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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

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!

OTA update file for 3.2, version 8.6.5.9

Not sure what this update includes, but someone here should be able to figure this out, I imagine this will break root, so don't apply just yet =]
http://www.multiupload.com/3TL5ILBH8E
Edit: i have confirmed this will not apply to rooted devices.
Link to thread with changelog: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041502
DEVELOPMENT USE ONLY!!

That file is the US update file, right?

anyone got this flashable for root devices?!
Also at OP can you please update the threads Title and add 8.6.5.9 in it?

yes this is the US update file

the "flashable root" version would be PRIME 1.8.2, thats the closest you'll get. There is no stock + superuser on any ROMs yet.

If your device isn't rooted, go to settings, about tablet, then click firmware update up top, and it will install this update, if your device is rooted this file is useless to you since you need to unroot to apply it until someone mods it for rooted devices. Good luck!

Where should i put the zip file?

If you rooted you cannot apply this, you need to unroot (head over to the development threads or google "unroot asus transformer xda" then after you have unrooted simply go into settings, about device, then click firmware update and it will apply this update, then simply re-root =] there is currently no way to apply this otherwise to my knowledge

hey
Mine is not rooted but ia still cannot update . What need to be the file name?
Thanks

it is supposed to be in /cache and named the same with the .zip removed, however I don't believe you can place it in that location without root so just update as instructed in the above posts

I need some help. The update popped up for me yesterday, but I was rooted. So I proceeded to follow the steps to unroot my device, and got it all working again. Now I can't get any updates to appear for me. I even tried to manually check for updates, it says none, but I'm still on 8.6.5.6.
Any ideas?

No idea, did you manually search for the update?

Sure did. Just keeps saying no updates currently available. I JUST had an update waiting before I unrooted, and now nothing.

Same problem here.
WW device

Well that is weird... have you tried rebooting then searching for the update again?
Sorry for the late reply, I have been busy with my other thread, alot of people want to make their devices louder I guess. As far as updating you could also check with the Asus website, they might have the update with instructions.

Ya, I've tried rebooting aswell. Not sure what to do now. May just re-root and stick with 5.6 until something gets worked out/somone finds a cure. Not sure what I've done Thanks for the help though

Unroot S4 mini (already on stock rom)

Hi I can find loads of guides to unrooting when stock rom needs flashing, but I am already running stock rom so don't really want to go thought the hassle of losing everything again.
I read a post that said I need to delete SU binary, but tried with root explorer and it wont let me delete it says it's read only
Any tips on how I can unroot when I am already on the correct official rom?
Thanks

Do you have a custom recovery installed? That will stop it. You may have to Odin back to complete stock to get it to update
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that, that makes sense. I was so close it let me do the update with Kies and rebooted, appeared to work just fine but killed my wifi, wont even let me turn wifi on strange...

OK so there was no shortcut, without a part brick so I had to re-install in Odin, thanks anyway for you help

I am stuck :/

I installed the Ale95 port rom on my GTI9500. I by mistake wiped the internal storage.Now in TWRP 2.8.7.0. it does not recognise the SD card and the internal storage does not mount via computer..it shows insert storage.
I tried CWM and faced same issue
Sideload does not work with TWRP and CWM show STATUS 7 error with sideload.
I am now ready to flash stock firmaware via odin but I dont know my PDA code that is shown in SamMobile website.
Please help please.
ThankYou

You can flash any ROM as long as you phone is not carrier locked.

Having searched with no luck so far, has anyone got a working root for the SM-J530F yet?
Thanks in advance.

This device is very new, so you should wait for people to start work on it. If you have any knowledge, start by making a custom recovery or similar

Was The root successful? Works the root with no Problems?

The root works. The correct procedure is: wipe data from recovery. Don't boot the Phone and go directly into download mode. Root the phone
