box, select USB as communiion then click OK. Now click START on main window, when the software says Wait Phone Connecting.. reconnect the cable. If flashing not start without battery just put the battery and slightly press power button.
