Doesn't seem like it's updatable at this point in time.
Reached out to ZTE: No updates available. If there were to be it would be through bell/Virgin as it's specific build/firmware/model.
Reached out to Virgin, bell and PC mobile as well. If something interesting comes from it I will surely post.

Cool, thanks man.
Btw, is the Bell/Virgin model rootable? So we can put custom rom on it? Would it be the same roms other models would use?
I know tdm is working on one atm (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/development/recovery-twrp-7-1-unofficial-t3685339)

I don't think this version has NFC. There is no mention of it anywhere.
https://www.ztedevices.ca/axon-cat/axon7mini.html
USA version does mention it.
https://www.zteusa.com/axon7mini/
I got the Axon 7 mini from PC Mobile as well. Looks like the Canadian mini is a variant P852A15H, without NFC.
Any idea how to get rid of the carrier name at the top right? SytemUI tuner doesn't seem to activate either.
The mini is really sleek and light! Haven't had the battery issues mentioned in reviews either. Wish we could update to N though.
For what it's worth, there may be some activity behind the scenes for a minor update to the Canadian Axon 7 Mini late this month.
If this individual is to be believed, it will be bug fixes and security patches ONLY. That is, it will NOT be an upgrade to Nougat; we'll still be stuck on Marshmallow. But at least we'd end up with a security patch newer than late-2016.

Confirmed. 105.67 MB download, the device stays on Marshmallow. It brings the device from the November 1, 2016 security patch to February 5, 2018.
This is the first OTA ever released for the Canadian variant. It would include fixes for some pretty high-profile vulnerabilities, such as Blueborne, Krack, and Spectre, so it's definitely welcome.

The Canada-specific version of the Axon 7 Mini was not sold on the open market, but rather was sold as a bundle through one of Bell Canada's affiliates. (I am aware of it being sold through Virgin Mobile and PC Mobile.) As such, it is running a customized OS that was approved by Bell Canada. The Bell Canada-specific OS has always been visually distinct from the version of the OS that shipped on open-market versions of the Axon 7 Mini; in my opinion it appears quite a bit more similar to the vanilla Android experience, with the exception of the preinstalled Bell account management apps.
Unfortunately, because the phone was bundled through Bell Canada, that means that ZTE will also be obliged to get Bell Canada's approval of any OS updates that may be offered for the phone. We've already seen, with the patch that was released earlier this year, that the OS update path being approved by Bell Canada is following a very different track from what ZTE has been offering on the open market, and I don't expect to see that change any time soon.
And it really doen't matter if ZTE's engineering department is technically capable of offering Nougat or newer for this device. They'd still have to get it cleared by Bell Canada first before they could distribute it.
Hi Folks
Ive just picked up a pre-owned U Ultra, which is BNIB...
I bought it as Unlocked..
What is the latest Unlocked UK firmware and Google security patch?.
Thanks all
Allow me to answer, even though mine is a European unlocked single sim U Ultra...
Build #: 1.64.401.3
Security patch: 1st July 2017
Thank You friend.. Much appreciated for that, thats exactly what Ive got.. so thanks..
The reason I asked was when I look around the web and XDA all of the EU/UK updates state its still on 1.62.401.1.. I just wanted to check that someone hadnt installed a non-EU/UK rom.
So 1.64,, mustve been just the July security patch..
I know since the M8 / 9, HTC have done most of their updates over Google Play.. but July seems quite an old security patch for a 6 month old flagship device.
Thanks
You're welcome! I had the exact same question when I bought mine.
HTC is rather punctual regarding their updates. The only reason that can explain the security patch delay is the forthcoming oreo update. Fingers crossed...
Hi everyone! I bought an unlocked S8+ from a friend and I'm using it outside the US and I haven't been able to update it, I still got the April security patch. Does anyone know a way to update it. I have already tried to update through settings and it shows that it's update to the last version, even though is not true. Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks!
hi guys
I have At&t samsung s10 plus wont do any updates from Canada, im stuck with android 9 the o.s it came with,every time i try to update it tells me its up to date.
Smart Switch is no help it tells me phone is up to date also
any way around this?
I had updated at&t s7 and s8 in past in Canada and recently update Verizon s10 5g to andriod 10 in Canada.
you can try update on different wifi network or clear catche and try a update, else you can do it by Odin easily.

