To upgrade to lollipop:

1.Without unzipping place the zip file in the internal sdcard.
2. Goto settings/about/software updates.

3. Press the leftmost capacitive button.

4. Select the toolkit.

5. Then select the first option install update from sdcard by a zip file.


6. Select the zip file.

7. It will reboot the phone into recovery and start the installation.
8. sit back and relax ,wait for 8 to 10 mins.

Changes:
1. Camera is very well calibrated and optimized to capture good images. Makes the camera more optimized with less grains and no over exposure of flash.

2. Battery saver which can boost your battery upto 90 mins more

Bugs solved after a factory reset:

2. play store 64 bit error

Bugs: https://youtu.be/QHvGJkyblfo
1. Third party apps cannot write to the external sdcard
*The default apps can write to external sdcard*
2. default launcher pops up after every reboot
3. after unplugging the headphones the ringer volume is turned low
4. The mx player when headphones plugged in and volume increased above 10% it quits the app.
5. All four cores are running continuously which drains the battery slightly faster but the phone still can manage to give a backup of 1 days on moderate-heavy usage and 1.5 days on low-moderate usage
6. No multiuser support
7. Estimated charging time not displayed on the lockscreen
8. One more bug which I noticed recently is that some facebook videos won't run.

    1. yes its recommended that you should be on stock vibe UI 2.0 for updating via stock recovery. If you are using cm12 or 11 you can revert back to stock rom using a cwm backup if you need that ask me I ll upload it on google drive.
