pressing and holding volume up and down button 1st

then press power key until screen show up

3) now press volume up button phone will be in recovery mod,

press volume up/down to reach available options and

press power button to select them.

4) backup current rom by choosing "backup and restore" and further "/backup"

(A6 stock Rom also available in CWM flashable zip format. can be get from download section below)

after backup complete, go back to main menu

5) select---> wipe data/factory reset
6) select---> wipe cache partition

19) in case if recovery ask to fix something after "reboot system now" selected then press "yes" to fix that.

(i am very much sure nothing will happen wrong if you followed step as mentioned above. however, optional if phone stuck in boot loop or mobile doesn't start properly or does not function properly, consider wipe dalvik cache, factory data reset again after install. otherwise no need of it.)

congratulation enjoy the new look of mobile.
