- Copy or save the file to the smartphone
- The device can only be updated via the Recovery Update mode:
- Turn off the device -> Simultaneously press the power and volume up button until the device switches to quick start mode.
- Access the Recovery option using the volume buttons to move -> Choose English -> Install from internal storage memory -> Select the downloaded zip file -> Select "Yes".
- Wait for the end of the installation -> Restart
