Hi,
When you say “Copy the zip file and place it in your Internal Memory”, what do you mean?
Phone internal memory
or
Phone SD card.
As next to next step you have mentioned “Select Apply Update from SD Card”
It’s bit confusing.
Regards,
Nilachal
I did meant Internal Memory. Copy the zip in Internal Memory. In recovery mode if you select Apply update from SD Card, it will be followed by screen which will show both internal and external memory. Select Internal and proceed with flashing.
