You can just jump to c636b190.
You need to download the file and extract the dload folder which contains the update.app file. Place the folder in the home direction in your phone's internal storage and then go to Settings > Updater > Menu > Local update.
All languages are supported in all roms.
One thing I'd like to ask is if this rom (c636b190) is android v5.0.2 or not.. Because my phone came with that one installed and I liked it pretty well, then decided to go for Marshmallow but I was disappointed by it and then got my device softbricked. Luckily, I had TWRP installed and I flashed a custom ROM. Now i reflashed the stock Huawei recovery and via ADB sideload I ended up with the first, stock Lollipop firmware (5.0)
If you have any other questions, I am here to answer because I have good experience in installing updates and flashing roms.
I can't get the rollback to work at all because I want to go back to lollipop to root and unlock bootloader but the error I get is at about 4% after it verifies then fails PLEASE HELP and I'll give likes and stuff
Can anybody provide me with a tutorial how to flash B301 update which can be found via Firmware Finder for BTV-W09C100 version? I tried it once but came up with bricked tablet. Fortunately I was able to fix it after 2 days of research. That is the reason for step-by-step tutorial.
Last question: How is that even possible that B301 update can be only downloaded via Firmware Finder app and not via Settings->Update? Is it beta? Can anybody explain it to me? I am new to Huawei products.
Thanks guys
Hi!
B301 is an internal test build. I couldn't find a way to flash it properly, neither stock ways nor using unlocked bootloader and twrp (the update consists of two parts each with a different flashing method).
Better wait until official update appears.

To update to Nougat.
You have to first update to next higher version firmware than what you have and then go to Nougat. I read on some Italian forum that you should not update directly to Nougat. For example: if you have B009 then you have to select next higher version which is B010 and then update to nougat. But they advised against directly updating to nougat firmware from any version. For your model I don't know the exact firmware version but you can check in firmware finder.
(check your about page to find out the exact firmware version for your model)
How to use firmware finder?
Inside the firmware -> go to settings-> switch on the option -> add on proxy
Now go to your Wi-Fi settings
Tap and hold your Wi-Fi connection
You should get two options
Select "modify network"
Select - "manual" option
Then add the below in the respective fields
Proxy - > localhost
Port -> 8080
That's it. Save the settings. If you don't see the update here then go to firmware finder and select the firmware you want to download (select the next higher version than your existing firmware- > click on "send firmware to updater" . And then go back to updater in settings and check. you should see the OTA to update.
Now go to settings - > updater-> you should see update for your tablet there.
Once you are done with the update, again go to updater.
Now you should see the update for B301. This is more than 2 gb.
Just click on update and wait for it to finish. It will reboot twice. Wait for it to finish optimizing the system.
You have Android nougat now on your BTV-W09
Operating system is gorgeous. It is very similar to what I found on Huawei mate 8.
Nougat is beautiful on this tablet. Working excellently.
Some more steps here and many important posts in this thread -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71955984&postcount=23 Check the link to Huawei website to get your rollback package if something goes wrong. Mostly it won't but if you don't like nougat then you can return to marshmallow with the help of rollback package using dload method.
Have fun updating. I would recommend updating to nougat without any hesitation.

This would work if the update was a full rom, but the test nougat build we have got consists of 2 separate zips, and data cannot be flashed after the core nougat zip (for example the updater app is missing from the core zip, it's part of the second data zip)

It will work just fine. I already updated using this method on my tablet and there are others too who did this successfully in the other thread.
After downloading in firmware finder you have an option to push it to updater. That will ensure both zip files are extracted and the update is sent to the updater as one file.
So I can confidently say that this is a working method and because of the steps that I mentioned in my previous post I was able to update my tablet. Otherwise my tablet would still be in marshmallow. But no, my tablet is updated to nougat now.
So I would suggest you and every one to please give a try. It will work. Please follow the steps correctly. Procedure is very smooth.

I just did it this morning with this method on my BTV-W09C128. I had happen what TaRsY mentioned. I no longer have updater app in settings anymore. Otherwise everything is running great. I'm hoping when the update becomes official in the US I can do a full update through recovery somehow

The one in the first post. Unfortunately also realized Bluetooth isn't working. Trying to find a way to roll back for now

Thanks for the reply. I figured that out after asking you. I've already updated Nougat using this method.
I do not use bluetooth very much myself. So it not working is not much of an issue for me.
However, if you find a way to roll back please share for those of us that have made the jump.
Thank you.
My Model is BTV-W09C128 and when I search for firmware I can only see BTV-W09C128B003. How do I get it so I can see the B301 version?

Hello everybody! My phone has downloaded the official Pie update, but I don't want to install it. So now it's just sits somewhere with 1,2GB, and I want to delete it. I'm on stock Oreo on SamsGal A6 plus, without root or any mod. Any advice where can I find and how can I delete this image file? Thanks in advance!
I have a Galaxy note 9 running 8.1 and would like to stay there. My phone is the T-Mobile branded one. Unfortunately it seems that my phone has downloaded the OTA update to pie and is asking me to install it. I clicked "Later" but I'm afraid that won't last forever. How can I delete the downloaded data and also disable the update from happening in the future?
I am a complete novice when it comes to software stuff so things like "flashing" memory etc may be beyond my scope unless it's very simple. I do follow instruction well though
I understand that I am forgoing security updates and I'm ok with that. After finishing up with a Galaxy S7 that was painfully slow on its last update and having it eat battery, I'd like to stick with the original software. There are other things like the camera app, layout, etc. that I'd just rather stick to.
Aside from rooting the phone, is there any way to just kill the update program? How can I delete the downloaded update to free up memory? I read someplace that rebooting the phone would install the update - so do I need to factory data reset and start over? (I just got the phone so I'm ok doing that)

you may have a couple of options.
I have heard that if you reboot in to the bootloader mode and clear cache then it will get rid of the downloaded firmware update.
I'm not sure.
you can download package disabler pro and disable the update services. I went back to oreo after pie update was horrible.
in package disabler pro follow the directions to enable it
search in the app for "update"
I disabled
"Software update" (com.sec.android.soagent)
"Software update" (com.wssyncmldm)
"System updates" (com.samsung.sdm)
No more updates or notifications
Good luck

