The subject has no significance to have an article. The article is heavily unreferenced, and the sources mentioned don't meet WP:RS. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 04:09, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but stubbify - Notable topic, but article is written as a badly referenced how-to. Current coverage on WP seems to consist of Firmware#Flashing, which definitely does not contain all that could be said on the topic; separate article would likely be viable if done in suitable encyclopedic style. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:16, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Elmidae: In that case, it is better to blank and redirect to the above mentioned section. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 14:30, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep and needs major clean-up. I actually gave the article an advert tag as I felt that the article was shabbily written which made it looked like a how-to manual. However, the topic is notable and existential and hence should still be kept. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 10:48, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
