You can install update automatically via the system update option on your device, but the other way round which is…downloading the OTA package manually and using either TCard method or Recovery method to flash/install updates.
I will focus on teaching you the manual way which means you will need to do the below…

Then, Perform Method 1 or Method 2.
Method 1 (Via TCard Method):
- Settings » About phone » System update » Options » Update from local » Select ‘update.zip’ and install it
- At this point you need to do nothing. The update / upgrade process will begin.
- Wait until the installation is complete so that the device would be rebooted.
Method 2 (Via Recovery Method):
