The update will be performed through PC, this is not a OTA update. It is essential that your system must not turn off while performing updates. Also make sure that your phone’s battery is charged atleast 60 to 70% so that it wont get turn off during the process or it may get bricked.
In order to update XXKTT 2.3.6 Firmware you will need to download the firmware on your PC hard drive along with the software we mentioned above, ODIN. You can download the same from below provided URLs:
Once you had got both the files, keep the content of Firmware on desktop (extract it) and install ODIN. Then move ahead with following steps :
