2 Questions. Are NFC and fingerprint working with this last update? And, P1 c58 can be updated with this firmware?
Thanks
The screenshot above shows the p1c58, but the link says Firmware P1a42 – which isn’t the same (p1c58/p1a42)
Can someone explain if this is for the p1c58 or not please? – I bought the c58 and want to get the firmware if possible :)
Will downgrading to lollipop wipe all the data?
Yes
‘Fingerprint hardware not available ‘error
Is it a bug of marshmallow update or a hardware problem?
