In this post, we will see in detail about unlocking, flashing, and debranding the device. We have already provided so many unlocking solutions for various brands, including Huawei, ZTE, Micromax, Alcatel, Aircel, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Reliance, Glo, Tata Docomo, Tata Indicom, BSNL modems. We usually use some words like Unlocking, Flashing, and Debranding. In this post, we will see, What is Unlocking, Flashing, and Debranding?
Overall, if you think, then all the words Unlock, Flash, and Debranding are the same ones that are used to access other networks than by default.
Unlocking – The unlocking words apply to mobile phones/modems (with SIM cards) and allow users to work in a medium other than the one on which it is locked. In other words, we can say that unlocking is the process by which it removes the locks on the SIM card to be used in the phone so that any SIM card can be used in the handset.
Flashing – The flashing words apply to CDMA phones/modems (without a SIM card) to enable a CDMA phone/modem to operate on another CDMA media that you will need to flash the phone. Flashing is a much more complicated process than unlocking, while the pattern of both processes is the same. The flashing word is used for software upgrade/flashing, etc. In this process, we modify the dashboard or internal software or, say, firmware to use another SIM network provider.
Debranding –Word used to remove network logos, sounds, and menus that are often found on mobile phones or modems provided by the network operator, e.g., Vodafone or T- Mobile, usually custom handset with these, which would be removed by the rebranding/debranding process.
