How to Update
Note: Your device should already be running a C432 (Europe) based firmware onboard before the installation of this firmware. As this is a beta firmware, you may not be able to install it using the stock recovery or even TWRP. Proceed at your own risk!
- Make sure your phone already has a custom recovery like TWRP installed with an unlocked bootloader.
- Verify your phone’s model number from Settings > About Phone and then download the appropriate update.zip, cust and public data files from the links provided above.
- Transfer the 3 zip packages to your phone’s internal memory or SD card and then turn the device off.
- Now, hold Volume up + Power simultaneously for a few seconds until the device boots into TWRP.
- In TWRP, take a full backup of all the partitions and store it in the SD card.
- You’re recommended that you perform a factory reset before proceeding (Warning: this will wipe out the internal memory).
- Next, go to Install, locate the update.zip package and confirm its installation.
- After that, install the other two zip files the same way.
- When you’re done, return to the main screen and reboot into the system.
