L04 b141 update how can I apply?

how can I apply the updater after flashing custom recovery (twrp)?

Basically you can't, applying OTA requires stock recovery.
And just one thing, 1.64GB for an update? I mean there isn't much in the changelog

That's cool, but how?!

I was notified about the update on the phone and then just pressed the update now button and it restarted in TWRP and installed by itself

That's great, I'll never have to worry about OTAs

It doesnt work for me , reboot in twrp, search to flash the update and error.. ( not full update, my update is about 616 Mo )

Where does the EMUI Updater store downloaded updates on the phone? I would like to store a copy before rooting (just in case) and haven't found a web download for FRD-L04C567B141.

OK, here is an update. I am rooted with TWRP and have been waiting for the full update package to become available. As of just yesterday the full update package is in the updater app on the phone. You must be connected to wifi for it to appear. Open updater, click on menu on the bottom, download latest FULL package B141. After DL it WILL FLASH THROUGH TWRP but you will lose root and TWRP. Let it do its thing then reflash TWRP through ADB and SU after that and you are good to go on the new update.

OTA storage location?

Does anybody know where the OTA file is being saved in our phone?
I'm downloading the file now but I won't be installing it yet until I put back my stock recovery.

Nevermind. I already found the location. If anyone wants to know, it can be found in data/data/com.zte.zdm/files

Can you confirm the location. I am on 7.1.1 and trying to save the latest OTA (on A2017G). Under /data, I only have a mail directory and nothing else.

They don't use the newest version magisk. Try pulling the zip from their room that contains magisk and flash it. I've tried and had no luck. It would cause the phone to bootloop.

Did you use flashfire or something like that to flash stock recovery? I made a backup in TWRP thought about trying to restore stock recovery with that. I have did it on other phones just not this one.

Usually I just use the backup boot and recovery I have when I installed twrp using tenfar's tool. I flash my backup images in twrp. Then, i use adb sideload to upgrade rather than sd method.

yes, you can still receive and download the OTA like I how figured out the location.
However, you can't update using the downloaded OTA file unless you revert your boot and recovery partitions to stock.

Are you using root explorer? I think you need to download the ota update first but don't install.
Also, are trying to update to nougat? Here's the latest b15 rom on the official site.

OK, finally got it. Thank you so much.

[RESOLVED]December patch update failed.

I am using magisk systemless and I followed the guide carefully to make it survive the OTA. Unfortunately, it doesn't pass step 1 when installing. I did not touch the system the entire time I was using magisk. What other options do I have for me to have the december patch? Thanks.

Follow my guide, might able to help you

after flashing full november rom, you should do normal OTA update . do that before installing magisk again to avoid complications

I'm not sure why it doesn't work on your PC, but maybe you could place the tissot_images folder on drive C root directory.

So it's not the update which caused the problem, but it was you Clear data of play store, play store services and all apps which are broken and set them from scratch. If it won't help, remove and add your google account again. With bit of luck you'll get it working again.

MiFlash is basically a GUI for the batch scripts that come with the ROM when downloaded from MIUI.
You can download the ROM from here and follow the flashing guide linked there or you can do all that work manually.
However, that requires being familiar with command line, fastboot, Windows batch scripts, etc. Here is how to do it, in short:
Install Android's platform tools;
Install the USB drivers required for fastboot;
Download the ROM archive and extract it, and its content;
Inspect and run flash_all_except_storage.bat from the extracted ROM.

I get this error with the same setup (from November update). Does bootloader need to be locked for otas to work? I've tried uninstalling magisk and rebooting to no avail.

Update B562

A new firmware has been added to firmware finder

1. Backup data with hisuite.

3. Unlock bootloader / Flash TWRP oreo version.
4. Flash via TWRP with HuRUpdater_0.3 method.
5. Relock Bootloader.
6. Restore Data.

Thank you.
I wasn't sure if that method works on oreo.
Did you notice anything new?

I installed it via HuRUpdater, but there aren't problems at all except for the fact that it corrupted my stock Android theme.

Firmware Finder just does not work for me. I can't find the files that the phone downloaded and I can't open filelist on thw website. Am I the only one who's experiencing this?

Used this TWRP twrp_bkl_0.7.img thanks to @Pretoriano80
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-view-10/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769917
Aslo note the fastboot commands have changed. The new command is "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img"

Thanks, it worked. But now, it asks me for password. ("Mount - Decrypt Data" is in the header)
I don't have password, only PIN, but that does not work.
Should I ignore that message? I don't mind if it wipes my data.

YES . You can ignore.

Thank you for the lightning-fast help. This TWRP really works.
I flashed this one too, but it didn't work for the first time.
I stucked in a bootloop, but a factory reset in revovery fixed it.
