I got a new phone today the ZTE Nubia Z5s Mini I noticed there is an update available but have some questions maybe someone could help, I bought the phone from China so no support available to me.

The update boots into a Chinese menu and I'm not sure as to which menu to select to upgrade the software, its currently Android 4.2.2 Custom ZTE Rom.

Since I bought the phone from China does anyone know if I will loose the English language if I update or any of the English functions?

Thanks but all the download links end up on 404 pages.

Weird. Loads normaly to me.

There is a 05/12/2014 file for Z5s mini. It is named as Z5s mini Unicorn. Any clue what maight that be? In addition in their forums I realized that a 4.4 version has been released today (May 15th). I hardly understand that we may have a 4.4 in our phone. Anyone that could deal better with chinese in order to learn details???

I tried the may 15th download the site eventually worked for me but the update fails to install giving an error message in English over Chinese, the unicom might be a different model I've an NX403A according to the about phone stats.

I have the same model and i quess that this Unicom edition is for another model maybe. Kitkat and UI 2.0 that X6 "wears" is almost ready for Z5, Z5 mini and Z5s mini.
