Things to Remember Before You Start

It is always better to update your phone’s OS via the OTA update. Please take the following steps at Your Own Risk. We will not be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. I recommend you to always take backup of your phone’s data before making an update. Also, the OTA update will take around 1.7 GB of storage space, so make sure you have enough space before proceeding and your battery charge level is above 50%.
