Modern-Tech Jargon Buster - Flash or Flashing

"When I get home i'll FLASH the new ROM."

The term Flash (flashing) is used to describe the installation of a ROM or Operating System (OS) onto a smartphone or tablet (mainly android-based devices).

This tend to be a very delicate process since a bad flash or power failure during the flashing process can result in you bricking your device (something that can happen even to the best among us). Of course being able to flash a ROM onto your device may often require an unlocked bootloader and root access in some instances (these will be explained in subsequent posts).
