Return to Optiflash, click on 'Options > Settings > COM Port'

Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Ports (COM and
LTP))
- Select 921600.
- In Second COM Port select 'NONE'

- Click
'OK'

Lastly, click 'Flash'

The flash procedure takes approximately
15 minutes and will be finished when the message 'All is Well' appears above the
green progression bar.

A full reset should not be necessary once the
firmware is upgraded, however, if you want to do it type *2767*3855# then wait
one full minute before you restart your phone.

To check your existing
firmware type *#1234# into your handset.

If your phone restarts in a
different language follow the language selection process:

MENU (left
touch button) > SETTINGS (bottom right icon) > PHONE SETTINGS (2nd option)
> LANGUAGE (1st option)

If the phone freezes after flashing you may
need to wipe your regions. Go to misc settings in the optiflash and tick
differences only, erase all unused regions and extended protection.

You
have to make sure that under the read ranges on the read tab in the optiflash
settings is 0x20000000 - 0x21ffffff because if it isn't, it may wipe your imei.
You can check your imei by typing *#06#.

If the phone is originally from Asia you can flash it with another asian
firmware without wiping the regions but if you want to flash it to a European
firmware from being originally asian, you would have to wipe
it.
