How to Update

- Create a new folder “dload” in the external SD card of your phone.
- Now copy UPDATE.APP file extracted from the first package (update.zip) to this new dload folder.
- Take a full backup of your important data and turn off your device.
- Press and hold Vol down + Vol up + Power for a few seconds until your phone boots up and starts updating.
- Once your device restarts after successful installation, remove the UPDATE.APP file from the dload folder and replace it with the UPDATE.APP file extracted from the second package (update_full_hw_eu.zip).
- Finally, turn off your phone and trigger the update installation using the same 3-key combination (step 5).
TWRP Method
If you’re encountering errors with the previous method during the installation, you might still be able to install the update using a custom recovery using TWRP.
Simply copy both the update.zip and update_full_hw_eu.zip to your phone, reboot into TWRP and, after taking a full nandroid backup, install both the packages (update.zip first).
