Any hint?

Hello, Could you please point me to a guide on updating to Marshmallow if I’m rooted and with TWRP? Thanks.
Hi, i have G8 dual sim B140 not rooted, downloaded the marshmallow stock rom once the installation starts it says “installation failed” please help
Is it possible to include the global model L29C900? Else which ROM would you recommend?
I need English language…
You indicate that the OTA update contains only the zip compressed update.app? OTA update for Marshmallow has more than 1.3GB for my G8 with tons of files. update.app has about 50MB. I would assume something is missing if I ignore all other files. And my experience is: If OTA fails, update via dload folder does the same.
Hi, have you find the solution? I have other updates (Nougat) OTA that are three zip files, these include several other file types.

4) now you will have dload folder in it containing update.app [ size around 3.4 GB ]
5) copy that complete dload folder in your sdcard
6) boot to your recovery mode [ vol up + vol down after reboot ]
7) Let it update …. Done !!!
