If you happen to use a Lenovo or Motorola smartphone, then you definitely need to flash the firmware on your device. Of course, the OEM rolls out OTAs, but that’s a time-consuming affair. With technology making things easier and accessible, grabbing a firmware file for a device is not a big deal. Yes.! Users can now install updates on their own. We have thousands of file-sharing websites that host these firmware files. The real question arises on how to install the firmware. Some devices have local upgrade option in them.
