Process to make a firmware update:

-2- Copy AAAAA.ZIP file from your PC to a SD card
-3- shutdown your BV8000 phone
-3- install the SD card into your BV8000 phone
-4- power on your your BV8000 phone

now here is what going to happen:
- the phone will quicly auto-restart and the screen will be black
- At this step you will be very scared and start to ask yourself if you should not have get an other idea today !!!
- After 30 secondes max a message will show " update is running " ( or something like that )
- Since you are smart and patient you will let your phone does it work ...
- The phone will auto-restart again.
- you are at the last step : it is finished
Sometime you will check if the date of the firmware has changed .... I confirm that update version 20170718 to 20170804 does NOT change the firmware version ( build number ) but i have no idea why !
I suppose the dev has forget to change this but the dev is the best person to confirm this information ...
Hope it helps.
