OTA Update Location - Honor 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
I made this stupid mistake of forgetting to turn off the OTA auto update. Now that it's already downloaded, I'd like to know where this update file is at so that it doesn't get updated and mess with my root. I can't even restart without starting the update process. Please help.

Please be more clear.
If you want the update files dowload location they are in internal storage , folder name is started with hw.....( I forgotted i remembered it was like hwota)) In that folder it was stored.

Found it. Thanks guys.
For anyone else who might need this information, I found the downloaded update at:
/data/update/HwOUC
Deleting the files inside did the job.
Thanks again.

Hi guys,
i tried to update the new OTA B183 and as you know it didn't work since i have twrp already installed on it, i would like to know how i can restore the official recovery.img so i can update.
I already tried to extract the recovery.img and to put it in internal storage but i could not find it in twrp for encryption reasons (many folders with strange letters on it) and putting the recovery.img on external sd card and flashing it ended to an error...
What is the proper process to get the original recovery and to install it ?
Do i need to decrypt, format data and use a kernel fileencryption ?
I'm kind of lost because i don't know where to find the proper original recovery.img and the kernel fileencryption.
I know how to flash, fastboot, root, but for this process, i would appreciate a step by step
My honor 8 pro is a DUK L09, European version, running now with B130 update.

[Q] How to get back to stockrom and bootloader?

Hello Guys,
Today I bought an second hand HTC One X. Unfortunately for me it came with an customized rom.
Details:
Android version 4.1.2
Smallband version 1.1204.103.14H
Kernel version 3.68-TripNDroi_pro_series-012 / [email protected] #4
CPU: ARMv7 Processor rev 9 (v71
CynogenMod version: 10-20121227-UNOFFICIAL-endeavoru
Build number cm_endeavoru-userbug 4.1.2 JZO54K eng. noeri.20121227.173141 test-keys.
I guess that is the required information? I see some topics with the same question and they need some fastboot numbers/details to determine what rom could be used? I am an absolute noob into flashing Android ROMS and I have no idea how I get into bootloader (Google couldn't really help me).
Can anyone help me and give me some information about how I can get back to the original ROM or at least a HTC Sense based ROM (I love HTC Sense).
Thanks in advance!
Look at the 4th Sticky in the android development forum titled:
[TUT] Getting back to stock after flashing custom roms [Noob friendly]
Best of luck.
If you love stock, try the ARHD 18.1 rom, this is pretty much stock but lighter and faster.

Ok that would be great! Bon apetit
It would also be fine for me to install just a customased ROM with Sense I guess. Because the main part of me never using custom ROM's was missing the HTC Sense part (I always used to do Windows Mobile rom changes cause that was easier IMO). I don't know if that would be any easier than flashing back to stock?
Yes flashing a custom rom is easy, did you look around and see what you like !?

Yea I guess I like the Venom Viper X rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087443)
1. Make sure your that your HBOOT is 1.31 or greater
2. Check if you CID is supported, visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957376 for updates. Cheers Mike
3. Unlock your bootloader via HTCDev and install a custom recovery.
4. Download the ROM and place it on your virtual SD card.
5. Do a nandroid backup!
6. Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
7. Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
8. Go into recovery and install the ROM.
9. Please choose fullwipe if you are asked, highly recommended if you go from one rom from another rom.
10. Reboot the device and enjoy!
Just to be sure, I can skip step 1 till 5 right? en start with step 6? Or start with 7?
This info is quite advanced and I couldn't really find a noob-proof guide to flash over another custom ROM (or am I that blind).
Thank you so much for your help!
Good choice ! And yes you can skip the updating hboot part and the custom recovery part. I understand that you already have that

Please help, what can I do?
You need to copy the rom.zip to the phone sdcard, open the rom.zip with winrar and copy the boot.img file to your fastboot folder on the pc. Put the phone in the bootloader and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Enter the recovery and do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe system ...
Then install zip from sdcard and select the rom.zip

I went back and tried the Viper rom as I said I would download that first.
I've done all the steps above but when selecting the ZIP file it gives the following message:
-- Installing: /sdcard/ViperX3.2.0.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /sdcard/ViperX3.2.0.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I've tried it for a few times now but I don't know what to do...
What recovery do you have ? (Name and version of the recovery)
And don't remove the boot.img from the rom.zip only copy it !

