How to apply zip update files like Hisuite Do it?

I debrand from L19C605B135 to L19C636B150, after I update to the last MM firmware L19C636B190
I notice that exist two B361 (Nougat) firmwares in Huawei servers, the first have 29 december date and the second 30 dec date.
The first firmware changelog, explain the Nougat OS, etc etc.
The second firmware changelog, include power consuption y UI improvements.
I update to first Nougat firmware (29 dec)(with Huawei Updater tool), L19C636B361, all ok, camera, keyboard, etc etc.
Now, I want apply the second update (30 dec), exist posibility of Full or OTA update in Huawei servers.
The Huawei Updater tool read the new firmware but the HiSuite tool present the message that not exist new firmware version. I try it with two posibilities, FULL and OTA. No luck.
I downloaded all zips, for FULL and OTA update.
For OTA update are three files (update.zip, update_hw_spcseas.zip and update_data_public.zip)
Note that dload method not guarantee correct full aplication of firmware update, in the update.zip exist UPDATE.APP file, but exist several more files, in the other zip files include several other files too.
Here the question, How can I do it? help me please
Exist some method for apply these zip files, like the official Hisuite tool do it?
Thanks a lot.

Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/p9-7-0-nougat-update-eva-lo9-b182-t3539754 second post.
Very important paste the correct URL of the firmware (example, L19C636B361, etc)
No bootloader open or root privileges required.
You can find a huge list of firmwares from russian web site: hwmt
Search in google. The warehouse firmwares here in XDA is incomplete.
I cant paste complete URL in the post, I dont have privileges still.
Another way is use the "firmware finder" app. (works searching in the russian web site I think)
Others instructions that apply the UPDATE.APP file directly, not is correct, these update is incomplete and sure that several things doesnt work (camera, NFC, etc etc).

I don't know, but I think OTA updates should be received because bootloader has not been opened, stock recovery.

Android 7

Hello, I try to install the official Android version 7, via buttons dload but installation is up 38% and then fails! *** Does anyone the same problem?

dload method does not always work, I find using the HiSuite and Updater is a much more reliable way of doing force updates.

How the way, is there a topic in the website for? ,

https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70594380&postcount=2
But you need to find the right URL for the firmware you need.

Anyone with B387/B388?

Who has successfully updated to B387 or B388?
Or do we still have to wait for the Full OTA MF-PV?

If you use the OTA DNS method from firmware finder team, its possible to install the OTA-MF version of this.
Note that the firmware is not marked for installation that i can only assume means it's not passed all the QA tests.
I have not yet installed either of these.

I tried to install with firmware finder and update came up succesful but when I check I am still on B386.
I then tried to install the full image it failed.
Can't install the updates via dload method either.

Obtaining files for OTA update with Samsung with Magisk root?

I am looking into updating my S9+ to Android 9.0. The Magisk guide suggests use of FlashFire which I've managed to get up and running on my device, but the issue I have run into is I am unable to get my phone to even download the OTA files required for the update due to Samsung anti-root measures.
I found a website ("firmware.science") which provides these OTA files from firmware x to y but only US phones ("G965U" for the s9+) seem to be supported by the website.
Is there per chance any way trick to download these files elsewhere? I ran a debug on my phone and scanned through the logs to see if my phone was connecting to the update servers in the background but no luck. For the reference my current firmware is G965FXXU2BRJ3.
Thanks in advance.

Why not just flash pie and then reroot cause even with flashfire it doesn't flash protected partitions the bootloader or modem so your wifi and baseband would of been broken anyway

Question How to update to Android 12 from version 30.12.112.82?

Hi, I'm not able to upgrade my Zenfone 8 to android 12. My current version is 30.12.112.82. Which .zip do I have to download? Thanks.

You can try this:
Go to https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-12-Beta/ and scroll down to "How to opt-out and revert back to Android 11". Download the file and follow the 3 steps.
After you reverted back, download "Version WW-30.12.112.72" from official website, install it and than download the newest Android 12 image from official website.

Thanks. But how the hell is possible that I have to do all this things just to update to Android 12?
I'm on latest A11 why can't I just update?

It seems that ASUS is still polishing the A12 update. You have the bad luck that you are on a firmware version that doesn't support the direct update to Android 12.

download the file from asus support website this is the link for the latest android 12 : https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...06D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.92-1.1.25-2112-user.zip
put the file in your main folder on the phone, restart the phone and the system should recognize that there is a system update file. if you want to go back to android 11 there is a firmware file to go back: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...06D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip
same steps as before

Yes, I followed this instructions and worked fine:
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page
Plug in your phone to your computer, make sure the computer is trusted and that you can transfer files from the PC to the phone.
Move the zip file of the update in the base directory of the phone (The same directory as Alarms, Downloads, etc).
Wait for the transfer to finish, then you can unplug your phone if you want.
Reboot the phone
After the reboot, the phone will take a few seconds/minutes and will notify you that an update file was found, select the option to update the phone
It will then extract the update and install it all by itself, the normal update procedure starts from there

Hey, this is the wrong thread, but the procedure should be the same as on Android 11, follow the instructions from this article: https://www.getdroidtips.com/root-asus-zenfone-8-zs590ks/, or you can do it with TWRP by sideloading the magisk apk (idk if it matters, but I renamed mine from .apk to .zip)

Thank you for the reply. The Zenfone is pretty good, but not on T mobile. It lacks 3 key 5G bands. So I returned it
