New update today from MT2-L03V100R001C00B126 to MT2-L03V100R001C00B148
Mine fails. Downloads the update, reboots, then fails to write patch. Where is this update stored? I want to try to save it to external SD and update that way. Anyone know?
My Bootloader is unlocked, and phone rooted. Would that prevent the update? Mt friend has same phone and he is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and his took the update just fine. Scratching my head.
Any help?

This is the Error I am getting.....
Look in either /sdcard/HwOUC or /storage/sdcard1/HwOUC. Note that the update_sign.zip is deleted after a failed update. It's not deleted if you try to update from recovery manually and it fails.

I will Download the Update, then tell it to remind me later on the install, then try to locate the update where you said. I feel if I locate and save the update to the external SD, I can get it to take....
Found it under /storage/sdcard1/HwOUC
Tried installing from recovery (stock), "apply update from External Storage" Phone reboots, and same results (See pic). Dam!
The stock recovery can only see the external sdcard so that's fine.

I tried and selected the update_sign.zip but same result
Going to try this
1. Unzip the downloaded update file
2. Place the Update.app from the update_sign.zip inside a folder named “dload” on your SD card root directory
3. Power off and turn on your Ascend Mate by holding volume down + volume up + power button (or do a local update from system update)
Update: When I did this it said it was successful, but according to my build number, it did not.
There is no update. app in my zip. I just booted to stock recovery and chose install zip from internal sd. I selected update_sign.zip and let it do it's thing.

Same results "Assert Failed" after checking patch files...
Frustrating as hell...
Update took on 2 other identical phones but not this one.... Strange
I'm stumped... Guess I will sleep on this until I can figure it out.... Appreciate the input, if anyone has any ideas, chime in.
pls check the system update thread in general section, you have to restore all the to-be-upgrade files to stock. i have posted a system files zip there. (sorry, type in phone, hard to paste link)
--UPDATE
also, if you are missing facebook app, It is in the /cust/normal/us/app location, I just uploaded zip to the one google drive folder with the system zip:

The build.prop error might be because you may have changed it away from stock (for xposed to work for example). It has to be changed for the update to work. You can change it back afterwards.

Remove those lines and try the update again. It probably does checks to ensure it is unedited before patching. You can add that back after updating.

Here's the stock build.prop file in a zip (attached). Unzip then copy build.prop to your sd card. Use ES File Explorer in root explorer mode. It goes in /system
For reference, the owner is root and the permissions are rw- r-- r-- (644).

I am rooted on .21.
I backed up via RootKeeper and went ahead to install the update. On installation after rebooting, an android logo came up with a red triangle with an exclamation point in the middle.
My prime rebooted and I got a notification saying update failed and my firmware was restored back to .21 with my root intact.
Now when I check for an update, my Prime says no update was found. I have tried rebooting several times too.
Any ideas?

I am going to try the manual update on this manual:

Copy the file over to the root directory I believe....
But this will erase all your data I think. Which is why I do not want to do that.
Possible Solution!
Okay. So, I was having the same issue. I redownloaded the US version and put on root of my microsd card with same result. Now I was getting frustrated. Just for sh1tz and giggles, I put a copy of the firmware in the root of my sdcard (i left the original in the root of my microsd card also). I then took the microsd card out and put back in. This time i got the triangle notification in the lower right corner notifying me of the update as usual. I pressed on the triangle and it showed TWO files! I picked the latest one by time and date because that is the one I put in the SDCARD root location and....wait for it.....VOILA....it worked. Don't ask me why!

I downloaded the US firmware, put it on my micro SD root, my /sdcard folder, my / folder, and still nothing. Even after rebooting. What could be the problem?
Plus checking for update yields nothing.
See root posts, SparkyM3 has fixed that. Rooted just fine.

I am in the same boat at the moment, factory data reset didn't help either so don't bother.
So how the hell do we update to .28?!?!
Is there anything we can do to redownload the update and try reinstalling?

I just gonna leave my tablet for a day and see if its cause the server is caching that we did a update. I guess if worse comes to worse we could do a downgrade, but too much of a hassle for me at the moment.

That's what I've been thinking too. I may do a hard reset, root, use rootkeeper, and then go to .28....
Lots of time and energy and I'd rather not do that!

