Hello
Here is the easiest way to upgrade to 160721 for those who have TWRP already installed
This is the TWRP clean image from my phone in english language with root.
1. Download https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2P_ip9hksA-b3dmSjVUam04Qk0
2. Unpack and place the folder to your SD card where TWRP images are held
3. Restore the image with TWRP to your phone
4. Reset the android and choose desired language

Successfully tested by daniyalhasan http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68277575&postcount=471

In case of troubles i hope daniyalhasan can help.


I think it is enough to restore only: Boot, System and System image and do TWRP standart wipe: Data, Cache and Dalvik - but I am not shure. Maybe some brave user can test and report
It it will work this way I can make smaller image

Aw... shoot....

I wish I'd checked here before using QFIL to update to S288 this morning and ended up with having to reinstall everything.... well there you go, lesson learned.... always check and recheck on XDA before doing anything....

(I was already on S285 with TWRP when I decided I want to update to S288 even at the cost of having to redo TWRP and Root.... )

Looks pretty identical to my C72. When view from the back, card slot is near top left corner ( sim slot near right top corner ). It would be completely stupid to leave this place empty.
BTW I recommend you c72. 3GB vs. 2GB RAM makes difference.

Thanks friend, I read some articles on the net that says 2GB ram model has no microsd extend and no NFC.
And 3GB model is 58usd expensive.
For me; 1GB ram not worth 58usd.. ;)
