Hi all. I'm currently using tron9's A2017G B09 (running Marshmallow) that I found here.
I really want Nougat but nothing seems to work. My findings
Using A2017G B09 Bootstack & A2017U B32 (Nougat) Stocksystem (Phone didn't boot)
Following this tutorial by thedroidguru (Method 1 didn't work, update wasn't recognized; Method 2 didn't work because it couldn't install zip file from TWRP)
I found these files on the ZTE website (Couldn't install zip file)
These files from this XDA thread (Tried installing B10 Marshmallow to move from B10 to B04 Nougat, couldn't install zip file via TWRP)
I found nothing. I just want Nougat. I'd really prefer the stock version but if there's no choice I'll take any popular ROMs. Anyone know how I can update?

I have 3 ways for you:
-Put your device on EDL, use MiFlash to install B06 (latest G system). You can find the package made by Turkdevs on the Guides section (latest stocksystems i think)
-Download MiFavor 5.0 from the ROMs, Kernels thread and flash it via TWRP. The one there is v2.0.0B06 but there were problems with v2.0.0B08 and Google stuff it may seem
-Get a stock recovery zip from raystef66's Download Center (you can use B09 or B10 recovery zip) then flash it via TWRP, then reboot and use the Settings-Updates option to flash the official zip.
You'll only retain TWRP on the 2nd one (MiFavor 5.0). And I believe it is FAR better than stock G firmware
DEAR ZTE CUSTOMER,
Pls inform us the exact version of your phone and your IMEI. According to your case, you are suggested to upgrade through SD card

Hi guys, after spending ages trying to get the right files to Downgrade, then waiting 12 hours to download the correct firmware from Chinese forums that D/L at 20kbps - I ahve decided top share my Dropbox folder with you so you can access all you need
This is all you need to Downgrade the 858HK to 10d, then root it and install TWRP (I used Flashify off the PLAY STORE to install TWRP)
I hope this helps (if it does say thanks)

I found this tonight and it has allowed me upgrade to Lollipop with no problems

2. Root it with Stump-v1.2.0 and install SuperSu.apk
3. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 using this apk (there are few words in Chinese when you open apk but very intuitive) D858_TWRP_2.8.1.0
4. Download and install the zip recovery format of the Lollipop rom via TWRP d858hk-v20d_ok.zip MD5: b6fe9ac019a49aab5fbff74787e4806a (Thanks to bbs.gfan forum)
5. Flash via recovery UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
Once TWRP 2.8.1.0 is installed you can also upgrade it to twrp-2.8.5.1_d858-bumped
Recently picked up a P8 from someone who had one lying around.
I'm trying to root it but after installing TWRP i keep entering a bootloop which apparentely is counteracted by holding some combination of buttons.
currently im on B222 and i also tried installing marshmallow (stock) from SD which also makes me enter a bootloop and when my phone finally turns on its like it forgot it had a command to update.....
I'm a little lost on what to do now, i tried googling and all that but i cant find similar issues.
You cannot install Marshmallow with a B222 build, so you'll first need to downgrade to a B200 build.
If you are on a C432 (European) build, you can download European B200 directly from Huawei via this link & install it: http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=68483&version=238533
Once B200 is present, if you check via Settings > Update you'll most likely be offered a Marshmallow OTA update. If not immediately or within a few days, then update manually as you tried before, again using a C432 build only.
With Marshmallow installed, you can follow one of these guides to install TWRP & root:
[Guide][Huawei P8] TWRP + Root Systemless Marshmallow Installation (GRA-L09&GRA-UL00)
Rooting and Unroot Huawei P8 [6.0] [FOR All EMUI4.0.1] all [GRA-Types]
Hi everyone, I've got phone that was purchased in Sweden in big chain but it has code A2017U not A2017G (at least it says so in About phone menu of installed LineageOS) Now, the phone has LineageOS and TWRP. I want to install stock rom but do not want to remove TWRP, how should I do it? Is there any latest stock zip that can be installed via TWRP? I couldnt find the download link. All I find suggests to flash stock recovery first and then stock rom, but I dont want stock recovery
Check on the bottom of back panel. LineageOS always shows A2017U. To install stock rom and keep TWRP you have to download right bootstack and one of the stocksystem zips, and flash Magisk afterwards.
I thought so about phone model, i there any other way to get model except the back panel? I have it debrand leather covered, anted to keep that too.
Hi, I have an Axon 7 2017G with an unlocked bootloader, twrp, and root. Now I have the stack rom V1.0.0B09 and I have some OTA updates to do.
How I have to proceed if I want to update? There is some issue if I will update with TWRP or with an unlocked bootloader?
What is the procedure to have the last rom and, at the same time, maintain an unlocked bootloader, TWRP?
Thanks ,
youngz
Find a firmware thread, download what you need and flash in twrp. You don't get ota now.
Ok, so, if I will able to find the updates (also from the zte website?), can I flash them with TWRP? Have I to perform all the steps or I can install directly the last update for my device?

