What is B20 & B27 ? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi. I've bought Axon 7 from US. I've seen B20 and B27 on forum. What are they?
edit: i got it. they are build number. topic could be deleted.

The North American model is the A2017U. Since its launch, it has had 3 official updates.
The initial gold batch shipped with firmware version B18.
The initial grey batch, as well as all current batches, shipped with B20, and an OTA update for B18 to B20 was pushed out to the gold units.
An OTA update was pushed out to all models to update from B20 to B27, which fixes some bugs, updates the security patch, and adds in some small new features.

H870s update

Lg h870s is stuck on july scurity update and v10f software version. Is it normal? And when it will get oreo?
It's not normal since all unlocked tops are at least with September patch, and Oreo is expected in these months, so, who knows, only LG does...
H870 users stuck on V10T with july patches. As rumored, Oreo 8.0 could arrive between november and december.
Devices from other brands, even older, have already received october patches but, apparently, LG does so well! Very disappointed: /
The same for h870. v10t and july patch. The only thing i hate on lg is the update ..
If you do a bit of searching there is an 11b firmware update kdz for Mexico that is at the October security patch level. Works fine on the EU H870 and fixes the Blueborne vulnerability.
The krack vulnerability is still there so hopefully some other country gets the November patches soon

Just remember this is for the H870, not for the DS model.

Is this still getting updates in other regions?

I've been using the m3 for around 6 months now and so far the stock rom is still on nougat 7.0 with may security update, which for my model, btv dl09 c100, dates back to 15 6 2017 according to firmware finder. I've searched for btv w09 c233 on firmware finder and it seems this variant has gotten updates monthly pretty much for a full year. Does anyone have a variant of this tablet that still gets updated? Are the updates I see for the w09 233 variant using newer security patches and bug fixes?
Same here. May. I really like the M3 but I was annoyed when I acquired it last month and found there was no OTA to 7.0.
Fine, you can use firmware finder but it leaves me feeling I have a grey market device.

[XT1642] no OTA after downgrade from N soak test

Hey guys,
I've been on nougat soak test since it's release back in 2016 and decided to downgrade to Marshmallow today. I am now on MPJ24.139-48 (6.0.1) and when I search for updates my device tells me that it's already up to date.
Is it normal? How can I get the lastest official firmware?
Sorry if my english isn't the best, it isn't my native language.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that build should be updating to MPJ24.139-63/64 and then updating to Nougat.
However, as you've downgraded, it's not necessarily a good idea to use OTA updates. To be safe, you could look into flashing the NPJS25.93-14-13 v7.0 Nougat stock Dec 2017 stock firmware here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138
What software channel is your device? This firmware has been deployed to Indian, Brazil, EU and UK devices as far as I've seen, and if you're in those territories you should expect to receive OTA updates. Whilst you may be okay with flashing this firmware on other countries' device variants, you may not receive OTA updates.
On a retGB (UK) XT1642 device, this NPJS25.93-14-13 firmware is running well though.

Hi and thank you for your answer. I am from France, I don't really mind not having OTA's if I can flash updates. It is juste that I have been away from xda for more than a year so I'm a bit lost with all the firmwares around. OTA just feels easier.
Will try this firmware tho.

L24 latest firmware update

Today, I just got a new firmware update that takes my Honor 7X US version from BND-L24567B140 to B150
Update says only: Google Stagefright: Google security patches are merged to make your device more secure.
Google security patch is updated to latest i.e. March 1.
I got this update even though I am in Mexico on Movistar local SIM and local provider. So it does not seem to depend on location.
I have another Honor 7X with T-Mobile SIM but it did not get the update yet. Still on B140. Maybe it is a staged update over several days.
Nothing really new. Still no news on Oreo update.
Joe
Whicheans Oreo would be rolled in 3-4 months
I got that update yesterday also on the L24. Nothing special which is very disappointing. Got excited for a couple seconds until I read the description

LON-L29C432B371 has anyone successfully installed this?

I can see LON-L29C432B371 (8.0.0.371) on the Firmware Finder app.
It's the June security patch.
It has been there for 9 days but still says not approved for device.
I only had to wait a few days for the May security patch LON-L29C432B370 to be approved.
Has anyone been able to install B371 yet?
How does the approval work? Do Huawei add devices gradually or does a firmware get approved for everyone at the same time?
Sorry for the questions but I've only had my Mate 9 Pro about 6 weeks. It's a LON-AL00 Chinese model but I successfully rebranded it to a LON-L29C432 European model.
I got the 371 update today and it is stable. Rooted with the kangvip installer and everything is fine and dandy.
