Hi,
I have a ZTE A2017G (ZTE A2017GV1.3.0B02), is it possible to do something (root, ...) to recover a Daydream compatibility on this mobile phone ?
Thank you for your help
The rumour is that ZTE will release an Oreo update with Daydream support again included so may pay to be patient and wait.

It is possible, you either a) wait just like @RobboW said, or b) roll back to Nougat, but you'll lose your internal storage and app data if you do. Rolling back is easy, you just have to get the official Nougat package from the ZTE page (get it from ZTE australia or germany) and install it via normal SD card or internal storage method. There might be an O-N rollback package, that'll work, but the normal Nougat packages work too
The Russian site has an O-N rollback specific package alongside the other packages.

Hi there,
My wife has this P8 Lite (Young named model in fact) version ALE-TL00C01B250, which is a Chinese model with Chinese firmware.
I want to upgrade it to the lastest official chinese firmware, but the built-in sytem update check tells there is no other version available (Android 5.1.1, UI 3.1).
I have seen around some how-tos to convert to international version of P8Lite with Marshmallow, involving root and required tools. But we just want to keep the Chinese firmware, without having to install google apps and want to keep the so-called 'chinese bloatware'. So, basically we just need to find the official chinese firmware for the phone and use it, perdiod... but as I can't read Chinese, searching on officialor unofficial Huawei chinese forums is pointless.
Thus, some help here would be really appreciated to get the official Chinese update file and how to apply it properly.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Download firmware from either Huawei's official website or carbon Tesla and update it by going in setting--->updater---->local update.
.
.
You may lose is data so I recommend to make a backup.
Thanks for your replay, but the Carbon Tesla does not provide any ALE-TL00 firmware, only ATE-L21 which doesn't fit our purpose.
Huawei's official website (in Chinese to access ALE-TL00 firmware) is... in Chinese, and I can't read or find what I need... same as I mentioned it already for the official forum... but even after trying some 'random' clicks, I found only Lolipop version of firmware...

You SHOULD obtain the beta update.
1. Be sure: your phone must have original recovery and unrooted
2. Via HiCare (not from play store, but that preinstalled). From here go to beta testing, or rom update (accept the terms, maybe the text is in chineese but this you will understand)
3. If none above are working, try installing twrp, root, and flash sokkobans modified b564 cn firmware
(read the instructions)

Yes, we've got access to teh HiCare installed app, and there is an update offers (B551). Unfortunaterly, we have no account, and making one leads to error (probably a country issue).
But that's something I can try to fix.
Thanks!
It just bought it in the US... I want it to behave like a stock ROM European Axon 7 Mini.
I found out that the US model has limited language settings available.
Thank you!

I have the same exact question, not much info on the web. Anyone know if this is possible?
Do you have any firmware to flash (not update file)? I have ZTE Axon 7 mini from UK market and I can't update to european 7.1 android system. If I use system update function it cannot see any update, and same situation is with stock RECOVERY - after clicking "install zip from SD" and selecting file, phone restarts immidietly with regular 6.0 system.

Yes, you can flash it with the European stock firmware if it is the same model no. My device is ZTE B2017G bought in the US. I accidentally selected US Band in the engineering menu and I lost network services because I don't use the device in the US. I searched all through the net, no luck until I decided to flash the European firmware and it worked perfectly. I updated the firmware to 7.1.1 from the Russian ZTE site and it is still working well.
Hi,
I've searched high and low all over XDA for a definitive answer on this so I'm sorry if it's already been answered.
Is there a completely foolproof way to install a2017u firmware on a Chinese A2017 zte axon 7 which *preserves the capability to download OTA A2017U firmware updates*?
Does TWRP need to be removed and stock recovery restored for this to happen?
(I have seen drakenfx's thread on twrp-flashable systemstocks but I'm unsure as to whether these are OTA capable.)
Are all functions preserved and working on the A2017-to-A2017u phones?
Thanks
Ps.I want to install A2017U firmware due to concerns about security on a2017 Chinese firmware, and lack of camera raw and daydream support.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to fix a ZTE Blade V7 and need to perform an upgrade via SD card in recovery mode.
After a search on ZTE's website, I got a hold on the Turkish version of the firmware, but it doesn't work with my phone, which was bought in the EU, specifically in Germany (p653a10_EU).
I contacted ZTE directly via email but got no answer so far.
Does anyone have a link to the original (not custom) firmware for the EU version of the phone?
I'm running Android 6.0 at the moment so anything 6.0 or higher would work.
Thank you very much!
I've just been given this phone.It's my first zte phone.Im a little familiar with unlocking and rooting as I came from The Honor 8 years ago.However everything about this phone is quite new to me. Would like some help with the different processes in order to maximize this phone's potential. I've looked here and there to learn more but most resources I've found were quite outdated. Furthermore I have some thermal issues with the phone im hoping to correct. So where and how do i start?
I would recommend to downgrade to Nougat first (if you are using stock ROM, there is a downgrade package by ZTE), then once in Nougat, use Axon 7 EDL tool:

For A2017G firmware
https://www.ztedevices.com/en/supports/a2017gopen-market/?id=018CA84820E74A69B04A3D2BFCF6AC7E
For other versions, (A2017, A2017U), use Web search for ZTE firmware links.
Read carefully ZTE A2017G Upgrade Guide(Through an SD Card).
Extract update.zip from the downloaded zip, put it in root of external SD card. Then use Update option in Settings/Phone.
