You don't have a computer? This is not going to be an easy thing to do on a phone.

  1. Send your book as an email attachment to friend with a PC.
  2. Ask them to install Calibre Editor (included in Calibre) or Sigil.
  3. Opening and saving the epub file with either program should fix the mimetype issue.
Alternatively, install an Android terminal app and learn how to manually add files to an epub. (You might have to root your Android phone and/or enable superuser mode.)

I would say forget the phone exists. It's going to be too much of a hassle and it may not work.

If you are going to edit eBooks, you need to go out and buy a computer. I suggest a computer that runs Windows 10.
