ALERT if the current firmware is 11.0.0 or earlier, then you MUST first upgrade to 11.1.1, then to 11.3.2 in steps

Phone Has a Firmware Build Earlier than 11.0.0

Sometimes, a phone taken out of the box has a firmware build earlier than 11.0.0. When this happens, you must upgrade the firmware on your phone to 11.0.0. Then you must update to 11.1.1 or later before you provision it.