Maybe it hasn't been pushed to your device yet, there are plenty of people out there that haven't received the update yet.
If you don't have the patience to wait, then I suggest using Odin to update it manually.

You do understand that it can take several weeks to receive an update once released? Every company does a rolling update so it only hits so many devices at a time just in case there are reports of severe issues, they can pull it. You don't know which server your device for an update is sitting on with AT&T.
Patience is the key where updates are concerned, and it's better to sit back and see what the issues are over having to get the latest and greatest buggy software on your device instantly.

It wiped everything that AT&T had placed on the phone, the apps that are on my phone now are standard google apps
its as if the phone came from Samsung, no affiliation with any cellphone company.

I think what he is asking if it cleared all your apps that you already had installed and all your data.... Not the kind of apps you now you have.
XSP update isn't available yet for 10, it was then it disappeared which tells me it was pulled by Samsung most likely due to some issues.

I just bought an unlocked AT&T phone. I don't care about security updates. I do like performance improvements and certain changes when moving to a new operating system though. However I am not willing to make those changes if I sacrifice stability.
Should I switch my AT&T rom to U.S unlocked? Is the gains worth it? Do I gain anything other then "Android 9 pie" in the settings? How is performance?
Will I get OTA updates after that or will I still need to use LGUP?
Thank you
Edit: I think I answered my own question. The ability to use HDMI out is not available until after the December 2018 update. My phone is stuck in November.
Also, unless you're an AT&T customer there's no reason to want or keep AT&T firmware.

Let's take one topic at a time.
Using Dev Patched LGUP to flash to NAO firmware for your carrier unlocked phone only gets rid of the AT&T bloat and allows you to update firmware while keeping AT&T firmware does not.
Nothing about that conversion touches serial or IMEI.
_____
Unlocking the Bootloader and rooting is a more advanced process which is harder. But that also normally shouldn't affect serial or IMEI. If you do lose serial or IMEI there's a method posted to write them back, I believe.

With the talk of Android 10 available via OTA update on AT&T only, it might make sense for ppl who want Android 10 to stick with AT&T firmware because if you cross-flash there is no going back. Android 10 for other carriers is not out yet so if you cross-flash, you're stuck with Pie.
Sorry, nevermind, seems its coming out for all soon.

For V35 on AT&T firmware, you won't get the OTA AT&T update unless you're an AT&T customer. Or AT&T MVNO Red Pocket customer.
Whereas you can flash to NAO Android 10 firmware when that is released via KDZ.
People, don't get hysterical like you did with the Pie update. All variants will get Android 10. All but AT&T will have full image KDZ which you can download and install.
NAO KDZ will be the best choice for those who are not Google Fi customer or AT&T customer.
Don't go trying to flash Korean carrier firmware like some did for Pie. Just be patient.
Stupid question... i bought one chep last year of course AT&T and i paid the unlock code, of course it came with Oreo and as later i found it couldn't get Pie. So i flashed it to the unlocked version, but as someone in other thread it seems that the firmware "official" has just been on Oreo, mine seems has security update of June and it has been updated this month with another security update...
Mine seems to work normally, however i could say it has three main flaws, first and most annoying for me is that do not disturb doesn't work properly even with rules established, only way to get it working is setting the alarm, which is a bit annoying considering that as for this virus situation i am not working since 2 months ago, and of course i don't want to get disturbed after 10:00 pm and also very early in the morning...
And second one is the signal which is worst than my previous V30+ converted to US998, funny because with other of my old phones as Z2 Force, Iphone 7 and of course US998 i could get easily 30MB+ at average using same SIM card and in the same area for more than two years, but since i have this V35 i can barely get 2MB at average and max 38MB, and max with the other ones mentioned i could get 45MB and in one time i got 60MB
And i don't know if mine has a weird battery but it can barely get around 15-16 hours of normal use.
Should i flash again to AT&T, flash the latest Pie with security update or just wait for the KDZ of Android 10?
And is that true that it now can be rooted?
This thread is widening in scope to the pros and cons of the various vendor roms and android levels. There are a couple of points to add toward that end. To my knowledge, all v35's on any existing rom can be rooted including the AT&T model. The difficulty with AT&T phones is that kdz's aren't released. You need to make your own backup before flashing to another rom if you want to return to AT&T firmware from say GFI/NA.
The next is about Oreo, at least the "h" NA/GFI build. Hotspot and tethering is broken. It may work once or twice after first setup, but it will stop working. That is a deal breaker for some. Everything (that matters to me) seems to work on Pie.
It will be interesting to hear reports on Android 10 on v35. Before taking the leap, it is important to know that ARB remains 0. An ARB change could lock you to Android 10. I don't recall reading about ARB changes on flagship LG phones in the past several years. Regardless, ARB or back-flashing is not yet reported and I do not know if qfil can overcome an ARB change. My suggestion is to be patient and watch for A10 v35 updates from the skilled, brave and sometimes foolhardy here on xda or tg.

