    2. USB Cable: Use the original USB cable or a high-quality data cable.
    3. Backup: If your device turns on, back up your data via BlackBerry Link before proceeding. This process wipes the device.
    4. Drivers: Ideally, install BlackBerry Link on your PC first to ensure necessary drivers are present.
    • Use Windows 7/8/10/11 (64-bit recommended). Run installer as Administrator.
    • Temporarily disable firewall/antivirus only if they interfere with flashing; re-enable immediately after.