You can flash the unlocked 8.1 oreo ROM and it will remove the ability to receive updates all together. it will also remove all the bloatware from tmobile. You will have to flash this with odin. After downloading the .zip ROM, Unzip it and flash all 4 files.
You want the XAA download.

You still need package disabler pro or some kind if service blocker.
I down graded to Oreo on two devices using XAA and I still got firmware update messages for pie. Once I set up the phone.
Blocking the services keeps the phone from checking and downloading the update.

Easiest thing to do is to flash a different version modem for your device. Just flash the previous version modem file with Odin and you'll be set. If you want ota again, just flash the modem for your device matching the software update your device has installed.
I was on Oreo running the Pie modem and never got the Pie ota alert.

My phone has already downloaded the update and is prompting me to install it. If I flash or run a package disabler at this point will it be effective? How can I erase the update data so it isnt eating space? Do I need to factory reset the phone first to wipe all that out before I flash or run disabler?

You could try clearing cache like an earlier poster suggested.
Updating from an update fileI have been seeing a lot of posts about people not receiving the OTA on their phone, and got tired of linking my instructions, so I decided to make a separate post
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page (Note that if you are not on the latest Android 11 firmware (30.12.112.72), you will not be able to Android 12. So you need to do these steps with the latest Android 11, and then re-do them for the Android 12 firmware)
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
not work for me :/
I've spent a couple of hours yesterday to get this thing working. Basically, the Android 12 update will only update from specific image. I will try to describe the whole process below.
You have to do this process to upgrade all the way up to 30.12.112.7. If you have anything else, it won't work.
First, I've reverted back to stock, using
WW-ZS590KS-31.0803.0403.54-user_20210831-release.zip
... which contains the full flash scripts.
In my case, I had to do these delta upgrades manually (so copying the zip to root of sdcard memory).
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.56-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.62-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.72-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.81-1.1.25-2111-user.zip
Number 4 is actual android 12 update. Hope this helps anyone.

I think that what is needed is to update to the latest firmware, then Android 12. So if you are already on Android 11, but not latest firmware, install it with the instructions, then do the same to update to Android 12's latest version.

The android version I currently have is 30.12.112.72
I downloaded version 31.1004.0404.81 from the asus site to have android 12 on my zenfone 8.
I copied the folder without extracting it and put it in my phone's internal storage next to the other folders.
Once the copy was finished I restarted my phone so that it offered me the update but it did not offer it to me.
I do not understand why .

It also depends what prefix your installation has. See the first letters
UL-...
If you are from some other region, it could be that UL- is not a fitting upgrade option for you. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to tell which of the versions you have.
I give you the build number which is marked in the software information:
RKQ1.2021022.002.30.12.112.72
I have the right version or not suddenly?
Thank you for the quick tutorial. I was doing this via fastboot till now.
However: I upgraded to the latest firmware BEFORE Android 12. No issues.
Then I upgraded to the Android 12 firmware: stuck. Gave me some kind of ram dump, reboot returned me to the same error: bootloop. I was able to reboot and get to the bootloader. After selecting "recovery" it actually booted Android. And now for the weird part: it looks like I have a mix of Android 11 and Android 12 now! The phone is all but unusable for how slow it is. But the main UI looks like Android 11 still, but things like the reboot screen now look like Android 12. Bizarre...
I was at least able to enable ADB debug again, so I think I will be able to recover the phone. Still a weird issue though. Don't know if flashing with fastboot would have prevented it...
If anything fails, you can always try the Asus flash script it will solve most of the issues with your phone, just note that it installs Android 11 (30.11.51.115)

EDIT: nvm, I saw your other reply, you alreay tried that. Were you able to get it working again?
Going from WW-30.12.112.82 to WW-31.1004.0404.107 worked flawlessly, i did not lose settings or data on that upgrade (but I want to stress that a good backup is STILL a very good thing to have!) It then started downloading the 31.1010.0410.43 upgrade on its own. (shown in the ui as SKQ1.210821.001.31.1010.0410.43)
Why didn't I upgrade to the latest one myself? Simple: I goofed up and downloaded the older one.
change the name in UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip
Hi, has anyone tried to upgrade a firmware that has Magisk and TWRP installed? Today Android 13 has been released for the Zenfone 8, but I wouldn't really like to do something really dumb such as upgrading, rebooting to recovery to reinstall Magisk only to discover that TWRP has been replaced by the stock recovery and the phone completely erases any data it has stored.
You can update by putting the fw in sdcard folder, while keeping magisk (you need to restore images before updating and reinstalling magisk in the inactive slot after updating, then reboot). Otherwise, you can just update through system or through twrp, and after that, boot/flash twrp and install magisk again. In both ways you won't lose any data

Thank you! As this is my first phone with A/B slots, I wasn't completely sure about how to proceed. I'll follow your instructions! The only thing I don't get is where is TWRP stored and why it won't be overwritten by the update.
EDIT: installed successfully, thanks!