NO, that article doesn't say that. It doesn't mention LG G7 whatsoever at all. Seriously. You are just making stuff up?

Yet again, we went all through this a year ago with Pie.
You can flash it "successfully" but you wipe all data, some of the menus are in Korean... Then a month or so later every other variant gets a KDZ (EXCEPT for AT&T). So then people have flash again to what they REALLY want -- which is a North American Open (NAO) carrier unlocked variant firmware. AND they lose data again and risk messing up their phone by cross flashing entirely different region yet again.
There's no need to do it. JUST WAIT. FLASH to NAO firmware when Android 10 is released for that variant.
If you're already on NAO firmware now, then when Android 10 is released for that variant, it would be simple "Upgrade" in Dev Patched LGUP (keep your data). If you're not yet, then it would be Partition DL or Refurbish mode to cross flash to NAO at that time. You would lose your data only once.
The people who are impatient are NOT going to stay on Korean carrier firmware long term. They will cross flash yet again to NAO when it comes out, because it's more desirable. They will be unhappy with the Korean carrier firmware. Many will mess up their phones. Don't be one those people!
Look it's your phone. Do what you want. But weeks ago I predicted this would happen and have cautioned people to not make the same mistakes again that were made last year during Pie rollout.
I just installed the korean ROM and it works... kinda good there are some minor bugs that may bother you if you pay too much attention or that are a bit annoying i am going to put here:
As soon you reboot your phone it is going to give you some warning about well some codes and stuff, i guess because the hardware is not the same?
Menu is in korean at set up but you can change it to your language
There are 3 apps that are in korean and you can't uninstall it, specially Q voice that is on korean language not working
LG Smart World does not work, but anyway i never used it, also Quick Help but it never worked on Pie too so its irrelevant
There is one app called DMB which does not work, don't know what it does but it just freeze when i try to open it
Some weird bug with the battery? It doesn't show up the estimated remaining battery, it just keep on calculating data
For some reason i haven't been able to find or change the data configuration, you know change LTE, 3G or 2G. Seems like it is on auto mode which is kinda annoying for me.
The only drawback i could say for me its dual apps... is not that easy as on Pie
And for some reason it fixed in my case the annoying but it had about do not disturb, which only worked when an alarm was set, but if there wasn't alarm it never worked
Seems the "AI" camera has been improved or fixed because when i selected AI cam it just never do anything relevant compared with my old V30+, now it recognize stuff such person and so on
Although i love stock music player i just hate the annoying purple tone with it, now it changes depending on the setup of the midnight menu. I think that on a rooted v30+ it could be changed but i am not interested on root it and doubt being on Android 10 could be rooted. But it has integraded FM app radio which i regulary use but being the american version of course it has been removed, so it has to be installed manually
What i like its that now it has integrated viedo screen recorder so good bye third party apps, which in my case i really don't like you know if you don't pay you have adds and stuff related.
But the drag menu is with a bug? i don't know how to explain it but it just goes with the hour and date long... instead of just taking a portion of the screen
I just did it and didn't wait because my v35 is broken so i need to change or leave it as secondary phone, around 20 days ago the fingerprint begun to be erratic and was hit or miss trying to unlock it, i have tried cleaning it but it worked as i mentioned on hit or miss. Right now seems i can't configure it. No idea why it just became erratic. And there was a little crack on top of the screen and it seems it got wet under the screen with a white spot, so i guess it is going to be progressively worst with time. Even i tried the old trick of putting on a zip bag but after i left it for the night, when i opened it in the morning it was just wet...
My only question could be if this can be flashed to the North America firmware...

