Probably not running. If yes for 09. Can try it, but only if you have a 00.

hello,
is this still 4.4.2 ?

Yes, 4.4.2.

Hi, i don't know why, but i can't apply update.
Always fail, i test it with my 64Gb and a 4Gb Sd card and always fail.
I restore the original recovery but don't seem to work for me (MT-L09)

Is it just me, or does battery life seem even better with this updated firmware?

after the software update I have no way switch between 4g and 3g network.
4g switch disappeared from menu, i can't turn on 4g on after update.
Dose anyone have the same problem?

My phone has 4G as default on, and it is working fine. But if I choose something else like 3G, I don't have a choice to get 4G back. On old firmware I had it as a seperate choice. Luckily, I backed up my phone before I tried this. Just loading old backup. Doesn't really affect me as I never disable 4G, but it is a little strange......
Edit 1:
Restore didn't work. Stuck in bootloop. Will try to figure out a slolution.....
Edit 2:
Managed to get phone on again, and did a factory restore (wiped everything) Started phone up again (like for the first time) and 4G option was back. Now to install my programs again.......

Will the update work on this Firmware: MT7-L09V100R001C00B120SP04 ?
The document inside states that the upgrade is intended for MT7-L09V100R001C00B118SP04 or MT7-L09V100R001C00B121SP05, so not sure if my version can be updated without problems.

I've downloaded old software B120SP04,
and I made an update to the software.
Again have the option to 4G and everything works fine.

4g on and old firmware.

Yes, it works for me.

too bad : I could not install it : "installation aborted" with no further details : not very helpful for debugging !
I'm also having B120 firmware though....

EDIT : finally fine on B120SP04

Honor 6+ for KSA and UAE community

I made this post to gather all Honor 6+ owners from KSA and UAE who bought it from souq (dot) com to share their problems, questions and experiences.

My experience is excellent with 6+. but when i upgraded it to lollipop, all gestures functions were gone!
No double tap to wake screen, no draw to open apps .. even all motion settings like flip mob to mute were disappeared
I used this file for upgrading:
hxxp://7961b64fc16ad15a92ef-9f98f1eddca1ebd26a80f4b64e8bd016.r62.cf3.rackcdn.com/downloads/PE-TL10C900B324.zip
(replace hxxp with http)
I downloaded it from here:
hxxp://hihonor.com/en/pages/support#?view=downloads
(replace hxxp with http)
I tried a factory reset, but it always fail at 10%
I can't call huawei support as i am outside of ksa now.
Any one faced the same problems when upgrading to lollipop?

not yet updated because of these problems. Can you check in gestures settings, if these features are still available? I purchased from Souq UAE

I tried flashing Latest 5.1.1 Chinese Stable Developer Edition , and then use downgrade package provided on Huawei Club Forum by chinese guys , but failed also.

No gestures options at all after upgrading. May you call customer support to ask them about this problem,and when the official upgrade for uae and ksa will be released?

I think that phones provided by souq.com have a modified software(i can't understand why )
So all of MENA region custmores have a buggy update.
We should contact with local provider & huawei to get our rights

any news about this dam update ?

Hi Guys,
Check out the Lollipop and Marshmallow update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-heres-how-update-manually-to-t3323661

I bought my Honor 6+ from Souq.com UAE last month. As i'm residing in India and using Vodafone as my service provider but not able to access data internet (2G/3G/4G) in my phone (working fine with Wifi). It is displaying the 3G/4G symbol at the top but somehow its not working even after getting all the configuration done that is provided by Vodafone.
I tried with multiple service providers (Airtel/Reliance/Aircel/Idea) but its not working either, although the data net is working in another phone using the same SIM. Please help me , let me know if anyone else having the same issue.

I tried the B334 Russia, and it worked fine, but I bricked my phone after I tried to update to the marshmallow as per the following update link but I made one mistake that I did unzipped the 503 update.zip pachage and i only took the update.app file and put it on the dload folder, after that i was unable to boot my phone again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...ly-to-t3323661
and after several attempts to flash so many versions like (B130, B135, B300, B500, B503, B224, B334, B332, B510) I was able by the adb method to update to the latest Marshmallow update of UAE B510 but wifi and Bluetooth don't work anymore, and the mac address shows zeros 02:00:00:00:00 , ANY SUGGESTIONS?
in addition could someone told me the original firmware version that PE-TL10 in saudi comes with and where I can downloaded

Found Marshmellow Update Link for Honor 7
Hi,
I have purchased this phone but sadly its Model Number PLK-UL00 not PLK-L01. I have upgraded to the latest build EMUI4.0_PLK-UL00_6.3.1 which is Android Version 6.0.
My question is - can I upgrade to EU version of the firmware PLK-L01 B320 or less. All I want is to get rid of all the chinese apps and replace them with pure google + english ones. Please help

Can you make a banana milkshake with strawberries? You can't. Same with installing the European build Android on Indian, Chinese etc.

