Logged with "adb logcat" through USB-Debuging while looking for an update. You have to rename it to "update.zip" with lower case and put it onto an unencrypted sd card to. Than you can do the update through the recovery mode.

Mine is still on October security patch (Android 6.0.1). Tried to update through their Lenovo Smart Assistant Windows app because the system update in phone gives a network connection error. Fail!
As I saw, their update servers are down. A lot of people complaining in Lenovo P2 forums but no solution from Lenovo. This is one of the bad customer service I've ever seen!

unable to update if i have unlocked bootloader

:( i tried to update this , as i am on STOCK unrooted.. but i remembered that i flashed the STOCK ZIP with TWRP !!
so changed flashed STOCK recovery.. and checked if its booting into StockRecovery,

now i downloaded the update ! but its failing to install the UPDATE !! i didnt understand why !! so tried flashing WHOLE STOCK MARSHMALLOW rom ( thinking that i could download both updates s232 and 233) but my phone is stuck at LENOVO unlocked LOGO :(

i tried reflashing all files, but its same !!

is it the DOWNGRADE from 7.0 to 6.0 causing this issue??

or say me any working method !! please ...

i want this update to be installed on my phone.................
Even i have the same problem after unlocked the bootloader im unable to update 125 MB update. i read somwhere that we need to update manually via TWRP mode. i tried manually too but it failed. i thought we need to make it flashable for TWRP. please guys help me to convert this update into flashable for TWRP
