You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

How can i root if i have this current version can anyone help me?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Do you guys capture the download link?

Does anyone have a link to download it. I would prefer to not have to put my phone back to full stock to get to then reroot and set my phone back up.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what
"Resolution to lock screen production issue"
meant.

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

Well you gave me hope and i found some site called devlab that had a tutorial with comments. In the comments i seen mention of an 85.1 alt version that a few were able to install. Short story : I got it installed and im happy on pe2 using the alt version

86 updated version works best. And is newest.

You can skip updates with Odin. PG1 has been the best MM update to date for me.

UPDATE: Axon 7 A2017U Build 27

According to this post on the ZTE forums, the OTA should be available in 24-72 hours for the US variant.
Link: https://community.zteusa.com/thread/12438
I thought they said they would be releasing the stock images along with the OTA though? Or did I misunderstand something. . .

no T-mobile wifi calling update?

Well it's not obviously stated in the changelog, but it may be one of the "minor enhancements" in #7, although I doubt it. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

"adb logcat" on a computer while checking for the update on the phone. It will always list the update URL. It's a pretty big patch -- 376 MB. Boot and recovery are modified but no separate fastboot. So either that's been added into the normal partition commands, or it's still going to be an OTA to enable bootloader unlocking.

Can't wait to hear from the brave souls who update first have to say. I'm goign to keep my root/twrp for now

"B27" Downloaded and installed. Not all of what everyone/most where asking for, but substantial enough to make a believer out of me. Security patch level at September 1, 'Backup account' no longer greyed out, tweeked signal strength indicator, audio no longer drops out when starting camera and probably a host of other tweeks under the hood.

No announcement about stock images, not good.

I have OTA

Strangely enough, I have dropbox installed after the update.
Unless I butt installed it just before (I do not use dropbox).

I'm fairly sure that the last update for the EU model installed an app as well (though not Dropbox).

How do we make a twrp flashbacks zip out of this that won't take away twrp?

Anyone that rooted without unlocking the bootloader tried this update?

Just updated and step count showed up.

Good to hear ZTE brings another software upgrade.
Hope the European version not too long to receive same level of treatment.
Can I ask if seeing any improvements on double tap to wake responsive to be more accurate with a range of press or the same behavior as being from beginning??
Thanks.

I'm currently on stock B20, locked and unrooted.
I posted the same in @DrakenFX's thread, but I'm happy to try out whatever folks think would be best:
1.) Unlock via the thread instructions and then update to B27
2.) Update to B27, then try to unlock via the thread instructions
3.) Other?

Cheers, no clue what could be in this one other then monthly security patch

Downloading now, will report back if its Android 8.0 Oatmeal

With a size of 477 it's probably just a security update, but my phone is running nice and smooth after the update. Probably just a placebo effect.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.

Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

The hotspot mod still works

Did an OTA download for this and was wondering am I good to install it, even though I'm rooted and running some Xposed mods? I'll do a back up and see what happens.. But was wondering if I should bother?

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.

Can someone upload this?

Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.

I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

I'm not official right now to check. But when I last downloaded an ota, I think it's in /data/fota folder.
If you find it, can you upload it, please?

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.

pg4 so far so good. HOW DO I ROOT? help appreciated.

Hmmm.. For me PH4 seems about the same as PG1. No problems here. Still getting the usual 16 hours runtime / 4 hours screen time.

[Discussion] OTAs on Rooted Huawei/Honor phones- Confirmed

Saw many post from new users and senior members as well and most of the time there are lot of confusion on the OTA part, especially for the rooted phone. Few says it gets (I am one of them) and few says it doesn’t as rooting capabilities modifies the system boot.img and also we have unlocked bootloader so device wont get the OTAs. I have been using the Huawei/Honor phones for 2 years now and have been getting all the OTAs on rooted phone and confirmed the same many time but still there are lot of confusion and users thinks they wont get OTA on rooted phone.
Just confirming here that you will receive OTAs on rooted phone without any issues. This is 2nd update on my phone since rooted in past 2 months.

Instructions-
If you are rooted but then rolled back to stock recovery, just download the OTA and update.
If you are rooted with TWRP recovery, flash the stock recovery first and then download the OTA to update. (TWRP wont be able to update OTA)

My phone is with modified boot.img by magisk. It was just updated to B388 sucessfully without swithing back to stock boot.

It will remain intact. No data loss. Well Chris, i can confirm on the OTA part but you never know the unforeseen consequences. I mean can run into trouble sometimes as Huawei/Honor phones are prone to brick in seconds. I would say to not update in such scenarios.

DP4 OTA went live just a few hours after images were posted, perhaps this one will be the same.

Huh, I was expecting it the first Monday of August. Whatever. Downloading now.

Better early than late!

Rebooting now from manual install. Woot!

Just finished the update, booted to twrp, installed twrp, unlocked data with pattern, installed twrp and magisk 16.7 now when booting it wont accept my pattern and now rebooting into the installed twrp the touch screen doesnt work.
Rebooted, now the pattern works, ill check twrp again.
TWRP now working, that was weird.

You should be fine. You could even flash the OTA in twrp if you wanted. Either way, you'll lose twrp and root anyways. But no big deal to install them again :good:

Question?... I originally installed an earlier developer/beta version of Andriod P on my Pixel 2 XL however I had issues pairing my S3 gear watch with my phone while on Android P. It seemed that with the correct original plugins that my samsung gear S3 watch would continue to pair but the Samsung gear App would just force close upon trying to open it. I had erased the plugins and had to get off Android P back to 8.1 to reinstall the plugins at which time I opted to just stay on 8.1.
So my question is has anyone had any luck using the Samsung gear watch App in DP5, and/or have you had any pairing issues??? Wondering has anyone encountered this?

I'm on verizion ,but I took out sim card on DP4 did factory reset set phone up then insert card so I don't get the bloat when it was released.I just received the OTA to DP5 about an hour ago.

Any changes in this last release?

I'm a little disappointed with Android p. I feel like it's half baked. Gestures aren't the most intuitive, dark theming is pointless. Not sure why the the settings and the rest of the UI isn't dark. Animations need more work. And the bad news, is this what the final version will look like.

NFC working in this preview build?

I've been on Phone since DP2. Zero problems with my gear. Just do not do a clean flash to P or a factory reset on P. I did the latter in O then took the DP2 OTA.
