hey guys, im using the zenfone 3 ze552kl. and i rooted my z3 right after i updated my firmware to the first official nougat firmware for zenfone 3 which is Version WW-14.2015.1701.8.
and recently, i checked on this website https://www.asus.com/in/support/Download/39/1/0/28/CHukp94xOkwRMIP4/32/ the latest firmware for zenfone 3 is Version WW-14.2020.1708.56 which came out 20 days ago.
so my question is, should i update my zenfone 3 to the latest WW-14.2020.1708.56? or should i stay with WW-14.2015.1701.8 because WW-14.2020.1708.56 has a lot of bugs?
thank you in advance.
It's all good and fine except 3rd party theme no longer supported to which i wasn't able to retain my close to stock android quick setting. If it doesn't matter to you then go ahead.
I find the newer versions to be much more stable. Give it a try, re-rooting is easy.

Are you sure? Then why so many bad reviews at here https://www.asus.com/zentalk/in/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=152944&extra=page=1&page=2&mobile=2
The reason why I asked should I update to the latest firmware or not cause I'm rooted, I can't even checked if there's any system update in settings, so in order for me to update is to manually flash the firmware instead of installing it ota.
Anyway, my current version I'm using is nougat 14.2015.1701.8. it is the first ever official nougat firmware given to the ze552kl. And so far I'm using it, I have no issues at all, no bugs. But I'd like to stay up to date knowing there's a latest and recent firmware out there. But is it worth it? Since my current version is already stable for me.
Are u sure the latest firmware has no bugs? Or should I just stay on my current firmware version?

I've been testing each new version before it comes out through ASUS' beta program. I've found newer firmwares to fix more and more bugs, with no downsides.
Updating is super easy if you sideload the update via adb and simply install Magisk when you're done for root. I did it just the other day and it took me less than 15 minutes.
Edit: It's still 7.0, by the way.
The update is certainly pleasing and anyone agree that the camera takes better pictures in lack of light situation in auto mode ?

There was a short period where they were accepting applications. Only a few people got in, myself included. They might open it up again when there's a beta version of Android Oreo for your model.
By the way, the ZE520KL has 3GB of RAM and 32GB storage. The ZE552KL model has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.

Hi all, I'm a US user with W09 and would like to get it to Nougat - I have read the entire "Update to EMUI 5.0" thread and there appeared to be several possible routes, but most were regarding the European version.
I have a US Wi-Fi model and have no allegiance in keeping it a US one, if there's a way to remove the regional aspect to gain access to the update (BETA or otherwise).
I would greatly appreciate if someone who has some experience with or is very confident of the correct path would shed some light for me.
Thank you!

I've just finished reading the entire thread linked above that mentions that method a number of times, so I'm certainly familiar with it, but haven't tried it because sprinkled throughout that thread are plenty of issues encountered. Also, there's no mention of US hardware/firmware specific instructions.
I'm on W09 as mentioned in the OP - thanks for the reply!

I'm away from my tablet at the moment but will do later on when I get home.
We will see after that what we can do. I have updated my tablet to Nougat, but I have BTV-DL09 (4G European version).
To change region I think you have to unlock bootloader.

Here's what's in firmware finder @33adi
What's the advantage to switching from US to EU roms? I unlocked, rooted, enabled 5ghz band for wifi, and now only need nougurt but much like the original poster not sure the best route.

