Hi,
tl;dr: Is there a download link available for the WW_V21.40.1220.1698 official firmware?
Details:
I have a ZE600KL and this official page says Marshmallow is released for it.
I have unlocked bootloader and currently stock recovery and ROM, that I've flashed myself by downloading from the official support page (1.16.40.1523_20160426). I've been checking for updates from Settings>About>System Update for a while, to no success. I used to have a root but flashing the 1.16 seems to have removed it. And if I flash TWRP and reboot to recovery, it asks me whether it should leave the system partition untouched. So this makes me think I should be able to receive the OTA, normally. And yet, as I said, no such luck.
I've seen some ROMs that mention they require MM firmware for ZE600KL, such as this one. Again, this makes me thing some people out there must have received the 21.40 update (or any Marshmallow update) for their ZE600KL. I've been searching the internet but I didn't find this firmware anywhere. If somebody knows a link or if by some enormous kindness somebody uploads this, I'd be really grateful.
Thank you in advance to anyone who replies
Edit: I came across this link but I haven't yet been able to verify if it works, will update after I try:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE600KL/UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.1698-user.zip
Second Edit: The zip in the link flashes and boots. I'm sorry to have created a thread and then manage to solve it on my own later, but hopefully this might be helpful to other ZE600KL owners in the future.
hi everybody, got this phone from my wife but I have been with Nexus for so long so I am a little bit behind the scene. Could anyone answer my questions? I don't see too many people here though.
I have unlocked the phone and installed TWRP, I think I have accidentally agreed to install the TWRP app suggested by TWRP but I don't have a system image backup, so it means I can never go back to OTA upgrade? now the boot loader say
*** software status: modified ***
seems HTC is not releasing factory image for the phone? I can't find it anywhere except this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/development/ruu-htc-ultra-unlocked-1-09-617-12-t3563948
I am not sure how many different hardware versions are there? and they are taking the same ROM? I am using a asia dual sim ver
at first the official TWRP doesn't boot, and I installed this one. but this TWRP ask me for a disk mount password, while I don't have any. I was busy and so I have put down the phone for 2 weeks. I installed the offical TWRP again yesterday and it worked. so...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-ultra/development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3558540
after installing super su the system boot up screen has a red text saying "This build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's permission..." I think it come from supersu? is it expected?
The red text at boot is normal, I believe it's because of the unlocked boot loader.
Hey there,
There seems to be 2 hardware variants. U-1u (Dual Sim) and U-1h (single sim). not sure on interoperability of FW at present.
@mobilevil which sofware number are you running. Can be found in settings > about > sotware information, or from download mode. Asking as there can be found an official RUU for x.xx.617.x devices. If you're on US unlocked that'd be a possibility to return to full stock and receive OTA.

Hi I am using 1.09.708.12. I did some OTA until it reported no update before rooting.
it is an unlocked dual sim ver and I bought it here in HK.
it is not very comfortable for me to have no official firmware image ready in hand.

yes looking back I flashed an recovery without checking for hardware variants, I wasn't careful enough!
Had my A2017G for a few months, but still stuck on v1.0.0b06 with no available OTA updates.
Will I manually have to flash it to a android 7 version then will I be able to receive OTA?
Any guidance is much appreciated.
It really depends on where your device is from. That build may very well be the most up-to-date build released. Check the ZTE support site to be sure.
If you want to go to nougat right away, I'd suggest manually installing the German update zip / installing the leaked 7.1.1 B01 zip floating around. Afterwards, you'll receive the OTA prompt for the 7.1.1 B02 build.

Yes, you need to download nougat image from ztedevices then push it to SD card and update to nougat will be available via system updater.

I'm in the UK, and had no update since getting the handset.
So I won't need a build 10 to do the update to nougat?
Many thanks

I forgot if it's required. But no harm in doing the updates incrementally. The German support page has the B10 update, as well as the 7.0 update. Then the 7.1.1 B01 leak can be found around here. These of course are all for the A2017G variant.
If you intend to unlock your bootloader, I'd suggest doing so before upgrading to nougat.

Thanks. I'll give that a try when I'm home. Is this becoming stuck on certain software versions common on the A7?
Also in hoping in the future OTA works normally. Apart from this, the phone is solid all-around.
Many thanks
I have one german version... live in argentina, and otas comes really fast... the same day that someone post some info here...
I manually update to 7.0, then manualy to 7.11 b1, then ota notifies me that b02 is relased, so manual update dont break otas...

