[Solved] redownloading an update? - Huawei P Smart Guides, News, & Discussion

[Solved] So i was gonna download the december update but mid-download my wifi decided to suck. When the connection came back the download just resumed.

Can somebody pull the update file off their phone for the rest of the community? You have to do this before you install update. Basically what the phone does is download the update to a temporary directory on your phone and then installs the update. Once updated the phone then deletes the update file.
Your phone will download the update file.
It will ask you to install the update, DON'T press Cancel and DON'T press Update, instead hit the home button (don't worry it will ask you again later).
Open your root file manager, go up to the root directory and go to /cache/fota/ and copy the zip file from your phone to your computer. This zip file is the update file.
Upload the file and post the link for the community
Wallow in all the "Thanks" you will receive
IMPORTANT: You must grab the update file before your phone updates or the file will be deleted.
EDIT: Information about copying the update file can be found in this post by @thatbigmoose

Had the same problem. Do I have to return to stock and un-root to install the update?

I had the same problem, as well. Went through download, then restarted. Seemed to restart overly quickly, then saw that I was still on 4.2.2. Is there a log file somewhere that I can look at?
I will try and pull it off my wife's phone tonight!
Has anybody on MI2 been notified of an update? I'm guessing not since MI2 was a pre-release so it would be interesting to see if someone has.

I am on the MI2 leak rooted no OTA notification . Says up to date
I'm guessing I won't see OTA if I am on Tmo's network??
We are not left behind!
I can confirm, from Indiana, that the 4.3 update has come to the S4Active OTA.
Just gave it a try and I got the update downloading even though I'm on Tmo's network! Yes!! Wasn't working before cause I remember I removed KnoxAgent.apk and wssyncmldm.apk but I put those back and it's all good

nevermind, I'm not rooted so I can't access the file
I'll have it uploaded within the hour to Dropbox unless someone beats me to it. I'm at 50% right now.
Upload took a little longer than I thought. Also file is .cfg and not a .zip from the OTA. But it will still run on phone through update. I'll post link and screenshots as soon as the file uploads.

How to delete the OTA update file?

Hello,
The Sony update center downloaded Lollipop automatically, the problem is that I want to keep root so I will flash it through Flashtool, now I have this update file taking up more than 1GB and I don't know where it is... Do you have any idea?
Thanks
I have the same problem,did you find the update file?I deleted one that was inside the recovery folder, same size,same date of download...

Resolved Missing apps

I've resolved the mistery of missing apps after update to 370 or 371. you need to change your drawer from settings
How to do:
Settings> Home Style> Drawer
tested by me all apps like calc and co will be appear
Thank you for the suggestion, but calc and so on (I cannot even know the list of missing apps) are nowhere to be found, even in Drawer view!
I just updated from L31C432B161 to 371.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Eric.

I don't know, this was my experience. after upgrade home was without some apps and i've resolved in that way.
According to me you have to downgrade to MM (there is a guide in the forum) and to upgrade with the OTA that was released for all, (so don't do it manually). good luck

Thanks! I did however proceed with the OTA update (not manually through SC card), but it seems that there are several versions of the update. One is 1.25GB and is missing some apps and gives bluetooth problems, another version is 1.99GB and seems to be OK!

Thank you, but I believe it is not the same: on the forum we have on one side the update.app and on the other side the data_full, and I believe maybe you haveone 1.9GB file with the full package? Maybe I am mistaken!
You Need the data_full
Yes I do, but I thought it would be cool if someone could upload the whole package.
I will try to install the data_full through dload on SD card.

I did not try in the end... I tried to dload B370 but it does not work because "incompatible version". I should try to OTA or dload B371 and then dload data_full, but I guess it will not work since it is for B370, not B371 and I am fed up with restoring all data on my phone for now!
I think I will way a bit until the official OTA comes out or someone else finds a solution. :/
I downgraded from B161 to B160 and was able to download B370 (1.9GB).
Downloading as I speak.

1.99 package are two separate files. when the program is downloading 1.99 it is downloading 2 files. so it's the same for you to flash only the data_full

Thank you @cmax24, I solved my problem by rolling back from B161 to B160 through dload, then MyCare found B370 (1.99GB) and... voilà! I was not able to take a look at the downloaded file(s), as I proceeded with the update immediately and the files were consequently deleted. :/
Thanks for your help!

My device is the FRD-L09C185B403
Why haven't I got the Oreo update with EMUI 8 yet...other models of honor 8 seems to have got it.
Is there anyway I can get an update without complex procedures like rooting and flashing.

Wrong build number - How to reflash ?

