5.2 Upgrade Process
1. Format the microSD card.
2. Create a folder named dload in the root directory of the microSD card.
3. Copy the upgrade file to the dload folder.
4. Install the microSD card to the handset. Power the handset on, and enter
*#*#2846579#*#* in the idle screen.
Select SD card upgrade then press Confirm to start the upgrade.
5. Before the upgrade, NV items backup is performed (if the handset has not been backed
up before). Then the handset restarts and the upgrade starts.
6. The upgrade progress is displayed on the LCD.
Figure 5-1 shows the upgrade process diagram.

7. After the upgrade is completed, the handset restarts and the NV items are restored.
8. After the main upgrade pack is upgraded, upgrade the vendor upgrade pack using the
same method.
If the handset cannot be properly powered on, follow the following two methods to forcibly
upgrade the handset:
1. Install the battery to the handset (if the screen is splashing, remove the battery and wait
for five seconds before installing the battery again). Press Volume + and Volume –, and
press the Power key, the handset will start SD forcible download. The specific download
process is similar to the project menu download.
2. When the handset has not a battery installed, press Volume + and Volume –, and
connect the handset to a charger, the handset can also start the SD forcible upgrade. It is
recommended that you use a charger to perform forcible upgrade. If the download still
fails, replace the SD card and try forcible upgrade again.
