To what folder does OTA get downloaded?

i would like to know to which folder the OTA's get automatically downloaded.
you see, i have a stock g2, rooted s-off, i have a custom recovery, bacon bits and all that. however, i never updated my phone with an OTA.. and so for a time now i would get an OTA and keep postponing it.. then it would go away again for good.. until recently it started popping up yet again.
so this morning i decided that i would update. my current build is 1.19.531.1 and the update would take me to 1.22.xxx something build.
so i clicked "restart & install" and it restarted and took me to recovery (i have clockwork recovery). but it didnt automatically install the update. so i tried doing it manually within recovery and didnt know which folder to point to.
i ended up rebooting and my build version didn't change, but when i go to system updates it says that i'm up to date now.
can anyone help me out with this?
thank you!

There will be a file in your /cache folder.

In the main OTA thread we found the URL, so you can just download it again manually: http://android.clients.google.com/p...MOUS_2.15.531.3-1.22.531.8_release_197463.zip

WHAT!

Root D6603 on .77 by downgrade, no data wipe

I managed to use giefroot root my D6603 (US version) on firmware 23.0.1.A.5.77 by downgrading to 23.0.A.2.93 without wiping the whole /data.
This is what I did: (Try at your own risk!)
1 Backup the contacts first. The contacts data will be cleared.
2 Use Flashtool to flash D6603_23.0.A.2.93_Generic_20GLOBAL.ftf. Uncheck wipe DATA.
3 Restart the device. There will be lots of annoying force close popups. For me, only two packages were reported closing: android.process.acore and android.process.media. USB debugging doesn’t work either.
4. Just close the popups and go to Settings – Apps – All. Find “Media Storage” and press “clear data” to get rid of FCs of android.process.media. USB debugging should work now.
5. Find “Contacts Storage” and press “clear data”. No more FCs of android.process.acore.
After this, no more FC popups for me. It looked normal on fw 2.93 and I tried many times to use giefroot v2 but failed. It seems like that the system exploit app CVE-2014-7911 will crash android.
6. I tried clearing data of more apps. After clearing ApplicationSettings and ConfigUpdater, giefroot v2 worked! I don’t know which one is the key. Can anyone confirm?
Hope it's helpful for you.
Thanks again! @zxz0O0

I followed your steps and after a few tries i got root. The only thing i did diferrent was that i enabled "Allow mock locations" and it worked.
Thanks @zxz0O0

Yes, you are right. After my steps, one still needs to follow the instructions of giefroot by zxz0O0:
How to use
Download the tool (latest version) and extract it
Start your device and plug it to your computer
Put your device in air plane mode
Run install.bat and follow the instructions on screen
Congratulations! You should now be rooted. If you get an error "Device not rooted", try running the tool a second time.

It worked
This works like a charm. I followed every step to the T and im rooted. Awesome Job.

It worked
thanks for this useful tip. Step 6 was not needed with D6603_23.0.A.2.98_Customized_20DE.ftf and giefroot v2.

I've heard that you can create a pre rooted version of the latest update, is this possible or will I have to stick with the downgrade?

There's already a pre-rooted version which you can flash in recovery

Thanks for this guide!
The only problem I'm having is, once rooted and with the dual-recovery installed, I can't decrypt my device in TWRP. It asks for my password, but tells me it's wrong and just asks for the password again. If I choose 'cancel' it continues but won't load anything off my sd card/internal. So I can't flash the update to .77
Anyone know why this might be?

I seem to have gotten around this for now by using adb push to copy the file to the /tmp folder of my device. I still can't access internal storage, which is a pain, but at least I can finish the steps to get back to .77 (and hopefully Lollipop soon!).

Sorry that I know nothing about the decryption. After a quick search, it seems to me probably a bug of TWRP (github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247).

Yes. Once you root your phone and have the dual recovery installed, you can use the pre rooted image to upgrade to the latest version and keep root.

On the older FW, did you clear the data of ApplicationSettings and ConfigUpdater as well (as in Step 6)?

Friends have achieved to root my phone, it also improves the latest system version and everything is great I put the dual recovery 2.8.2 and of there add Xposed. But after a day in the early morning the phone started to constantly reboot, try to get into recovery mode and freezes with the logo of Sony. turn off and turn on in normal mode, install the recovery again and I wipe cache and dalvik, every normal by day and in the early morning again restarts. PLEASE any solution

Has anyone managed to successfully downgrade from a LP firmware (ex. 690 or .726) back to .93, a KK firmware, without having to wipe using this method?

Use flashtool (From flashtool.net) to flash the downgraded FTF file found in the FTF mega collection thread

Tried this but the same issue as with another procedure I tried.
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Why? I selected which FTF fw file the flashtool should be using, but it's still giving me this error. So strange that no one has had this issue, even though no guide mentions that one needs to install these drivers... :S

Maybe others actually install the drivers then
Goto C:\Flashtool\Drivers
and run
drivers.exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z3 drivers
Then try again. The guides also do not mention that you have turn the PC on, some sort of self help in overcoming errors does help. If it says drivers need to be installed, install them...
PS, also there is never a need to quote the whole OP, I will edit that out for you

Choose the flashmode and fastboot drivers as well

If you are running Windows 8/8.1 you need to allow installation of unsigned drivers.
No problems with rw access if you follow the steps. Xposed installs normaly, as always, no problem installing it.
Rw access to SD is solved by installing SDfix from Market. I did it, and it's working as expected.