Follow these steps:
1. Erase all other recoveries from platform tools folder.
2. Download stock recovery zip file from here: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/stock-recovery-for-find-7-7a.17397/
3. Extract recovery.img from zip file. It is NAMED recovery.img
4. Copy recovery.img to platform tools folder.
5. Open CMD.
6. Fastboot erase cache
7. Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( if that doesn't work, just fastboot flash recovery.img)
I just did it no problem.
Fastboot will not work unless it is named EXACTLY. I hate to ask this but do you have stock rom in either internal or external storage?

As for the problem, does your N7 have a custom recovery installed?
If yes, just boot into recovery, plug it into your PC and ADB sideload a ROM from your PC onto your N7. How you can do an ADB sideload depends on what custom recovery you have, and can be found on the web if you search.
If no, just install one ASAP and do the rest

You can open a command window on the platform tools folder inside the android SDK (here) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html by holding shift on it and right clicking. Click open new command window here. Go into fastboot mode on your tablet. There is a command to flash a .img which is fastboot flash (or fastboot boot if you do not want to flash) then after fastboot flash or boot you put the name of your recovery followed by .IMG (it has to be a .IMG file) the recovery needs to be in the platform tools folder for this to work. From your recovery you can flash an image but it needs to be on the internal SD(so this probably won't work)

This saved my Nexus 7 2013. It would not boot, I could not flash, format, copy anything, etc. The dreaded spinning Google symbol. It would give me errors when trying to flash. I tried TWRP and CWM, nothing would flash. I ran the Dead_Nexus7.bat file from the link below and my Nexus worked. It was like magic bringing it back from the dead. I am assuming the problem occurred when unlocking the device. It froze for a minute or two, until I started tapping on it.

Soft Bricked my M8

Hello everyone,
So, I soft-bricked my M8 after trying to downgrade from lollipop back to ViperoneM8. My first problem was that internal storage wouldn't mount in Twrp, but now it does. However, my phone doesn't boot all the way back, and it just boots into bootloader or TWRP. I also did a factory reset in TWRP, and I think my USB debugging is gone so I can't use the ADB sideloading tool. When I try to use this tool, and run CMD, "adb devices", it only says "List of devices attached" and it doesn't display my phone. I tried to mount my device through TWRP and insert a RUU, but when I try to flash it, it keeps saying NO MD5 file found. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks
You could side load a ROM if you can get ADB to work, or using another device and SD card, put a ROM, or even stock nandroid from the stock nandroid collection thread, and install from the SD card from your recovery.

I have tried that. I installed the RUU-HTC_One_M8_GPE_5.0.1-3.11.1700.5_rooted file and sideloaded it, but it keeps saying No MD5 file found. I even tried the ViperOneM8_3.2.1 file as well, but that doesn't get recognized by the CMD prompt. I can't use the SD card slot since it's busted.
Should I download another file and sideload that instead?

Drag about the sd slot... As that's the easiest way.
My adb usage is limited. Are you saying adb doesn't recognize Viper? Try another rom perhaps. Or again... Try a nandroid image for your particular device.
And perhaps it's the wrong RUU, or download was damaged?

Yea the card slot is damaged. I tried another ROM, and this time through sideloading it, and it didn't work again. It said it successfully flashed and everything, but when I went to reboot, it rebooted twice and went straight into TWRP. I'm not familiar with flashing Nandroid, can you teach me or show me a guide?

Does fastboot work? Run "fastboot devices" this should show your phone.
No fastboot doesn't work, i have just a usb image. I need the 3 files for xFSTK downloader.

Use the highest version you can get from https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/z008-z00a-z00d-z00x-raw-fw-collection-t3448966 and then OTA asus upgrade.

I had the same problem. The first time it didn't work but the second the serial number was corrected and all went well.
There is a manual way to upload the raw using fastboot. Just look inside the update.bat. You can even rubn it instead of using flashtool.

Update.bat(batch file) is a Collection of commands to run. You can just doubleclick it or copy and paste each line to a cdm.exe window.

Yes I did it. Now i have a complete bootloader, recovery stock but nothing to do, the zoom doesn,'t start , infinite boot .
I started again from xSFTK (success), after , Asus Fash Tool (success). In ADB:
fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
fastboot fastboot flash droidboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash splashscreen splashscreen.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'splashscreen' (464 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.179s]
writing 'splashscreen'...
FAILED (remote: Can not mount the necessary partition)
finished. total time: 0.349s
After flashing with Asus Flash Tool, how many minutes i have to wait to boot the system? I think my zoom is broken.
