There is a custom and stock firmware. What is it and what is the difference between them? Which one is most preferable to install on your mobile device?
What are Android stock firmware?
For understanding, you can give their second name -"firmware from the manufacturer". What are the advantages of using stock firmware? What can it give to device users? First of all, you need to focus on the fact that they are compatible with smartphones, tablets and so on. That is, there will be no sudden and unpleasant interruptions in the operation of the device.
What you need to know when choosing stock firmware
What it is, we have already considered.But it is necessary to take into account some nuances and aspects. So, ideally, the device is better not to alter. But if there is a need (damage due to the activity of a virus or something else), then you need to be aware of the following things:
- It is necessary to answer such questions: why it is necessary to change the device, what is the final effect and the result is the calculation?
- It is necessary to understand the model of the device.This is necessary due to the fact that within the same trademark similar externally manufactured devices that have different stock firmware are manufactured. HTC, Samsung, Xiaomi and many other manufacturers produce a large number of models, therefore, in order not to turn your device into a “brick”, you need to take care of the accuracy of the data.
- You should carefully study the instructions, readforums to find out what could be the trouble. As a rule, they are already many times described in detail by different people. Also, when performing the firmware, it is necessary to strictly adhere to the existing instructions.
It is also necessary to take into account the availabilitycertain restrictions. So, in this case, it is often not foreseen to provide the user with full access to the device. In addition, manufacturers often sin slow software update.
About the difference in software
We have already figured out how it works and what is itselfrepresents stock firmware. What is it - questions should not be. But on the custom firmware, we almost did not mention. Why is it needed? The fact is that many people do not like what the official manufacturer offers. They are looking for something of their own, created for specific goals and characteristics. And when someone creates their own version of the firmware, then it is called custom. Its feature is the presence of many features that are not in the official versions. But at the same time it is necessary to be prepared for the fact that it also has errors and omissions.
Прошивки, созданные крупными сообществами developers are less susceptible to this, so you can use the device for a long time, but never meet with them. However, it is recommended to pay special attention to what will be installed on the device. At the same time, it is advisable to deal very well with the information backup system, in order to restore the device to the drain state.
Do
So let's move on to the question ofhow to install stock firmware. The information will be general, since the specific features can be quite different from different device manufacturers. So, first you need to download the firmware file on the device itself. Then you need to go into a special mode from which it can be launched. It can provide both factory software and third-party. You can usually back up your data here in case something goes wrong. Do not ignore this feature.
Then you should tell the program to file withfirmware and run the process. After that, you will need to wait until everything is updated, and you can start using your smartphone or tablet. It does not look difficult, but when you work with the instructions for a specific device, then in no case do not step back. After all, it is quite possible to transform the equipment only into an expensive and modern brick, which, perhaps, cannot be restored even in specialized services.
