Copy OTA Update to Computer on Unrooted Phone - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says I'm looking on how to copy the OTA update I'm downloading right now onto my computer. I'm on RC29 and I'm doing the AnyCut trick and the file it's downloading is signed-kila-ota-14721.2cf0eca0.zip and I'm guessing this file is RC29 -> DRC83 since it's 47385871 bytes. So yeah I'm just looking on how to copy this update from my phone to my computer and sorry if this was already posted somewhere I just couldn't find it.

OK so I activated adb on my phone like stated above is at RC29. What is the exact location of the file I have to pull the OTA .zip file?

Anyone know how to do this? (Sorry for bumping my own thread it's just I forgot you can't delete posts in this forum )

don't know if this would work, but you could try adb pull /cache [dir on computer]

OTA latest update 06/11/10

signed-kila-ota-21415.eec0bd63.zip

I cannot find the update for non custom firmware phones and I am tired of waiting for OTA. Anybody have the file?
so just root and download a custom rom and install that. it takes a grand total of 20 minutes.

Thank you so much!
Umm.. it was rooted and now I am going back.
how to
need instructions on how to execute this
1. rename the file to update.zip (make sure thats all, not update.zip.zip. for example, if youre looking at it on your desktop and all it says is "TMO cupcake", do not rename it update.zip, just rename it update.)
2. put the update.zip on your SD card (NOT IN A FOLDER)
3. Reboot your phone into recovery mode (power off then hold home+power)
4. when you see a screen wits a triangle on it, you're there. open your keyboard and hit alt+s. when it finishes, it should automatically reboot. if not, you can reboot manually.
5. you're updated to cupcake. enjoy.

[Q] Update.Zip

So I accidentally deleted this file. Are there any links to DL another one around here? Sorry if I put this in the wrong area...
So I found the file, tried to re-root but can't seem to find why it won't work. Then I deleted the file attempting to return to a stock state in my SD card. But when I try to use the One Click Root it has an issue with the update.zip file...

Sorry, I'm not sure what that means...
How did you go about rooting in the first place? One click root?
If so, grab the root.zip file from wherever you extracted it, stick it on your internal sd card and rename it to update.zip- and just because I'm feeling extra generous tonight, I've attached said root.zip
(This one is a couple versions old, but it should update through the market after you apply it)

OTA update file location

Does someone know where the OTA update file is downloaded, exact location? i have checked /cache and there is update.zip or different file, but phone says update ready with posibility to install update, so for sure zip is downloaded somewhere, but can't find the right location
Thanks in advance
Depends what version you're on.
Early versions 4.2.1 stored in download folder .
Not sure where later version stored

I would suggest to make sure the OTA downloads and then use a file explorer to search your sdcard for zipfiles. One of those should be the OTA, my guess would also be the Download folder.

looking for 5.0 g870a ota

hello i recently went back to stock on my phone and i'm trying to upgrade all way to 5.1.1. After I downgraded I was able to use the phones upgrade option in settings and that got me to 4.4.4 and now it keeps telling me I'm up to date which we all know isn't right. I found a 5.0 .cfg file searching this forum but no info on how to use the cfg. someone said change it to .zip and others replied back with it didn't work. so i'm trying to find the right way to do this without bricking my phone... any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have the OF2 or OF3 OTAs?
I am on BOC5 Lollipop 5.0 and I can't install the the 5.11 OTA that was posted above, it starts but after checking the contents fails with an error something like error 7 on package. I wondered if it was because you cant go from my 5.0 OC5 straight to the new 5.11 build?
I want to keep stock but can't update OTA as I'm in the UK. I installed the BOC5 update by downloading the 1.6GB cfg file and renaming it to update.zip and placing on my SD card etc.

Which folder is the update downloaded to?

I want to save a copy of the update, but so far I haven't been able to find the darn thing! Can someone tell me where the update downloads to on the phone? Thanks! I have the notification that it has been downloaded.
Not sure where it is saved, but you can download it directly from the update server to keep a copy http://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/how-to/blu-r1-hd-t3418354/post69868062#post69868062
