Hey Questers,

Curious to know how to flash the firmware? Well, read on...

Warmly Tips:

Limited by Android 8 and higher versions, iQOO 3 cannot flash the lower version (you can check the current version of your phone in Settings>My Device>More Parameters).

Your data on your phone won't be cleared. However, we also recommend you backup your important data, such as contacts and messages, before doing so. Moreover, make sure the battery capacity is sufficient (over 30%).

1. Download the corresponding firmware for your phone;

2. Move it to the root directory of your phone's storage without decompressing;

Note: The root directory is basically the first thing you see when you open a file explorer on your phone. In other words, do not put the file in a folder. The files that can be found in the 'Phone Storage' interface of the File Manager are located within the root directory.

3. Install the firmware:

If you can enter your phone, click the firmware in File Manager>Local Files to install it.

If you cannot enter your phone:

Press and hold the Power button and Volume Up button simultaneously until the iQOO 3 logo appears. Select Recovery Mode by pressing the Volume Down button, and enter it by pressing Power button. 

Then tap Install software>Phone memory to enter the lock screen password, select the downloaded software package to install it.

4. After the software has been installed successfully, click Reboot by pressing the Power button to enter your phone.

Happy Questing,
