ZTE Nubia Z5S Mini Update questions - General Questions and Answers

I got a new phone today the ZTE Nubia Z5s Mini I noticed there is an update available but have some questions maybe someone could help, I bought the phone from China so no support available to me.
The update boots into a Chinese menu and I'm not sure as to which menu to select to upgrade the software, its currently Android 4.2.2 Custom ZTE Rom.
Since I bought the phone from China does anyone know if I will loose the English language if I update or any of the English functions?

There is a 05/12/2014 file for Z5s mini. It is named as Z5s mini Unicorn. Any clue what maight that be? In addition in their forums I realized that a 4.4 version has been released today (May 15th). I hardly understand that we may have a 4.4 in our phone. Anyone that could deal better with chinese in order to learn details???

Need update for 701L.

Hello, All.
I am the new owner of a Mediapad X2 GEM-701L which i have unlocked and rooted.
The only issue is this unit seems to be on B001 (Android 5.0).
I have looked through the threads and most of them are ROMs for 702L/703L. I cant find anything for 701L.
Can i flash a rom from the others on mine?
Android version 5.0 has lots of bugs and the updater doesnt find any new version for me.
What to do ?
i am at a loss here and i figure my only option is to change the device model # to a 703L that way i can force an update.
is this the only way?
The GEM 703L has more support, so if you can change to this one it would be a good elecction.
what are the differences in the 3 models anyway? I realize one model has 32G storage and 3Gig ram.i believe thats the 703?
the one i have is 2/16

The main difference amongst the 3 models is the 4G/LTE band support. The URL below gives you the details under CONNECTIVITY section
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/tablets/tech-specs/mediapad-x2.htm
well i changed everything in the build.prop file that had the number 701 to 703 and did check for update and it said no update.
i even used HiSuite to check for updates. Nothing.
I am now wondering, if i put KangRom and flash with that will it work?

So far Huawei only focused on ROM development and upgrades for the 703.
Some 702 owners in this forum including myself had no issues flashing the 703 stock ROMs up to B109 (starting B106 it is Android 5.1.1) but with the limitation of not being able to switch SIM for the 4/3G. Other than this, the Android 5.1.1 works beautifully for me on my 702 and I prefer to stay on 5.1.1
I've not seen any 701 owner done the same so far.
If you want to try at your own risk below is a good detailed method by "eenap"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-x2-gem-703l-gem-702l-t3228915
actually i saw that thread ...
at this point i am rather frustrated cause i dont want to end up with a bricked device.
if i had known this would be so much drama i would have bought a galaxy tab. (even though the mediapad is so nicer).
my only problem(s) right now is this:
in the thread you referenced to he has version above mine already installed. i have b001 which i assume is the lowest.
then
if i can find the original firmware just in-case i screw things over i can restore.

Original ROM hosted here including 701
https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Rom/Original
But the 701 stock ROM listed above is B002 - are you sure yours is B001 ?
ya well i guess i am unlucky.
mine says GEM-701LV100R001C100B001
i saw your link and those updates are newer than mine. maybe i should grab both and see if i can do a local file update with them

Update to Lollipop/MM

Hi,
I have a mate7 gold (32gb 2 sim) and I want to update to lollipop or marshmallow but I am not sure how to start. I have read several threads and seen how this is done but I have a version that isnt common or something, so I wanted to know if I have to go to another version of KK before going up? I have MT7-TL10 V100R001C00B124. I havent been able to find much useful on that version and so am not sure if I should go to another prior to the update. In the about section -> Certification it says Serbia, I dont know if that helps or affects anything
Cheers!

Hi,
It's better to wait for official MM OTA update which is to release soon...but if you are going to test MM beta version, you can find it in the below link:

Anyone Got Oreo Update Yet?

Oreo Update was meant to happen by end of June - anyone has any idea when it will be available via OTA?
"Dear friend,
Due to technical reasons will not be upgraded to 8.1"
This is the answer of the official store.
This is official from Ulefone?

