Warning: Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

Backup your Android. In case your device is wiped off while following the guide below, it’s good to have a backup of contacts, photos, videos and other files already saved on PC.

<step operation = “getvar” var = “max-download-size” />

1. Power off your device first.
2. Press and hold Power + Volume down together for 5-6 seconds, and then let go of buttons. You’ll enter bootloader mode, aka Fastboot mode. You’ll see FASTBOOT AP written at top.

Open the RSDLite software now.

Connect your device to PC now, with USB 2.0 cable. Avoid USB 3.0 cable when using RSDLite. You should receive Fastboot <device codename> text under the model column of RSDLite, in row one, as shown below.

→ Both files instruct RSDLite to flash the firmware files on the device, but servicefile doesn’t asks it to wipe the data of the devices. Thus if you use flashfile, your device’s apps, games, contacts, etc. will be deleted, while in case of servicefile, your data remains.

→ We recommend you to use servicefile, and in case device gets stuck at boot logo, then simply enter recovery mode (select it from fastboot mode) and then do a factory reset yourself, and then restart. Should be fine!

That’s it. When RSDLite is done flashing the 5.1 firmware, the device will restart automatically. Give it ample time to reboot, like 10-20 minutes.

→ Take care to not remove the cable until the device has restarted completely. Close the RSDLite only after that.

You now have the Android 5.1 update from Verizon, the final release.
