    Post [7.0][STOCK] Lenovo P2a42 Stock Nougat Update [S232]

    Also is it necessary to have an SD card to perform the update? I dont have an SD card with me right now, I tried performing the update and I get an 'install failed' error. I've name the file to 'update.zip' as people have mentioned and place it at the root of my phone
