Upgrade Zte Axon 7 Nougat - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi, I just bought from Gearbest a new smartphone: the Zte Axon 7 (A2017G).
I would like to know if from Android 6.0.1 (B11) I can switch to Android 7.1 via SD card without going for Android 7.0.
I would also like to know what procedure I have to follow and whether the firmware on the German site has the Italian language and is compatible with my model.

Yes your G Version is compatible with the german site.
You will need to first update to the latest Marshmallow then you can update to 7.1.1 nougat
You can tell by the size marsh: 2,2gb
Nougat 2,6gb
Just place them on after the other into root and name them "update.zip"

Ok but what's the latest version of marshmallow? B11?
And exactly what procedure should I perform? Do I have to wipe? And do I need the root?
Sorry for the bad english

Last MM is B11. Just update from sd/root phone. Rename file to update.zip.

I'm going to make it a little bit easier
If you will get an A2017G, we have something really useful here which is the DOWNLOAD CENTER. If you downloaded an official zip from ZTE, you would have to unzip them, but the zips on the download center are already unzipped, and they are also uploaded to androidfilehost which is better than ZTE's servers.
If you already have the phone, check the Android version. If it says B11 then just download the official B09 update package from the download center (be cautious, NOT THE FLASHABLE TWRP ZIPS) and install it. If it is anything below B11 you have to download B11 and install it, then download B09 and install it.
Procedure to install official zips:
-Download the zip and rename to update.zip (Not needed, but do it anyways)
-Put it on the root of the internal storage or sd card
-Go to Settings - Updates
-The update should appear. Apply
If you have to install Marshmallow B11 too, install it and after that delete the zip from the storage

DESCRIPTION:
Hey Guyz Welcome Again in my next Tutorial... Today Am gonna show How to Upgrade/Update your HONOR 4C to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
If your Gonna Step in to Marshmallow from Kitkat or Lollipop, didnot Mattar Both process take same time.....
Lets move on it...
PREREQUISITES:
First of All you should have the files needed for that....
1) Indian B330 ROM Lollipop
2) Indian B370 Update OTA zip
3) Indian B510 Marshmallow OTA zip
4) Indian B521 OTA update zip
Links for these files.....
[UPDATED]Indian B330 ROM Lollipop and decryption Key is !ldp5f_t_y7JaPIjCRugiYuS3QOHezIWgQoC2RwCCjrc
Indian B370 Update in form of zip file
Indian B510 ROM Marshmallow update in zip form
B521 from B510 Marshmallow OTA zip update
In Case you have B390 build, flash this zip directly to get B521 ROM Marshmallow
B390 to B521 Marshmallow update direct
PROCEDURE:
Now First thing is if you dont have the indian ROM,,, i have the guide to Flash any ROM on your 4C even of different Regions....
Here is the Link for that Thread!! Guide to Flash Any ROM
You just have to flash the first ROM which is of G-Play Mini's ROM but dont worry....its the solution for everything for 4C...
Now Extract the B330 lollipop ROM, you will have the update.app file of about 2.5GB...
Backup your all data first,,, It may wipe your all data.... dont blame me then...
If you are on currently B390 or any other Build, Flash directly by Putting this update.app in dload folder and then put dload folder in Root of your SD Card...now go to Settings>Updater and then press Menu and then Local Update... you will find the pkg here... just install it...
Now Flash the Vendor pkg present in same folder of B330 if you are converting to indian ROM... flash vendor's update.app in same way as you flash update.app of B330 ROM...
Now you should have B330 installed successfully... and you should have Build number CHM-U01C636B330 otherwise you're gonna get error of 5%
Now Rename the B370 update zip to update.zip and put it in dload folder in root of your sd card..
Now go to updater and then local update... And install update too same as before!!, it will install that update.zip of B370 ROM..
Now you have B370 installed....
Now times to flash the B510 Marshmallow ROM.... rename Marshmallow file to update.zip file and then do the same procedure we do for installing B370 ROM...
Now flash the Patch for B510 by HassanMirza01.zip file attached below using twrp recovery (Link and method for TWRP) and you will have the option of local update in B510... then flash B521 using local update method.
Then do same for B521 update like we do with B510.... after successfully flashing... Phone will booted again and BOOM!!
Latest Marshmallow now installed
Also Here is the Link for Full Marshmallow Rom in case above MM file stuck or whatever, Link for Full Marshmallow ROM B510
Flash it on B370 or G Play mini ROM, it will install whole Marshmallow ROM.
For any question, ask below.....
In Case you dont like this Rom, and you wanna downgrade to Lollipop again, here is the Link for Lollipop Rom
Download it, unzip it, put dload folder in root of sdcard. Now MM dont have local update option so dial code *#*#2846579#*#* in MM Rom, you will see software upgrade option there... Press it and your done
Hit Thanks and Support me if you Like and get help from this thread...Thank you...

