Upgrade Software of Android

Want to update software so why visit service center you can update it by yourself. We generally visit service center to update software and waste our money.
There are two methods to update software:

1st Method

Update software using FOTA (Firmware Over The Air)

This is the most simplest method to update software all you need is Internet Connection.
It doesn't mean that you need WiFi only, you can also use mobile data but this can consume lot of mobile data so WiFi is recommended.
Why use WiFi?

WiFi is recommended because it provides you good internet speed so that you can download update without any hurdle and no need to wait for so long. These updates are  of 500MBs or more, so it may take long time while using 2G Data.
WiFi also recommended because a lot of data is needed so using Mobile data can increase our usage and as we know mobile data is too costly, so why waste lot of money but if that's not an issue so go for new update.

Solution

Go to settings - > about device -> Software Update - > Update now

In few android phones you may get by the name of "About Phone" but it will there only.
These option is always at the last in all android phone so it's very easy to find out.

After installing updates click on install and then phone will restart just wait for some time and here we go your phone is updated to new version.

Points to remember:

You battery should be charge up to 70% if phone is discharged while installing updates then phone may be dead. If phone is dead then you will have to visit service center and PBA(motherboard) will be changed so always remember this. Or you can put your phone on charging and be out of Risk.
Update doesn't mean your phone will be converted to new version on each update. Few updates are to remove bugs of OS and updates may be of 5MB or less.
Always keep your phone Updated.
If your phone is ROOTED then you can't update your phone through this method.
2nd Method

In this method you need your PC/ Laptop and data cable to update phone. There are PC suits of each mobile company for this purpose. For example :
           Samsung -
              KIES :               For Android version 4.2 or below
              KIES 3:             For Android version 4.3 or above
              Smart Switch:   For Android version 4.3 or above
         To download click on the link below

        Sony -
          PC companion
          Download PC Companion from here


        Micromax -
               micromax pc suite

SOLUTION


Download any of the above PC Suit as per your requirement  and then open PC suit.
Connect mobile with PC through data cable.
You will see connecting mobile and after few seconds it will show connected.
Now simply look for FIRMWARE UPGRADE/ SOFTWARE UPDATE option and click on update.
You will see your phone will start downloading firmware and while installing your phone will restart and your phone is updated.


Points to remember:

There is a myth that updating mobile's OS can delete all the data . No its not true mobile's data is not erased while updating OS.
Your phone's battery should be charged more than 70% or put on charging while updating OS, if phone turns off while installing new OS then there are chances of phone being dead.
