Question Flashing Taiwanese Firmware (61.1.F.5.82) over Russian Firmware (61.0.A.25.7)

[ericj3]

Hi!

I recently rooted my XQ-72 running on the RUS firmware.

Since it is no longer being supported and cannot update to Android 12, I was wondering if I could flash the Taiwanese firmware over it without bricking or corrupting the phone. If anyone can lend their expertise, please help!

Thank you so much,
Eric

Hi, I really appreciate your response! I have another question. if you don't mind:

Would you happen to know the best way to flash the firmware? I tried using Emma but it did not offer any services with the device. I have the Taiwanese firmware from XperiFirm but am unsure as to what I should do with the files in the folder.

Thank you so much,
Eric

Thank you so much! I just successfully flashed the firmware and it is on Android 12. It means so much to me!