Hi !
I have a NEM-L51C432. I recently installed the new update available (B357) using Huawei Firmware Finder.
Due to some issues, I then decided to rollback to a previous build using the dload method. I succeeded, although I can't recall if the one which worked was B350 or B355.
The problem is, my build is still B357 in the "About phone" menu even though I have the March security patch.
I also noticed that the clock app is missing. Moreover, I get a notification telling me that apps are non-compatible with my phone when I install/update them, even though they work fine.
I can't update system apps (like Chrome or WebView for instance) due to different signature.
I have no idea if these things are related.
So, can someone please tell me how can I get my phone to display the correct build number and eventually correct the other issues in the process ? I'm ready to wipe and re-flash if I have to.
Side question, when I download from HFF in order to use the dload method, most of the time I have the choice between one, two, or even three zips to download.
Each contain a UPDATE.APP file, but I don't get the same files when I extract from it, depending on the zip I downloaded.
Can someone explain me this as well as which file I should prefer (update.zip or one of the other two if available) ?
Thank you.
You need to flash all 3 files via dload.
There is a detailed quide in my signature for dload method. You can flash b350/355/357 or above using that.

Thank you for your answer.
Do you mean I need the three zips from HFF ? For instance, if I try to download B355, I have the choice between these :
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G1581/g104/v84990/f1/full/update.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...90/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/...l/NEM-L51_hw_eu/update_full_NEM-L51_hw_eu.zip
They all have a UPDATE.APP within them, but they don't have the same files when I extract. What should I do ?

Okay, thanks.
Today I tried re-flashing the update.zip file of all versions via dload, even MM versions. In the end, the only one which worked was the FullOTA-MF-PV of NEM-L51C432B350. All other versions failed to install at 5 %.
I don't know if this is related, but this is the only update which is available as "PV", whatever that means.
In any case, as I said in my first post, my build number is still B357 (while it should be 350) and I don't have the Huawei clock app. Some system apps are impossible to update as well. Plus, this will probably cause issue with future updates...

Pv is something you can flash via twrp. Regarding misssing apps, flash the smaller file, around 600-800 MB, via twrp and it will restore apps, themes, fm radio etc.

Can't flash the update.zip with TWRP (at least, with OldDroid's). However, I did managed to get back missing apps by flashing the second zip file, thank you about that.
Doesn't work with the third one though, and my build number is still wrong. Any idea about how to fix this ?

Which build number you flash and which is the one showing?
yes, only 2nd file will work and bring back the missing apps.

In the end, I solved the issue by extracting the VERSION.img file from the UPDATE.APP of the third zip and flashing it with TWRP.
I then updated to B355 and B357 with HFF proxy.
Weird thing is, the B357 update re-locked my bootloader and when I unlocked it again, I was stuck with an old version of Google Play Services which couldn't be updated (different signature issue). Luckily, I had a backup from the previous update but this is weird.
Thanks for your help. You've done a lot.

Security Update OPSS27.104-92-2

I am getting a nag screen to update to opss27.104-92-2 but I can't because I have rooted the phone. I noticed a similar question about the last update and there was a way to manually do the update. Does anyone know where to get the files for this security update so that I can do a manual install.
Alternative, does anyone know where the file is stored on the phone once it is downloaded? If I can find the file then I can probably unzip it and do a manual install.
Thanks

You can't unzip it and try to apply it. It doesn't work that way. You either have to wait until a full firmware package with this update in it is released or reflash a stock system that matches the one you're on. You would need to flash the entire stock firmware. Then you can boot back to the system and take the update normally.

There won't likely be a way to install an update on rooted stock. You have to fastboot flash the firmware you're currently on (to remove modifications to system, boot.img, etc), then take the update. That IS the manual method. It should be stored in /cache. The /cache that's in the root directory of the phone. Which G6 do you have?

When I talked about doing the update the manual way, I was talking about doing it the way it is described in this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g6/help/security-update-to-opws27-113-45-4-wont-t3818421
Hopefully, someone will extract the relevant files from the update and give instructions on manually doing the update. I really wouldn't call restoring the device to stalk and taking the automated update and then re-rooting the manual way. I would call that the hard way.

That thread literally says install the stock firmware. You have to wait for the entire firmware for the new build to be released. no one is extracting anything from any update package. They are just using the full firmware package in that thread. You just have to wait for the full firmware to be posted on mirrors.lollinet.com the November patch for my G6 play was just posted there yesterday. that's why I asked which version of the G6 you have I will link you to the full firmware.
Or, You just fastboot flash stock, take the update, fastboot TWRP, use TWRP to flash magisk. No data loss, easy peasy.
the only difference in those two ways is taking the update after you flash stock or flashing stock firmware including the update. Either way you have to root your device again.
You can even flash stock with RSDlite using service file.xml instead of flashfile.xml
the file they are flashing with fastboot in that thread is the stock firmware. Just the newer one.
I was browsing for firmware today, the newest build/security patch is available on the lollinet Moto under Ali fw

The question is can i use different software channel for my G6? Example 1925-6 to 1925-7 to gain particular service carrier signal
