You will be asked to share your information, on a page that follows after you click the download button. After filling in the information, submit it, you will now be redirected to the download page where you will get two different files, select the OTA file because we want to flash the OTA.

2. Launch your PC or laptop and have your phone connected to it via the data cable. Also, enable the USB Debugging mode.
3. Now boot your Essential smartphone into the recovery mode. To do so write down the following ADB command
adb root recovery4. Now you have to open a menu in the recovery mode to carry out further processing for which you need to press the power and the volume up button once, the menu will now appear, select the option that says “apply update from ADB”
5. After doing so, you need to enter a command “adb devices” in order to make sure that the word sideload will appear next to the name of your device in the command window which is extremely important. Now use the following command to sideload the updated zip to your device
adb sideload <path to>OTA.zip6. Now from the above command replace the text <path to> to the path of the file of the downloaded OTA. Replace the text OTA.zip with the original file name, after which your file should look somewhat like this.
adb sideload C:\Users\username\Desktop\PPR1.180412.048.zip7. You can now see the command prompt in terms of percent. After the system reaches 100% you now need to reboot the system for which select “reboot system now”.
