I do not know how to restore my android mobile operating system.
At a few months ago, I had made a post for help on my android phone on this forum, but until now I have not been able to fix my android system.
Problem:
At that time, I'm interested in from the android system update and then I download GSmart_G1315_V0.50.2_PL_CZ.zip which, according to a tutorial that I could read in spend on upgrading the android phone Nexian nx-a892.
I then tried to follow the tutorial,
Starting from sw_ver.txt edit the file in /system/etc/sw_ver.txt (Using Root Explorer) says "BUILD_SW_PROJ = Nexian", I replace the "Nexian" with "pl_cz" according to the tutorial.
Then edit the file build.prop in /system/build.prop and replace all the "Nexian" with "GSmart" and "A892" with "G1315".
Then do the update from sdcard to file Update.zip
At this moment I am having a problem, because there is a warning error, but the operating system can still get into the android desktop.
I then opened explorer and re-edit root /system/build.prop in this section:
"Ro.product.model = Nexian A892", delete "Nexian" then save it.
then I go to /system/app/ .. and remove all the applications in it,,, I like hypnotized make the same mistake.
**** Error occurs when phone restart... *****
Expect the solution:
Among my friends, who can help me solve this problem?
I can only get fastboot mode but can not perform the update from here.
I can not do the update from sdcard, warning always appears E: Error in line7.
I want to activate adbmode, does not work at all.
Help from friends so I would expect. Previously I thank you.
No body can help me in this forum. Ba*
I have dumped the Motorola Defy XT update recently released by Republic Wireless for those who wish to work to make a rom for the device. I have no idea of the format, I know it's not a ZIP.
Link is attached below by nogoodusername, thanks, since I am a new member and cannot post links.

Archive: defyxt_rw_update_1_65K_1027.zip
signed by Moto-SignApk
warning [defyxt_rw_update_1_65K_1027.zip]: 166614 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile

error [defyxt_rw_update_1_65K_1027.zip]: start of central directory not found;

(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
The way I got the ZIP was by connecting my phone to my computer's custom wifi network and captured all packets that came from the phone and to the phone through my computer using wireshark. I then found the end of the file download where wireshark has reassembled the "TCP Segments" and exported that to a file deleting the HTTP header which ends at \r\n\r\n. I did not delete the NULL byte after the new line. Looking at what segments were assembled individually, it is not including the TCP header information, it's just including the payload.
All of that being said... I do not know rather or not wireshark assembled it correctly. I am willing to provide my pcap file after I obscure things identifying my device.
If you got an ota then it is stored in /cache and you can just copy it.
It will stay as long as /cache isn't wiped

I'll get it from my sister's phone and compare with the one I extracted.
I also plan on adding the original /System/ and the new update /System/ untouched by root.
Here is the update. https://mega.co.nz/#!ecEhVRQA!E-uvfkaMvjV67vMO1lKMKywqV3ohMPiuNWTWJ8WHGi0
Here is the update capture file https://mega.co.nz/#!eVlxDQJY!VGBjl2BiGAIiVp3eVmV85T6VayAj0xD9F9kjC0kpbOA
Here is the original system folder. https://mega.co.nz/#!SFElnaYS!ZehMhQ8lDaBt037xoBlxPT70ozoJ9_9rXd0Fo9_MtOI
As soon as my sister gets home, I'm going to update her phone... Get the update zip from her phone's cache as mentioned above, and then dump the system folder after the update.

This is how you should do it
Download the update
Decline the update/reboot
Goto /cache and copy the zip to sd or PC
Then do the update.

I need help locating and deleting Verizon's OTA update file and stopping future OTA. The G3 is rooted and has twrp installed so I can get to recovery. I found the ota files in cache but they come right back after a while. Not sure what file to delte to stop the ota. I would put a new Rom on it but my wife likes it as it is.
Have you already tried this method?...

Thank You.
There is no folder /app_updates. There is just a folder named "files", but this folder is completely empty.
By the way: I got this file structure on my G4: \Android\data\org.lineageos.updater\files.
I had to manually download the package and install it manually in recovery, but the updater says still to update the current version.

The updater does not recognize what version is installed, just if the update is in the folder.

If this is reduced to this single folder I can say that my G4 has no folder with this name.
The download completed and the updater asks for updating the unit.
The G4 restarts into recovery mode and nothing happens. Manual search for the downloaded files have not been successful.
I restarted my G4 and searched manually with root rights (just to be sure the files are not hidden in non root search) and I could not find any update file.
The lineage updater still shows to update the phone, even that there whether is a folder named "/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates"
nor a file in the "\data\org.lineageos.updater\files.
So... is this an issue with the updater, ROM or is this just not implemented complete?
I have no issues to manually install anything by console or TWRP or what ever else.
Once again: The update file(s) seem to be lost in transit. They are not stored on the system.
The updater still shows the install button even if there is nothing to install.

Are you sure you are looking in the right folder? Your stated path shows :
"\data\org.lineageos.updater"
Was that just a typo?
This where it is in my device:
"/data/data/org.lineageos.updater/app_updates" (note the nested "data" in "data")
Also, I think that if it shows "install" it means that it has been downloaded (and exist), otherwise it would show "download".

Shame on me... I searched with root rights and could not find the folder.... Seems I need new glasses.
But the folder is there and yes, the download is in there.
So single issue is, why the updater does not call the update automatically for flashing the update.

Hmmm... TWRP should be able to handle the script created by the updater. You may want to check on the G4 forum to see if others have the same issue.

the guys in the G4 forum are mostly connected to the unofficial version. a complete manual installation is required.
But there are some rumors in the German forum, who are using the official LineAgeOS version, where the updater script is not working.
I´ll wait for the next update in a week... may be it´s just a minor issue which will be fixed soon.
is it possible to change that path?
The path *HAS* been changed.
It's now downloading OTA updates to /data/lineageos_updates
Which a pain in the ass, because TWRP already doesn't automatically handle the script as expected on my Note3, and, I'd already gotten used to having to go to /data/data/org.lineageos.updates.
Hrmph.

Happy to help!
Now, if I can just get the attention of whoever the device maintainer is, for the Note3, to figure out the TWRP scripting issue...
I recently rooted my device, and after trying to install an update that arrived this morning, the phone got stuck in TWRP for obvious reasons. I tried to locate the update using the built-in file manager but couldn't find anything
Where does the update file go when it's downloaded?
You can find the update file in folder /data/data/com.motoroal.ccc.ota/ (after downloading it).
