Need help to better understand update policy and situation - ZTE Axon 7 Mini Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I'm Italian, and I've just buyed this amazing phone on Amaz0n from a Chinese Shop. In build number I have:
- ZTE B2017G V1.0.0B05
Can I update to some updated version? Where can I download it?
Also, I've tried an update from some guide on the web, but from the recovery it gives me always an error
-- Install /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E: footer is wrong
E: signature verification failed
E: open file /cache/fota/error_code error errno = 2
Installation aborted.
I understand that every country has it's own policy but now I would like to know if:
1) I've to forgot about have android 7.1.1 anytime
2) There is a possibility to have better information about some manual update
Thank you for the attention. Hope I haven't broke any forum rules (this is my first post...after some answer in "markw" terminal forum).
Have a great day
Alex

ZTE Support is really BAD - they do not response to my questions, or redirecting to different country support. I own Axon 7 mini from UK and nobody (!!) know anything about update to android 7.
Try to visit http://www.ztedevice.com/support/ and find your device's country, and then download proper firmware - I'm afraid you are trying to update wrong firmware so signature is different, and update won't apply. Good luck!

Thank you for the answer, but in the last day I've understood the situation for the most part, their lack of support it's like any other "samsung-like" manufacturer. Maybe later today I will post what I've found. There isn't also a good community in Italy.

problem with update froyo original vodafone EPF30

I have a prejudice google nexus original one I tried vodafone EPF30
since the OTA update did not come to the nexus is one of Frøya
by check in the code or through manual update, but there was
nothing to do the upgrade in both cases is not aborted
I understand why.
through check-in download the update occurs smoothly,
but when it goes to install the toolbar update stops in the middle '
appears and the android with the triangle and exclamation point and then nothing
more.
however, if you carry some manual dell'update the error
shows:

Rename to passing.zip and load via bootloader. I dunno what derivative that one is, I assume the US one though.
Thank you I know because my Vodafone N1 and 'Italian works even if the steps on my device.
I remind you that my one and nexus' original mounts as the build EPF30.
Thank you

Updating to Mango - Issues

Hi Guys,
This morning I was happy to see that my phone had pending updates and thought to myself: Gee Mango is Here!
However as I am trying to update my phone via Zune, I constantly get the following Error:
"Update Error
There was an error while trying to update your device with the latest software. Please try again.
The software mode reported by your phone isn't correct.
To see if there's more information about this error, click Web Help.
Error Code
801812C1"
Now I've tried the various other Mango update methods around the XDA forums but all gave me the same error as above.
I've searched in here but didnt find anything regarding this issue in DVP forums and could not find anything about this error code on Google that occurred with recent updates. (it's similar to a previously documented error on the Samsung 7 where the phone would reboot repeatedly in step 6 of the update process. The fix for that according to a post in the MS forums was to "wait and try again another day".)
Heck I've even done a factory reset on the phone and just tried to update fresh but no go either...
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Additional FYI:
Carrier: T-Mobile-Unlocked
And I've just uninstalled/reinstalled Zune to run update again and still no go...
Edit: Just did a CLEAN install of Zune 4.7 on a factory reset unit and now I get "Device driver installation failed" windows error message during Step 6 of the Update process...

Update to 7392 error code 8010005

So I hope XDA can help me...Thanks in advance
I unlocked my omnia 7 today and forced it to update to nodo and it contained its unlock. So now i want to update normaly via zune to 7.0.7392.0 but everytime i want to update it says after my omnia 7 rebooted the update failed and i get the error code 80180005.
Can anyone please help me?
Edit:
Tried it again and now i got a new error code: 80180048
Well scratch that now it's the same error code again -.-
Hi!
The error code 80180048 means (and as you wrote it yourself too), that you forced it to update, and didn't do it the official way, that's why Microsoft didn't let you
update it again. Luckily there's a fix for that. If you google just "80180048" that's the first page. (Sorry i can't paste link as i am a new user )
Hope this helps.
By the way, you can keep your device unlocked with an app. called Samsung Tools. Download it before the update, and than tick "Prevent Device Relocking". After that you can update the official way, and it keeps your phone unlocked.

