Tecno Camon C8 users, I know you have been expecting this update for a long period of time, Android 6.0 Marshmallow finally arrived for your device. It is time for you to flex with the new Google OS Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your Camon C8.

Normally, there are 2 ways to get the new Google OS running on your device. One of the ways is for you to exercise patient for Over The Air (OTA) update to appear on your phone. This may come anytime as OTA updates are usually released in batches hence, not everyone get’s it at the same 
time.

The second way of getting the Android 6.0 upgrade into your Tecno C8 is through a downloaded .zip file. Fortunately, Tecno Forum has made this zipped file available for everyone who can not wait any longer for the OTA update.

There are 2 method of flashing the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update into the Tecno Camon C8. You can flash it through TF Card or using SP Flash tools, but the available software for now is via TF Card, so that means, the below guide will focus on how to upgrade your Tecno C8 via TF Card method and the post will be update later as soon as we got software for SP Flash Tool method.

Important Notice

If you have already rooted your Tecno C8, to be on a safer side, you're strongly advised to Unroot. Upgrading an already rooted device Over-the-Air or via TF card can get the device bricked.

Never forget to back up your files, contact and essential apps before you begin, because the flashing process will re-brand your smartphone and thus clear all your important data and files.
