Have you tried the following locations?
\cache\download
\sdcard\download
Quick question for you.........why do you want to know the location of the update?
If you just need the official OTA update file then get it from here.....

Where are OTA updates downloaded to?
It's not the /sdcard/downloads folder.

They should be downloaded to the /cache partition.
My T705 is running very nicely on KK and I'm not really too bothered about updating it to Lollipop. So is there a way to get rid of the Update icon in the notification bar?
Thanks
If you are rooted you should not get the notification.
There is a guide but it is for the S3 phone, it might give you a guide.

I think that means you've already downloaded the update. From memory you should have a folder named FOTA on your internal storage. Delete that to get rid of the notification.
However it would be better to actually move it to your external sd card for future use.
Also I'm sure you can disable automatic updates in settings.
The only FOTA files I could find were these, please see image attached.

Should be a normal folder. If it's not there then you probably don't have the update downloaded yet.

According to the screens (see images) the update has been downloaded.
It could be in the root of your internal storage. You may need a file manager such as es explorer that can show root folders.

I've tried a couple of file manager apps but all I can find called FOTA is what's shown above.
No they are just apps.
It must be there somewhere. It is most certainly on your internal storage.
It may not necessarily be in a folder called fota. That is coming from memory. Ota's are usually zips, but could be named anthing.
It'll just be one large file somewhere.

If it's there, which it is, it's keeping itself very well hidden. The various Root File Explorers I've used just cannot find it!!
Looks like I'll just have to put up with it.
Can an file manger with a large file finder not find it for you, if the file is 800mb+ it should show up.
Try File Manager HD

Tried that app i.e. File Manager HD but still no luck. I've tried searching by size, name etc but nothing shows up.
Have you looked in Android/data? Both internal and ex sdcard.
I eventually found it, don't ask how!! I moved it to the ext SD card and now the notification has gone. Ironically it wouldn't have installed anyway because my T705 is rooted and OTAs don't install on a rooted device.
Thanks to all.

I think it was just luck that I came across it. It was in a Folder called Data in another folder called FOTA. I moved it to my external SD card where it now resides.
And the name of the file?
It was called update.zip
Hello, Where is the new ota file located on H815??

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.
any specific location ?
It appears Sprint has begun rolling out L710TVPU0AOH1 which includes a patch for stagefright.

Has anyone seen this update?
Please post a link if anyone sees it.
I received the update this morning but I have not looked at the size. I did not expect Sprint to put out a patch for this old device. I expect to have to unroot the device and then re-root the device after installation. It will be a weekend project for me.
OH1 Update Zip
Can you post the Update.zip file?
Don't have the file but the update said it was 58.1 MB.
A couple of people on the Sprint community reported that it bricked their phones but it worked OK for me.

I'd love it if you wouldn't mind capturing the update.zip file and then posting it for us before you install it.
If you do get this update anyone before you install it. Please copy it from your cache file and post it here thanks.
I have the update.zip copied off to my external SD card and PC but because I'm a noob, I'm not allowed to post external links on here. Sorry.

That would be great! Thanks. I tried to pull it but I could not find it in the /cache folder. I think ROOT made it disappear.

It's in there. If you have root all you need is ES File Explorer and grant it Superuser permission. Open the options and tick Root Explorer and Show Hidden Files.

Unfortunately, it wasn't I had to reflash the S3 with NJ2>factory reset> root the phone with CF auto root and then use ESF explorer to rip the update.zip. I will post the zip file tomorrow if anyone needs it.

DOWNLOAD LINK
Sorry, I lost the ota update. I had some time and attempted the fix but it failed. I did restore to stock recovery. In my haste, I didn't make bkup of file. So I was waiting for it to re-download. I am not really concerned about the security exploit. I am glad someone else was able to provide the update file.

My phone downloaded the update, but when I press "Restart & install", it doesn't do anything. Is it because it is rooted? I also couldn't find the update in the cache folder, even though I gave it superuser access and have it set to show hidden files.
Is it possible to manually install the update without wiping the phone?

I would recommend flashing a stock recovery and then sideloading the ota.

What is procedure for sideloading the update. What do I need to do to make my downloaded up ready for sideloading?

You will need to have your computer set up for adb. The proper drivers and Android sdk etc. Power off the gs3 and then reboot to recovery by pressing power the bottom button and volume up at the same time. It will take a moment and then select the option to update via adb. At that point you should be able to connect to the computer via USB and from the command prompt type adb devices and have it list the serial number of your phone and say sideload next to it. I believe that the command is adb sideload filename in this case update.zip. update. Zip needs to be located in the same folder as the prompt you are working from. I am typing this from my phone, so I apologize for the formatting. You may have success by placing update. Zip in the root of an external sd card and select update from ext sd in the recovery prompts.

Does anyone know if this update will reset everything? I'm wondering if I'm going to lose my user data, apps, root, twrp....
Also, I think I know the answer to this, but just to be sure....
I believe the process that I have to follow to use the OTA update is to unroot the device (uninstall supersu?), then just run the update.zip from recovery. My guess is that I can use a custom recovery to install, but I'm not sure. I'm also assuming that it will not remove the user data and apps. After the update is finished, I would have to root the phone again, then set up all of my xposed framework options again.
Sound about right?

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....
