Capture the URL of an Android One OTA update Root method The updates to Android One devices are handled by Google Play services(GMS). GMS stores the update url in the tag control.installation.current_update_url of the file /data/data/com.google.android.gms/shared_prefs/com.google.android.gms.update.storage.xml. The url is read from that file and displayed. Non-root method If the device is not rooted, a permission(android.permission.READ_LOGS) has to be granted. Then the app can read the system logs and extract the update url. Connect your device to a computer with Android platform tools installed and run the following command (needs to be done only once): adb shell "pm grant app.akilesh.ota android.permission.READ_LOGS && am force-stop app.akilesh.ota"
