My 2017U has changed to 2017G after update???? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I foolishly updated using an update that was for Spain. My 2017U (North American) now thinks it is a 2017G and won't recognize my SIM. I can't update from SD card as it now advises that the updates are not for my device. How can I get my phone back to 2017G?

[Q] Asian 32gb Gold G2 to European ROM

Hello my friends, I've bought a Gold G2 32gb with ARE country code (United Arab Emirates) and software version D80220a-AME-XX, updated it OTA with the KitKat but the 4G/LTE isn't working.
What procedure should I follow to install a European KitKat ROM and have the 4G working? My device is 4G enabled (written in the box, and through dialpad's hidden menu I can enable 4G but when the device is rebooted the returns back to 3G).
I want my device to be completely stock and be able to have future OTA updates. I don't want root or custom rom.
Thanks guys,
Bill

AT&T Unlocked Blackberry Priv firmware update for Vodacom South Africa

I bought a AT&T unlocked Blackberry Priv on Ebay. It will not update to the latest Marshmallow version. I have been in contact with AT&T and they told me that I need a firmware update from my local provider. Has anyone have any experience of fixing this issue in South Africa?
Have you been in contact with Vodacom about this? I doubt they will help you or even give you a link to download a firmware that works in SA.
Doesn't the phone work in SA? Are you getting reception?
You could buy an AT&T Sim off ebay. I believe you can plug that in while on WIFI and you might get lucky

AT&T sucks
So AT&T have not officially released marshmallow for the PRIV yet. What is available is a the beta version only open to a few(pre-registered) users.
so basically when the update will be release we can install it via autoloader or, hopefully, ota on unlocked at&t priv.
you can install the update using the autoloader same as it is available for 5.1.1 as of now... for OTA you need the AT&T Sim card on the device

Update with pc

i'm from Ecuador and i have a at&t s7, my firmware is G930AUCS2APC2 and i don't get any ota update, is there any option to update with pc?
I'm using my phone with Cricket SIM card. I couldn't get any updates after April, so my phone stays in April security update (baseband APD1).
please erase or close the post, I sold my att s7, and bought a 930F.

Questions about updates

Hi
My Axon 7 2017G (I'm in South East Asia) haven't been getting any updates. My phone was on Marshmellow 6.0.1 with no OTA impending.
So after searching around on the internet I downloaded and updated to 7.0 from German ZTE website.
My current version is ZTEA2017GV1.1.0B01 and I can't seem to update any further
I have tried downloading 7.1.1 sd package but the phone can't pick it up.
So, can I update any further?
Not sure of the correct answer as I am new to Axon 7 also, but there are likely different versions for different geographical regions. I'm on B04 Nougat in Australia, no OTA on that yet.

First, I believe OTAs are are IMEI dependant. I have seen for example some German people having to send their IMEI to ZTE Germany in order receive OTAs.
As for the update packages, you should be able to install them. You must make sure that the update.zip is at the root of the SD card, not in a folder on the SD card. In addition, often when you download the update, the actual update.zip is in another zip file. In this case, you need to extract the update.zip from the zip file you downloaded, to the root of the SD card. Then the system update service will find it.
Finally, are you sure you have a real A2017G, and not a converted A2017? I believe there are cases of people buying A2017Gs from aliexpress or other sites, that are in fact not real A2017Gs. This could have an impact on the updates working or not.

I'm sure it is a real A2017G if the text on the back of the device is to be believed.

Indeed, if the sticker on the back says so, it is most likely true.
Wait, what? I thought there was only one type of A7 with just the 4Gb or 6Gb variants in international or Chinese. What's the difference between all the models?
I assume G and U is general and US so software enables different cellular bands?
Mine is a G, bought genuine retail from a shop.
Hi, there are three kinds of AXON 7: 1, A2017 is for china; 2, A2017G is for international, usually for Enuroean; 3, A2017U is for American.

about LG V35 update in overseas

Hi everyone!
I'm from VietNam. I just buy a V35 AT&T and i want update android for it. Imei is clean and my phone is unlocked. But i cannot update it. Have anyway to update my phone in my country?
Many thanks!
Hi! There is no way to get official AT&T OTA out of USA and without AT&T sim card so the only way for you to go is to update your phone via LGUP and flashing US OPEN KDZ from here.
Does updating using this will not relock the phone to at&t network?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No. Once unlocked from AT&T it will stay unlocked.
LG is the best phone manufacturer when it comes to poor software support.
