Nokia dominated the market, and when a phone’s software became corrupted or "bricked," it couldn't be fixed with a simple USB cable and a laptop. Technicians required a hardware interface—a "box"—to communicate with the phone’s internal firmware.

: Check the box for Flash , and select either F-BUS or USB depending on your cable setup.

: Click the FLASH button. Follow any prompt to short-press the power button on the phone to initiate the boot ROM connection.
