Hey all,
My phone has finished downloading the latest update, but I'm holding off on updating until I know that it doesn't close out my option of rooting at a later date. Is that the case? Or should I hold off just in case?
Mine updated to 13a and i have root and twrp
Same here. I updated, then did the bl unlock/twrp/root. Works great!

Can you explain what you did? New to this phone. Havent even connected it to wifi yet. Should I root/twrp first and then update? I was under the impression that updating could remove twrp, and then Id have the possibility of losing root/unlocked bootloader.
What should I do to ensure Ill keep my options open in the future?

So unlock, install twrp, and then do not install the new update right? Would I even be able to install the update if I tried?

Update Zip is online in the romsection.
there is also a step by step.
with the zip you do not lose twrp.
for root flash supersu or magisk directly after installing the rom.
Does the latest update increase battery life

So, I'm currently running cloudyg2 2.2, and I'm thinking about downgrading back to stock and then taking the OTA to lollipop, but I haven't heard anyone mention if it is possible to retain root through the update process, or to obtain root afterwards. It'd be great if there was a flashable zip, but I don't know if that's possible at the moment.
You can get root again. Its a script in the development forum.
If you do this can you make a twrp backup of the stock lollipop rom and upload it? (since you'll essentially be pure stock anyway).
I'll buy you a beer
I see a link for a tool you use while connected to a computer, but does stump root still work?

No, all on-device roots are patched with Lollipop (unless you have a custom recovery, which is unobtainable on stock lollipop for the d800 as far as I know)
Use the one that requires PC. If you run into issues, pm me or reply to me on this thread.

root is easy, and ill confirm about bump recovery in 30 mins, charging phone for any re flashing required.
recovery is good to go now autorec for specific model at playstore.
Please upload flashable zip of this official AT&T lollipop.
Does anyone know if downgrading back to kitkat is a possibility at this point in time?

I'd assume you could just use a kdz to go back.
So.. no recovery as of yet on official Lollipop am I right?
Keeping that in mind, is it worth the update? Is it smoother/better?
I know this can be asked in any of the other threads, but I'm asking here with respect to its worth when compared to losing Custom Recovery.

Hey I bought an Axon 7 A2017 from China and I just figured out that it doesn't have OTA updates because the buyer installed a multi-language OS that prevents OTA .Please I want to know how to enable ota or a way to update manually to the latest android Nougat . Can you please give me a simple method because I'm a real noob in flashing and unlocking smartphones. I want only to update the stock OS to the latest android version and then root the smartphone in order to install some root required apps.
Thanks Folks.
Any help please ?

I don't have the chinese version, but you have to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP, then you'll be able to install the stock ROM. Try to use bkores's axon7toolkit
Also try searching for this (in Q&A), I'm 100% sure this has been asked at least twice before. You could've gotten an answer much sooner if you had tried to find an old post that asks the same

Not guides, just people who asked this already. This is really common.
Or you can just go the easy way and try using the axon7toolkit, it will ask you what model it is, and you can put A2017

process is the zip file for b013. unzip and place on root of an SD card. Then trigger system update via system updates in settings. Phone will detect the file. then it's a domino effect after that of updates. Current one is 7.1.1

Just update to B13, it doesn't matter if the latest OTA doesn't appear, you'll probably need to install more than one OTA. Also, if you'll do it this way don't unlock the phone until you get the latest version.

I bought a used Axon 7 A2017. It already has TWRP on and the model number is reported as ZTE A2017 in "About phone".
Currently it's on Android 6.0.1 and I can't update from the settings menu. How do I update to latest Android?
not sure, I'm not a rooting man. I need my phone to be stock. certain apps do not run if you root a phone

You can use a flashable system zip and use it on TWRP, I think DrakenFX made some for the A2017. Otherwise you need to flash the a2017 stock recovery on it (with a flashable zip like tron1's or drakenfx's) and then use the update feature on the phone.
Hello!
I have recently installed November Update and now I want to root my phone. Does anybody know a method so I will root my phone after that update (or maybe it isn't necessary)? I need certainty, that it will work.
Cheers!

Heh, I have noticed that. I think I'll just wait for November patch, then use AIO Tool.
A: Yes, you'll recieve official OTAs as long as you have stock recovery installed. But there are chances that after rooting if you install any OTA then it might brick your mobile.

Does it mean, that there is a chance, that after installing OTA update (with root), my phone may got bricked/bootloped/etc.?
Hi everyone, today I will be telling you all how to get back to stock as long as your bootloader states "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
You will need to install this, this is super duper important! https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
When installing, you will see the error: "E: Unknown command []]"
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
That is supposed to happen lol.
Installation procedure -
1. Flash this TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18uHjW73Th8iYKIs5m_QgwleMIOjsZd7S/view?usp=sharing
2. Wipe everything except SD card, then choose "Format data" to decrypt device
3. Reboot once again into TWRP (NOTE: If you are using USB OTG cable, make sure to plug it in AFTER TWRP is fully booted and ready to go, if you do it early, you get an error, which is weird lol. EDIT: Not sure if this error is still present in the new twrp, but it's never bad to play it safe.)
4. Flash HuRUpdater, make sure the file names are correct!
5. Reboot into stock recovery
6. Factory reset and wipe cache partition
7. Reboot
This method also enables themes to work again, so no need to worry about that!
Lots of thanks to @zxz0O0 to providing this awesome tool
And more thanks to the OpenKirin community for helping me out when flashing this! :good::good::good:
hello crayonicle, hehe im on the dot os for now, im interested going back to stock. will i get official updates backs from honor if i go back to stock using this method?
do i need to install the HuRUpdater only as the instruction shows? or follow as the link to the other thread shows?

hi op,
does this work on L24 the usa version?
What update.zip file did you use? can you point to the link?
Also, does this update take the recovery to stock with no TWRP?

Yes, after flashing this via twrp, if you reboot once again to recovery, it is stock recovery, not twrp.
