[Q] Found (j) over OTA but LG PC Suite says no Update. How to install manually?

I am rooted so a regular OTA update doesn't work. From g to i, I used PC Suite which when it found the i update upgraded me without question. (I.e i didn't have to unroot). Now I want to install j from aug 7 which the phone's update feature shows and downloads. (I thought it was pre release but probably not). How can I find the file on the phone and install it on the PC manually? Would the PC Suite recognize an already downloaded update file (like Itunes does). ?
Any hints to help me find it? Would it have a kdz extension? Right now I am searching with the string "v10j" but nothing is being found.

For those who might have similar issues. I had to "Restore Upgrade Errors" on LG PC Suite, which failed, and I had to repeat it. DOn't just hit "retry", close program and click "Restore upgrade errors" again otherwise it will keep failing. This effectively returned me to an unrooted v10i. From there I was able to use Software Update on the phone to get the (j) OTA. It is currently Dalvikizing my formerly Art apps and looks like it will work. From there I have to root again and debloat.

Stock Device Won't Update Saying 'Unauthorized Change'

So I tried to check for a system update and received a message saying that I had made unauthorized changes to the software and would need to try an alternative method to update requiring attaching to a pc. I have never even tried to root this tablet so don't understand why I get this message. Any suggestions?

Remove the SD card, reboot and retry the update. It won't work with some sizes of SD card in the slot.

SM-P607T stuck in 4.4.2

Hello everyone,
i bought the SM-P607T during my deployment in Afghanistan over Ebay USA . Spending my time there i tested the device and installed all updates etc. Back in Germany just my wife used it. Some weeks ago i noticed that an update to Lollipop should be avaible so i took the device to bring it up to date and i noticed some problems.
(Please note that i am just a noobie to flashing and rooting android and just follow guides to get to my goal.)
1. Device only loading while shut down. (After rooting and installation of TWRP it strangely started to load while on again even on PC USB connection)
2. Its not possible to connect the device with any PC.
3. OTA updates stop at around 27% and fail (KitKat 4.4.4)
[In TWRP shown
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip /data/fota/update.zip
E: Error installing zip file /data/fota/update.zip"]
Strange enough that the update info shown in android is Chinese Version
Tried to get some support with Samsung Europe but unfortunately they say US device US problem......
So what did i do in the meantime
1. Tried different loading devices frome Samsung and 3rd party companys. No changes.
2. Tried several different data cables to connect to 4 different PC. Even the one wich worked good with my Honor7 or the Galasy S4 mini dont do with the 607
3. My last try to fix this problem was to change the USB charging dock completely. Also didn´t change anything.
4. Now the step where i am currently stuck. I managed to root the device and install TWRP(v2.8.7.0) . Now tried to install Version P607TUVUBOI2 via SD Card.
Just followed diffenrent Guides on youtube and forums but im stuck at this.
Here is the message i got in TWRP recovery:
"Installing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
Checking for MD5 file....
Skipping MD5 check : no MD5 file found
Error flashing /external_sd/1/TMB-P607TUVUBOI2-20510930112901.zip
updating partition details......
Checked the *.zip on my PC there was just this file in: P607TUVUBOI2_P607TTMB1BOI2_P607TUVUBOI2_HOME.tar.md5
Downloaded the file from a different source again with same result
It would be very nice if someone is capable to help me with this and give me a hint what i possibly did wrong (Please do not mention not to buy in the US). For me it doesnt matter if i got a rooted or not routed version to install my main goal is to get rid of 4.4.2 . The problem with the not working USB connection is the biggest show stopper for me.

I really confused about your description? you using twrp to flash a .zip rom? then you mentioned about .md5 rom on your pc? how did you flash? With .md5 rom you need to use Odin to flash. Can you boot into download mode (hold down volume down + Home buttons then press power button)? If you able to boot to download mode, your pc should able to see the device and you would use Odin to flash the .md5 rom from your pc to the device. Also where did you download the .zip rom?

HTC 10 Unlocked 2.48.617.1 RUU exe available, April 2017 security update

I did a quick search and didn't find another just general post about this version, although there may be one buried inside another thread. If there is another thread, let me know and I'll have this thread deleted.
Although the main page http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html#unlocked version # and Download link hasn't been updated since v2.41.617.3, the View page http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10/news/ for v2.41.617.3 actually takes you to the proper v2.48.617.1 info.
Official download link Download (1.8 GB).
I haven't applied the OTA yet, so I don't have any other details than what you see here.

