Step 5:The update tool can actually just scan the ota folder and show you the package that you have downloaded. You can also use the reload button, and that should do the job for you.

Step 6:Once the file is in place and everything is ready, simply tap Directly apply OTA from selection.

Step 7:Make sure the phone screen is on, and you are not using your phone to go back to the home screen or using any other apps.

Step 8:Upon completion, you will get a message sayingUpdate OTA Success.Just reboot your phone if it doesn't reboot itself, and when you are booting, you will be on Android 14.