The advantage of removing the US stock rom is that the European one has a beta available that is very stable. My thread is seeking someone who's confident of the steps to 1st going European & 2nd installing nougat once there, as there was some debate of complexity to doing even that.
I've been through exactly what you are wanting to do @dutchdoggs54 . Unfortunately I can't tell you step by step how I got to where I'm at.
I was on W09128BXXX out of the box . Read the topic that you have linked in your first post and decided to do it using firmware finder to force the update to Nougat as they described. It actually went very well and Nougat worked great with the exception of Bluetooth not working.
I have to say during the upgrade when it booted into recovery and it was TWRP I was concerned. Believe it had an error but it worked and replaced TWRP as I recall with a stock recovery.
So after all that I decided I wanted my tablet branded as a BTV-W09C100B006. Below is the topic where a member thought they bricked their tablet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/how-to/bricked-m3-btv-w09-t3612699
They were given directions to download the Full update package for the version I just mentioned.
This member got their tablet working again and in the process found that 5Ghz wifi is enabled on C100B006 by default.
That was the main reason I rooted my tablet.
I followed the directions knowing I force install a different version of Nougat from your link.
Downloaded the full version software and dropped it in the dload folder on my US tablet and did the upgrade.
Tablet rebooted and shortly after it rebooted again going to recovery (I tried may times to boot). Don't recall the error but after I unlocked my bootloader again it reset the tablet and I was able to access it again. I did relock the bootloader so I can see updates without any problems after that.
In the end I got what I was after. My tablet shows as a BTV-W09C100B006 and can check for updates.
5Ghz wifi is enabled by default. As I said I relocked the bootloader so I'm not rooted. Overall it's works so well I'll wait for Nougat to get released and then do the official upgrade. After the scare of booting to recovery it was worth every nervous minute of it.
Try to talk to OP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/...-root-t3374068
Maybe he can make this app available to Mediapad M3, then changing OEMINFO will be easy.
I posted a question there.
No luck
Ok, so I tried following @Samavb's great instructions and guidance in the other thread last night. Made it all the way to the point where he says to install 009 from the Huawei website - got it downloaded and loaded up on the tablet only to find that it wouldn't install because the 009 file on the website is BTV-DL09 not the BTV-W09 version a US tablet would need.
So I got frustrated and tried installing the B301 build that appeared on firmware finder when I was on the W09-006 build...this was nougat and was cool but no keyboard and the play store wouldn't install anything, so I was forced to revert back to 006.
So, long story short, hours of work have confirmed that there doesn't appear to be a way to get a US tablet to fully functional Nougat at the moment. If there was a 009 or 010 build like Samavb mentions for the US model, maybe it would work, but those aren't anywhere to be found - firmware finder, russian site he mentions or otherwise.
So, I'll happily sit on 006 and wait for a US OTA update. That is unless anyone can tell me exactly how to make this US model into a European model.
Same boat as original poster. US w09 on build c128b003. Firmware finder just finds the same version. Anyone know when there might be a us version update released. I thought it was supposed to be may so have been waiting patiently.....but may is over.

In Firmware Finder select the menu in the top left corner. (3 bars)
Right below your model number, select change model and enter BTV-W09C100 and then search.
You should see B301 and it's a full OTA. However, as I understand it this is just a beta/test release.
Only issue I had with it, bluetooth didn't work. Seeing as how I don't use it, didn't bother me.
I highly recommend you fall back to the other topic about forcing the upgrade to Nougat.
Only difference from my tablet and yours. I was on C128B002. I had already rooted and couldn't get that update.
Also US 64gb version here and hoping for an update to Nougat and EM5. Would love to see it!
Huawei have been quite attentive for updates in other markets which is great. Too bad the non-LTE version in US doesn't get the same love.
Buying this tablet was a roll of the dice for me, banking on the hope that Huawei would be attentive to software updates (for all markets) and custom ROMs could serve as back up/enjoyment. This tablet has solid hardware and with another launcher it is decent.
Sadly, my experiment to try out a non-Nexus device without the latest (or close to pure) Android version is coming to an end. The last M3 sold on Swappa went for around $300.

from what i gather. if you're going from MM to Nougat, you need to install the Full OTA. for that, there are 2 files, you will need both of them. from there, i'm not sure.

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.

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:

Hi,
I have an Huawei P10 Plus Dual SIM VKY-L29C636 with the current running Firmware VKY-L29C636B172
The last update was in November 2017 since then I don't get any new Updates displayed in the settings.
I downloaded the App "Firmwarefinder for Huawei" and it shows me the following newer Firmware Versions:
VKY-L29C636B210
VKY-L29C636B211
Does anyone use this new Versions?
Should I update to one of this new Versions?
Just check firmware access see if you approved to update. My FF already shows B301 which is Oreo but denied access when checking it.
Depends where you live. I got tge same phone and I don't have access to download and update.