First of all, thanks for posting the link and secondly you can very well update you mobile as I have already done that with your link

Hi - Indian firmware version starts with PLK-UL00IN. My mobile firmware version is PLK-UL00. Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to the India firmware.
My apologies to the admin in advance as I have posted similar question in a different thread. But this thread is more suitable to the topic. I am a novice when it comes to firmware.

I tried updating , it failed.. the software update guidelines.pdf which was part of the update states "software version control problems, you should firstly upgrade a transfer package provided by R&D." wher do i get that ?

Hi I updated it with the link provided. Did the archive download properly? Since it's an internal document, I don't think the package is available in public domain. You can check for the rollback package which is given in one of the threads. It might work. Or use the honor multi tool.
Btw, this update is 2 steps forward and one step back. Some good features like visitor mode have been removed. Call recording has become problematic. Previously, I could record easily using boldbeast call recorder. Settings are much more difficult to find. On the positive side, battery backup has jumped tremendously. Plugged out at 9.40 am today. My phone is still at 75 percent at 6.30 pm with moderate use. There is no doze mode setting but I think they have incorporated some features as I can see that phone goes into sleep when screen is off much more frequently. Also, the awesome themes that lollipop had are no more there. Not even the live wallpapers. Mixed feelings about the update overall.

MD5 checksum is F697BB78C8E8202DC78716C8647E8706.
Yeah I was on 160 and did a local update as you suggested. Better download it again. But frankly, I am finding the update more regressive than progressive.

I think many of us may not be aware as how to perform local update in honor 7 which has marshmallow installed on it. I have gone through it and understand how it feels when you download an update and while trying to find local update option update app. Its frustrating and discouraging too. But I could find the way to do it on some other site. Its simple and easy. Just see below.
How to Update
Unpack the firmware package on your computer.
Transfer the extracted dload folder to your phone’s microSD card.
Take a backup of your important stuff using Huawei’s native app.
Safely unplug the USB cable and turn your phone off.
Reboot while holding Vol Up + Vol down + Power for a few seconds. Release Power upon vibration.
Once the upgrade starts let go of the volume keys and allow the installation to proceed.
And enjoy

Hi guys,
Tried using Mobile Upgrade Q 5..0.0 and it would not download the software , always stuck at 20/100 .

I guess so as i did tried to reflash stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 a few days ago, but it didn´t work. Then i used Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8 but it displayed that i had the latest software so no reflashing at all, i was incapable of reflashing and clearing the \system partition, for me it is a real problem as i was expecting to delete all the traces of SuperSU root, Xposed, etc; with the aim of moving to Magisk and keep passing safetynet. Anyone has any clue so that could help me reflashing latest stock MM ROM?

I was also considering downgrade to LP by performing a restore from my TWRP backup. May be easier and safer, as ELUGA modifies certain branded partitions, I guess... Any inconvenience related to that?

I have never got the mobile upgrade to work, not even this version, and that is a shame because here in Finland we have no OTA since lollipop, and I can not understand how the official MM-rom is nowhere to be found, even if the phone have the option of update from storage. If only I could find the update file, I presumably could update without any rooting or twrp or anything, and keep it factory fresh and under warranty?

I agree with you, that is a bad movement from Alcatel not to give access to ROM zip. It would be so easy to flash it via settings _ apply update from zip, as many devices do. Weeks ago I was desperate to find a stock zip for my 6045Y but no luck. It's a shame to let dye this music lover smartphone.

I have the stock MM rom if anybody wants it.

Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly. I mean, I have already the latest MM stock ROM dated from january of 2017, my device is a 6045Y. However, a few days ago there has been released an update, but my guess is that only for 6045I devices, so i don't have it and can´t reflash my Idol 3 with the same ROM i currently have.
PS:
I tried to flash via TWRP this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 and then use the Mobile Upgrade Q to get the latest MM stock, but Mobile Upgrade Q keeps saying "you have already the latest update" which this statement is not true after flashing this zip. Finally, I restored my TWRP backup so i'm in the same state as i began this morning, i'm tired of this policy of Alcatel that there is no official zip from stock firmwares, the only way is using an online tool thar refuses to reflash the same firmware.

I am from india, using 6045k, lost duel sim support due to flashing of marionette's Rom. Still trying to get duel sim back, tried eluga firmware also, but unfortunately i didn't get any error at 45%. Now i am using flyos 2.0, its working like charm. But only one sim is there, i tried several software upgrader versions, but server is not connecting, its always stuck at 20%.
Its been a year that i am trying to get to stock rom. I have done search in several threads and contacted some senior members but it didn't help,
Pls help me, how can i get back to stock rom and get duel sim Support back??

