hello every one,i have desire 816 w (a5 dug j__15)
the problem is that i have downloaded ota official android update( 5.0.2) but because of having custom recovery,i couldnt use it,i simply copy the zip file to pc then flashed the stock recovery and put the update zip file back to download folder(where it has been before) on phone storage,then rebooted the phone,but it does not find update and when i check for new software update it says you have to download it,(it is already placed on download folder on phone storage)what should i do to not to download 839MB again?
i also tried updating from stock recovery but it says failed to map file
i flashed twrp and tried installing zip but it has error too,i'm really confused
thanks
That's easy you need a handy file manager on your phone (I personally use ES file explorer); put the complete OTA.zip somewhere else first. then hit download update, after a couple of minutes turn off your Wifi and mobile data, the download will be paused. now simply delete the small file in your file manager and replace it with your own complete file (names will naturally be the same, so no problem there). then turn on your internet again, it will recognize the file and proceed with update without further download.

Try extracting the recovery.img from the update that was downloaded in your download folder (you should be very quick in transferring the update to your known location as soon as it was downloaded or otherwise it will gets deleted the moment it found that your recovery was modified) and install the stock recovery. After that try re-downloading the update and this time it should work.
Recovery.img file can be found in the framework folder of the update. @jithumon is the guy who was successful in updating the OTA after his device was rooted and bootloader unlocked. Better, checking with him if the above method doesn't work for you.
Dont forget to hit thanks if the above solution helped.

my friend,
thank you but could you advice please where i can find the file exactly ?and if i can copy to external sd card and download it from recovery it will success?
After the update gets downloaded, you can find it in the internal or external sd card within the download folder. You have to connect it to the computer access both download folders on computer and see where it is getting downloaded when you hit update. Just after finished download, try copying the update file and copy it on your computer. Then you can extract the recovery. Just a few seconds delay in copying will delete the file from your sdcard. So careful and act quickly.

Open command prompt with adb,
Connect mobile with pc in fastboot mode
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Check for errors...if no error, reboot & try to do update again...

You cant sideload a zip file. You need to sideload the pre-rooted image then update to go back to stock...

My Asus zenfone 2 ze551mi was on CN firmware before . I decided to flash the pre-rooted system img on this website and ended up with WW firmware , i followed the instructions by downloading the OTA and then i put it in the root of the phone storage , but it starts update and end up with an error. i just want to have a non rooted and stock ww firmware on the device . is there a way out?

I also have a CN version flashed to WW.
I erased the boot image, recovery and system images using ADB then replaced them with WW version. I installed the pre-root img. for the sysem then updated. Once you update it will remove root for you, unless you find the latest pre-root files and ADB sideload that.
I believe the latest WW firmware is 2.15.40.13...

i have this problem too. may i know how to flash the firmware? anyone know?
Have you tried an alternative method of "firmware flashing" using a MicroSD card?

I know this is a long past due thread never seeing a presentable solution and possibly not even needing one anymore, but I came across it and thought I might add to it if I can, in the event that it's found by someone else having a similar issue.
Rather than attempting to flash using adb/fastboot or using the command window or placing the update in the internal storage of the device for that matter; to apply the update try using this alternative method:
First rename the firmware zip file to the following:
MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip - No need for version numbers, world codes, region codes, etc.
Then, load the newly renamed .zip file onto a microSD card (again, not internal memory, but external) and then boot the Zenfone the same way you would when trying to get into recovery. The system should automatically recognize the .zip and on it's own, begin applying the update WITHOUTthe need of being connected to a computer. It's, in a way that's oversimplified and not to be taken literally, essentially tricking the system into thinking it's an OEM applied update and allows extraction and execution/flashing of the zip file more freely then say, through fastboot without properly set permissions and needing to be a .img file specified to a partition table address.
Hope this helps or somehow makes its way back a couple of years to the you who needed it xD If it doesn't, then simply DON'T hit the Thanks button and let me know what happens instead and I'll try to better assist you.
Hello,
I have a problem with a Huawei mt1-U06. When I turn it on it remains on the upload page Android and crashes. By starting the phone from recovery and tells me: Can not mount etc.
I tried to download the original firmware, I created the folder on the sd dload and inserted inside the file Update.app, but when I go to install the firmware on the phone can not find the file.
how can I proceed to reset the phone?

Hello, I need help how to remove and install stock recovery because of an OTA update I can't install. When I press install it boots to custom recovery and that's it. I did search everywhere but there's only tutorial for dual sim. Thanks.

You must download this OTA, but don't install it. Connect phone to pc and open Mass storage/Download. There should be zip called something like OTA-Update (and numbers). Copy it to computer and open it by winrar. In archive there is file called ROM.zip or Firmware.zip. Exctract it to e.g desktop and you'll get recovery.img and recovery_signed.img. I think recovery.img is the right one. Now flash it by fastboot
Hi Folks,
Saw many user earlier mentioning about their inability to find the radio apk in app drawer and struggle to get theme working after manual flash of firmwares via dload. I too came across this situation recently couple of times and after some trial and error found a work around for this.
Usually, we are flashing the files via dload, out of which main update.app works just fine via dload but the 2nd data.zip file of 600-800 MB file takes only 6-8 seconds while flashing via dload and that is the one had issue while either file explorer, radio FM, theme doesnt work.
After dload flash of main zip file, just unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and flash this 2nd data.zip file via TWRP. It will take around 15-20 seconds to flash but eventually will flash everything.
Reboot to system and check for radio app and theme should work just fine. I have tested this trick a couple of times on BLN-L22 B340 and B350 version and worked both the times. Even worked while debranding to BLN-L21C432B360.
Good luck and enjoy.
