Updating multiple rows in SQLite with relevant data from the same table - sqlite

Question

I have a database that I don't control the source of directly and results in errant '0' entries which mess up generated graphs with these drops to zero. I am able to manipulate the data after the fact and update that database.
It is acceptable that the last known good value can be used instead and so I am trying to make a general query that will remove all the zeros and populate it with the last known value.
Luckily, every entry includes the ID of the last entry and so it is a matter of simply looking back and grabbing it.
I have got very close to a final answer, but instead of updating with the last good value, it just uses the first value over and over again.
dummy data
CREATE TABLE tbl(id INT,r INT,oid INT);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(1,10,0);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(2,20,1);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(3,0,2);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(4,40,3);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(5,50,4);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(6,0,5);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(7,70,6);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(8,80,7);
SELECT * FROM tbl;
OUTPUT:
| id| r |oid|
|---|----|---|
| 1 | 10 | 0 |
| 2 | 20 | 1 |
| 3 | 0 | 2 | ** NEEDS FIXING
| 4 | 40 | 3 |
| 5 | 50 | 4 |
| 6 | 0 | 5 | ** NEEDS UPDATE
| 7 | 70 | 6 |
| 8 | 80 | 7 |
I have worked several queries to get results around what I am after:
All zero entries:
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE r = 0;
OUTPUT:
| id | r | oid |
|----|----|-----|
| 3 | 0 | 2 |
| 6 | 0 | 5 |
Output only the those rows with the preceding good row
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE A in (
SELECT id FROM tbl WHERE r = 0
UNION
SELECT oid FROM tbl WHERE r = 0
)
OUTPUT:
| id| r |oid|
|---|----|---|
| 2 | 20 | 1 |
| 3 | 0 | 2 |
| 5 | 50 | 4 |
| 6 | 0 | 5 |
Almost works
This is as close as I have got, it does change all the zero's, but it changes them all to the value of the first lookup
UPDATE tbl
SET r = (SELECT r
FROM tbl
WHERE id in (SELECT oid
FROM tbl
WHERE r = 0)
) WHERE r = 0 ;
OUTPUT:
| id| r |oid|
|---|----|---|
| 1 | 10 | 0 |
| 2 | 20 | 1 |
| 3 | 20 | 2 | ** GOOD
| 4 | 40 | 3 |
| 5 | 50 | 4 |
| 6 | 20 | 5 | ** BAD, should be 50
| 7 | 70 | 6 |
| 8 | 80 | 7 |
If it helps, I created this fiddle here that I've been playing with:

For this sample data all you have to do is use the correct correlated subquery that returns the value of r from the row with id equal to the current oid in the WHERE clause:
UPDATE tbl AS t
SET r = (SELECT tt.r FROM tbl tt WHERE tt.id = t.oid)
WHERE t.r = 0;
See the demo.
