B02 firmware

I see the firmware OTA has been released for A2017G, I'm in the UK and not ever received it, am I going to have to get it from ZTE DE again?

May I ask you whether this australian version work without any issue on any A2017G? if that's the case, can I flash it from marshmallow B08 or do I need to go another route? (like M B10 then N B01 then B02 then B04?).
I am in a similar situation where I'm still stuck on Marshmallow B08 updated through OTA last december and I have been waiting for another OTA since then to no avail (didn't receive B10 or B11)...
Also this australian version seems odd to me, as I understood it the A2017G ROM is developped by ZTE germany, why is this firstly available full image particularly dedicated to australia? that's why I wonder whether there is something special about it. Otherwise I'm not sure whether ZTE germany stated they would be releasing the full image for B04 or if it's only through OTA (which I may never get)
Thank you!

That link isn't the full package Aus update. It's the German FOTA update to B04.
To my knowledge, Aus version works without issue. The only question mark recently was whether it would work with the A2017G sold in Japan, and it apparently worked perfectly fine.
Official instructions on Aus support page are to upgrade to MM B10 as the bare minimum, so I'd recommend that.
You are struck on B08 because your country's development team has not released anything newer, much like most other country specific A2017G dev teams. That also is why Aus released the full update file, as they're jumping straight from B10. Mind you, the G more likely stands for Global than Germany ?.
And you'll want to refer to this thread instead. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547

I downloaded the update but the phone didn't see it.
Guess I'll have to wait for the official OTA.

You can force it via recovery. If you decide to wait, lemme know when you one day receive the OTA!

I don't know why I called this post B02, when it's B04 I want. Has anyone one else successfully downloaded and upgraded by putting on the SD card, and if so do you have the link? This is for the UK model by the way, I guess the European is the same all round?

Yes.
...force the update via recovery. Might need to enable oem unlocking too in developer settings.

Thanks for the confirmation, is the only link we have at the beginning of this thread?
Mike

You can always use the full B04 zip (2GB+) if you aren't able to get the fota update file to work.
That file can be found in the other link I posted in this thread.

It will probably arrive he has teased about running it currently, but i'm guessing he's hard at work to remove bugs before adding any Viper features...but the Oreo that has been rolling out is Stock

Does anyone know if it has project treble support?

https://twitter.com/moversi/status/934506335621861376?s=09
It does NOT have treble since only phones shipped with Oreo must have support for it. This has been known for a long, long time.

Doesn't mean it won't support it. It is a requirement to ship treble with Oreo but can still get it with prior phones. The list of phones already supported have a few from nougat

Although I can't confirm the U11, the rest of your statement is misleading.

HTC U11 units in US to get Oreo update starting today
HTC has confirmed that the HTC U11 Oreo update will start rolling out in the US starting today. The Taiwanese company's VP of Product Management Mo Versi took to Twitter to announce this.
Unlocked units will get it first, followed by carrier models. For what it's worth, while replying to a user comment, Versi said they're working with Sprint to roll out the update soon.
The update started rolling out a couple of weeks back, with the company's home country of Taiwan becoming the first market to get it.
As for other HTC phones like the 10, U Ultra, and U11 Life, Versi didn't provide any specific timeline, but did say the roll out will begin soon.

new firmware Versions in "Firmwarefinder for Huawei"

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:

So should I update to Oreo thru FirmwareFinder or should I wait a day or two?
The normal Huawei Update says in the moment there is no Update.

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

the answer you got is the only correct answer.
there is no oreo update for the Global version of the Axon 7. At this moment only the USA model has it.

We're waiting for the official release. Keep checking back on the forum every week or two. Once released, some impatient people will install and see how it runs. Wait for feedback.

B04 oreo update!?

I'm currently running on lineage os 15.1,the room is great but it's draining battery as hell,and sound is not that great! If you install last update is the room support gacm? Natively ? thanks ,and sorry for my bad English

no

Maybe? It have stock cam,that is very good.But you should try it

someone on a different forum tried the gcam port and tried to use it on b04. they reported back it did not work. so it's not enabled to work natively. flashing @raystef66's .zip could work but I don't know if the system partition is writeable. I asked in the main B04 thread we have now and nobody answered so far.

I'm so confused about the bootsector updates, b04, b11, if BO4 is the newest why are there later numbers released before b11, b20? Are those just for different countries?
Is the B04 only been released for the 2017g and not the 2017u model yet? only for germany and not for the US yet?

They are from different countries and use other version numbers. Oreo B04 is the latest for the A2017G which is the European version of the phone.
A2017U is the US version and Oreo B20 is the latest for that one. That doesn't mean the US version is the newest just because it has a higher number. As i said, they europe and US use different numbers naming them.
