Hello, I think I have an issue with my phone. Now I'm not a big champ on electronics, I'm pretty sure there have been updates above android 6.01. How come I can't download them? When I go to the update MIU thing, its tells me I'm not connected to the internet (currently surely connected to a stable Wi-Fi connection) and that it can't find anything on my SD card. Is there a way of updating I don't know about? I hope you guys can help, and thanks in advance!

MIU? You sure you're not on a Xiaomi? :laugh:
Which is your phone model? The one on the back of the phone. It should say "A2017U", "A2017G" or "A2017".
You need to download the update zip (If you have an U or chinese you'll have a problem, since ZTE took the update pages down) and put it in the internal storage, then go to the update screen and update. If you have a G, just download them from Raystef66's Download Center. You need to download the Factory images, NOT the TWRP flashables.
If you have an U or chinese, you'll have to get the zip from somewhere else probably.

Okay so I see a lot of download links there but can't figure out which one I need, do you have any idea? I feel kinda stupid now haha
Hey. You need Marshmallow B10 (last 6.0 update before 7.0) afterwards the first version of 7.1 (Sorry I don't know exactly the version number) and last the 7.1.1 B10 (The very last update for 7.1.1 before Oreo). I have them all for the A2017G that i downloaded from the German ZTE website before it got shut down. I can upload them for you, all you have to do is put them on an sd card, go to the default phone updater and the updates will show there. From there on just press update(install) on each one at a time and after the last one you're done. No need for sketchy flashing through recovery. It's all done through the phone updater. I'll comment later once I have the files uploaded.
Can you tell us which stock ROM version it's currently running?

I'll make it simpler.
First of all check the version number on Settings - About. If it is "A2017GV1.0.0B10" or maybe B11 then you're good to go, just go to the Download Center, find the "Factory Images" section (NOT THE TWRP FLASHABLE SECTION) and download the one called N-B10 (No need to download the other two zips, just the one that says B10). Then put that package on the internal storage directly, and go to Settings - Update, and update
If you are on any version below V1.0.0B10, you'll have to download the latest Marshmallow update first, and install it like i said earlier. Then download the Nougat zip and do the same

I moved the file to the root directory and did a recovery reboot and it updated from there.. thanks!! Now the option to update is in my settings drawer.
I have X820 Chinese ROM since the day I purchased my phone and haven't touched the ROM since. If I update to the newest India ROM, will I lose all apps and data? Or will it just flash like an update and not affect data and apps?
You can make updating manually over stock recovery or custom recovery. It is very easy work.
But will I lose my apps and data or not?

I don't have tons of experience on this device yet...
but when I installed 16S onto 15S and was ready to loose the work I had already done (installed quite a few apps, not yet tons of data or settings), I didn't lose any app nor data (including Google setup and WLAN hotspots). However the 16S variant couldn't handle German, so most things came out in an odd mixture of English and Chinese.
I changed the language to English and had the Chinese parts translate to English as well, which I considered helpful.
16S is loaded with LeTV specific stuff which is all about pushing chinese LeTV content and which turned out difficult to disable, mostly because I couldn't tell which parts were important (can't read Chinese), so I quickly decided I needed to go back to the original "international" version, which still mixes some English into other European languages.
I didn't actually have a 15S ROM image, so I can't tell if a downgrade works as seamlessly, instead I restored my TWRP recovery.
That deactivated my WLAN, which gave me a couple of horrible moments, but a second restore (perhaps including EFF) got it back and I hesitate to repeat the procedure for a more detailled analysis of what happened to the WLAN.
Good Job..!
Thanks for the Advise :good:

OnePlus just released their H2OS 2.5 update for OP3Ts released in Chinese market, available in full flashable zip format.
Just managed to pull the 1.3G zip file from the download page and uploaded to MEGA. Here's the MEGA download link:
https://mega.nz/#!3ggGWTaK!pliXuVOWfWHG-2_M-qoRdsfP2ZKI7V03VOqo1FXuaVI
MD5 checksum: 7649C3FD17BBDC192A921DD913D103C4 OnePlus3THydrogen_28_OTA_027_all_1611222318_09fbb8eecd2b43dc.zip
Here's the original link (Google Translated) in case you want to check the description.
https://translate.google.com/transl...om/thread-3086047-1-1.html&edit-text=&act=url
They also claimed to have updated the touchscreen firmware, so the touch latency problem should be addressed.
Flash instruction:
You don't have to unlock bootloader to flash this rom.
Download the zip and copy it to the root directory of internal storage.
Go to settings, system update, click the gear on the right upper corner, select offline update and select the zip file you just downloaded. the phone will reboot into recovery to flash the zip file. After update is complete reboot into recovery and wipe userdata and cache. Then finish the setup process.
There are some bundled useless Chinese apps but they could be uninstalled. Maybe later I'll make a detailed instruction on how to root/debloat this rom.
ALWAYS BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I just can't handle the download page on the phone probably I need a PC to access that website with translate on . Can you reupload to mega or grdrive or is illegal ? Thanks for you time and for your firmware found
If I have root and twrp can I just flash it without loosing data?

Have it german language?
Just a fair warning, I haven't download the file nor intend to. If this is official OP update for the Chinese market, it may as well have the firmware update to the modem/radio on top of the OS. Again I didn't look at the zip, so I can't tell.