[RELEASE] B190 OTA update for Europe (PLK-L01)

PLK-L01C432B190 (for B180): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G939/g104/v51796/f1/full/update.zip
Just put the .zip file in your dload folder and do local update.
This update fixes issues related to icons and input methods and improves system security with the latest Google security patches. [Fixes] Fixed an issue where the Google input method can't be used when the system language is set to Serbian. Fixed an issue where the icon for the calendar downloaded from the Google Play Store and system calendar icon are the same. [Optimizations] Deleted the Huawei browser (with the Google browser remaining unchanged) for a better user experience. All user data from the Huawei browser, except for bookmarks, will be deleted. Bookmarks will be imported to the Google Chrome after you update your device. Improved device security with the latest Google security patches. Deleted quick sharing of application installation packages and images to ensure their legal use. [Update notes] 1. Before the update, make sure your phone has not been rooted. If you experience any issues during the update, please go to http://consumer.huawei.com/ or visit an authorized service center for assistance. 2. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.

Hello,
Did you tried it ? 'Cause except for the security patch, i dont' think this update worth it, am i right ?

I think people who were in that version didn't got any update to B37x.
To my (limited) knowledge B180>B370 excluding betas.

in my case failed at 9% and I do not want to reset phone... staying at b180

Really soo weird, I installed it at once without facing any problem.
It doesn't need a clean B180 rom because I installed it over my usual rom. It wasn't clean.
Something must be wrong in somewhere... but where?

Back here again..
No good news, tried to instal via sd, same issue, fail at 6%
But, but, but there might be a reason, i flashed the sdk21 of xposed, and idk how to remove it.. maybe this is the cause of it....
When you installed, you had to : unroot & put the recovery back ? Or you where "clean"
I'll try tomorrow, with a rest head

Hi,
Hmmm so maybe the xposed package.rar i've flashed made this error
Well, i'll try when i receive the H8
Or maybe i had to put the recovery of B100 instead of B180 :/
Edit 1 : When i check the local.prop, there is "ro.dual.sim.phone=false" or the PLK-L01 is a dual sim, so i don't understand ^^
Edit 2 : Flash with TWRP =
MD5's missing

coming from B180 stock /rooted /xposed.....
1.) i flashed all possible partitions i had extracted (HuaweiExtractor) from B180. (system; cust; boot; recovery)
2.) reboot
3.) i flashed full rom B180 from folder dload (vol up&down&power) to be sure to get really all parts of firmware!
4.) reboot
5.) local update b190.zip from folder dload
6.) reboot
7.) i flashed twrp rc3 with fastboot to recovery partition
8.) had rooted and installed xposed now
all works as expected! Now i am on B190.
at least i had to install some modifications to system again and recover my data partition (twrp)
all in all nearly 1 hour hard work!

Hi,
In fact you just cleaned up your B180 in order to instal the 190 ?
The "real" B180
Pure stock if i could say ? Sure, it will work, but i tried to install it without getting back to stock^^

uff 1 hour to achieve upgrade... pity that I have to do factory reset to make upgrade to b190, no root no open bootloader no changes to firmware despite all this I cannot upgrade normal way... very sad, bad job honor(huawei)

because i had made a backup of my apps and data with the HUAWEI backup app (update to version from PlayStore is necessary!) recovery was easy! Had to remove some blood ware and unused apps only!
then reinstalled PMplus; managed autostart and apps they should stay on if screen is off.
reinstalled my google account
all in all a little bit more than 1 hour like i told you
now i am on b190 rooted; xposed and xprivacy activ on; and of curse Viper4Android for better sound.
real easy!

How did you update it? if you were rooted then you have to flash img files manually first before doing a three button update.

Hi,

I always get update failed.
The update is VKY-L29C432B123.
Thanks in advance!

Why are you trying to install an ota update on a modified phone? You're just asking for trouble really.

Maybe because i want the update and it irritates me when it notifies all the time. It's not your problem if i want to update ?

Still looking for a solution?

Let us know if you find it! :laugh:

Ok.
- Download a full ota with the app "firmware finder" from the play store.
- unpack update.app from the zip file
- extract recovery.img from the update.app with Huawei update extracted (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454)
- flash via fastboot
- the update should work now
- reflash twrp again when needed

:laugh: that link is 4 years old! Are you really trying to tell us that works? In any case I'm on the latest release for my device.

It works

Which recovery are you talking about?
What is your problem now?

The question wasn't why you are trying to update at all but why you are trying to install a regular update on a MODIFIED device, because it should have gone without saying that this can't work!

Ok, jump in the forum...
Just bought my P10plus (6gb/128gb) a few days ago, and surprisingly there is no update for my device(based in the Netherlands) latest update was b123. So how can I install the latest b133 update if I download through the app from play store?
Locked bootloader, no modifications at all.
Thx.
Is it worth to install at all?

Only ways for updating past B123 right now are either through unlocking bootloader or by using Funkyhuawei. For the latter you have to pay though, currently minimum 23$. Imho there is no noticable difference between B123 and B133 though.

I would like to do OTA update on a Rooted P10 Plus as well... with TWRP
I only knew how to root the phone. Took me a while to root, not as easy as my other phones. Thus I don't want to unroot an reroot again.
Though I can wait, I dont really need to get the update installed the same day as OTA.
Is there any way to install it easily?

I hope this helps you guys.

This method from Mate 9 forum works, and it's free (I've flashed like 4/5 OTAs with it).
But it does a factory reset everytime, since you must unlock bootloader, and it becomes locked again with new OTA flashed, so need to backup first.
The oeminfo files for VKY-L09 (single sim), VKY-L29 (dual sim) and VKY-ALL (chinese dual sim) are in the zip, so you have to chose the right one and accordingly be sure to find the right files from hwmt.ru for your device ( i.e. don't try to instal L29 firmware with a L09 branded device ; it should boot, but you'll have a lot of weird bugs and it won't show the right device name in phone infos).
Hope it helps :good: !