People who flashed to Korean Pie last year were able to flash to North American Open (NAO) Pie when that was released a month or two later.
For most people, cross flashing from AT&T to NAO first and then waiting for Pie would (using Dev Patched LGUP Upgrade mode) have been the better decision. Instead of cross flashing twice -- to Korean, then again to NAO -- to different variant firmware. NAO was what they really wanted in the first place.
OR if already on NAO, just be patient. Android 10 is coming.

Well it seems that when NAO kdz will be available i will have the G8, as for me the fingerprint stuff drives me nuts right now that is not working lol, it has been a fantastic phone just well i guess it's time to move on. At least is good that can be flashed to NAO easily and with no problems like other brands out there.
Hello everyone,
I cross-flashed Android 10 on my v35 following this guide everything went as expected.
* I restored my backup from original Android 9 without any problems.
* Overall the phone feels faster, the camera experience is better(not sure that it has any benefits in the quality), unfortunately we cannot change lens during video
* The gCam 6.2 that I was using and was previously kinda stable now cannot save the picture, installed a 5.2 version that was stable in G6 -> v30 and v35 and I will be using this one until the problems with 6.x or 7.x are resolved.
* There are some korean apps that can be hidden but it they do not create any problems.
* Gestures are exactly what I needed and far better than FNG (apart from the customization options that are completely missing)
* Battery is also considerably better, but must be tested in time.
Hello to everyone!
Recently i bought an unlocked AT&T LG V35 which i am using it in Europe without any issue.
I want to cross-flash it in NA ULM kdz cause i don't want the AT&T firmware,but after a lot of reading here and there about the way i have to flash,i am a little bit confused,so i have some questions in order to go on.
My phone came with Pie version AWM20c and security patch level July 1,2019.
1)Which version of NA kdz should i download from LG firmwares site?
I see 4 versions..AIO,GFI,AMZ and USA..Maybe the latter is the most suitable?
2)Should i first crossflash it to Oreo NAO firmware and after update to Pie,(like used to do with LG V30 US998 that we must first install Nougat),or going straight away to NAO Pie?
3)The method of crossflashing is the same like LG V30 from other carriers to US998,as it is in Frankenstein thread?
4)Which of 2 methods between Refurbish and Partition DL is better for my case?
I want a completely clean kdz install,because a weird fact happens to my storage capacity in System,which has 16GB of storage used,and i suppose that all this used capacity,is because of AT&T bloated firmware,in addition to my 2 LG V30's,one is AT&T unlocked and the other is open EU 930,that both have about 10 GB used storage from system.
Thank you all in advance for your answers.
Succesfully crossflashed ULM firmware NAO USA 20f,android 9,security patch level February 1,2020.
Previous software version was android 9,AWM20c,security patch level July 1,2019.
I followed the same procedure of Frankenstein LG V30,V30+.
I used the Partition DL mode to flash and everything went fine..just in the end of the process and after the phone rebooted for first time,i got a notification referring the below:
"Decryption unsuccessful
The password you entered is correct,but unfortunately your data is corrupt.
To resume using your phone,you need to perform a factory reset.When you set up your phone after the reset,you"ll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account.
Reset phone"
I don't know if this notification is something bad,but all looked normal after the reset.
No issues till now,no AT&T bloatware,LG logo when powering on,instead of AT&T logo.
As others mentioned,the software version form,remains AWM,instead of ULM.
The previous version from AT&T was AWM20c,now it is AWM20f despite the fact that i have ULM firmware.
I hope my infos can help others in future.
Of course a big thank you goes to everyone here that contributes with their knowledge,making all these useful guides.