There is a full 7.1.1 B02 somewhere that you can also use. Just use the MiFlash flasher thing, it shouldn't go bad if you're using the stock flasher

This is the full ota for V1.2.0B01: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767151720
I'd suggest you manually update to V1.0.0B10 and then to V1.2.0B01.
You can find t he V1.0.0B10 on the ztemobile.de page: http://www.ztemobile.de/support/downloads/?product_id=2100 (Software Update B10)
I'd skip going to Nougat 7.0 first. Just upgrade directly to 7.1.1 with the full ota I posted.
Copy both of the files onto your sd card. They will then appear in the Updater (Settings -> Updates). Just run the upgrade from there.
Be aware! As previously stated by @oleung4 unlock your bootloader before upgrading. I unlocked mine on B06.

Thanks for your help, I'll update the thread in the next day or two about my progress.
Is the bootloader difficult to unlock past B06 in that case?

It gets more complicated starting with (afaik) V1.0.0B11. If you want the easy way I'd suggest you do it before you upgrade past B10, I would even say do it before upgrading from B06.
Bootloader unlock

I unlocked mine without too much problem from B08 using the windows 1.1.1 toolkit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
I did get into a lot of trouble when I relocked it, so just avoid that.
Good luck
I've put the German image file on a USB and connected via an OTG cable, no joy......
I have V.1.0.0B11
If I were you I'll stuck with the latest marshmallow update. Nothing against nougat but MiFavor's version is sucks.

First: Check that you didn't put the zip with the buncha numbers. If you open the zip you should find an update.zip and a pdf or something, and you have to use the update.zip inside. NOT directly the one with the numbers!
Second: Your phone probably won't find the file on the OTG, if so just copy the file from the OTG to the root of the internal storage
Ah....
I unzipped it.....
Okay so still no joy, neither of the files would update
"System Update Failed"
Attached screenshots if anyone can help ??

You almost brick the phone. Tell me a couple of things:
-What's the model? Turn it around and look below the Dolby Atmos symbol, it should be etched there. Either A2017 or G or U.
-I see that your software is of the A2017G. You probably have an A2017.
-What's the version that you downloaded? If it is for another version you can lose the IMEIs.
I have a similar issue. I have an A2017G. I had LOS on and am trying to go back to stock. I can get MM B10 or B11 to load, but N B01 won't flash within Android and if I force it from within recovery, the phone won't boot. anyone any smart ideas?
Hello
I write because following an update yesterday htc u ultra my companion he does not want to start it is blocked on htc and becomes very hot!
I tried several things seen on xda but there I am completely blocked.
I have access to different things, booloader, recoverry, etc ... but nothing changes I did a factory reset but the problem does not evolve
I tried to flash it with a ROM ruu but he told me that it is not the good CID. taken here https://forum.xda-developers.com/u-...stock-htc-ultra-dual-sim-1-64-400-10-t3758077
after i have an idea but i do not know if this is possible i have access to someone who has the same phone bought at the same place at the same time is it possible to extract the RUU rom to reinject it into that of my wife ???
I am hopeless we leave in 8 days and my wife finds herself without phone can you m help me to find the good RUU or extract that of my friend to reinject it?
the model is this one https://www.eglobalcentral.fr/htc-u-ultra-64go-4g-dual-sim-desimlocke-blanc-fr.html
apparently it's a Taiwanese model double sim
thanks for all the help !!
PS it was all original not rooted nor bootloaded unlocked just the update ota do
It would be better if you post the threads links properly, yours got truncated.
If you have, as you claim, the Taiwanese Dual SIM model you should be able to follow the downgrade procedure from Oreo to Nougat. I did it multiple times.
You cannot extract RUU. It is specially prepared package that performs several upgrade operations separately. You can only make dump of already installed system but for that you do need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP) on both devices.

sorry i corrected the links.
on the other hand I can do this procedure despite that I have access only to bootloader and recovery?
I'm not an expert I thought I can just flash with a RUU but I can not find one

It seems to me you have got yourself a wrong RUU. The ones from the post are for India, not Taiwan.
Surely I can not get my hands on a Taiwanese RUU!
do you know where can I find a link?

We don't have RUU 8.0. Try boot to download mode and flash TWRP recovery. Downgrade to Nougat (7.0).
I have been on the hunt and sure many others have as well been trying to find the firmware flash files for AT&T's latest update to the SM-G950U S8 Variant if you know where i could get these files or have it on hand it would be greatly appreciated so i can get my phone flashed back to its original state before it had gone through this crashed update that has made my phone bootloop and not accept anything but the latest updated firmware file.
The firmware file version i am looking for is:
SM-G950USQS7DTB1
