Hello,
I want to retrive stock rom without any mod but I have a problem. I made backup before i flash sokkoban's rom but when i want to retrive this it's still this chinese model ALE-UL00. The next problem is when i want to flash system.img from stock package in cmd i see info that this file is unreachable (it has more than 2 GB), but when i change name of other file to system.img it's flashing. I don't know what file i can flash that will work properly?
This procedure means converting location of the phone. First flash the correct location zip via twrp. unicomelectric/cn for chineese fw, like 564 mod, and hw/eu for european fw like 575 mod. Secondly: after that flash b50 package for eu, b230/240 for cn. Lastly you can make all official updates till 575 (eu) or 564 (cn). From those fws you can flash sokkobans custom roms from sokkoban. Good luck.

Sorry about typo. i mean b050 ... for start.
You will lose network and sim but after update to b170 they will return.
Oh, and for mm: update procedure (official updates via ota):
eu: b050, b170, b188, b550/564, b575
cn: b230/240, b558, b564
I don't see b050, only b052 to download.

That is. The basic eu fw.
Ok, great. All works properly, but the last update. I got error "Software Install Failed!" :/ I downloaded this from this site: http://huaweip8lite.blogspot.bg/2016/03/firmwarehuawei-p8-liteale-l21-official.html and i got error :/

All works.

Ok. So that fw b564 from sokkobans blog is for cn firmwares. It is necessary to be on b558, or b564 (official, via ota). Because that fw its a mod from another modded cn firmware kangvip mod.
Now, if you are on eu channel, you cannot performe update to b564 sokkoban mod, because that is for cn.
BUT, from b565 (eu) or b574 (eu) you can flash another mod of sokkoban: b574 mod.

Yes, download the latest version from raystef66's download center (not the twrp flashable zips) (i think it's 1.2.0B10) and install
Hello guys,
Im using an ZTE Axon 7 with unkocked bootloader, rooted, and using a custom ROM and twrp. I **** to try the original and latest version of the official ROM to see how well the performance are. Is there a package for this that can be installed using TWRP and after it has been installed, my phone is in the original state again?
I saw an update on the ZTE website from 25/07/2018. (Version B35) Is this Android 8?
https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7
Can I install this package by using TWRP aswell?
Flash a zip package in twrp. But flash an twrp image after the rom. The stock rom overwrites the twrp with stock recovery.
Thanks! So, no matter wich bootstock Im using, I can just install the zip from te ZTE website using TWRP and that's it?
EDIT: on the website, there is only A2017U model. No G or A. Does this matter?

Flash this instead so you keep TWRP.

That is also an option. But I still prefer the latest version from te website as I hope that this is Android 8 and want to really have it at factory stock again.

The B35 (U-version) is 7.1.1
Try this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3744388
It's totaly stock or at least derived from the B35 that you want.
Or make your day and try this 8.0.0 : https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/official-beta-android-8-0-0-v2-10b12-t3797085
Beta, U version based but definitely worth a try
Or go back to factory with the @djkuz EDL Tool. The B35 is in the OP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3750759

B35 (from that site) is Nougat, not Oreo.
Oreo was not released officially so you won't find it in the ZTE website.
The current release (B12) is a -buggy- beta and missing some features. It's really not worth it. Battery life is atrocious (probably less than 2hs SoT).
You're better off with B10 (latest for A2017G) or B35 (latest for A2017U).
Those are the latest official firmwares for the phone and both are Nougat 7.1.1. Pay no attention to the numbers, as B10 is identical (update wise) to B35. Flash whatever you like. There's really no other option.
If you prefer the original stock experience with nothing touched or removed/added, you will have to flash a firmware via EDL mode. But that way you lose TWRP unless you replace recovery.img with a compatible TWRP version before flashing with Xiaomi Flash and your device is completely erased.
Forget about Oreo for the moment.

Could that be some kind of OTA update (the ones to rename update.zip and flash on top of version 3.5.389)?

The post says this version is QPST compatible.
Even on 4pda ZUI 4.0.186 QPST flashable version exists.
I thought QPST and QFIL were basically same, are they different?
If you have it downloaded, could you please share it on GDrive or any other way?

A QPST rom is for using with QFIL
I never used ZUI and do any OTA updates on it, but I downloaded the rom, open the zip file and inside is the normal structure for a regular rom (META-INF, boot.img, system.img files)
I didn't know that there's a QPST version of ZUI 4.0.186 for use with QFIL (downloading rn to check out)
As for the ZUI 4.0.199, sorry I deleted it after finding out it's not qpst version
Edit: the ZUI 4.0.186 qpst I found is an older version patched up with the newest boot.img and system.img files from the newer ota release
The newest official ZUI QPST version I can find is 3.5.386, and it's from an official lenovo cdn server

Hey thanks. So I guess OTA can be used to upgrade to the latest 4.0.199 after flashing the 3.5.386 QPST version.
I am currently on the ZUI 2.5 (Nougat) Indian version, and as far as I understand, to make Oreo and Pie Custom ROMs work properly on my phone I need to upgrade to the latest ZUI to enable the treble support due to the new bootloader and other partitions. Please correct me if I am wrong.

That's true, although I did face a strange problem that /vendor didnt mount when I first flash the new TWRP (the newest one that support /factory) but now everything's fine.

None of the vendor2factory zip files worked for me, so I ended up flashing ZUI via qfil. Even then, there could still be issues, so definitely ymmv on this one

Sorry what is ymmv?
Also I have read in other parts of the forum that Chinese ZUI OTA updates don't show up, if you do not use a Chinese VPN and/or setting the location to China. Is that true?

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary
No it's not, Im not in China and after flashing 3.5.386 via qfil I still got a notification about 4.0.199 ota update, even though I unlocked the bootloader which is kinda weird

Official zui OTA updates won't be successful on unlocked bl, everything needs to be stock.
