Always backup your NVRAM or IMEI data if possible before flashing.
"Version 7.5.0," Elias said. "It’s the only thing that still speaks the language of the Old World machines."
The droid didn’t move. Its neural core was locked tight. In the trade, they called it a 'Hard Brick.' The official technicians at the Omni-Corp would have scrapped it for parts. But Elias wasn't an official technician. He was a retrieval specialist. He salvaged the lost, the broken, and the forgotten.
This tutorial outlines the general process for using the tool, which is applicable to most STM32 devices. flash loader tool 7.5.0
To help you understand the evolution of ST's flashing tools, here is a detailed comparison between the older Flash Loader Demonstrator and its successor, STM32CubeProgrammer.

This tool is particularly useful for developers who need a quick and straightforward way to flash firmware without a dedicated hardware debugger like ST-LINK.
: For engineers in a production environment, it is often necessary to program a board after the microcontroller has been soldered onto the PCB. The Flash Loader can be used for this, requiring only access to the device's USART pins and a way to toggle the boot pin. This makes in-circuit programming fast and efficient without needing an expensive JTAG/SWD programmer on every station.
Monitor the status bar as it writes different partitions (Boot, System, Userdata). Its neural core was locked tight
The fan in the droid’s chest whirred to life, a high-pitched turbine sound that was music to Elias's ears. The LEDs lining the A.R.I.A. unit's throat pulsed a soft, rhythmic amber.
: The firmware to flash must be in HEX, BIN, or S19 format
