Flash ROM upgrade firmware without losing user data cache
NOTE: Attempting the tutorial is done so at your own risk. Any time you modify your phone, the results are 100% your own responsibility.

If you’re a veteran, you may only need to see steps 1, 4 and 5 and note you may need to use SP Flash 3.1344. If you’re a novice, you may want to read through all of the notes and steps.

While many of us know that a two-finger pull-down on the notification bar will access our toggles, this is not conducive to single-hand operation. What are you doing with your other hand? Well, I don’t want to guess… But let’s just say there are times when we need the toggles and both hands aren’t readily available. It’s also of course possible to pull down the notification and tap the icon to bring up toggles, but this is an extra step we can eliminate. (more…)
