flashing means to upload a new fw in your fone. the brands release usually new fw to manage former bugs in the older versions, sometimes those cannot be recognized at usage. but there are ( could be ) common problems in a fw, so its a must to release a new one. unfortunately now a days the testing of a new fone isnt so precise as in the past, therefore the often upgrades. se let it to flash some of their models at the support site, so u can can do it on your own aswell, at home with your pc. years ago it was impossible, but once the brands had way better support.

nope as the firmware upgrade is done as part of the Warranty on the handset.
Totally free.
