Hi guys, can anyone help me on how to extract the update.zip that the OTA updater in the phone downloads, for later use? Thanks.
The file is stored in Downloads folder once it gets downloaded.. just copy it off.

Unfortunately that didn't work.
Is file on your phone or computer? What zip program do you use on your computer?
File on computer....tried WinRAR and 7zip.
I know you can open it in winzip and then do a save as and save it as a zip file. Not sure that will help.
Did you use the convert feature in WinRAR?
Is the download corrupt?
I'll try Winzip now see what happens.
WinZip failed too...any help?
What exactly is failing?

"Cannot open file. Does not appear to be a valid archive".
Sounds like it's corrupt. Download again.
Downloaded multiple times...that's why I'd like it if anyone could link me a good file :/
Cmon guys I seriously need help I can't use my phone!
Download playground and kernel and reflash.
I cannot flash the kernel...because I'm on S-OFF and I need to adb push the Wifi module driver...now to do that I need to change the name of the file in the zip. But I can't access the zip...
But isn't the Wifi module in the rom? If you are s-off, download the rom via computer, copy to sd card and flash. Do the same with the kernel. Unless I'm missing something.
The file isn't for unpacking as I remember you just need to edit the filename and remove the .7z extension and copy it over the current one.
It should only be S-ON users that had to do this as I remember too.

Hmm I thought the filename I had to edit was in the actual zip. Thanks...
You can't just rename a 7zip file you need to extract and than re-compress the files into a zip file.

You may also be able to open in winzip and do as a save as and save it as a zip file.
Does someone know where the OTA update file is downloaded, exact location? i have checked /cache and there is update.zip or different file, but phone says update ready with posibility to install update, so for sure zip is downloaded somewhere, but can't find the right location
Thanks in advance
Depends what version you're on.
Early versions 4.2.1 stored in download folder .
Not sure where later version stored

I would suggest to make sure the OTA downloads and then use a file explorer to search your sdcard for zipfiles. One of those should be the OTA, my guess would also be the Download folder.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong here, maybe somebody can tell me if I'm missing a step??
I am trying to install the noticounter widget and can't get it to take for some reason. I have flashed the zip file in TWRP a couple times now (it claimed it was successful, but it doesn't seem to have installed anything.)
Is there some other way of installing this that I am unaware of??

Just install it like any other app, no need to use TWRP.
Either install via ADB: adb install /path/to/app.apk
Or via Wondershare.
Alternate, download APK to your phone, use native BT file transfer and then install file.

I´we never posted any zips, here´s the correct download:
http://lundsoftwares.se/NotiCounter/NotiCounterWidget_v1.0.apk
If it looks like a zip is probably because your unpacking program makes it look like a zip.

I find sometimes when downloading apk file it downloads as a zip. Just rename from .zip to .apk
Then transfer to watch and run it on the watch

Yea, that's what must have happened.
Renaming it as a zip file worked fine however, thanks for the info.
hi
I want ask about OTA Update ,where save that update file and what format zip or oher format ?
or its update directly without save any file ?
OTA's usually are zip files, stored temporarily in the download folder. As soon as the update is finished, the file is deleted.
So it is possible to access it after its download is finished. But as soon as you update, its gone.

Slight correction. IOTA files are usually downloaded and stored in /cache. Not download.
And you need root to access the folder.
Thanks KidJoe

I was assuming on that... I've never actually taken an ota..... But either the M8 or the N5, forget which, stores it in downloads.
Good to know! Thanks! ?
hello i recently went back to stock on my phone and i'm trying to upgrade all way to 5.1.1. After I downgraded I was able to use the phones upgrade option in settings and that got me to 4.4.4 and now it keeps telling me I'm up to date which we all know isn't right. I found a 5.0 .cfg file searching this forum but no info on how to use the cfg. someone said change it to .zip and others replied back with it didn't work. so i'm trying to find the right way to do this without bricking my phone... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have the OF2 or OF3 OTAs?
I am on BOC5 Lollipop 5.0 and I can't install the the 5.11 OTA that was posted above, it starts but after checking the contents fails with an error something like error 7 on package. I wondered if it was because you cant go from my 5.0 OC5 straight to the new 5.11 build?
I want to keep stock but can't update OTA as I'm in the UK. I installed the BOC5 update by downloading the 1.6GB cfg file and renaming it to update.zip and placing on my SD card etc.