It does contain a file (static_nvbk.bin) in the RADIO folder so I would assume so too
Regarding bloat, you should be able to use the OnePlus 3 DBLOATR as it should be almost the same - minus some firmware-related
EDIT:
When checking the readable binary...
the two radio files are identical.

If they actually updated firmware for the so-called latency problem (it doesn't exactly say that in the notes, but translation via google ..) , then one of you that installs it and sees that it works can zip up the files in /system/etc/firmware/tp and anyone can copy them up here for people who are bugged by it to use with their OS (or OOS), etc.
You'd have to make sure you have the permissions the same as the originals, so maybe just save all the originals as *.orig or zip them up or something in case of problem.
Thanks. -- I mean, at the worst, they can be 'diffed' to see if there was any change at all from say, 3.5.3 OOS.
I also bought a china set, and it came with Hydrogen OS. So I went to the Oneplus website to download the Oxygen OS and flashed it by just copying the zip file into the local storage and go to System Update and choose local install and choose the zip file. It will install by itself.
After running the Oxygen OS, I find a few issues. The main problem is the battery life. Somehow it dropping fast, the Hydrogen OS is much better. Don't notice the battery life drop. The other issue is the hotkey. I like the back key to be on the right side of the home button. The back button is on the left side of the home button for the Oxygen OS.
So I switched back to Hydrogen OS but installing the ROM above. I found the latest Hydrogen OS on the Oneplus China website and it is the same version as the ROM above. So it is safe, and it is the latest and greatest version.
Feel free to flash.

Hey everyone!
I know there are threads here about updating the Axon 7 already. I've pretty much tried everything I've read on here but I still can't seem to update my Axon 7 which is currently in version A2017GV1.0.0B03.
I've tried downloading from the update files from the German site, which didn't work & also download the B06 from the download centre, which also didn't work.
The update app doesn't detect any update files & when I try to update via recovery it gives me an error saying footer error.
Would really appreciate some help here.
Thank you.
1.0.0 - so, you should do Marshmallow higher up to b11, then try to do Nougat update version that you want.

First look at the back of the phone and be sure it's an A2017G. If it is, and you don't care about losing all data, just use MiFlash. You can get the idea of how to use it by looking at my DFU unbrick guide. Just download the latest miflash package there is, use adb and issue 'adb reboot edl' and skip to the part where you get edl by shorting a testpad on the guide. There you will be able to flash the FULL_EDL package with no problemo
Common trouble is that people rename stock pack - there is "update.zip" inside folder in zip. Check is that not dual zipping.
@marik1 & @Choose an username...
Thanks for the help guys. I feel incredibly dumb right now coz all I really had to do was just put the update.zip into my internal storage. It's updating now. *facepalmed to the moon & back*

Most Important is 2 Sim Showing No Service and when trying to Make A call Saying (Turn Off Airplane Mode to Make A Call)
Despite it Closed , SIM CARD Working on Other Device !!!
Not 100% sure, but it could have something to do with having the wrong radios on the US firmware.
Sidenote, where did you get the B35 update, would you mind sharing it?

It's official Nougat, literally nothing special
I think someone will upload the U files in some time anyways
Right, but what is special is that OTA is the only way it was put out. ZTE never made it available for download from the support page from what I understand so no one seems to actually have the usable firmware available to download in the way others have copies of the official firmware from ZTE support page. Plus since he has the Chinese model it means he probably didn't get it OTA and has a flash able file that he could share.

Hey !
have you read other posts before requests for help ?
There are a lots about.
Use Huawei Firmware Finder app to try to upgrade, go for B362 FULL OTA MF PV first
and if don't succeed try with B362 FULL OTA MF one.
All the info are inside the app.
Upgrade manually should be possible with Meticulus TWRP v4,
but it is very dangerous because of bricks, and i don't reccomend you to do, but
phone is yours and if you don't succeed with FF you could give a try... (be carefull)
Good luck ! :fingers-crossed:

Well, dload method won't work to upgrade to android 7.
Try the versions i suggested you.
Follow correctly the procedure inside the app,
try with vpn method.
Select the update, verify it with your imei and launch the download.(edited)
Look inside your inbuild updater if an update is offered.
If yes download till 5% and press pause. Now stop vpn, then continue with inbuild updater.
You should be able to upgrade..

Damn... are you full stock ? do you switched between roms ?
Maybe your current firmware aren't able to upgrade
and need an intermedie firmware such as this one - VNS-L23C605B120CUSTC605D126
(i think is for dual sim but not sure, check with imei first and really don't know if will work).
If let you update to this firmware you should look forward for android 7.

So you did it ? Yeahh that's a good new !!
Dude update the same way you already done with FF. Try with latest rom...
In FF, in search tab type only VNS-L23C605 and you'll see all the available firmwares.
Select B394 FULL OTA MF (2.07gb size), use the vpn method, register and use inbuild updater.
As i can see this should be the latest fmw for your device with july 2018 security patch.
The other way to update is using Huawei Recovery Updater, you easily find here on XDA,
but you need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. Better use FF directly.

Check this Youtube video.
If even can't make an update you can still use one of the HWOTA methods
or use Huawei Recovery updater, you find all here on XDA.