[Q] European U8860, Honor: Update always fails

I bought the European Huawei U8860 (Honor) some days ago.
My previous phone was a HTC Hero that has served me for several years. When I first got that one I rooted it and
got a quite good ROM onto it no problem, but my new Honor doesn't seem to be as "willing."
I would like to acchieve root, and a good stable, standard android rom with as little extra bloatware as possible.
The rom that was bundeled with it is nice and stable, but it's full of Huawei's "essential applications" whom I'm not to found of.
Therefore I thought I could root it and remove all the unnecessary stuff, but I haven't found any way that works.
After trying to root the bundeled rom I switched to upgrading to the official ICS released by Huawei, because it's supposed to be easier to root. It's not working either.
Here's what I've tried in detail:
* I've tried flashing the small UPDATE.APP that's supposed to let you root it with SuperOneClick, it unpacks and then fails showing a yellow warning symbol.
In the log I can read this:
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
* I've used SuperOneClick, it connects fine and interacts with the phone correctly but for some reason it hangs at
"step 7" Afterwards the phone isn't rooted.
* I've downloaded and tried updating to the "Cambodian ICS demo" found at Huawei's international site.
It fails in the same way as the UPDATE.APP. "dload/sd_update.log" reads
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
afterwards.
My SDcard is formatted in FAT32. The update program finds the update files and unpacks them.
Then as it's about to start installing, it fails.
Some of my theories:
Something wrong with my SDcard? Seems unlikely since my phone can read and write it fine and the updateprogram even manages to unpack the update.
Some sort of certificate problem? Are the updates signed in some way?
I've never seen anyone with my buildnumber (see below). Could it be that Huawei has some extra upped security in my version of the rom?
System information:
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number: U8860V100R001EURC00B875
Kernel:2.6.35.7-perf, [email protected]#1
I figured that this would be the best fit for questions about the Huawei Honor U8860. If I'm wrong, please move the post.
Any help figuring this out will be greatly appreciated!
Same problem
Hello
Did you ever discover a solution to this problem?
I am encountering the exact same thing, regardless of the method i use for upgrading and the upgrade i use, it always fails.
This happens both with custom and official updates.
Happens to me, too. Have B932 on my Honour, ran stable for a couple of weeks. Then suddenly while using it for 3 hours with a GPS navigator it crashed 2 times and after the 2nd crash it does not reboot anymore. Is cought in a bootloop. Get the same error when I try to flash another ROM. I think I will have to give it to the vendor for warranty.
for those who have this problem of update failed while trying to update their huawei U8860
it just happend to me as trying to install ICS update
I have the message fread_retry >= SD_FILE_RD_RETRY
I changed of sdcard for another and evrything is fine
the update is applying

[Q] (HELP) 4.2.2 Nexus 7 3g Assert Failed

Before i get to the point of this thread here's some useful information you may want to know:

Yes.
You can help yourself.
Search for "Status 7" in this forum. Plenty of recent reports and solutions offered to the endless parade of people that think that OTAs are meant for updating customized (non-Stock) devices.
Bottom line is that the beginning of the trouble is listed in the very error message that you reported - that sometime between the time you rooted and now,
/system/lib/libSR_AudioIn.so
got modified or removed.
Note that there is NOT a single "Status 7" problem - there are hundreds of files (and the boot or "kernel" partition too!) which are checked for correctness before the OTA begins. If the OTA finds a problem with any of them, it bails out without having touched a single thing in your modified ROM. That also means that there could be more problems with your ROM (including use of a custom kernel) which will cause the OTA to fault out until they are corrected.
Anyhow, vast amounts of hot air have already been expended on this - use the forum's search feature, and start reading.
