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.

New update avail says 53.1 mb Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US.zip for advanced calling. Downloads fine but once I try installing fails. So I found file in cache and copied to my download folder and tried to side load. Fails halfway through and says error with sys/app/galaxy4.apk. Not sure what it was so I deleted it (don't remember installing it but could've) cleared phones cache and tried again still same issues and as far as I can see the apk file isn't there?? Anyone got any ideas?? Rooted 4.4.4 SU5-24 and BL unlocked
have you made any changes to the system or to your recovery? as changing any of that could very well cause it to fail.
I guess I did, wife's phone took update just fine, I'll do full reset today and see if fixed issue. Thanks.
Unlocked & Rooted XT1080M
still fails anyone else got any ideas ?? There isnt a system file named that anywhere on the phone that im aware of, however when i look at the zip file itself there is a file inside the download Blur_Version.23.3.24.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US/patch/system/app/Galaxy4.odex.p if i delete it and try from recovery on phone it aborts immediately guessing bc the signature is broken since ive modded it by deleting it?

I'm pretty sure it has to do with live wall papers. You should just extract it from the zip you have and install it into your system.
Sent From My Droid Ultra
Fixed it, apparently I deleted 6 .apk files and 2 .odex files. Copied from wife's phone to a different folder and bluetoothed over, renamed changed permissions and renamed to the correct name took update and all is good. Thanks for you guys help

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.
Hi had a few requests for this; as I did one for ResurrectionRemix too. All thanks originally as before goes to @dr_root as he is the reason I continued to make these for my own personal use but I based it off the ones he made and edited them, so it wasn't much work, so thanks goes to him, really.

Try mount "system" in TWRP before you flash it.

It ends up in recovery mode so I just turn it off and boot up again and it says update failed. I realize it will lose root so I'll have to reroot but will it lock the bootloader again also? I'm just tired of seeing it everyday want to update so figured I'd let it do it but it does't seem to work. Is there a manual update file somewhere? I googled but I can't find it. Should I find the complete rom and re-install the newest version?

Bootloader will stay unlocked. If it's an OTA it's trying to install it will fail IF it wants to patch ramdisk as you're rooted.
You can restore stock ramdisk and it should update correctly, but I'd use FullOTA instead for best compatibility.
You can install FullOTA either using HWOTA or installing TWRP (by Pretoriano80 as it has decryption support) and use HuRUpdater script to update.

I have TWRP 3.2.1-0 since I installed Oreo. Is the full ota downloaded into my phone somewhere since it seems to download it fine then I can install it with TWRP? Or do I need to find it online somewhere. Since it ends up in TWRP after trying to install if it was someplace I can find then maybe I can just install whie in TWRP. I'll google for HuRpdater script or is it on here somewhere? I just googled but nothing came up.

Updates go to /data/update/
But you can download it from http://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/ (download update.zip, public zip and data zip for your firmware. You can click the File list link after you have searched to find the public and hw data)
And HuRUpdater is found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
TWRP can't install huawei update.zips by default, so you'd have to download firmware then use HuRUpdater to flash it.

I found the files where you said, thanks. update_data_public.zip, update_MHA_L29_hw_usa.zip, and update.zip
When I read the instuction it calls for 3 files 2 of which are already spelled out correctly but looks like I need to rename the MHA file to update_all_hw.zip is this correct?
It also says to put the recovery image in the same folder if I want to keep custom recovery so sounds like it will wipe it if I don't. I'll have to download twrp 3.2.1-0 again
Ok this is interesting, I have 2 files in data with 6 digit names 151465 and 161808 and both have the 3 files but they are of different sizes but the exact same names as I mentioned before. Maybe better to go to the website you mentioned or I'll screw something up with them.
Figured out how to open the file list and can see the 3 files now so I'll get all 3. Update.zip is 2gb is that right? It's gonna take like 5 hours it says.

Rename the zip with HW in its name to update_all_hw.zip and Public to update_data_public.zip.
If recovery.img is present in the same dir as guru it will flash it back to recovery_ramdisk after update is flashed. It's to save a step so you don't have to reboot to fastboot to flash it again.
/data/update includes old/partial downloads too. So if you for example have used eRecovery before to download, but cancelled it, the update is still there. Same goes for system update. I would rather use firmware finder/teammt because you know those are completed zips.
On the site you can click on file list to show links to downloads, the update link rarely works anymore. It just parses data from hicloud but for some reason the update link always points to front page (or to search results if you have searched).
So just copy paste the update, public and Hw l29 links into a new tab to download.

It's going to erase everything isn't it? Rename the TWRP to "recovery" right? Since it's already a .img file I imagine I don't need to add ".img" right?

Updating doesn't wipe. And HuRUpdater will tell you if it should wipe, it will also tell you if it will lock bootloader.
Yes, if you don't have "show extentions" turned on in Windows just rename it to recovery.

It didn't erase anything woooo hoooo. Thank you. I did loose root which will be easy to put back on. At the end if installing everything automatically there were 2 buttons on the bottom. One was erase cache/dalvik I think and the other was reboot so I just rebooted to be safe. Figured if it was buggy I could always go back and erase the cache/delvik but looks fine. Just checked and my TWRP is there so all is good

When you say root directory, where do you mean? It should be at "/storage/emulated/0" (sometimes shown as "/sdcard", depending on the app or context).
