- You can now disconnect and Power on the phone
Important Notice
- Do not interrupt the flashing process as it could result in a dead phone
- Always try to search well for the latest firmware before download / flashing. Using a firmware below the current firmware on the phone would result in a partially bricked phone (this is because downgrading isn't allowed)
- If this method doesn't work for you, then you can try flashing using Phoenix Service Suite
- Only flash firmwares for your exact phone model and RM product code

Read step 8 and 9 again
If you have the path to the location of thr firmware files, the set step 8 and 9 based on the location of the file path you have.
OR ensure that the RM-x you selected matches the firmware you intend to flash
