Nubia is one of the popular Chinese smartphone brands from ZTE that manufactures impressive Android devices for both the mid-budget and flagship segments. Nubia devices do come with Qualcomm and MediaTek chipsets out of the box. Now, if you’re one of the Nubia device users then you can Download Nubia Emergency Flash Tool to Unbrick or Update Firmware quite easily.

Just like the Samsung ODIN Flash Tool and Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool, Nubia device users can use the Emergency Flash Tool if they want to flash the stock ROM or manually update the firmware version whatsoever.