Next time read before doing With 7.1 there is no longer bootloader mode. Downgrade to 6. Also you dont need to unlock it, there is no better ROMs for this rom. Official one is best. I tried them, so you can save time and use official one.
ALso root not working well with it. I had root but somehow i couldn't delete system apps.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, if so, I can start another.
I recently purchased this phone (B2017G) from Gearbest as well.
It is still on 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
I have been searching for the right update file, starting with the US version, since that is where I live, but no go. The bootloader says
"E footer is wrong
"E:signature verification failed
"E: open file /cache/fota/error_code error erno = 2
'Installation aborted'
Am I right in thinking I need to find the update with the right signature? I have tried US, Austrian and Russian official ZTE updates with no success so far.. Am I on the right track?
US ZTE Support was as helpful as they could be, but were not familiar with the GearBest global variant. They sent me to the global support site, which won't let me use it, since I'm from the US, lol
Any suggestions? I'm going to try the German update from earlier in this thread after I get home tonight, by the way...

I also purchased mine from Gearbest (B2017G). I believe the phone is for the European market as it comes with a EU plug in the sealed box, but not sure for which country. I tried the firmware for the Spanish model http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=D4454D33442F45E192A95718509F4586. The update failed.

I just flashed the Nougat 7.1.1 an hour ago from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73257562&postcount=13.
It already looks promising - the phone is very cool after update. Previously the phone is always warm, even in standby. I hope the battery life is a big improvement.
If you intend to flash this zip file, make sure your phone is a European model B2017G. As posted before I got this phone from Gearbest as many others.

Hi,
Updated to 7.1.1 by OTA 3 weeks ago when i bought the phone from Amazon.
It seems that we'll get Oréo later...amazing ! thks ZTE !

It is not official that Axon 7 Mini (B2017G) will get Android 8 aka Oreo. ZTE should do the update to Oreo as this is one popular phone still.

In a chat with ZTE USA assistance last week, the tech mentioned that Oreo will be rolling out for the Axon 7 Mini in the US.

Once you downgraded and rooted can you upgrade back and keep the root?
Root is needed for this phone because it doesn't allow to move ANY app to SD.I sort of recovered the backup of my apps and data with Helium without root, but I need more internal space: with root you can even enable adoptable storage.
If only we can get access bootloader and flash modified boot.bin with magisk...
At the moment I can only use it as backup phone, my everyday phone LG G5 has 7gigs of whatsapp stuff that can only be internal, but most part of the 130+ apps I got are shared in the SD card.
I don't even need TWRP actually, just root to move apps to SD (or a firmware that allows it, since it's a firmware option...ZTE decision)

Flashing nougat 7.1.1 is the best thing I've done - it basically fixed the battery drain. I had to charge 3 times a day before the update. Last night the battery was only down 3%. This morning I recharged it to 93% before I left for work. At 5pm after a days normal use, it still had 55% left. It's just amazing. I think the update flashed out all the nastiest including the suspicious apps that come with the phone. I have no idea what they are - 99003, 99033, 99035 and more. I suspect they are malware although I cant be sure. They consume battery and keep the phone awake. The phone was warm even in standby.

Stock one

Got the 7.1.1 update...
... in a round-about way. Went here http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=6CCC18CC9451416C8A01BED5174B5762#software and it downgraded my phone to a December 2016 security update.
Flashed the Russian 6.0.1, (had to use the bootloader method for both), then was able to run the Spanish update from ZTE, directly from the System updates menu after extracting the 'update.zip' file from the package and placing it in the root of the SD.
Now running 7.1.1 and happy. I can still access AT&T's US network perfectly, so I didn't destroy the usefulness of my new phone as a phone.
I may eventually put a second T-Mobile sim in it if I think I can live without the SD card's storage...
Edit: I am running a GearBest-purchased phone with 'global' firmware, meaning no official updates available. It is possible that I could have tried to use the Spanish 7.1.1 directly, but I didn't try that before taking the route I did. Just happy *something* worked!

Still no root? Even a firmware where I can patch boot.img with magisk and repack and flash?
I did it with Ulefone S8Pro, but because someone here posted the firmware and it was editable and flashable without getting errors! No TWRP, but who cares, I have adoptable storage and Is essential with those "low" internal memory phones....

A ZTE moderator on the official US site has disconfirmed my report of Oreo on Axon 7 Mini:

No announcements have been made at this time. If a representative has stated this, they have misspoken."

Please disregard my earlier reporting. Although my report was accurate as far as what I had heard, the rep I chatted with was likely mistaken.
