The app will detect your device. Click Install Driver. Ready. Fly firmware successfully installed on your computer.

As a result of the update, all user data will be deleted from the phone memory. Save them in advance.
We launch the program. The application interface for updating the firmware is clear. You can only make a mistake in it if you strongly desire it. We connect the phone in debug mode to a PC. Then he clicks to check the update, or select the phone model from the list (if it is not automatically detected) and click continue.

PS don't forget to update your drivers:

Hello everyone, today two firmware methods will be shown Fly IQ434 Era nano 5 ... One is complex and the other is simple. For "complex" you will need Personal Computer and for a simple microSD memory card.

This device has only one serious problem, which often leads to inoperability and loss of all information. Yes, I'm talking about HANGING ON THE SCREEN. We will flash latest version the factory firmware that exists today.

IMMEDIATELY WARNING YOU, it will not solve the freezing problem, but will only bring the smartphone to working condition... The thing is that the device has only 512 megabytes of memory for storing data, and as soon as the user - the happy owner of this miracle of technology “clogs” this memory with personal data and applications, he will freeze again and will not want to turn on. Well, let's get down to revitalizing the software update.

ATTENTION!!! Before starting software updates, rooting, resetting settings and other manipulations with your own or God forbid someone else's device HIGHLY RECOMMEND read this one. In short, you were warned and do not say later that you hear this for the first time ...

Preparing for the firmware

There is nothing complicated in the firmware of this phone, you just need to follow the points and be careful. It is very difficult to turn it into a "brick" by changing the software, but it is possible. Let's first see what we need.

A device with a charged battery;

MicroUSB cable from the kit or any other;

For easy way you will need a formatted microSD memory card with at least one gigabyte of memory;

Fly IQ434 firmware in the first way - the hard way

The first method requires the installation of drivers, above there is a link to the post with drivers gn_mtk_usbdriver_v1.1.0 and installation instructions. Links to files with firmware and flasher at the end of this post.

Step 1:Open the folder SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v5.1408.00 and run the app flash_tool.exe

Step 3:The process of copying files has started.

Step 4:The firmware takes a little over a minute. A green circle with a white checkmark appears at the end. THIS WAS A DIFFICULT FIRMWARE METHOD.

Fly IQ434 firmware in the second way - simple

This firmware method is very simple as it does not require drivers, a computer or a cable. All you need is the phone itself with a charged battery and a gigabyte memory card with the firmware image. We will flash it through the factory recovery. The method, though simple, is sometimes "buggy". It may not start or sew up crookedly. Standard recovery can also be used to - reset the settings to factory defaults.

Step 1:Copy the firmware image SW20_FLY_IQ434_factory_update.zip onto the memory card and insert it into the device. We put in place the charged battery.

Step 2:We go into the factory recovery as follows - we press the buttons one by one VOLUME + and INCLUSIONS before the appearance of the green android. When it appears, press the button again INCLUSIONS... When the menu appears, select with the button VOLUME- paragraph apply update from sdcard... The button is used to confirm the selected menu. VOLUME +.

Step 3:Select the image from the memory card and press VOLUME +.

Like any other device, each smartphone may need firmware sooner or later. For Fly devices, there is a fairly simple way of performing this operation.

First, you need to connect the phone in the off state to the data cable. After that, a special FlashTool application or some other flasher must be launched on the computer. In the program, you need to go to the "Download" tab, where you specify the COM port corresponding to the connected device.

It is worth saying that the fly phone firmware is not difficult. After specifying the port, you will need to indicate its speed, and here it is important not to make it too high. Next, you need to specify the bootloader by selecting the appropriate one for your device. With its help, you need to download the phone memory allocation scheme.

The checkboxes must be set on those lines that contain the areas of the smartphone's memory to be reprogrammed. For the program, you need to set the starting address, and it will determine the final one on its own. This is exactly what the fly firmware manual is for. After clicking on "Format FAT", select "Manual Fat Format".

The user must place hexadecimal values in the field of the start address and in the field of the size of the cleared area. This should be done with caution, as the calibration data could be accidentally deleted. After pressing the "OK" button, you need to press the button to turn on the device.

Only then will the fly firmware update start. The process will start only after the user clicks the Download button. When the operation is completed, the smartphone can be disconnected from the cable, and then disconnected and returned to its place battery... This completes the firmware update process.

Most owners of trendy smartphones believe that it is impossible to change the firmware in these gadgets on their own, but they are deeply mistaken.

The reasons why you need to flash the phone are very diverse: when the device completely refuses to turn on, if it spontaneously starts to reboot, you need to restore software after an unsuccessful installation, or just wanted to install the most new version firmware.

Fly iq449 flashing instructions

And one more example of Fly smartphone firmware. Other phone models are flashed in the same way. The main thing is to find the right firmware for your phone model. You can find them on the Internet via Yandex. I can also recommend a good site with firmware proshivku.ru/fly

So, Fly iq449 firmware is taken as an example.

The first thing to do is download the firmware itself. It is provided as a zip archive. You do not need to unpack it, since there is a drop on external media memory, that is, an SD card.

The next thing to do is turn off your phone and fully charge its battery. After the battery is fully charged, remove Charger and remove the battery, and after about 30-40 seconds put it back into the phone.

Next, press the power button and hold it for 1-2 seconds while holding down the key that decreases the volume. These two buttons must be held until the manufacturer's logo - FLY appears on the phone screen. After that, you need to release the on / off key, but you must hold the volume down until the Android logo appears. After its appearance, you need to release the volume button and press up once, that is, increase the volume. We use the same button when navigating through the menu items, and select the required option with the power key. We select the menu item "apply update from external storage", then select the archive that was saved to an external storage medium.

This completes the fly iq449 firmware. As you can see, during the installation process operating system there is nothing heavy on the phone and you can really do it yourself, without resorting to paid services service centers or self-taught "handicraftsmen".

But it should be noted that in case of wrong actions when flashing the phone, it can be irretrievably damaged, turned into a "brick" - a useless and useless piece of plastic and iron. Therefore, if you are not confident in your abilities, then it is better to entrust the flashing of a mobile phone or tablet to experienced programmers from an electronics repair service.
