[apat26]

For those of you restless guys like me.....here is how you can flash Oreo through TWRP....
You should be on Chinese stock B596 or debrand to Chinese stock B596 first.
1. Obtain the unlock code of the loader (DC-Unlocker, site).
2. Unlock the loader.
3. Install TWRP .
4. Download the HWOTA folder and unpack it on your PC.
5. Download the firmware and rename the archives:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip ,
- update_full _... zip to update_all_hw.zip ,
- update.zip leave unchanged.
6. Copy the above archives to the HWOTA folder.
7. Copy the HWOTA folder to the root of the SD card.
8. Go to TWRP, to update, select the nxt_hwota_update.zip archive in the HWOTA folder and start the installation. It will reboot and start the installation.
