This article will be useful for those who want to learn how to flash Lenovo using FlashTool. First you need to talk about the FlashTool program itself.

This program has been widely used for many years for firmware of various models of phones, smartphones and tablets.

Initially, FlashTool was used to change the software on almost all models of Chinese phones that were created based on the MTK processor.

However, over time, the capabilities of the program have significantly expanded, and now the application is used to flash most of the original models that are manufactured in China. Thus, today this program can flash tablets and smartphones of Lenovo, Sony, WEXLER, Texet and many other well-known brands.

Firmware Features

The firmware of Chinese smartphones and phones was previously made via the COM port, then it became possible to emulate the specified interface via USB. Modern versions of FlashTool3 and FlashTool5 freely support firmware at maximum speed via USB cable.



Despite the widespread opinion that the new version of the application is always better than the old one, it is still recommended to use FlashTool3 for older models, and FlashTool5 for new versions of smartphones or tablets.

The process of updating the software or firmware of Chinese tablets, as well as the original Lenovo devices, is carried out using a computer or laptop. It must be remembered that in case of unstable computer operation or when electricity surges, the firmware process may be interrupted. Which in turn will cause the device to stop turning on.
