  1. Can I use CWM recovery to install the update.zip or it can be done only via Stock recovery?

    • Installing OTA updates while having ClockWork mod (CWM) is not possible. You need Stock Recovery to install the OTA update

  2. Is this an marshmallow update? As because in download files it showing s121 not s322

    • Yes this is Marshmallow OTA file. Don’t get confused with numbers S121 is Indian variant and S205 is global variant of k3 Note

    • Use this combination “Volume UP+Volume Down+Power Button” to enter into Recovery mode

    • Yes some time it stuck on 49% but wait for some time to complete the process.

      • it shows install failed after 49 %, i left it for 2 mins, it went back to main screen.
