copy the zip file to the /openrecovery/updates folder on your sdcard. Boot into open recovery & there is an option to apply updates.
How do I get the update folder?
If you have open recovery installed the folder is already there, you just have to copy the zip file into it.
Alright now how do u know if the update works?
Can you manually install an update on a transformer from the dlpkgfile? I'm on 8.6.5.6 and want to update manually to 8.6.5.9. I have the .0 dlpkgfile and if I add a .zip extension to it, I can see files. I already failed once at the auto FOTA because I was rooted then. Now I'm stock and the FOTA notification won't work even if I force a "check system firmware update".
What is the .0 dlpkgfile? .9 typo?
Usually, you change the name to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it into the root directory of your sdcard. Windows might bork the name and add an extra .zip, so check it on your tablet before flashing it. Then boot into recovery and watch the magic.
I've had mixed luck flashing OTAs on systems that were reverted to stock. It might be operator error.
Not sure what the .0 bit is, but the OTAs are specific for going from one rom version to another. In otherwords, the recent OTA won't go from 8.2.3.9 to 8.6.5.9 since the patches are for 8.6.5.6.
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.
1st Tip: Where the OTA update zip is located? Download ES explorer. Give root pemissions, go to /data/update/HwOUC . You will see many folders. Just find the zips and see the properties. From the time download the file you understand which is the latest you downloaded.
after i rooted my phone i still get ota update.
it will brick my phone if i installed it ? or it is safe to install it ?
plz help
Can't say whether it'll brick you phone, only way to know is to try.
Nothing will happen, the update will load, then you press install, after reboot the system update error will appear, it will not crash the system and root will not delete it. Rooting the OTA will not install the update, only through Odin.

Yes. You are correct. It will not install the OTA update.
If I want to install the new update as rooted user ,what's the procedure? Will it erase all the my apps and data. Thanks

Just for anyone one like me who are in doubt on upgrading magisk tooted stock rom
i was in android 12.XX and wanted to upgrade to android 13.
1. download firmware
2. extract downloaded folder using 7zip
3. Copy AP file to your phone using ADB push (copy and paste may corrupt large files)
4. Open Magisk app in your phone and patch the AP file
5. copy patched AP file from phone to PC using ADB pull (copy and paste may corrupt large files)
6. Flash patched AP, BL, CP and HOME_CSC instead of CSC_ODM using Odin (must not flash CSC_ODM)
7. You are ready to go with upgraded firmware.
