Upgrade Android phone firmware.


The operating system (OS) of an android phone can be upgraded from whatever version to the latest one. Currently, the latest Android version is Android 12 code-named Snow Cone. One needs to be sure if his/her device would support the latest Android OS available.

Developers who wish to upgrade their phone os to the latest one would need to meet the following requirements;
  • Download the Latest Android version in a zip file format. You need to search for an appropriate version in a zip file format for download.
  • ü  Download TWRP Recovery for your device. Every phone has a specific TWRP recovery file that would support it. Visit www.xda-developers.com to download your device's specific TWRP recovery file.
  • ü  Download and install ADB and Fastboot drivers and Enable USB Debugging. This is because we would install TWRP using ADB.
