Dunno the exact location, but as I read in other threads, it's saved to a temp folder, on a partition where you have no read access without root.

its at /data/data/com.google.android.gms/app_download/ but you'll need to be rooted and use a root explorer to go there/see folder's content.
once the update has been applied the file gets deleted usually.

I read elsewhere that this is where it is stored, but immediately after I download the update, I can go into that folder via ES FE and nothing is there, I am rooted, I have root enabled in ES and even turned on "show hidden files", Still empty....

Wil I lose my data with this upgrade method?

Local upgrade method.

It's a regular update, so no.
Is there any reason that I can just directly download the zip file to my phone, instead of PC and transfer to the phone, as in the instructions below?
Thank you
How to upgrade system?
Download the software build for your device on this page. Please back up your data before flashing your device.
Plug your phone into your computer and copy the downloaded .zip to your phone’s storage. If you’re using a Mac, you can install Android File Transfer Android File Transfer for this operation.
After the .zip file is copied to your phone, go to 'Settings' - 'system update', click the 'settings' icon on the top right corner, choose 'Local upgrade', find the .zip file and click on 'Install' to confirm.
The update takes about a minute (depending upon the file size), once done reboot your device to boot into the latest Oxygen OS.

You can download directly in your phone, and place it in root of sdcard.
Also be sure the file ends with a .zip extension.
So I downloaded it, it was a jar, so I extracted it and put it in the root of my sdcard. When I try to do local upgrade, it says, "Move installation file into root directory." I moved the jar file as well, and it does not detect it.

Rename .jar into .zip and copy it in the root.
Thanks for all of your help. Upgrade is done, easy peasy! :good:

I use it to notify me when an update is available and to handle the download. After that I switch to the system updater to perform the local upgrade.
