How to install OTA files?

On sammobile these days a few OTA files are available, one like this. Can anybody help how to use this .zip file. The contents of the file are,
1. debug_info (1KB)
2. delta.hidden (856KB)
3. delta.modem (1KB)
4. delta.platform (78396KB)
5. delta.Sbl (1280KB
6. delta.ua (241KB)
7. delta.zImage (4855KB)
FYI these files are not Recovery or CWM flashables.
Above file is an update of firmware to N7000DDLR8 from the previous firmware DDLR6 for indian GalaxyNote. As one can see it includes the firmware files, so be assured that it can be installed. But How???

you can try to rename the file to update.zip and then choose update from recovery. Dont know if this will help but its worth a try.
It gives a signature verification error not sure just renaming it to update.zip would fix it!

You should be on complete stock ROM
non rooted and on unsafe kernel then may it work, and thats is the point to be concern. This work with unsafe kernel as well update also contains unsafe kernel, so anything lead to messing your device, that will be risky to wipe anything. and in this situation you have to first flash safe kernel.
Mobile odin pro added support for flashing OTA files, but unfortunately didn't recognise OTA files which available for india. (this fuction in mobile odin is still on experiments)

use root explorer
2. from adb shell:

chmod -R 0777 /cache (optional)
echo -n "--install_fota" > /cache/recovery/command

try putting the recovery.img in the root directly of your sdcard (the main directory of the sdcard) and see if it finds the file.

[GUIDE] How to update to Android M-Preview-2 from V1 without loosing your data

If you are in M-preview-1 and don't want to lose your dat/apps you can follow this guide, after that, you'll havw M-preview-2 installed and a rooted device.
Firstly, you need to have a pc with adb working. There are several wyas to achive that, but I presume that if you are already in M preview V1, you have it.
Then, you need to have an unlocked bootloader, again I assume that you have it.
======Skip this is you have adb and unlocker bootloader===========
In any case, in linux there is a very trivial way to get both things (probably in windows and mac is more or less the same):
In a terminal:
sudo apt-get install android-tools*
Then plug your N5 to your computer with a usb cable (depuration mode enable), check that everything is working fine:
sudo adb devices
Then;
sudo adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot oem unlock
Then reboot
========================================================
Again, if you are not coming from M-preview-1 I do not recommend this method
1. Download M-preview-2 from this page.
2. Download twrp from here.
3. Create a folder, move twrp to that folder and extract M-preview-2 to the same folder (no sudir, all the files in the same folder), extract again image-hammerhead-MPZ79M.zip in the same folder.
4. Download Despair kernel in your device.
5. Download SuperSU beta 2.49 in your device.
Now, we are ready to flash everything:
6. Open a terminal and cd to the folder where you keep everything from previous steps.
7. Plug your device using a usb cable
8. Type the following commands in the terminal (if you are not in Linux, use the same commands but without "sudo"):
sudo device (just to check that adb ·see your device)
sudo adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ12h.img
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-M8974A-2.0.50.2.26.img
sudo fastboot flash system system.img (this step takes a while)
sudo fastboot flash cache cache.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-hammerhead.img
9. Reboot in recovery (just using the vol up or down and the on buttom).
10. Flash Despair kernel
11. Flash SuperSU
12 Wipe Dalvik and cahe (just in case)
13. Reboot

Of course II'm still testing, but it seems that there is not new bugs (yet).
All I did was edit flash-all.sh, removed the '-w', then run it Anyone who has flashed the first version will already have the tools installed.
I wouldn't recommend using alternate kernels as they won't be designed for preview 2.
does your guys system app crash if you open data usage (set language to something except english) ?

I just did a clean flash via fastboot manually. Booting now. I ain't got time for issues.
Is there a reason the OP links to TWRP 2.8.6.1 instead of the latest version (2.8.7.1)?
Anyone else having trouble flashing the despair kernel? I'm getting assert failed: getprop("ro.product.devices") (Status 7) when trying to flash. I tried sideloading and got the same errors followed by E: Error in /tmp/update.zip. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Any ideas?

I'm still transferring my nandroid backup to my PC and haven't tried yet, but it's possible that the kernel won't flash on preview 2 because it's not yet updated for preview 2. As @TonyHoyle said, it's probably not a great idea to use one until they've specifically been updated for preview 2.

Flashable zip for multirom
flashable zip to use with multirom, please ?
As TonyHole suggested, just remove the -w; basically this will do: (you can do below on a command line as long as you are in the extracted TGZ file and in the hammerhead-MPZ79M folder/directory)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-HHZ12h.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-M8974A-2.0.50.2.26.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot update image-hammerhead-MPZ79M.zip
This works for me no issues as data is left intact but everything else is updated ; suggesting NOT to do this from an Android L to Android M Preview 2 and do a proper wipe
This will rebuild the ART app optimize on reboot
OP: Next time make a guide for doing STOCK update FIRST ; save the kernel and root for a SEPERATE post or a seperate section in the post
Hellscore kernel works great
Clean flash
I don't understand why any one would do a dirty dirty install with a preview no less

The OTA is out and it will do the same process end result as the dirty flash method I did, keeps Data and app rebuild on reboot.

How to flash security OTA update with Nexus Root Toolkit?

Hello!
I looked for this, but can't seem to find a clear answer. The other thread on this is over 3,000 posts (can't look through all that).
I am currently on 6.0.1 with February 1 security update on rooted Nexus 6, stock, with TWRP recovery. I want to apply the latest security patches using NRT....How to?? What is my easiest method to doing this? Thanks in advance, cheers!
The easiest method is not to use NRT. Much as I'm a fan of it, having contributed to Wug several times, the manual method is simpler. Boot into bootloader, start a CMD session, flash system.img & boot.img, and radio.img if you want to be particularly careful, and reboot. Job done. No data loss, everything as normal apart from the new security patches.
If the above isn't familiar, you need to read these forums a lot more. Not trying to be funny - I had to before I had the balls to offer advice to others.

.....with the newest twrp-recovery (v3.0.0.1) it is possible to flash the boot.img and system.img, directly from the internal memory.
so what we do is dl the factory image , extract the boot.img and system.img , drag over to phone internal memory, boot twrp 3.0.0.1 then flash?
"flash the boot.img and system.img, directly from the internal memory"
"boot twrp 3.0.0.1 then flash?"
I don't believe you can install an img file in TWRP, and I've never tried. If you extract everything from the factory ROM image, including the zip within the zip, you'll find boot.img, system.img & radio.img. Copy them across to your PC folder where ADB.exe & fastboot.exe live, open a CMD window, boot your phone into bootloader mode, attach via USB, and separately fastboot flash the 3 img files. Then install TWRP, and from there you can install SuperSU v2.70 if you want to root.
