My moto g 2014 XT1068 just finished downloading the Lollipop update. Before I go ahead and install it I am looking to save the downloaded file and was wondering if anyone knows the folder path where it is stored? I'm hoping to save the file for future use in case I run into trouble with the installation and so I can share it with other people who didn't yet receive the update. Any help locating the file (using ES file explorer) will be much appreciated
Look in
Code:

Thanks but Device/Cache shows as an empty folder. I double checked that the 'Show Hidden Files' is turned on but still nothing. Could it be somewhere else? thanks

You will need root access for that

Also make sure to enable the Root Explorer feature in ES File Explorer.

Thanks for hanging in there with me. I enabled root and verified with simple root checker (shows that Terminal is Rooted and Busybox not installed) but cache still showing as an empty folder. I also tried Astro file explorer with the same result. My notifications tray is showing the update ready for install so the file should be on my phone. It's probably unrelated but I have also enabled Developer Options and USB debugging. I've previously rooted and I have TWRP on the phone so I won't be surprised if I run into some trouble with the update (I'll unroot again prior to updating). It would be great if I found a way to save the downloaded installation file before going through with the update.
Any other suggestions will be much appreciated

Don't think it'll work on our device. And if it did work for the fascinate you would prolly need to be on a touch wiz rom as well.
good day.

What Chopper said could be true. At any rate try this:
Long press on your file
Hit extract
Go to the extracted folder
Long press on your extracted file
Hit move or copy
Navigate to system /app folder
Hit the system rw if necessary
Paste the file
Re boot

I have a different app but same problem. I have ES File Explorer I can copy the file but when I get to system/app I have not been able to figure out how to paste the file. Anyplace I do the long press in system/app there is an app that it thinks I'm wanting to do something with and I don't get the paste option. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay so I figured out how to paste it and it wasn't allowed. No I can't find the apk at all. I have even cleared cache and tried to re-download and I get the Ballero-2.apk actually I am up to Ballero-5.apk and can find none of those either.
un-rooted, microSD card, Go Launcher, ES File Explorer, HomeCatcher
Thanks again for your help.

Es file explorer is not as consistent when it comes to giving you root access, which is what you need to paste in system, app. Imo, root explorer is a must.
Edit; although I read that you can obtain that permission somewhere in the es file explorer settings

Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me

Hey guys! So I successfully managed to root my Galaxy S Advance running stock 4.1.2 Jellybean (Italian firmware I9070XXLQL) and installed SuperSU and TitaniumBackup. I was uninstalling unnecessary bloatware using a couple of lists made by other forum members. One of the apps I deleted was called MTP Application 1.0 (I think?) because it is only required for connecting to a computer via Kies and I don't use that anymore (Android File Transfer all the way!) But now my phone does not get recognised by AFT at all. Unfortunately I'm a klutz and forgot to make a backup of the application before deleting so now it cannot be recovered. Can someone possibly provide me with the APK? It is a system application and I have granted root access to ES File Explorer. Just need the application itself. Thanks!
Edit: I've already searched online and can't find the APK anywhere on the Internet.
Here you go. I attached the file. I use xxlql deodexed and pulled this from the preload partition. I think you must put this apk in the app folder on preload partition and give it permissions. Good Luck.

Hi. Can you give instructions on how to install the APK? Like which folder to put it in and how to give permission?
Thanks so much!

You must be rooted. Once you are done rooting your device you must install root explorer or es file explorer. Then grant root permissions to that app. Now move the apk file to preload/app folder in root of the device. Then choose properties of the apk file and set permissions. You can youtube the procedure. Good luck.

It's still there just use a different file manager.. I use root Explorer and it's in /sdcard/Android/obb if you are using the stock file manager, it may not let you see it.

Well we can just make it then! Lol.. What did you need the obb type for?
I used to do this on my Galaxy S5, way back in the day. I would use Root Explorer to copy a .ogg file that I converted from a .wav file to the root/system/media/ui folder.
I'm trying to do the same on my G6 after rooting. I have full root. Magisk is installed and updated to the latest version. I have Root Explorer and BusyBox installed.
However, this is the issue: when I try to paste the copied file the folder referenced above, it stays on the copying dialog box and never advances. It normally shouldn't take over 5 minutes to copy two files, with a combined file size under 5mb.
If anyone is able to help, it would be greatly appreciated.

After trying different file managers with root access, I found Root Manager. It successfully copied the files over and let's me change their permissions. I confirmed they are the right files by copying back and playing them in a media player.
However, now the system won't play the files during the appropriate action.
It's not playing every system sound, even stock ones, and I don't know why.