[OTA] [a5_dug] Android 6.0.0, HTC Sense 6.0 update is now available (dual SIM)

Owners of the factory-unlocked, dual SIM Snapdragon variant labelled as 'a5_dug' in the bootloader mode, will be pleased to know that the update is now available from your stock Lollipop ROM.
Before you begin
Preparation
If you are not using the official update tool, and wish to use OTA files uploaded here, reboot your phone in to its bootloader, and ensure that a5_dug is displayed. This update may not apply to other models, regardless of whether they are dual SIM or not. It most certainly will not apply to the 816G model which uses a MediaTek chipset.
You must ensure that you have 2GB free on the internal eMMC storage before continuing if you wish to update using the stock update tool. The update tool does not download to the microSD card.
The update does not update, unfortunately, the HTC Sense user interface. It uses the same Sense version as Lollipop did, with some minor changes.
Update contents, simplified
Android 6.0.0
HTC Sense 6.0
Additional Google features
Installation
For phones running a stock ROM earlier than Lollipop 5.0.2
Please update your phone to 5.0.2 and proceed to follow the instructions below if you wish to update through the official update tool.
For phones running stock Lollipop 5.0.2
The update is in two parts for phones running stock Lollipop 5.0.2. The first part is less than 60MB (typically), and prepares the phone for the installation of the second, main part, which is around 1.1GB.
Open the 'Settings' app.
Scroll down and select 'About'.
Tap 'System update'
Agree to download the update by pressing 'OK'.
Once downloaded, 'System update downloaded' appears in the notification tray.
Tap this, and tap 'Install'.
Then repeat for the second part.
For phones running custom software
(investigating)
I just got HTC Mail update only!!!
The update could be available around 01 - 02 week, hope so
@gwhite5 seriously!??? No Sense 7 ?!!!
Its great news but plz provide me with the marshmallow ROM for dual sim models with root capabilities! ? thanks in advance
Any news about the a5_dwg models ?
I have A5 Dug (816w).
After OTA update I have Android 6 with Sense 7, not Sense 6...
For devices on custom recovery
I am running official ROM but on custom recovery TWRP and rooted. My question is will this update will be installable on this setup?( Haven't tried yet)
Also I tried rolling back to stock recovery but I have removed few system app in past without backup is there any way to get the apks for them . I got error for HTC Car app . Also will need help on how to install it as a system app, cuz its not avaialble on "/system/priv-app/Automotive_Home/Automotive_Home.apk" .
Any help is appriciated.
TIA
I finally managed to reinstall the automotive_home.apk as system app, i moved back to stock recovery and then tried the OTA update once again still getting the same error " unexpected content" on that path.
could someone please make a twrp backup of the android 6 on the a5_dug ?
@mshtob its already done bro check updates we are still waiting for a5_dwg

No sorry I meant a twrp backup because I have twrp and cyanogen mod I was hoping someone could have a twrp backup of stock marshmallow rom so I can restore it
I have A5_DUG (CID: HTC__622 / Asia_HK) and I didn't get the update yet...
Is it because it's rooted with many changes? I didn't have this problem with the previous update so is it just not released yet for my CID?
EDIT: I noticed that version-main is blank in the bootloader

Extract recovery from the OTA file.
It happened to me and I extracted the recovery image from the downloaded OTA update.
copied the OTA zip file to computer. unzipped and extracted the firmware.zip file from it. Flashed recovery again to this new recovery (basically both are stock). This worked for me and i can go till the recovery screen.

