Nokia Care Suite

Nokia Care Suite is the company’s official mobile service for troubleshooting and flashing Nokia devices. It features support for GSM, CDMA and WCDMA devices and includes a bunch of modules aimed at installing or updating Nokia firmware.

Several risks that should be taken into consideration

First of all, the application is based on Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package, so you need to make sure it is installed on your system, but the program setup package offers a download link to save you some effort.
Initially developed for specialized mobile service centers, Nokia’s product was designed for technicians who have the necessary experience and training to perform such complex operations. However, it soon became available to the wide public, which has both positive and negative consequences.
Some users find it awesome that they can finally have access to a tool that can be used to solve various mobile related issues in the comfort of their home at no cost. On the other hand, in the hands of the inexperienced, the application can cause serious damage and even void phone warranty.
In other words, users may benefit from it at their own risk. If used properly, it can achieve beautifully the tasks it was built for. Its main purpose is to flash your Nokia device or repair existing firmware, but note that these jobs should be performed only after prior documentation in this regard.

Modules included in the package

Nokia Care Suite includes four main modules, namely: Fuse, Multi IMEI Reader, Multi Software Updater and the Product Support Tool for Store. The first one manages the connections between your phone and your computer, while the second utility can be used to view the IMEI (International Mobile Station Equipment) number of your device.
With the Multi Software Updater, you should be able to update or refurbish settings for multiple phones at once. And finally, the most popular module is the Product Support Tool, which assists you in downloading ROMs for your model and flashing your device.

Backup operations

Before attempting to perform any changes, consider backing up your data, such as contacts, messages, calendars, because the flashing process usually deletes everything up to the point where it leaves you with a factory-fresh phone.

Bottom line

All in all, Nokia Care Suite makes it worth your while if you want the latest mobile technology deployed fast and effective on your phone. As any other flashing application, it should be handled with care and only by advanced users.
