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!

Thanks man, I dont need rootfor this right?
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 =]

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?
Should i leave it with it current name?

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?

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
So i've been tearing my hair out for the past few hours trying to figure this out.
I've been trying to get my Galaxy S4 to update to 4.3, the newest 727.56MB update. I have tried to download and it downloads, reboots, and then loads to 25%.
I have tried deleting all of the busybox files in /system/xbin as well as uninstalling/full unroot on SuperSU.
I have, on top of that, ALSO done a factory reset, and STILL to no avail!
I don't know what to do at this point and am furious that I cannot get updates from AT&T if my device is rooted.
I still have the stock recovery on my phone, and no longer have root because I uninstalled it. (I rooted my device using the exFAT SDcard method a few months back in July)
So, if ANYONE could help me out that would be GREAT. I am so confused and now have a fully clean phone with all my information gone from it.
And, yes, i'm pretty sure that I can't update OTA anymore, but can ANYONE please tell me how to update then?! Please.
Thanks guys, hope to hear from anyone soon.

How can i install the ota update?
I´ve unlocked bootloader, twrp and root.
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.

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.
https://www.getdroidtips.com/huawei-p10-plus-b160-nougat-firmware/
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: !

Hey !
have you read other posts before requests for help ?
There are a lots about.
Use Huawei Firmware Finder app to try to upgrade, go for B362 FULL OTA MF PV first
and if don't succeed try with B362 FULL OTA MF one.
All the info are inside the app.
Upgrade manually should be possible with Meticulus TWRP v4,
but it is very dangerous because of bricks, and i don't reccomend you to do, but
phone is yours and if you don't succeed with FF you could give a try... (be carefull)
Good luck ! :fingers-crossed:

For example yesterday i tried with the app of huawei firmware and i use the dns method, downloading the upgrade and then when its going to install fails at 1% and i have to reboot the phone. I dont know what its happening. Also i tried to instal manually with the dload carpet method and also reach to 5% of the upgrade and fails.

Well, dload method won't work to upgrade to android 7.
Try the versions i suggested you.
Follow correctly the procedure inside the app,
try with vpn method.
Select the update, verify it with your imei and launch the download.(edited)
Look inside your inbuild updater if an update is offered.
If yes download till 5% and press pause. Now stop vpn, then continue with inbuild updater.
You should be able to upgrade..
edit: verify the update with imei and select the method (vpn)

Damn... are you full stock ? do you switched between roms ?
Maybe your current firmware aren't able to upgrade
and need an intermedie firmware such as this one - VNS-L23C605B120CUSTC605D126
(i think is for dual sim but not sure, check with imei first and really don't know if will work).
If let you update to this firmware you should look forward for android 7.

So you did it ? Yeahh that's a good new !!
Dude update the same way you already done with FF. Try with latest rom...
In FF, in search tab type only VNS-L23C605 and you'll see all the available firmwares.
Select B394 FULL OTA MF (2.07gb size), use the vpn method, register and use inbuild updater.
As i can see this should be the latest fmw for your device with july 2018 security patch.
The other way to update is using Huawei Recovery Updater, you easily find here on XDA,
but you need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. Better use FF directly.

If even can't make an update you can still use one of the HWOTA methods
or use Huawei Recovery updater, you find all here on XDA.
