2. Start the flashing process with the Download button in the flasher app.

3. Press and keep pressed the power button of your phone until the flashing process starts (red bar appears at the bottom of the app window), then release it. In this process you have to keep the power button pressed for about 10 seconds.

4. Wait until the flashing process finishes.

OTA (recovery) update

Manual (local) OTA update method instructions

Optional method (in case if the manual OTA update gets stuck): Install from recovery

You need a microSD card (with at least 4GB capacity) installed in your phone!

• Copy the ...update.zip file to your SD card
• Press and hold the volume-up and power buttons together until your phone restarts in the boot selector mode. It needs about 10 seconds or a little bit less if your phone was already powered off.

• Your phone reboots into Recovery and you see a lying android figure with an exclamation mark in red triangle on its tummy.
• Press and hold the power and vol-up buttons (in this order) together, then release them to call the recovery menu. Now you can move with the volume buttons and select an item with the power button.
• Move to ‘Apply update from SD card’ and select it.
• On the next screen brows for the update file and select it. The updating process will start and needs a few minutes to be finished.
• After a succcessful installation you can read the ''Install from sdcard complete'' message and the receovery menu is available again.
• Select 'Reboot system now'. Alternatively you can perform a factory data reset here by choosing 'Wipe data/factory reset'
  

Kind request from users:

Please report any kind of new issues you experience after installing this update only if you've already flashed this ROM with SP Flash Tool in Firmware Upgrade mode. In rare cases a FOTA update can cause more or less serious malfunctions but that means only the update process went wrong, not a badly developed ROM. An updated stock ROM, especially related to the basic functions will not cause any new issues but will solve some of the existing ones.

\n\n**PLEASE IGNORE**  It is a dialer issue, I think not related to update!
Hi
When I get an incoming call my screen stays all black and I cannot answer the call.
When I open the screem, I still cannot accept the call.

There was no issue before this update.

I would like to ask - can I make an OTA with this, when my latest rom is dated back to May 2017,and my recovery is TWRP, not a stock anymore?
Will it brick my phone or made some weird stuff?

hi team....
Can you tell me if this update also contains the previous one?

The camcorder of the camera driver I think is very important and important, why is it not released via fota?

Ciao Andrea, hai ragione, ho invertito le rom, comunque credo che l'ultima abbia tutto, almeno la patch di sicurezza e il kernel, quindi immagino anche il resto.

Sicuramente va molto meglio, piu stabile e consuma molto meno batteria.

\n\nHello there. Newest OTA update is impossible to install - regardless of way of installing it, or the used app.

In freshly made system, dated back to last update (May 2017), which DOES NOT have TWRP installed, installing it from local storage gets error and no further data.
In freshly made system (as mentioned above), with TWRP 3.1.1.0 for C Note installed, patch overwrite boot (I think), and force phone to go into TWRP. Regardless of chosen option to restart or reboot, phone returns in recovery. Wiping does not give any effect.
When I've tried to install it using TWRP (clean system from May, then custom recovery), program gives error number 7.

Package has been downloaded from your link 3 times, using RJ-45 connection to Internet. Also, wireless OTA has been downloaded before to my phone and unpacked there.

None of these methods worked. My phone forced me (or was it opposite) to make hard reset and port it all over again.
Something is wrong - either with the file itself, or with the link.
I was downloading OTA wireless using 4G network, NOT my Wi-Fi.

Does anyone else got the same issue?

/E
also, when rebooting after failed attempt, ALL APPS are not responding and forcing itselves to shut down, whenever I'm trying to reach it. WTF?