[GUIDE][ROOT][UNIVERSAL] FORCE INSTALLING STOCK OTA UPDATES WITH SToCK RECOVERY

Since lollipop there is no manual update option in huawei updater and even the huawei stock recovery has no or less interface which has no adb sideload option. This became a crunch to flash the update which your friend got and which u dont.
This Method is Universal for all huawei devices
In order to apply ota update using this method , root access is a major requirement so be sure your device is rooted.
If u had twrp recovery , at first flash SuperSu package to root your device (Try systemless root only) .
After successfull root ,flash stock recovery from twrp and reboot system.
Step 1:
In my case b370 is the last ota i found for kiw-l22 which vsriram92 posted here . Thanks to him for posting the update before 99% users got their update :good:
Download the relevant update package (ota) which you need a relevant base package to install it on . Ex: b360 as base for b370 update
step 2:
just remember the path where u downloaded the package . Install Flashify from playstore or From Here
Select Zip file which is the third option in flashify .
step 3 :
Navigate to the path where u downloaded ota package select the update.zip (ota package).
flashify starts downloading the package to its path asks you for root access .
Grand Su permissions , Select Cwm recovery if flashify asks as the next option.
Now the phone reboots to recovery and starts flashing.
After the ota update , your device will be unrooted . so take a backup of your stock recovery by following below guide.
Enable Usb debugging and connect ur phone to pc.
navigate to adb folder and place twrp.img or recovery.img in adb folder ,open command window from the same folder and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now type
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
or what_ever_its_name.img
now it temporarily boots twrp , take a backup of your stock recovery and then flash twrp for permanent install and then reroot ur device.
Happy flashing :laugh::good:​
it gets zip signature verification failed....the method is similar to installing the zip file directly from the recovery but that doesn't work unless zip signature is verified

This only for rooted phone ?
I'm having honor 4x unroot and I don't know how to install the ota file. Is there any way for upgrading a phone without root option and in my phone there is no local update option

Nope. It was there in EMUI 3 previously. Now, we can't unless it has only update.app.
so b370 is only for the ones who gave root access to their phones?

Hello together, I tried flashing the B360 update for my L21 with this method but unfortunately I did not succeed. I followed every step but when flashify reboots to the stock recovery nothing happens. Just nothing.
I used the file for the L21 that I linked to in this post.
Any suggestions how to get it to work?

Are you on B350D0003 or some earlier firmware? I'm on stock B350, just rooted with Magisk+phh's superuser, and it doesn't want to flash that big file at all; tried flashing OTA update (200MB file) and it failed at 80%, causing a damn bootloop. Gah, I thought my old phone was pain in the ass...

I'm on B350D003. After I tried the OTA instead of the full package I came across the same problem with the stock recovery, but when flashing it from TWRP it did flash it, but exited with an error.
No bootloop but as a file was missing for the full update process wifi (and probably bluetooth) are not working.
If you are interrested to solve it, have a look here. It looks like there is a way to fix the problem and we are currently investigating.

TBH, I'm on a verge to start building LOS or PAC/Slim/whatever is properly maintained and fast for my own needs and ditch EMUI completely....
I'm searching for other firmwares now via FirmwareFinder, there is a probability that one is a leaked test or something like that, because it simply doesn't want to flash. If I find out something, I'll continue on thread you've linked, to avoid flooding this one.
Hi. Thanks for your guide.
I need to update my phone with several ota updates. I just need to repeat this guide's procedure until updated to the last ota or there is a better way to do that?

Just because you can't do it, that doesn't mean it's fake.

