Cherry Mobile Flare S2 and Xolo Q700s alike?

Have you been working so hard to get a mod and or a custom ROM for your Cherry Mobile Flare S2 while on the other hand, its OEM version Xolo Q700s enjoys a lot of mods and custom ROMs? This article will help you.

But why I need to convert my Cherry Mobile Flare S2 firmware with Xolo Q700s'? Simply because Flare S2 has a different region or partition which made it difficult when porting ROMs, and since its OEM version, Xolo Q700s, has a lots of mods, it is very wise to use that advantage to upgrade the firmware so that Flare S2 can also enjoy the mods available for Xolo Q700s

Let's proceed to the guide below to get the upgrade started.

How to upgrade Cherry Mobile Flare S2 to Xolo q700s' official firmware

3. The Xolo firmware is now loaded therefore all partitions in the list are checked automatically, if not are all checked automatically, you have not placed the Xolo Q700s and Usrdata and Cache in the same folder so put them in one and load the scatter file again.

4. Switch OFF or turn OFF your phone. When it is already off, plug-in the USB cable to your computer but NOT in your Flare S2.
