Managing firmware involves risks. Follow these tips to protect your hardware.

• Keep your phone battery charged above 50 percent before you start.
• Use the original USB cable that came with your phone.
• Create a backup of your personal data before you proceed. This process wipes existing data on your phone.
• Do not disconnect the cable while the progress bar shows movement.
• Ensure you download firmware files from trusted sources specific to your device version.

🏢 Support and updates

Check the releases page periodically for new versions of this software. Developers release updates to support new chipsets and versions of Windows. If you encounter bugs, check the issues tab on the repository page to see if others report similar behavior. Keep your Windows environment clean and updated to ensure the best performance. The tool functions best when no other software attempts to access the device connection at the same time. Close other programs before you begin the flashing sequences.