[Guide] Rebrand to Chinese FW and take the Oreo update

With the Oreo update out, several Honor 8 users have become impatient and want to install the update in advance of their regional releases. This guide will help you accomplish this. I won't be held responsible for any damage to your device including but not limited to bricks, explosions, etc.
Before you upgrade, ensure that
Your bootloader is unlocked. Rebranding involves flashing modified recovery images which isn't possible with a locked bootloader.
You're on a dual SIM device. Chinese FW don't support single SIM devices and you'll lose your IMEI, hence no cellular connection. It is possible however to upgrade to Oreo with SIM working but there are some trade-off(s), read the last section.
Oreo FW doesn't include GApps. However, they can be downloaded from the Huawei AppMarket (comes pre-installed).
The FW is still in beta. Bugs are to be expected. Just know this isn't the place for that.
Step I - Rebrand to Chinese FW
Let us get started. Our first job is to rebrand to Chinese FW. Piece of cake. Just follow the steps below, precisely:
Backup any important data, especially those precious cat photos.
Download this file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1eQHOfsCidKhE6AxXZKHkwwjfqYEEjCR6. Extract the archive and place the .img inside in your SD card or Internal Phone storage.
Download the two No-Check recoveries and place them in the root of your Internal Phone storage:
Code:
Recovery 1: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SPRmBNsTefSWZLSWxpWGd6QkE
Recovery 2: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4SPRmBNsTefSVhxMWFoa01wams
Download Chinese B396 Nougat FW and copy them to /data/update/HWOTA/ folder (create folders if they don't exist):
Code:
Main Update File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v143478/f1/full/update.zip
Customization File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v143481/f1/full/FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip
Reboot your device to TWRP. Navigate to Install > Install Image > Select the .img file > Check OEMINFO as the partition to flash the .img to. Start the install process and wait for it to finish. Don't reboot the device after installation.
We'll now install the modified recoveries. Using either TWRP's terminal or ADB Shell (as root 'su'), execute the following:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/FRD_RECOVERY_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery_a
dd if=/sdcard/FRD_RECOVERY2_NoCheck.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery2_a
Let's prepare the installation of the FW. In the same TWRP terminal or ADB Shell, execute the following:
Code:
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
Reboot your device to recovery from TWRP. This time, the device will reboot to NoCheck recovery and start the installation process.
Step II - Flash the Oreo update
The steps to flash to Oreo are same as rebranding. You'll follow the exact same steps as above, keeping the following things in mind:
Your bootloader might relock after the update. Unlock it and flash TWRP again.
There is no need to reflash the OEMINFO file as we've already done that, so skip it.
Instead of installing B396 FW, we'll flash the Oreo firmware. At the time of writing of this guide the latest available firmware was B511:
Code:
Main Update File: http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/update.zip
Customization File (Public): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/public/update_data_full_public.zip
Customization File (OEM): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G3109/g1699/v142251/f1/full/FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip
You'll copy the above files to /data/update/HWOTA. Also, modify the commands executed in Step 7 to:
Code:
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_data_full_public.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=/data/update/HWOTA/update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip" >> /cache/recovery/command
Reboot your device and tada, you're on Oreo, yum, yum!
The alternate way for Single SIM users
It is the same as the above mentioned steps. Follow only Step 2, don't flash the OEMINFO file. However there are some trade-offs like:
The customization file won't flash due to region mismatch so you'll be left with a borked installation i.e. only some system apps, no keyboard, no app store, broken build number, non-working themes, etc. etc.
Remember, we did it all for that pesky SIM so don't complain.
If you face any errors, don't hesitate to slap me in the comments below. I'm waiting...
For models of phones FRD-L09 & L19 - this will be the bricks when upgrading to Oreo. You need to go to the FRD-DL00C00.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll make it clear in the guide.
EDIT: The guide is updated with DL00 firmware links.
I made it easier to upgrade to Oreo on FRD-L19. Being on 7 Android, changed the location of the phone on FRD-dl00, updated to FRD-dl00c00b396 and via Hwota8 installed FRD-dl00c00b511 (8.0.0.511). Through Magisk v 16.4 got Ruth right.
hi, I'm still XD, in the end I managed to install it on frd-l09 following your guide now I wonder if you can install the g-app and how to flash zip files on recovery .. thanks for your work: ) ps:call and network work...

Great. You can get GApps Huawei AppMarket. Since we don't have TWRP, you can't flash zip files.
App market is not installed on this firmware..

Can you verify the firmware installed correctly, like is the build number correct. Regardless, you cam grab the market from http://a.vmall.com/uowap/index.html
in fact, to install Oreo I had to install it via redlotus, even the Chinese firmware installed with redlotus .. because following your guide, got to the point of restarting from recovery after having put all the codes the phone did not start the installation ..
Can someone post some video about the update and features?
To install Oreo from the Chinese Firmware, I recommend using HuRUpdater, since it is much simpler and faster.
Here's how to do it:
Just create a folder in the sdcard with these 4 files:
HuRUpdater_0.3.zip (https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279)
update.zip
update_data_full_public.zip (rename it to: update_all_hw.zip)
update_full_FRD-DL00_dualcu_cn.zip (rename it to: update_data_public.zip)
IN TWRP:
You only need to flash the HuRUpdater file, the other 3 files will be installed automatically.
Restart Your Device.
You're on oreo.
Before installing Oreo remember that there are no Custom Recovery for this Firmware so you will not be able to flash anything.
(Tested on Honor 8 FRD-L09 with Chinese firmware.)
(Sorry for any grammatical errors.)

Do you need to rebrand device?

You have to rebrand. Regardless, there is TWRP for Oreo so it is now a lot safer to upgrade to Oreo now.
Twrp now can mount partition, or flash zip?

It's in the 4PDA forums (Google).
Is it possible to access recovery in Oreo, if yes can I flash Magisk and install V4a ?

Yes, you can.
I'm trying to see if you can get root permissions.
You're installing firmware for DL00 but the oeminfofile you provided with the first link is for AL10. Won't that cause any problem?