Can this be installed on specific HTC 10's only or all? I'm stuck on 2.41.401.3 with January 2017 security update which I'm a bit disappointed about tbh.

Your device CID/MID must match the ones of the RUU. Short answer: unfortunately you can't.
We are all disappointed about that. Let's hope that now that the U11 is out, they will give some love to the 10.

question

If your cid-mid matches,you can install.

A Verizon S-OFF user can flash this RUU, from my understanding.
I am a bit lost in the questioning.

anyone know if this fixes the intermittent wifi problem

If only they would be more specific about "Bug fixes" -_-
I hate messing with my cid and mid just for an update with unknown fixes

How to manually update AT&T Motorola Z2 Force

To update to Oreo without an active AT&T sim.
1. Download this official AT&T Oreo firmware to your computer
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939833410
Firmware above should match this version which is the latest AT&T firmware.
https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...?make=Motorola&model=MotoZ2XT1789&gsi=N8TH4fU
2. Download Lenovo Moto Smart Assist
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
3. Enable USB Debugging on your device usually via settings on your phone and you press on About > Build numerous times until it states Developer settings enabled then you enable ADB USB Debugging there.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-213471/
4. rename the zip firmware you downloaded in step one to update.zip and place it in the top level of your internal storage of your device from within Windows Explorer you will need to set your phone to USB file transfer mode instead of charging (the default) by pulling the notification area down on your phone and setting the USB mode there.
5. After that is done unplug the USB cable from your PC and plug it back in again.
6. Open the Lenovo Moto Smart Assist in Windows go to Flash it will look for updates and immediately the Update button will be enable because you have an update.zip on your phone. Click Update, let it finish rebooting your phone and whatnot and viola welcome to Android Oreo on your Moto Z2.
==> DO NOT POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE DURING FLASH ==<
Since you my end up with a soft bricked device and will have to find methods on XDA to restore it, but you should be able to do this directly from fastboot.
Begin by pressing the Power button for a few moments to turn off
the Moto Z device
In the next step hold down Volume Down and Power keys for a short while.
Let go of all keys when you see Fastboot Mode.
Once your in fastboot just repeat the steps above.
Note: You will get some security & permission prompts if it is the first time using Smart Assist. Do what it states.
If your device is not detected you might need Motorola Drivers here
https://mega.nz/#!buYjzAaR!3Xx0MHYJqIJ8JjdSKxRaEP4AkifzUd3XX8dXKuTVZ1I
or here via MDM (Motorola Device Manager) https://support.motorola.com/us/en/drivers
I found this out after numerous attempts with AT&T sim cards and trying to let the update happen in the Lenovo Moto Smart Assist but there was no progress indicator and sometimes the download would fail..but this worked for me.

Thanks for this.
I just did the update with the tool above. The tool actually offers you the option to download the latest OCXS27.109-47-14 image. Though it's still the September 1, 2018 security updated image.
As instructed, you just install the software and accept permissions.
Click on "Flash"
In the Flash section, under "New Ver:" there is an option to download the latest. What it will do is download the image and unzip it.
Once the image is ready, you can Click "Update" and follow the instructions.
If you use the default settings for install, there is a log file you can use to watch detailed progress. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant\logs"
Be patient at 51% it's likely copying the files during this time.

Is there an option to upgrade without windows pc? Via fastboot and such

The smart assist tool installs fastboot during the update process and it goes into the bootloader screen when it performs the update. So as long as it's the official image, there might be a way. I'm not sure, I did the update with my windows vm.

I am thinking the smart assist has privileged access to flash via security keys because when I tried flashing via fastboot or even from recovery via the zip file I did not have permissions, at least that's what happened to me.

The firmware file seems to be for z2 "play". Will it work for z2 "force" model?

Anyone used LMSA to get the Jan 2019 update? LMSA shows Nov 2018 is the latest update.

I did successfully updated mt at&t z2 force to January 2019 security update. I could not make the manual method work for me, but LMSA already lists the January 2019 patch. All you need to do is install motorola drivers and LMSA, allow USB debugging and connect your phone to your computer. Then let LMSA recognize the phone and it will show latest update. Download it directly in LMSA, and the Upgrade button will become available.

February security patch released April 30 for AT&T Z2 Force. I didn't get it OTA as of yesterday (5/5). I guess I'll try LMSA.

There are two uploads for Feb security patch on mirrors.lolinet.com. Both was uploaded on May. The 2nd one has the text "FIX NFC".
