Help update Vodafone 875 (4.1.1.)

Hi guys!
I have a problem updating a friend's phone (a Vodafone 875, aka Smart Mini). The phone has 4.1.1, stock, and I have the option to update via OTA to the "110HUG1" update (I guess it's 4.2.2 update), but everytime I press the download option it goes to recovery automatically, and it gives me the error: "Update.zip is not correct. Instalation aborted."
Can someone plesase help me update it. The 4.1.1 has quite a few annoying bugs and the battery drains really fast.
Every help is appreciated!
Thanks.

the first three on the bottom are all or current versions, but the two on the top are the new ones, if I choose one of those:
digging into each firmware, there's 4 files:
I download it using the phone firmware finder option and it downloads to here:
did someone knows how to install it from here? I think I should move it to the root folder and restart the phone but I'm not sure, can someone points me on how to do it?
thanks

if your device runs perfectly without ANY bugs,like theme manager not working from previous upgrades,
DONT DO IT
a lot of people that have upgraded via FF,ended with some defects in the firmware...
wait for OFFICIAL OTA

Blackscreen after flashing stock rom

After testing LineageOS over the weekend I wanted to go back to stock EMUI, so I downloaded the newest firmware from Team MT (FullOTA v167421) and flashed it via TWRP. That went through without any errors so I rebooted the phone and now I got nothing.
Basically whats described in this thread. (/huawei-p8/help/huawei-p8-black-screen-adb-recovery-t3663103 ;sorry, cant post links)I can't enter the bootloader, when connected to the PC neither adb devices, adb wait-for-device, nor fastboot-devices show anything. The only sign of life I have is in the device manager.

For anyone with the same/similar problem: I didn't find a solution for this, gave up and sent it in.

Root doesn't make your phone unable to patch just by being rooted. It comes from being detected. If you rooted with magisk and didn't go crazy editing it's likely successfully hidden. Even if it's not perhaps your phone downloaded it pre emotively before you rooted and the timing is just coincidence.
If you take the update you may lose root though

I'm using the recommended SP flash tool for the 310/320, Every time I try to run it, after a few seconds I get this error
This is apparently caused by a bad scatter file, but I've downloaded so many "stock" roms off the internet at this point (I'm wondering how many are viruses), all of which fail, that I'm beginning to think something else in the phone is broken at this point.
Anyone have any suggestions?