Use raystef66's thread. Download a stock recovery from there (for example some Nougat stock recovery) and the latest stock ROM. Then flash the stock recovery through TWRP and reboot to system. After that go to Settings - Updates, and it should find the update, just le tit update
So, due to my Pixel's battery life being atrocious I wanted to try LineageOS 14.1 and use my P9 Lite as a daily driver.
I started by downgrading to Marshmallow from Nougat as DC-Unlocker wouldn't work on 7.0 and I needed the bootloader unlock code.
( I used the firmware and tutorial from 4mobiles dot net, looks to be a polish one. )
Once on 6.0 MM I was able to get the code and unlock the bootloader, however, LineageOS and it's TWRP does not seem to work on 6.0 so I needed to upgrade to Nougat again.
Unfortunately, when I try the official update it says there are no updates available and any time I try to use the firmware finder app either the download fails or upon attempting install the phone reports a 'compatibility issue' and won't accept any firmware.
I tried loads of different update.zip files via the recovery update as well as through ADB. Nothing seems to work.
Finally I was able to get TWRP 3.0.2.0 on it, but again, only the version from 4mobiles dot net works. Other versions of TWRP just remove recovery altogether. (I guess they don't work with 6.0)
At this point it's a bit easier to try roms, but still none of 'em seem to work.
-I tried sideloading and manually installing lineageos 14.1 from the sdcard, it fails with ERROR CODE 7
(currently I'm stuck on the 'YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED/BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED' screen, no splash but I can get into recovery and fastboot)
-Tried flashing boot.img and system.img of various OEM firmwares as well as LineageOS's manually through ADB, same result, bootloops
It seems to me that some other file makes the phone believe that it's incompatible with any of my roms. Maybe the firmware i got for 6.0 is region locked, or perhaps it's the vendor.img that I don't know how to flash?
I know it's a grave mistake but I didn't take a note on what my original version number was. It was the latest 7.0 Nougat EMUI 5.0 update on a UK based unlocked VNS-L21. The 6.0 MM I flashed on it with a rollback update was C900B300.
I tried the proxy method, custom DNS, and manual download on various roms in the Firmware finder app. Even when the download doesn't fail, the system always says the firmware is incompatible when I try to install.
Right now I could put 6.0 MM back on it and make it usable, but I doubt it would be much better than the 7.0 that was on it originally.
Can anyone tell me how I could put the original Nougat firmware back on it? eRecovery doesn't detect any possible updates.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

use full update.zip from firmware finder. to upgrade, you can't use latest package. you must use first nougat update.zip.

I've only used Full-OTAs, no bugfixes. None of them seem to work.
Yesterday I tried manually selecting a different model in Firmware Finder;
VNS-L21C185 instead of the default VNS-L21C432-
and downloaded VNS-L21C185B397 update. It verified fine but I couldn't install it due to my recovery being TWRP and not the stock one. What I think I'll try is flashing the recovery of the original Marshmallow firmware that's currently on the system and seeing if it will install this update. I kinda doubt it will tho.
Any other suggestions?
Is there any way I can install a nougat TWRP without my current working firmware being on nougat?
If not, is there any way I can install a nougat firmware with TWRP 3.0.2.0? In order to flash update.zip / update.app files I need to get the stock recovery back, but I can't seem to be able to do that.
Is there any way I can flash a standard OEM Rom onto it with TWRP?

you can't install nougat TWRP in EMUI 4. you can install update.app with original recovery.
extract UPDATE.APP from update.zip
place UPDATE.APP to dload folder in sdcard.
press power button, vol+ and vol-
