Hello all,
Heres the update.zip
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByGCARIUnPHQRFBaOEs5dUZSVlk
You may need to rename it to remove the space and (1) before flashing.
good work with it!
can i flash this zip by twrp?
This is an official update, so I doubt it, it will need official recovery,boot and system to be flashed.

How do I flash a ROM without the recovery included in the zip? How do i remove the recovery from the zip file before flashing? I'm trying to flash a ROM that has twrp recovery, it won't let me restore my backups from CWM, if i remove twrp from the zip do i need to insert cwm or just flash the zip with twrp removed thru my current cwm?
Check the rom for recovery.img.
Rest is hit and trial to remove it all together or replace it with the one with yours.
A bit of risk involved.
Keep the backups handy.
Well, is TWRP included for a reason? Since you didn't tell us which phone, it's pretty hard to give a good answer. There is no universal method for how to install roms as they can vary by phone, carrier, and update it's on. I know for some phones, when the recovery is included like that, it will flash the zip and install recovery then reboot to the new recovery to finish the install. Not all roms can work with all recoveries. I would re-read the installation instructions to make sure that this is not the case or that only that version of TWRP can be used with the new rom.
As far as how to remove (if needed, which I'm wary of without knowing the details...), you just need to use something like 7zip or WinRAR to open the zip as an archive and delete the recovery img. You do not want to unzip and rezip the contents because most likely it will break the signature of the rom and fail to flash in any recovery.
I've got the OTA file on my watch, but I cannot flash it since I am rooted, and I have a custom recovery. What I want to know is, how does one get that file out of their watch onto a computer, and how would I go about putting it into a flashable zip?

The OTA should be a package named update.zip, I think you can flash this package directly from recovery. I´ve uploaded my update.zip on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-watch/help/5-0-2-update-lwx49k-t3034438
I´ve tried to flash throught TWRP and it does not work, maybe from stock recovery...
After taking root I'll still be able to update my phone using OTA? If so, the update will remove the root?
As updates OTA behave in relation to Xposed? Is everything going to work?
Sorry for the English, I used Google translator.

Unfortunately you can't update via OTA if your device is rooted.
To install OTA,
recover the ROM backup ( that you ''hopefully" made before rooting using TWRP ) from TWRP and then, install the OTA.
Edit: Or , (if you are patient enough to download the full ROM) you can dirty flash the full ROM and then install OTA.
When you do this, custom recovery (eg., twrp) will be replaced by stock oneplus recovery . Hence, you should again flash the custom recovery img through adb.
What if we extract the update file and only take the files that will not effect the recovery (the really updated files), make them into a flashable zip and overwrite the current system files?
Just dirty flash the full ROM, then the OTA zip(s) and after that root it again, flash Xposed or whatever you want.
There's no need to restore any backup or reflash recoveries etc.

You are right about dirty flashing the full ROM zip.
But, the recovery will be replaced by stock oneplus recovery when you install OTA update as of my experience.

Why should it be?
I can confirm from personal experience that this won't happen.
//Edit: Do you actually mean 'install' OTAs with the official updater in android itself? If so, then I don't know.
But by flashing the OTA zip (in recovery) it won't replace your recovery.

1.Yeah, I meant updating via "official updater".
2. That's one of the reasons why they(manually flashable OTA zips) are made. aren't they?
@sankarshan Yes you're right. I thought you meant flashing them as zip because I specifically spoke of flashing the OTA zips

That's a great idea @winesh I also wonder if it is possible.

I could not find any custom Roms for your device.
I could find an stock Rom for the Mya-l41 trough.
Here is an link: https://mega.nz/#!wKpT1ZaS!CV-2E4sNnUwIurskAdqCDpDawWlZD2UeABtSELk_ffc
That should be an update.app or an flashable zip.
You may get Huawei Update Extractor and extract the system.img and boot.img of the update.app
After that flash system.img and boot.img from fastboot.
Warning. This may soft brick your device.
Good luck.
If i helped press the Thanks button

Does it show an error or anything?
Fastboot flash system system.img
ok, so i found what i thought was a stock rom for my device on some spanish forum and used sp flash tool to install it
problem is, sp flash tool formatted my phone, but encountered an error trying to install the firmware and now my phone wont boot and windows says its not recognised
is there any fix to this? or is my phone bricked?
hey again! i know this post has been a wild ride of me doing stupid stuff and bricking my phone, but i got the firmware back!
only catch is that i'm receiving some nvram error (which i got on my previous phone too. i swear this is the last time im going mediatek), so if anybody has a method that can fix this it'd be highly appreciated
thanks
Hi, Ibxda.
Can you please share with us where you found the stock rom, what went wrong with flashing, and how you managed to get the firmware back?
I have a running system, but I rooted it and cannot apply official upgrades. I'd like to go back, upgrade and root again. I would appreciate the info on your progress.

You should root with Magisk, it's systemless and it should not affect updates. If you want to update you should flash stock recovery. After you updated you are free to flash Twrp again if you want. If you are rooted with SuperSU you should uninstall SuperSU and install Magisk
Hello I've downloaded latest stock firmware/ROM from: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...2202-ASUS-32.2050.2050.34-1.1.1-2210-user.zip
But unable to find any guide or tool on how to install it? From searching I understand there's supposed to be a flashfile_AFT.cmd, but can't find it in the zip. I've unlocked bootloader already. thanks
Flashing a working device? Just copy to root dir and reboot.
The instructions said to choose the zip from recovery, but stock recovery doesn't have an option to "install from zip". I only managed to flash the stock firmware after installing twrp.

That's also what instructions said, but I never got the notification you are supposed to get. Also, we are more likely to want to flash the stock firmware on a non-working device and I really can't find how we are supposed to do it with stock firmware.
For the updatenotification you maybe have to activate something like "apply updates on reboots / automatic updates" in developer options.
If the device only boots to fastboot you need a raw firmware file with the flashall.bat (I think it was WW-AI2202-32.2004.2004.84-REL-2206-M2.13.33.11-ASUS_1.1.1-user-20220722.zip for example). You can find it on romdevelopers.
All I had to do was take the firmware zip, plop it into my 'home' directory (i.e. not the actual root directory!), and I got the notification that an update was available via that zip. Standard installation after that.
I had and continue to have root access through Magisk, though I did have to apply that 'after update' magisk function before rebooting to complete the update. Rebooting without doing that loses your root access.
Yes, i mean that folder. Its "root" If you use the standard filemanager.
ok this will update the phone but if a phone was bricked, does any stock ROM file exist that can be flashed via fastboot?
Or is there a script which can be used to flash the contents inside payload.bin through fastboot? there are lots of files if payload.bin is extracted, not sure if everything it meant to be flashed?
