[SOLVED] Unable to update - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hey everyone!
I know there are threads here about updating the Axon 7 already. I've pretty much tried everything I've read on here but I still can't seem to update my Axon 7 which is currently in version A2017GV1.0.0B03.
I've tried downloading from the update files from the German site, which didn't work & also download the B06 from the download centre, which also didn't work.
The update app doesn't detect any update files & when I try to update via recovery it gives me an error saying footer error.
Would really appreciate some help here.
Thank you.

1.0.0 - so, you should do Marshmallow higher up to b11, then try to do Nougat update version that you want.

Thank you for the suggestion Marik. But the problem I have at the moment is that my phone doesn't detect the update.zip files I put onto my SD card & even if I tried to flash it via recovery, it fails.

First look at the back of the phone and be sure it's an A2017G. If it is, and you don't care about losing all data, just use MiFlash. You can get the idea of how to use it by looking at my DFU unbrick guide. Just download the latest miflash package there is, use adb and issue 'adb reboot edl' and skip to the part where you get edl by shorting a testpad on the guide. There you will be able to flash the FULL_EDL package with no problemo

Common trouble is that people rename stock pack - there is "update.zip" inside folder in zip. Check is that not dual zipping.

Thanks for the help guys. I feel incredibly dumb right now coz all I really had to do was just put the update.zip into my internal storage. It's updating now. *facepalmed to the moon & back*

[RELEASE] B190 OTA update for Europe (PLK-L01)

PLK-L01C432B190 (for B180): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G939/g104/v51796/f1/full/update.zip
Just put the .zip file in your dload folder and do local update.
This update fixes issues related to icons and input methods and improves system security with the latest Google security patches. [Fixes] Fixed an issue where the Google input method can't be used when the system language is set to Serbian. Fixed an issue where the icon for the calendar downloaded from the Google Play Store and system calendar icon are the same. [Optimizations] Deleted the Huawei browser (with the Google browser remaining unchanged) for a better user experience. All user data from the Huawei browser, except for bookmarks, will be deleted. Bookmarks will be imported to the Google Chrome after you update your device. Improved device security with the latest Google security patches. Deleted quick sharing of application installation packages and images to ensure their legal use. [Update notes] 1. Before the update, make sure your phone has not been rooted. If you experience any issues during the update, please go to http://consumer.huawei.com/ or visit an authorized service center for assistance. 2. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.

Hello,
Did you tried it ? 'Cause except for the security patch, i dont' think this update worth it, am i right ?
I think people who were in that version didn't got any update to B37x.
To my (limited) knowledge B180>B370 excluding betas.
in my case failed at 9% and I do not want to reset phone... staying at b180

Yes, the screenshot taken from my phone
@zinko_pt I got B371 update notification 1.18 GB in size.
@Ing.King really strange, i did it without any issue.
By the way guys, I just released it. It's up to you, updating or not..
We who had only B371 couldn't either update. Where and when will we get B30?

Really soo weird, I installed it at once without facing any problem.
It doesn't need a clean B180 rom because I installed it over my usual rom. It wasn't clean.
Something must be wrong in somewhere... but where?
Back here again..
No good news, tried to instal via sd, same issue, fail at 6%
But, but, but there might be a reason, i flashed the sdk21 of xposed, and idk how to remove it.. maybe this is the cause of it....
When you installed, you had to : unroot & put the recovery back ? Or you where "clean"
I'll try tomorrow, with a rest head

Oh, when I was saying "not clean" I meant installed apps and my all data
And yes, my rom was clean if we consider root and recovery condition.

Hi,
Hmmm so maybe the xposed package.rar i've flashed made this error
Well, i'll try when i receive the H8
Or maybe i had to put the recovery of B100 instead of B180 :/
Edit 1 : When i check the local.prop, there is "ro.dual.sim.phone=false" or the PLK-L01 is a dual sim, so i don't understand ^^
Edit 2 : Flash with TWRP =
MD5's missing
coming from B180 stock /rooted /xposed.....
1.) i flashed all possible partitions i had extracted (HuaweiExtractor) from B180. (system; cust; boot; recovery)
2.) reboot
3.) i flashed full rom B180 from folder dload (vol up&down&power) to be sure to get really all parts of firmware!
4.) reboot
5.) local update b190.zip from folder dload
6.) reboot
7.) i flashed twrp rc3 with fastboot to recovery partition
8.) had rooted and installed xposed now
all works as expected! Now i am on B190.
at least i had to install some modifications to system again and recover my data partition (twrp)
all in all nearly 1 hour hard work!

Hi,
In fact you just cleaned up your B180 in order to instal the 190 ?
The "real" B180
Pure stock if i could say ? Sure, it will work, but i tried to install it without getting back to stock^^
uff 1 hour to achieve upgrade... pity that I have to do factory reset to make upgrade to b190, no root no open bootloader no changes to firmware despite all this I cannot upgrade normal way... very sad, bad job honor(huawei)
because i had made a backup of my apps and data with the HUAWEI backup app (update to version from PlayStore is necessary!) recovery was easy! Had to remove some blood ware and unused apps only!
then reinstalled PMplus; managed autostart and apps they should stay on if screen is off.
reinstalled my google account
all in all a little bit more than 1 hour like i told you
now i am on b190 rooted; xposed and xprivacy activ on; and of curse Viper4Android for better sound.
real easy!

How did you update it? if you were rooted then you have to flash img files manually first before doing a three button update.

Yes, as B371 is the latest one so they will push B371 only, now there are no incrementals. But I have put up a thread here, maybe sometime later I'll post the OTAs too.

