  1. Dear Hovatek, my build number is C8-H352-A2-L-20151207. Jst to be double sure, it’s same with H352-A2-L-20160118 right?

    1. With Tecno, its not as straightforward as that. Lets take a look.
      C8-H352-A2-L-20151207
      C8-H352-A2-L-20160118

      Ideally, the latter should be an update of the former but with Tecno, they could be entirely different variants. I don’t know for sure. Ensure you backup your current before you proceed