The latest model is 211 and you can install it via HWOTA. I don't know anyone using this version. But probably there were no changes after all. Only simple performance tweaks. Otherwise software already stable.
For me latest firmware is 321 however says not authorised to download it..
I've installed the new Version VKY-L29C636B212
It has the Android Security Patches from January 2018
The first thing I discovered, that the phone runs a lot smoother, espacally when scrolling websides in Firefox.
The secound thing I discovered, is that the phone has more free ram, old Version round about 3,6GB, the B212 has 4,5GB free ram.
This are the first impressions, if i discover more, I let you know.

You download full OTA or OTA?
I did the Full OTA, but be carefull there are 2 Versions!
The Version with "PV" didn't work and almost bricked my Phone. I had to load an older Version thru recovery to get it back working.
The Version "FullOTA-MF" is working fine, I only had to wipe the cache and make an Factorydefault after updating, because the phone was in
a boot loop.
My Phone is running fine with the Version 212 and has now a way better Batterylife :good:

Ota would come from your Huawei updater in over a week or so. Just update it if you authorised.
Now I have Updated to Oreo :good:
Everything works fine, I have only one question:
The Phone is using the Treble Project (see screenshot).
Why is there only one partition, does this mean that fast Updates are not working?

You have to have 3 partition for treble.. And even tho Huawei said p10 plus supports treble it's not the case. Or maybe need to do full factory reset so new firmware will partition correctly im not sure
Samsung Galaxy S8+ Duos SM-G955FD just got updated to Android 9.0 Pie. My S8+ is unlocked and sourced from UAE.
I checked the update manually and installed it when it showed update available.

In India also I recieved it two days back.
Phone is more snappier, fluidic and looks cool with the OneUI interface.

Yes got it yesterday. Try connecting to PC and run smart switch. I started downloading but it terminated prematurely. I then found and downloaded the update through OTA.
Nothing for U series, not even a beta >.<
I'm in the UK with a G955FD. The download has now become available. I may not install it as I like the facility to record calls, not possible with 9.0. I might prefer to wait for a custom ROM based on 9.0 with the facility restored.

What's New - Upgraded One UI for Android Pie
I have not installed it yet as I am skeptical about performance issues after installing it. Those who have installed it, Can you please share your experience so far? Are you facing any kind of issues?
My friend installed it on S9 Plus and it botched his Contacts List Completely. Any such issues in S8 Plus?
UI 1.1
I have a question whether S8 + gets an update to UI 1.1 or that samsung does not issue any UI interface updates.

Well, so far after the last March act. is not. I don't believe that much: / don't you know how S9 + is? if you have 1.1 UI?
Batterylife is absolute crap on Pie.
Uses 30% more battery in a day than on previous firmware.

have you done a factory reset? this is a major update. i would always do one when going up a whole version. most people i have seen including myself and all of my close friends have been amazed at how great the battery is. if you havent done a reset yet there is really no reason to claim it has bad battery. there are so many things that can get messed up with a big ota. if that is how you got it anyway.
I have in Ireland

I do not understand what you are asking ... I installed the last update and everything works as it is just the version of UI is still 1.0 which I thought might already give 1.1 but this probably won't get S8 +
I upgraded this week and it's been a pain, split screen stopped working so factory reset, about 4 hours after the reset the same happened again ,reset again solved that but now status bar has disappeared, so can only check the battery by swiping down. Just wish I could downgrade ! Leave it a while before upgrading would be my advice.
Can't agree with that. Running latest u1 beta and it is pretty much flawless. daily driver all day.

This update just came out today. Patch notes state April security patch and "general" improvements. I installed it and surprise surprise, STILL no Always-On Display (AOD) 6 months after unlocked version got it. Lesson learned, never buying a carrier branded device again.
No issues with the update otherwise I take it?
This is why I finally did a bootloader unlock and flashed the international software. Now I'm on the beta have a more up to date security update and all the features.

It's as stable as any of the other Android 11 updates. Rarely it loses bluetooth connection to my car but it's been like that for me since the first Android 11 update. Launcher still stops responding for 15 seconds if I try to lock the screen right after disabling work profile. That's been a problem since the first Android 11 update too though.

Are you on Tmo? Still getting 5g service? I need to switch from this new update to a global ROM - any advice on which steps to take?
Check this thread to convert to global. Happy modding!
