openinng update package..
E:Cant't open /sdacrd/update.zip
(NO Such file or directory)
installtion aborted.
im fresh so i have no idea what to do please help
Use a file explorer like Astro or ES File Explorer, to go look on the sdcard folder and see if update.zip is there. You may need to go into the settings on the file explorer app and specify that it show the file extension (i.e. The .zip part). Make sure the file isn't named update.zip.zip.
Also did the install instructions say the file would be named update.zip? Sometimes the install file is named something else. I.e. darktremor.zip. Which in that case you have to choose the option to 'choose zip to install'. And find the specific zip file name, which may also be in a subfolder on the sdcard. I.e. /sdcard/download/darktremor.zip.

Ok thanks buddy i want to install some theme.apk but after i install it how do i apply it?
Just get root explorer and copy and paste the .apk into the system/app folder. Sometimes you may have to reboot for it to take.
My phone is not in english so its hard to explain what button to push But It is button above "Search", it has little brush on it. Tap that and go to Skin and find your theme that you installed.
Hello guys, I'm developing my own kindle fire update that will be hacked. As you probably know, kindle's newest update is 6.2.2. That is the update i will be hacking. Once it is done, i will post download link here. Once it is created, and you have it, you will need to get a file manager. (I prefer ES file explorer) Once you have ot downloaded, go into your download folder via file manager. Once in the download folder, find the update. Move it to "kindleupdates" folder. Once the file is saved, go to Settings>Device>Click "Update your Kindle"
That is how to hack/root your kindle fire. Well, when it is out, anyway.
Does anyone know what dir the ota files are downloaded too? I would like to capture the ota and see whats in there.

I did it earlier, have to be rooted to see the file that's downloaded. If you're using a root explorer search for "dlpkgfile" that's the name of the newest OTA at least, I made a copy on my SD card so I could keep putting it in the right dir and avoid downloading it all over again. Since I tried all my options i'm back to unrooted, still can't upgrade from g to o.
I don't remember the exact directory, somewhere in /etc/ if I recall.

I'm having the same issue with upgrading 10G. maybe there is a way in the ota Package
EDIT:
I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123 to force an update using the dlpkgfile from ota. I wonder if it could work for G4 also??
@TheJokah @ajent. Don't need to be rooted. Root Browser will be able to view the directory without root permissions. (I use it all the time to browse system partitions and files on unrooted devices). You can do a lot with Root Browser without root. You just can't make changes.
When the fota is available you will find it in /cache/fota
I have captured several OTAs for various devices this way...
EDIT: Make sure to copy the file after it downloads and before restart, otherwise the file will be deleted before you get it.
That is good info, thanks.
I'm pretty convinced flashfire installing the xposed zip does something that isn't reverted when flashing the unrooted system image. I used my limited knowledge to look at that xposed zip and it seems like only modifications are made to /system so it should be removed when flashing back unrooted image. I really don't know, but hope somebody can figure it out lol.
Converted my 7pro to international from tmobile some time ago. Bootlader and sim unlocked, rooted, have custom kernel, and working on 9.5.7.. I want upgrade to 9.5.8, downloaded full zip multiple times for GM21AA, md5 checked, everything works.. Moved downloaded ZIP file to root folder (internal memory), but i can't see the update under settings > system > system updates > settings > local upgrade..
restarted, cleared cache.. etc.. tried all possible ways. Even oxygen updater app sees that there is an update zip in place. But what the hell happening in local upgrade section, am i missing a step here?

Did you put the full zip file on the root of your internal storage? Meaning it has to be on /sdcard/ not /sdcard/downloads
Yes i did, its definitely on internal storage (root)
Also I notice something similar when I download a full zip and it was that after .zip it also had .jar so it looked like this( ? Name.zip.jar ) so I rename it and deleted jar and I was able to see under local update

My best guess is to check the md5 hash of that zip and see if it matches the one on the OP website. If it doesn't match, you have a bad download. Also, can you open the zip with a file manager or does it TELL you it's corrupt? In any case, I'd say redownload the zip.

Thats the interesting part. Md5 is matching, and yes i can see the contents of zip file when i tap it. I downloaded 5 times already
In last 10 phones in my life, this is first time happening

Yeah that IS weird, never seen that before.... So when all else fails, I'd use fastboot to boot TWRP and then install the zip that way. Is your bootloader unlocked? Use the command "fastboot boot [file name].img" then flash it there, if you're gonna install the TWRP zip to have it permanently, remember to install Magisk as well, it's needed for the phone to boot in that case.
Did you ever find a solution to this? I am having the same issue. .zip file is downloaded, not corrupt and in the root folder, but "system update / local upgrade" doesn't see it.
Some file explorers doesn't show the extension. It may be the case that your file is named "name.zip.jar", but when your looking at it, .jar is dropped, showing only "name.zip". This makes you believe .zip is the extension, while it's not, rather just part of the filename.