I already did a hard reset, no luck
You have to unzip the download which should contain another zip, that zip goes onto your internal or micro SD card.
Problem Solved
I found the problem. You need to unzip the manual update file first and you'll get another zip file. Put that into your microSD card and then you should see the new firmware detected icon.
Problem has to do with the fact that we edited something in the system files I believe.
Once you update it to .28 You'll need this to root again
More information on the issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707362&page=1
Hope this helps!
From failed .28 update to SUCCESS! (But now must reroot)
Downloaded the update manually from support.asus.com (enter tf201 and find ur appropriate version... For me US), and download it to your removable/external microsd card. Extract it to the root directory of the card, and rename it to EP201_SDUPDATE.zip (***if u don't see the .zip extension, don't add it - this means the file manager you're using doesn't display extensions, and if you add ".zip" the filename will end up as EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP.ZIP which won't work)
Once you have the file extracted, renamed, and in the right place, hold down "volume down" + power, and dont let go until it reboots AND you see text at the top of the black screen... Then press "volume up" within 5 seconds to install the update. You should see the "Andy with blue nuclear fission ball" animation as the update runs.
Now go find the .28 root method, reroot, and party on.
Btw, I found this in the "bricked after update to .28" thread, but it works for failed updates as well. Hope this helps.
YOU NEED TO UNZIP THE INITIAL .ZIP YOU DOWNLOAD. THE FILE YOU NEED WILL NOT HAVE UPDATELAUNCHER IN THE NAME! Inside of that is the .zip you want. You can unzip that or not. I can confirm it works both ways.
Put the .zip within a .zip on the root of /Removable/microsd/ or /sdcard/ . Safely remove you sd, then reinsert if you choose to use your removable card. I did not have to reboot.

In case you want to do the actually OTA with your phone, and got some errors (dead android), you might want to check:
+ if you are using "CWM Recovery" (then uninstall it as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825)
+ if you are using "Remove QSlide Apps from NotificationBar" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194423)
But don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with (you can try if you want). To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first).
+ still not found the problem, check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log
It should say which file mismatches the checksum, and in the case of mine, it is LGSystemUI.apk, which I cannot find anything related searching google. And that's why I make the thread so people can search google and found it here.

If you are rooted then all you need to do is find a nandroid backup of previous jb and flash it. Then you use the trick to force the OTA. If you are not rooted then the only thing I can say is download the kdz, flash it, and wait for the OTA.
there are a few things that manipulate the system: link2sd, overclocking, busybox, custom recovery. . .My thing was the busybox. I totally forgot that I downloaded it and my update didn't work at first. Good Luck

Make sure MD5 sum is correct. The other stuff doesn't matter. You are flashing a full backup not an OTA which requires all stock apps.

In my OP, I said "don't use the QSlide revert file from above thread, it doesn't restore the exact matched file for OTA to work with".
In case you still have trouble with the OTA, try to follow what I wrote: "To save you some trouble, I have attach the original files (LGSystemUI.apk and its odex). Unzip and overwrite them in the folder /system/app (use ES Explorer to remount /system RW first)."
Hope that helps!
For other people with problems, I suggest to use the Recovery Flashable Zip mentioned in one of the reply.
Or, if you are as paranoid as I am (who knows what people might put in those zip file ) (and somewhat technically knowledgeable), "check the few last lines of this file: /system/cache/recovery/last_log" to see what file got error, and try to get the original file from 20D (which should have the matched SHA1 checksum) and replace them.

Get the full P769BKv20f kdz file download here. Please be advised that this is just stock and if you flash this ROM then you WILL LOSE ROOT! But you can download and create a bin file to do the Lelus root method.
For those who are interested and are on stock non-rooted and didn't receive the (german) update by now, here is the logcat link i took :
( i was already on B04(bootstack/system (Australia)) but couldn't help to go back to B02 to have the link and share it - of course back on B04 :cyclops: )
( http://dl1.ztems.com:80/zxmdmp/down...es/HK/ZTE/ZTE A2017G/406489/fota_B04_B06MR.up )
or here the same uploaded zip file with a "little" bit faster download speed
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634768949
Rename to .zip (or try the .up file) ( you may even rename it to update.zip ...)
you don't have to upzip it
Put into root SD (external) or try internal storage
...and update via settings ( when on B02)
ps : when your phone won't detect the zip, you could try to wipe cache in stock recovery and reboot again and try to update again into settings menu
or update in stock recovery either via ADB sideload or update from SD
Enjoy !
Thanks Bro was looking for this.
So I'm able to flash the fota updates via system recovery, but is there any reason why the system updater isn't detecting the files on SD card/not receiving the B04 prompt? ?

