want any other language, just search the FS version where your language is
included. Do not forget to download the right firmware for your phone. Flashing
wrong firmware can be dangerous and can kill phone.
You can see
tutorial below:- Be sure to have the USB drivers installed, run GG
setup that comes with the A2uploader archive.
- Before we start your battery
has to have enough power left, 50% or more. Flashing with a low battery
percentage can kill your phone.

screen of A2uploader. With the identify button you can check your IMEI number,
current firmware and device name.
Add the
firmware: Press the button add and select the main firmware file you just
downloaded, it must have a *.mbn extension. Now pres sok, you’re back on the
main screen and the firmware file is added to the box.
Again press add and
now select your FS file, this file must have *.fbn extension.
Press
flash: Press the flash button.
- Now the
program will ask you to hold C and connect your phone. Turn off the phone, hold
"C" and now insert the USB cable while holding the "C" button. You can release
the C button when new text appears in the big box on the left.
- If
holding C doesn't connect the phone connect while holding the 2 and 5 key, this
applies for some A2 phone
- A2uploader will now flash the firmware.
During this process do NOT disconnect your phone.
- After complete
flashing process. A2 uploader will say “ready” at the bottom when the flashing
process is done, now you can safely disconnect your phone from the USB
cable.
- Now we have to add custom pack files to make phone work!

A: Remove the two firmware files that are in the
box and add the custompack you have downloaded (still ZIPPED) to misc files with
the “
…” button.
- Now press flash and connect the phone again
holding C, like we did before. Then wait till A2 uploader says “Ready’ again and
disconnect.
