How to get a China 360 Drive Account! (aka Amoi Big V Android Jelly Bean 4.1 Upgrade)

NOTE: A reader wrote in with news that this JB build may not be completely stable. I followed up on the message and found that this is unfortunately indeed the case. There is some buggy behavior happening with some users who are installing this build. Keep in mind this is the first public release, so this isn’t exactly unexpected. If you still wish to give it a go, please make sure to make a NAND ROM backup with Titanium backup before you update in case you need/want to switch back. This ROM is released by Amoi. However, REMEMBER that you update at your own risk.

NOTE#2: Readers have reported back that this ROM is working fine for them, however they couldn’t find a way to root it. The root method here worked on the stock ROM for them, but not this updated Jelly Bean ROM.

NOTE#3: I’ve posted a new JB ROM for Amoi N820 and N821 with integrated ROOT. Please check out the post and see if it’s for you.

Someone recently requested some help regarding getting Android Jelly Bean 4.1 onto their Amoi Big V. Rather than upload 700MB, I’ve decided to create this tutorial on how to create a China 360 cloud drive account and add uploaded files to your drive from a shared folder.

If you’ve already got a China 360 cloud account, or want to go it alone, you can skip to step #3 which has the upgrade folder link.

1) Click this link and fill it out:

2) If this pops up, click as shown:

3) Click this link and login:

4) Make sure all files are selected and click as shown:

5) Select the top folder and click as shown:

6) Click as shown:

7) See image here and download the appropriate files – N820 if you have N820 and N821 if you have N821, by clicking on the file name. Each file is in 2 parts. You will need a program capable of handling .RAR archives:

Whew… That’s not exactly how I planned to spend my evening. Hopefully it helps someone out :)

Disclaimer: You attempt the upgrade at your own risk. These files were not uploaded by me. They were directly added from the links at the Amoi BBS. I simply aggregated the links into a single folder. Neither I nor GizBeat can be held responsible for any bricked phones or blown up houses as a result of trying to upgrade your phone. Cheers ;)
