2017g & amazon de - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi, I bought last week on the De Amazon and now got it the lineog but I diddnt check with version got it (MM or N) can you help what should i use for 2017g version. Thank you very much

You can see version in settings/about phone/build number. How match is cost for phone? Is it new?

The lineog is a defoult with U versions so it's a G. Hence that I can't check it on the lineog. Yes it's a new the cost is now about 300E i bought by 250E.

Perhaps, someone got it from Amazon De?

I also have an axon7 from Amazon Germany. It is a A2017G with default on MM. I updated it to Nougat by downloading the zip file from ZTE-Germany and manual upgrade. Now I´m on the latest Nougat-Version from ZTE. I haven't any experience with the Axon7 and LineageOS right now.

Thank you very much!

Which firmware to use on YotaPhone2? Upgrade to Lollipop? Or keep KitKat?

Phone came with HK1.0.3.61a firmware. Looks like Russian and European firmwares are the most recent updates, if moving to Lollipop. I'll be operating in English language. The phone is a YD206. I understand regardless of which version of firmware I flash, I'll want to retain the HK or CN "RADIO" folder settings, to function properly with the hardware. It seemed that some thought that the RU version was more stable than the EU version. I guess I don't really know what the real differences are between them...any insight would be helpful. Also, I assume that I'll want to upgrade to Lollipop, but some have suggested that function is better keeping it at KitKat.
What are your opinions here?
Thanks!

The RU and EU firmware don't differ that much but since YotaPhone being Russian the RU gets the a new firmware first (if EU gets it at all). Firmware version RU 124 (Lollipop) is running smooth and has good battery life and version 134 looks promising as well (only had that for half a day now). When I got my Chinese YotaPhone I updated it to the latest RU firmware right away and haven't regret it.
Just ordered an international version from EU warehouse, cost £20 more but it will come quicker.
Any idea what firmware the YD201 will have on? EU or RU?

I ordered mine from an EU warehouse as well (TinyDeal) but to be honest I didn't bother to check the firmware (it was stuck on KitKat as the update option was removed from Android on my phone). I just flashed it right away to the latest Russian firmware without problems.

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.

Chinese version update

Hi there,
Looking for a bit of help - I have recently purchased the axon 7 from banggood, chinese model with multi language rom that has no ota and is stuck on 6.0.1 using mifavour4.
I have looked at the different ROMs available and have read a lot of the threads but am still unsure on what my options are, i just want to update to nougat and get ota update and usual playstore etc.
They sell an australian version here and zte australia has the firmware updates to nougat but it says u must have the aus version which is A2017G i think? Mine is _A2017V2.1.1B07, is there any way to install the aus firmware on my device.
I have flashed roms to phones before but am abit stuck as to all the different options and models with the axon 7, if someone could just give me a simple summary of my options and point me in the right direction id be very greatful.
Regards
Tubbs
You could just directly update to B16 nougat using miflash via EDL mode.
Try translating this post,

You don't have to translate anything, go to the 4th category brick repair guide and do the process from where you have EDL (not the disassembly process ofc). There are links for everything there, if you need another zip click on the "MiFlash and Drivers" link which will take you to 4pda, then open each spoiler until you find the zips you want (like A2017_B15_FULL_EDL

My suggestion is unlock bootloader with Axon7Tool and install A2017U firmware. You will like your phone than Chinese ROM

Upgrade android on a chinese phone

Hey guys, first time posting so I hope I'm in the right sub.
Here is the thing:
- I bought a phone from a reseller which was sold to me as an SM-G930F with Android Oreo
- When it came home, I noticed it was running Marshmallow, and with further research it appears that the phone is actually the chinese SM-G9300 & it doesn't allow OTA updates
- I got a refund but I could keep the phone
The actual firmware is G9300ZCU2APG2
So the question is: am I able to upgrade that SM-G9300 to Oreo? If so, do I have to install a custom ROM running Oreo, flash a european firmware (or custom?) to allow the update?

I have zte axon 7 A2017G E-labeling Malaysisa / Australia/New Zeeland upgraded to latest auto download A2017GV.1.2.0B12
unfortunately the producer doesn't care about owners , to upgrade to 8.0 / 8.1 etc
I'm looking to download latest stable android upgrade via sdcard
I already search forum, but I coudn't find out if it s a specific download for this region.
Any help would be much, much appreciated.
Thank you in advance !
Now, A2017GV.1.2.0B12 is latest update (official) for A2017G. We expect an oreo.
I think, there is no metter of region dependence.

thank you so much !
which version should I pick up ? I live in Romania, so any european version should work ?
If you have A2017G (see model on back of phone), A2017GV.1.2.0B10 or A2017GV.1.2.0B12 will be fine.

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.