Just rename. You don't have to unzip anything.
Although I did the update with the UP file once in adb sideload (in stock recovery) when I was on B01.
This is for non rooted users. It's just the clean, German original update from ZTE. Just for those who didn't get it by now.

Yes you can, either adb sideload or via update sd, all in stock recovery.
Or via the normal way when your phone detects the SD update. I have no idea why your phone doesn't detect the OTA on your SD by the normal way via settings. It should but this thing happens often.

You can upgrade straight using the Australian full V1.2.0B04 ROM. It's 2GB++ file size. Extract the update.zip and put into the root directory of your internal storage or SD card. Then open the system update and it should detect the new firmware.
My phone doesn't detect the update from internal neither from SD. I tried both files, and cleared cache. Says my firmware is up to date, I'll wait till it pops up officially for my region

Try in recovery. Either via SD or via adb sideload update.zip (put zip in adb folder PC)
(Also try all these steps with .UP instead of .ZIP)
Or flash the whole Australian zip bootstack + system. I'm running on that one. Or flash the original full Australian zip.
Possibilities enough

The update only has a device security patch. The security is from june 5 which is pretty old but i guess it's better. If someone else received the update post it here
got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160.
and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...
We need someone then to unroot the phone and update to b170 or at least check how to update to b170
See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

If anyone is able to capture the B170 update and upload it somewhere I'll try and make a TWRP flashable update
My phone doesn't see any updates yet
Could you briefly describe how to do this please? Can it be done from a phone with a locked bootloader or must the bootloader be unlocked?

you would need Root and a Root explorer - file manager
you would go to settings / Software update / download the update
choose to install it later
then with the root explorer search your phone for an update.zip
I'm not sure where it's stored I'm looking for that information now
after you find the update.zip file copy it to your phones storage and upload it to your google drive (or anywhere I can download it from)
if you know the exact location the update.zip is stored you could possibly adb pull the file without having root
Update should be in /cache/fotapkg/update.zip

iirc, on huawei, it's in a folder on internal storage. shouldn't need root to grab it.

Thanks seems AT&T likes to put them in the path I described though
I'm pretty sure we can edit the updater script to install this from TWRP if someone captures it

working on grabbing it now.
Tried grabbing it - and messed up and got past the waiting part - it tried to update and (of course) failed. I'll give it another shot shortly.

Good deal .. what was the name and path to the update file ?
you could possibly grab it with the TWRP file manager also

When I get it I'll get all that as well.
The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded.
Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it both under that name above and also as update.zip and anything else I can think of (by date, since it just re-downloaded)
I'll grab and document all the info on what I got where.
File is in /cache/fotapkg/ but is named package_temp.zip
I have it out, xda won't accept the file that large, trying to figure out how to link that file only to my onedrive so you can get it without access to all my other junk (sorry)

OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size.
Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was.
Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that may need to get changed back (or not - you tell me) to be able to get it to move.

ok my phone doesn't see the file as an update ..where was it located ?
that is the file sent down from ATT to the phone. I have unzipped it and looked at it as well -it's 209MB unzipped. Contains the following files and drawers:
cust.new
cust.patch
cust.transfer
system.new
system.patch
system.transfer
UPDATE.APP
(drawer) META-INF
(drawer) com
(drawer) android
otacert
(drawer) google
(drawer) android
update-binary
update-script
blacklist.conf
CERT.RSA
CERT.SF
MANIFEST.MF
If you can't get the .zip to open, let me know and I'll stick it on one drive unzipped.

Well I'm sorry to report so far I have had no luck installing this thing
I have tried the dload/update.app using the dialer method and the update flashes but you have no wifi afterwords
and the phone still shows you on B160 (cust not updated / system files not patched)
I also tried with Flashify and Stock recovery and used an edited updater script in TWRP and all fail for one reason or another
Sooo the only way we will get this is if someone that has done the update
uses TWRP and creates a system.img and cust.img and uploads it somewhere for me
So I can build the B170_Full_Update.zip
Any idea how the phone installs this OTA zip file?
Is the updater-script failing because of assert statements for cust and system?
Have you had success patching cust and system using the OTA updater-script/OTA zips for the Huawei Ascend XT before? How did you end up getting the cust and system for your B160 Update zip? Probably from a TWRP of someone's updated B160, which is what we need to do for B170 now, I'm guessing?
Thanks for your efforts on this and answering my questions.

