V975/V980/C975/C9803G Flash Procedures

Draft 1.0
Flashing
Before beginning any flashing procedure, always insure
that all hardware connections are secured. Refer to fig-
ure 1-1 for flash connection guides. Any intermittent
hardware connections may cause the procedure to fail
and result in a nonfunctional (Bricked) 3G terminal.
Power Solutions
There are two types of power solutions to perform a
flashing procedure.
1. Fully Charged Battery
2. Full-Rate Charger w/battery (recommended)
If the user decides on using the battery only solution,
he/she must verify that the battery is fully charged. Fail-
ing to verify the capacity of the battery may result in
battery depletion prior to completing the flash process.
This action may cause unrecoverable failures to the 3G
terminal.

dure for a 3G terminal.

mation Panel will indicate whether the process
was successful. At this time you may safely dis-
connect the 3G terminal.
