How to Update

Before installing this update, make sure you have the Asian EVA-L19 variant that’s already running a C636 based firmware.

1. TWRP Method

1. For this procedure, your phone needs to have TWRP custom recovery with unlocked bootloader.
2. Download the three zip files provided above and transfer them to your phone’s internal memory or the external microSD card.
3. Disconnect the USB cable and turn your phone off.
4. Now, hold Vol up + Power simultaneously for a few seconds until your device boots into TWRP.
5. In TWRP, take a full backup of all the partitions.
6. Go to Install, find the update.zip package you copied earlier and flash it.
7. Upon completion, install the other two zip files (Cust and Public packages).
8. Finally, return to the main screen and reboot into the system.

2. FF Method

Step 1: For this method, download and install the Firmware Finder app from the Google Play Store.

Step 2: Open the app, go to its settings and enable “Use proxy for install” – tap the download addon button when prompted and then install that addon too.

Step 3: Now, go to Settings > Wifi > Tap & hold the network you’re connected to > Modify network > Show Advanced options > Manual. Here, enter localhost for Proxy hostname and 8080 for Proxy port. Finally, tap Save (or Connect) to exit.

Step 4: Next, reopen the Firmware Finder app, select the full version of B386 firmware (make sure it matches your current model and build) and send it to the firmware updater.

Step 5: Go to Settings > Updater – it should now look for an update. When it finds the update, again go to Wifi settings and disable the proxy (Wifi > Modify network > Proxy > None > Save).

Step 6: Finally, return to the Updater, download the update and confirm its installation.
