I've purchased ZTE Open C on Ebay, and it has arrived today, but it's got Android OS instead of Firefox one - how can I install FF OS on it?

Another thing is that in settings it says the model of my phone is Kis 3 and not Open C - is this correct?

Thanks for any help.

After all I've contacted the seller and he gave me the link to FFOS download (the one linked by Ralph Daub didn't work for some reason). After installing FFOS it recognizes my phone as OPEN C, so I guess it's one of these chinese mysteries I'll never really understand.

Hi bazujewicz,

It seems that the Ebay seller may have sent you the wrong item. You should contact the seller to inquire about an exchange to the correct cell phone device.

This link shows how to manually update and flash a ZTE Open C:

However - since your phone may be a different model, it could end up bricking and voiding warranty on your device.

Please contact the seller and the appropriate Ebay channels for further support.
