You have checked the phone software version because the software upgrade aims to
upgrade lower versions to higher versions only. For details about how to distinguish
between versions, see section 5.3 "How to Distinguish Between Software Versions."
If a normal upgrade fails, use the forcible upgrade method to upgrade the phone again.
Prioritize the normal upgrade on phones that can be normally powered on. Forcible upgrades
may be risky because information loss might happen and thus is not recommended.
About backing up important user data:
To back up contact information, text messages, and third-party applications, insert a
microSD card, and use the backup software on the phone (All Backup, for example) to
back up all the information to the microSD card.
To back up photos, videos, music, and personal files, manually back them up to the
microSD card.
