1 MF97G Upgrade Guide (Through an SD Card) 1. Backing Up the Data 1) Download the upgrade package. Download the upgrade package (update.zip) that matches your device from ZTE handset website. If the downloaded package is not update.zip, unzip the package to obtain the file. Ensure that your micro SD card is at least 1GB. Verify that the update.zip file in the root directory of the SD card matches the model of the device. Do not modify the file name and extension name of the files in the upgrade package. 2) Back up the data and APPs in your device by using a third-party PC tool. 3) Verify that your device has enough (at least 20%) power. Charge the device if required. To avoid data lost or upgrade failure, it is not recommended to upgrade your device through an SD card when the device is being charged. 4) You should not perform any other operation on the device during the upgrade process. 5) A normal upgrade should be completed in 2-3 minutes. If the device does not reboot or show any response in three minutes, you should perform the upgrade process again. If the device cannot be started, you should contact ZTE Support Hotline for support. 2. Upgrade Description There are two upgrade methods: normal upgrade and forced upgrade.