Hey everyone so I have a BLA-A09 c567 (US) I got this phone used and it came with the bootloader unlocked. I managed to get the code and relock the bootloader at a later time. After going through the settings I noticed that the system update feature is still gone? I thought after relocking the bootloader and factory resetting it would come back. Is there something I am missing or will I not be able to receive OTA updates now? Please give me some guidance and thank you!
What's the status of the phone when you got it aside from Unlocked BL? Is it rooted?
You should never loose system update regardless of the BL status. I suspect the previous owner debloated it.

They didn't flash the hw/public zip when updating.
Or possibly just removed it, for some reason...
So is there something I can do to return the system update feature? Or should I enjoy the blessing of a free debloat? My only issue is how will I get OTA updates. Can I just use the hisuite app the update instead?
Currently my Bootloader is relocked and unrooted looks like they messed around with the device then just relocked it and unrooted. When I purchased the device it was "like new" used for a week only.
I am on the C567 .119 patch
A flashable zip with instructions or apk would be amazing please help, but if it isn't an issue and I can just use hisuite to update I won't lose sleep over it.
Also is there anything important in the bloat zip besides system update?
I had the same issue when I flashed my phone with 119. I extracted the update ap apk from the hw zip file of 119, attempted an install, but it will not work. The app is in the play store but won't install on the phone. I will try to pm you the apk

It won't install by using the package manager.
You can however download the hw zip file and flash it through TWRP, this requires unlocked bootloader and TWRP.
It will show a bunch of errors when installing through TWRP but the hw_init folder is copied successfully to /data/hw_init/

For some reason, in TWRP, I cannot see the contents of my sdcard. I wiped the data partition when I flashed the 119 zip files using huru, so I don't know why I cant see that directory.

Try going to Mount and unmount then mount Data again.
Or just mount if it's not mounted
(If you are encrypted and not using Pretoriano80's TWRP you won't be able to anyway as it would require either TWRP with decryption support or decrypting by Format Data then edit fstab and remove encryption. Dont Format Data now as it will wipe your /data)

I unmounted and mounted and I now see a bunch of folders whose name starts with a (.). I am using twrp version 3.2.1.0, which is the same version as BLANC, I believe, which is for unencrypted data.

If it's just a bunch of random lettera/numbers it means your are encrypted. You could switch to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/development/huawei-mate-10-pro-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3769904
Just flash it and reboot recovery. You will get a Pin/password input prompt, input your pin/pw and it will decrypt.
You can use adb to push the image to /data:
adb push twrp.img /data/
Then select Install and tap the dots to go up a level, go into /data, tap the Install Image button, scroll down and select twrp.img.
Or flash using fastboot as thats easier xD

Thanks again. I did not know that we can flash twrp using twrp itself. Weird.
What pin/password is to be used?

The one you use on lockscreen
When it's done, transfer zip to sdcard and flash.
As I said, it will error and say it failed but it does copy hw_init.

Try entering it as numbers. Pattern would look like this in number mode:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
I guess you could just remove pattern temporarily if your only goal is to flash hw

I flashed the twrp blanc, and as able to see my downloads. Cool. I then flashed the update_all_hw.zip file and it errored out at the end of the script with a write data error update_huawei_pkg from the zip file.
E:unknown command
Error installing file
Nothing else gave an error
EDIT - disregard..I rebooted and I see that I have the system update app now AND, it found the long-seeked 119 patch, which I installed. Cool. After the patch was applied, the phone rebooted itself into recovery, I saw it run some script, and then it rebooted into system. Weird. The phone, however, still shows the version as 119, and not 119 patch 01 or something.
RE-EDIT - redisregard. THe version shows as 119 patch AND the themes got installed from the zip. Ok, so it looks like I now have a complete version 119 US variant of the stubborn and cumbersome Mate 10 Pro. Though I read that an update came out yesterday with the August security patches.

Yeah, flashing hw/public zips will give errors. This is because its supposed to be installed using Huaweis update binary. So twrp can't process the commads.