Yes, said to contact us for updates at [email protected].
And they said that if you are from Europe, send us a phone to Poland. :silly:

Maybe you can send back under the misrepresentation of your phone.
One thing you can do is to say you will NOT be buying any more Ulefones. :good:

ULEFONE POWER 3 & 3s ANDROID 9 PIE UPDATE (TREBLE) (UNOFFICIAL)
It does not let me create a new post for not being a veteran user (Please, click on Thanks!), so I put it here what I found.
I have not yet tried it for lack of time, but it can be a solution to the sloppiness of ulefone with the update of oreo.
I leave the link:

Hey forum friends,
maybe the wait will come to an end. In the Russian forum 4pda the first version Orio 8.1 for the Power 3 is posted.
Hope it's not a FAKE

Tried it and I. The main problem he has is that it does not recognize the SIM.
I tried to fix it IMEI, but failed.
With a first look it seems stable.
If corrected it will be perfect.

oppo updates schedule

Dear oppo owners
I never used an oppo phone before but am thinking about the find x2 pro, i just wanted to know frankly if oppo is fast in updates specially the major os updates or not
And does it guarantee 2 major Android versions same as Samsung or not
Thanks in advance
Yea want to together to you
would like to know this too
if Oppo has a tool like Odin akin to Samsung where we can download fw and flash ourselves for the monthly Android security patches at least.
So far so good. Since I've got the device there was 2 software update (just received the second one today)
CPH2025_11_A.10 with March security patch and some improvements in system. Also Facebook got dark mode by default.
Where did you purchase your Find, did it have Chinese firmware or was it the global version. Mine has the Chinese and I want to change it over to the global.

It would require unlocking your bootloader, and I'm pretty sure you cant do that on Oppo devices.
EDIT: It appears I was wrong. I did a bit of research and from what I understand, you can only unlock the bootloader on Chinese variants. But it still is kinda difficult to do. From another thread
"You can only unlock your bootloader once your Oppo ID has been logged into the phone for 60 days or more."
"They only accept 15,000 applications per month and the quota refreshes on the 16th of the month."
But please let me know if you find out any more information about this. I ordered a Find X2 yesterday and I'm probably gonna want to flash a global ROM to get rid of the Chinese bloatware apps. Thanks in advance.

update schedule oppo
hi guys, for those with software update problems there is a solution:
download a free vpn from the playstore, start the vpn by locating the country of purchase of your oppo find x2 pro, access the settings, software update, and you will see that it immediately notifies you of the new firmware update. start the download, and after 10 seconds turn off the vpn and continue the download in wifi. I tested it on my oppo and received 2 updates. sorry my english.

Im in a15
perfect! I was on A06, now I am on A14
I'm on the PDEM30_11_A.07
I tried updating using a VPN tunner bear connected to Hongkong, Singapore and India. All told me that my current version is the newest.
I believe it only works on a global version. you should try to synchronize with the vpn the state where you bought your oppo.
Just found this one. Not sure if this works on non-international versions.

ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5G a2020n2

Was wondering if anyone is getting anywhere with the A2020N2 or A2020N3 chinese variants of the Axon 10 Pro? I can't seem to find anything aside from the 4g models. I did read a post in my travels that 'Unjustified Dev' was going to release a bootloader unlock for the A2020N2 awhile back but can't find anything more on it.
The phone is great and I was able to uninstall most of the Chinese bloatware but would love to see root so I can push the limits of this phone.
Some info would be greatly appreciated whether it is good news or bad news.
Thanks.
Seem to be making some headway on this.
If you go to this website and translate Chinese to English it looks like someone was successful in unlocking the bootloader and installing Magisk to the a2020n2
https://pianshen.com/article/70191805055/
The claim the tool only works on Android 9 and unfortunately I have already flashed to Android 10 b16 and can't seem to find a way to roll back. I have tried flashing the older zips from the ZTE website to no avail.
If anyone has any other suggestions on rolling back the firmware to Android 9 I would appreciate it.
I found the tool they were talking about on androidfilehost
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1899786940962591021
You can only find the firmware for this phone if you to to the chinese site and translate it.
https://www.ztedevices.com/cn/supports/zte-a2020n2-pro/
Anyone on Android 9 that wants to give this a shot? I would recommend doing a full backup so if anything goes wrong you can go back into DFU mode and reflash the original files if you are considering doing this.
Hy! Where did you found the Android 10 update for the 5G variant? Can you send us a link with the update?

Did you actually read the post above... It literally tells you how to find the firmware.
Yes! But the only version that I see it's the v2.2. Is that Android 10? Cause the release note field is empty.
yes, v2.2.0 b16 is android 10. v2.0.0 is android 9.
Hi to all!
I have the A2020N3 version. Someone can explain me what's the difference with the A2020N2 versione?
I'm still on android 9 and I'm wondering if it worths to upgrade to Android 10...some suggestions?
Hey! I found this post but looks a little bit outdated... It's ir possible to update the A2020N3 to Android 10? Is the Axon 10 Pro 5G from Drei Austria.
I received Android 10 update for my A2020N3 (4.6 version), the phone flows like butter! Where I can find a changelog?