Ok, i did follow the steps and it still doesnt boot! What should i try next?
If you installed an update zip it probably wants the stock recovery which you can get in the development thread on this forum. Flash that through fastboot then throw a folder named dload with an update.app in it on your sd card. Phone off hold power vol up and vol down until it brings you to a circle with emui inside. Should run fine after that. If not use the stock recovery to factory reset.
The reason your phone won't boot is because out never encrypted itself.for some reason that means life or death to mate 8 firmware

when you start the flash.all.bat and you see the unbrick message your phone should be busy and install the above official firmware and recovery.If not run it again disconnect your phone and connect it again when the unbrick message shows.To me worked fine.You must have your phone in fastboot off course

Update above android 6.0.1

Hello, I think I have an issue with my phone. Now I'm not a big champ on electronics, I'm pretty sure there have been updates above android 6.01. How come I can't download them? When I go to the update MIU thing, its tells me I'm not connected to the internet (currently surely connected to a stable Wi-Fi connection) and that it can't find anything on my SD card. Is there a way of updating I don't know about? I hope you guys can help, and thanks in advance!

MIU? You sure you're not on a Xiaomi? :laugh:
Which is your phone model? The one on the back of the phone. It should say "A2017U", "A2017G" or "A2017".
You need to download the update zip (If you have an U or chinese you'll have a problem, since ZTE took the update pages down) and put it in the internal storage, then go to the update screen and update. If you have a G, just download them from Raystef66's Download Center. You need to download the Factory images, NOT the TWRP flashables.
If you have an U or chinese, you'll have to get the zip from somewhere else probably.

Okay so I see a lot of download links there but can't figure out which one I need, do you have any idea? I feel kinda stupid now haha
Hey. You need Marshmallow B10 (last 6.0 update before 7.0) afterwards the first version of 7.1 (Sorry I don't know exactly the version number) and last the 7.1.1 B10 (The very last update for 7.1.1 before Oreo). I have them all for the A2017G that i downloaded from the German ZTE website before it got shut down. I can upload them for you, all you have to do is put them on an sd card, go to the default phone updater and the updates will show there. From there on just press update(install) on each one at a time and after the last one you're done. No need for sketchy flashing through recovery. It's all done through the phone updater. I'll comment later once I have the files uploaded.
Can you tell us which stock ROM version it's currently running?
Settings/About Phone
Build number, right at the bottom.

I'll make it simpler.
First of all check the version number on Settings - About. If it is "A2017GV1.0.0B10" or maybe B11 then you're good to go, just go to the Download Center, find the "Factory Images" section (NOT THE TWRP FLASHABLE SECTION) and download the one called N-B10 (No need to download the other two zips, just the one that says B10). Then put that package on the internal storage directly, and go to Settings - Update, and update
If you are on any version below V1.0.0B10, you'll have to download the latest Marshmallow update first, and install it like i said earlier. Then download the Nougat zip and do the same

HTC 10 Verizon Oreo OTA or Backup Needed

I just bought a used sim unlocked HTC 10 Verizon off eBay yesterday, it was shipped with marshmallow firmware and I successfully managed to update it to the 7.0 nougat through htc sync manager, however after updating it to 7.0 sync manager shows that the phone is updated to the latest version and there aren't any further updates available, we all know that verizon released an 8.0 update as well for the htc 10. Also, I tried updating through OTA but whenever I press on check updates it says "Cannot connect, we had trouble checking for the system updates." Can anybody provide me with an SD card backup or anything so that I can update my phone to 8.0 officially without losing data? I just want to update it to 8.0 and nothing else, don't want to root it or anything. So far the device seems amazing.
Some information about my phone:
Model Number: HTC 6545LVW
Current Software Version: 2.41.605.36

It's a zip file so you'll need to rename to 2PS6IMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot to download mode.

You need to download htc_fastboot from HTC dev. I'm not sure the commands tho but im sure if you google it it will come up. Htc_fastboot allows flashing bigger files. Or just go to the shops today and get an SD card which is the easy way.

[Help] MLA-L03 No OS, no Backup, Black Screen need help.

I've probably messed this thing up just about as badly as I can.
Here's what I can tell you:
Update: I just figured out that you are supposed to put dload onto a separate sd card, So i'll be trying that when the phone comes out of it's coma XD anything else you can suggest is very welcome.
- The phone currently isn't turning on after messing around in twrp(tried to restart into bootloader)
- While trying to get it working, it is now showing up as CAN-L11(likely from trying some backups of others)
- I was unable to use ANY roms I tried. full update files didn't work. always error 7
- It seems in twrp that I'd often get this error: mountencrypt failed to mount /data, despite wiping /data many times
- I've tried using iso files extracted from some update.app, and using that to get system and data on there, as well as recovery too
- I was switching between twrp and default recovery to transfer files and then use dload to try to recover the system, never let me do it though. got to 5% then told me something like: "Getting package info failed". it would do this in the download and recover mode as well when I would hook up to the internet and it would also give me that error.
You are free to ask me any questions about the device.
I think I just need to drain the battery then I should be able to at least get something out of it, but until then, if anyone has any recommendations after it's functional again let me know. Any help is appreciated.

You haven't flashed the TWRP mentioned in the first post of their thread, hence you've got that error which is basically telling you that you're trying to flash the ROM on an unsupported device (the phone's codename / model is mentioned in TWRP and ROM checks for it), but actually it's working on all models.
- It seems in twrp that I'd often get this error: mountencrypt failed to mount /data, despite wiping /data many times

That occurs because TWRP doesn't support decryption. You have to format data, not wipe. You can format it from TWRP > Wipe > Format data.

What happened after you've tried that?

Try to unplug the cable from PC. Also, note that I've read in past somewhere that the firmwares from Firmware Finder has to be approved by Huawei and if it isn't, then the stock recovery will fail to flash it. Other Huawei phones has modified / patched stock recovery which allows to flash unapproved firmwares though.
