Hello, im currently on b161 and i want to upgrade to b381, do i just place the update zip to dload on sd card and thats it? Im asking because the site im downloading it from doesnt provide uodate data full for b381 but it does for everything else
you could wait for the ota, you'll get 371 first, and then 381. otherwise, try firmware finder, that should be the easiest way to upgrade.
if you want to use the update.zip you need to flash it through twrp, and the update data full file for the same version as well.

Do i need root or unlocked bootloader for any of these
you won't need to unlock for the ota and firmware finder.
you do have to unlock the bootloader to install twrp. there's a few guides for upgrading to nougat, but you have to follow the instructions closely to prevent bricking the phone.

Take rom b162 and use huawei extractor tool to extract recovery and recevery2.img
Then go in fast boot mode and flash both recovery files using fastboot ( you will lose twrp so prepare your dload folder with b162 update.app before )
Then you can load rom using dload technik or using wifi recovery.
Good luck
so i was able to get the stock 7.0 beta back on the L04. but i want to downgrade to 6.0 and it wont let me. i tried with both erecovery and with the dload method and it says it isnt compatible firmware. how can i downgrade? i am still bootloader unlocked if that matters.

Which firmware did you use?
I was able to get back to Marshmallow with the B162 firmware.
i was following a tutorial on upating my Moto g4 Plus to the newest Marshmallow version in order to flash the nougat ota, but as i was trying to flash the mm version it started saying it couldnt downgrade a security patch and now my phone will only boot up into bootloader mode, i need help in fixing this

Please read the post carefully before typing in any stupid commands that can screw up your phone.
Follow instructions EXACTLY as mentioned in this post.
The reason you are getting a “security downgrade” error is because you are trying to downgrade your bootloader, or GPT partitions. You cannot do that on the device.

Didn't you make backup...? First thing one should do is it....
You cannot flash official zip either soak or final by TWRP, you need stock recoveryfor that...
Now you can only do is flash stock via fastboot method (but you updated to soak it is not preferable)
Try this:
download any custom ROM from development, and load it to memory card, and flash it....

Since you haven't made backup, you have to go with fastboot flashing... As you updated soak your bootloader is now updated with it, don't downgrade it.... You will see gpt and downgrade errors while flashing... I can't say anything more about it, i didn't try that.....
You can follow guides available, see in guide section...

I download the packacke via OTA and restart device. Then it boots to TWRP. I have to reboot device again and it goes back 6.0.1 with failed update notification. My deivice is unroot and still lock bootloader. Is there anyone having the same issue with me? And possible way to fix?
Thanks

It still fails. After restarting device it boots into installing screen with miFavor logo instead of TWRP. The processing bar runs to about 24% then stops to reboot. I notice that the log at bottom screen say mismatch. And I got message system update package does not match the phone.

You have to install it in stock recovery. Put it on your FAT32 sdcard and then in stock recovery select "Apply update from sdcard".

Sorry, you can't sd upgrade
I think you have to enable OEM unlock in developer options, first. Then, you can install B29 via SDCard.

Thanks. I forgot to unzip the file and put it in the root of sd card and I have done what you said too. It is running installation now.
I'm failing now? I went from ZAD v.3 back to stock B29 (I have an unlocked bootloader). I do have the MiFavor recovery (not TWRP)
I got the notification there was an upgrade, it took 6 hours to download... but the update "failed". I tried applying the update via SD card, but I get about 32% in and says "Update failed"......It also lists "Status 8" and "system partition has unexpected contents".
Sounds like y'all are having a hell of a time between the slow OTA speeds and then getting it to actually flash.
So I think I'll hold off for now. Hopefully we can get some TWRP-flashable zips soon enough... I think DrakenFX is already busy with all that
You guys are making this way too complicated.
The full B29 firmware will flash just fine with twrp.
Only OTA *updates* require the stock recovery. The difference is the update patches existing files while the full firmware contains full partition images.
Be aware if you download the full b29 firmware from zte, it will also replace your recovery and bootloader. You won't be able to flash recovery from the bootloader/fastboot screen then. Also, it wipes all your data.
DrakenFX put out a modified version of the full firmware file which doesn't modify the bootloader. I believe it also leaves the recovery intact.
After flashing official A2017U B29 firmware from ZTE the signal network service is lost. I ignore this and continue to upgrade to Nougat successfully and I get lost signal. I notice that Dual Sim Setting is working. Does official firmware overwrite original chinese baseband/bootstack? Can someone please upload chinese baseband/bootstack A2017 please?

No more complicated than it's turned out to be....
I followed DrakenFX's guide to B29 stock... The Nougat OTA downloaded, in 6 hours, but failed. So, I tried the SD card method, and it also failed at 32%.
Not sure what else I can do? Just wait for DrakenFX to make ZAD v.4 is my plan for now since I already wasted about 11 hours trying to upgrade today, and another 3 restoring back 6.0.1 and all my apps.

No problem upgrading using the OTA on an sdcard here. Flashed the draken stock_system zip, then fastboot flashed the B29 stock recovery. Reboot to recovery (which is now stock) and update from sd card. If you've messed with other partitions, you may need to flash more B29 .img's.

Hi guys
What is the least troublesome way of getting to 7.1.1 rooted/twrp from 6.0 rooted/xposed/unlocked/twrp installed ?
I'm willing to wipe, and would really just like a flashable zip but don't see any.
I'm not that familiar with update.zip's , but it seems like that might be the long way around, is to wipe system, apply the update.zip from ZTE and then accept the latest OTA? I don't know if that overwrites TWRP or whether an update.zip will even apply over TWRP ... ?
thanks for any advice

I don't know if you can get to 7.1.1 yet, but you can get to 7.0. I think you might have to wipe, and XPosed isn't availible for Nougat quite yet. The OTA update from ZTE won't work because your phone doesn't have the stock signature. Most stock ROMs you flash will take away TWRP and replace it with the stock recovery.

Flash original unrooted B560 via TWRP and wait for OTA.
Hmm I got OTA for L29C432B581 today but I'm on unlocked bootloader, rooted and on TWRP so I haven't tried to accept the update. As I understand it, it won't work to update given that I don't have stock recovery.

You need stock boot.img and system or the OTA will fail. Just download B560 full and flash it in TWRP, that will unroot, restore stock system, restore stock boot.img, restore stock recovery. Then you can install OTA without any issues (you do not have to lock your bootloader).

B560 it's not just only the usual "update.zip" file, there's also the "update_full_hw_eu.zip" file.
If I reinstal B560 again just to get the B581 OTA, have I to reinstal both files or only "update.zip"??
Thx in advance!!

I suppose that also the "Dload" methot should be work in case my phone misses the OTA, right?
Did flashing both files work for you zappomax?
To answer my own question, i did a fresh install of 560 through twrp following this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/how-to-install-nxt-l29c432b560-official-t3540042 , but without installing rootfiles. After phone set up update to 581 was offered in system update. Tried to install (796 Mb update) but failed to pass verification.
After reboot in 'old' 560 connected phone to hisuite which offered me the full (2.2Gb) update to 581. This one installed without problems.
Rooted with Magisk afterwards.
My solution is to flash stock boot.img and update using hisuite..i was in 560 before..

Is it possible to just download the b180 update.zip and ...full_hw...zip, and flash? Instead of flashing the old b560 zips?
From 581 to 180 is a downgrade, so i guess you need to flash a downgrade package before you can flash 180 software.
boot loop after flashing boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, cust.img through fastboot. I also wipe data and cache after flashing
