Warning

Installing an official update doesn’t voids your device’s warranty, but it remains an unofficial procedure after all. hence, you need exercise caution. You only are responsible for your device and we won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

How to Install

Step 2. Connect your device to PC using a USB cable.

Step 3. Now transfer the OTA update to phone’s storage. Remember the location of it.
