Hi there.
Yesterday I got a message that a file was downloaded (which I did not initiate)
It is auto update: security.apk 43MB
It seems to be a legit security update but it is suspicious to me why it was downloaded into my Downloads folder instead of automatically installed by the system.
Is it safe to run it?

a few moments ago my tablet showed me the popup with the update to .23
i said cancel, to temporarily uncheck root, i did that, and went to about tablet, checked update, it appeared and i started it,
but then the dead android with red triangle appeared, rebooted, googled what the reason could be
i also faced this issues with the last updates, but tehn i found teh dlpkg file here, but right now there is none...
i have uninstalled some system apps like cmclient (although the update was found...) and other asus apps i dont use,
could that make the problems?
and after installing the dplpkgfile ( .20) which i have downloaded, because of the same issues, i received this update... (but it didnt work...)
can anyone help me to get ota back to work (google wasnt helpful, neither xda...)

Yes. All files that are patched by the OTA update *must* be in their original or already updated condition or the update will fail.
If you want to know which files you need, unpack META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script from the dlpkgfile (it's a normal zip file) and read all the assert lines - they list the required files with the expected SHA1 hashes.
I would like to update an apk, (not through market), but the file manger returned a message said the Application is not installed. If I delete the apk, then I can install it, but all the related data are gone. I would like to ask is there any way to resolve this problem next time I update an apk?
I run SlimSaber that uses CM12 firmware and that includes the Download application that I think manages downloads (?). When I download a file it's the application that generates the Download Completed notification. Problem is, that even after deleting the downloaded file, clearing it from the download list in the Download application and after multiple days and reboots the notifications keep being generated.
Does anyone know why this is and how it can be stopped.
I have Android 7.0 on my Note 5. I'm trying to install an older version of Gmail (I have the Unknown Sources thing already turned on) . I have tried downloading the APK files from various sites, but every time I click "install" it always says it can't install the file because it's corrupt.
I've had a few updates since getting the Note (it's been about a year now since I got it from AT&T) and I think one of those updates may be what's causing it to stop installing the APKs. Obviously other changes have been made under the hood, but it has to be the OS because I could install APKs when I first got the phone (back when it had Marshmallow on it).
I've tried wiping the cache and even doing a factory reset and it still won't install the APK file. I've tried several APK files and I keep getting the same response; App not installed. The package appears to be corrupt.
What's really odd is yesterday I was reading an article and it mentioned installing a APK for Google Now integration with Nova Launcher. I thought what the heck and downloaded the APK. It installed without any problems. I got this APK from the same place (APKMirror) I was getting the older APK versions of Gmail. I wonder why this one worked and the Gmail ones didn't?
If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
I managed to install an older version of ES File Explorer this morning. I got it from the APKMirror webite. Unfortunately, none of the Gmail APKs will work. Obviously I can still install APK files, so I'm going to have to search around on some other sites and see if I can find a good one for Gmail.
Hi all,
The update files downloaded to the phone, and I am constantly prompted to update the software. I don't want to do that.
Originally I didn't turn off the auto-update.
Is there a way for me to delete the downloaded OS update files, which presumably will stop the notifications?
