[Completed] ZTE Axon 7 Nougat Update with TWRP - XDA Assist

Hello,
I just received the notification that I can update to the new version of android from an OTA update.
1. Obviously fails when trying to go straight into TWRP and update
2. Cannot find the OTA file
3. Tried making my phone stock but the software is not replacing TWRP with the system recovery.
4. I have unlocked bootloader...
I'd love any help since I bought a Daydream in November thinking they'd release a Nougat update by December, now that it came out I am anxious and cannot even install it! :/

Huawei MT7-TL10 - what is the latest official update/how to update if already rooted

Hi All,
I am having trouble looking for a thread that would help me update my rooted MT7-TL10, my current version is TL10V100R001C00B120SP04. Is it easier if I just unroot it first then install
via OTA? The new pending version under EMUI updater is TL10V100R001C00B130. I dont think it has a noticeable change with my current version but I really would want a Lollipop OS
for my MT7 (better if its an official update) Hope you could help me and give me the step by step procedure for this since my phone is getting really boring without the lollipop or marshmallow update.
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Here is the correct link to root and Custom Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-ascent-mate-7-unlock-recovery-t2941525
You can also root each version KK,LP or MM.
In my case never has a Ota update works, but you can do all by Local Update.
But you must go back to Stock Recovery
Thread is not working anymore.. What version do you have now? How did you upgrade?

I have version 4.4.2. The kitkat version. Never updated it ever since i got the phone. Received a notice on a new OTA update.. But it is more on for stability. Not the lollipop update i guess.
what do you want exactly?
Just want to know if there is an official lollipop update for my phone. And on how to install it while im rooted.

I had the same version on my TL10 (120SP04) and I went directly to B331 from dload folder. No problem in it. Just one difference - my device was unrooted. I made root after that and then flashed KangVIP 3A which is really fine ROM. I think I can recommend you the same however I don't know if there is any problem in your root (but I don't think so).

Did you reach the lollipop version via OTA? So i know if its easier just to unroot and update.

Hi again, Im receiving error tying to install this in TWRP. Hope you could help. Thanks
Mine was B120 SP04 also. I did the B130 update and kept it that way quite a while, unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted. Also had an older version of Xposed working with some modules. I tried a mod that stuffed it up recently, although it still booted, so decided to go Lollipop seeing as I had to work on it anyway. First thing is to use ADB and flash back to stock recovery, then I unrooted.
Next I applied B324 via local update. It ran fine so I applied B331 via local update.
Running good. Now have TWRP recovery and root. It's a shame Xposed doesn't work on it
I‘ve also not been able to apply lollipop incremental updates. Only a full ROM. Decided not to risk MM yet.
I‘ve noticed that on LP and debloat system apps, I have more free RAM than with KK. It also runs smoother. I installed EX Kernel Manager anyway and with a few basic tweaks the phone flies!
Seriously considering rolling back to Kitkat.
B331 Lollipop runs fine as a daily driver, it's just that even with it rooted, it's so hard to install any mods to customise it how I want.
On reflection, Lollipop doesn't seem to offer me any real benefits over Kitkat

Moto G4 Plus US XT1644 Stock Unmodified 6.0.1 TWRP Backup & Recovery/Logo Images

Moto G4 Plus US Variant XT1644
Build# MPJ24.139-64 Android 6.0.1
Stock Unmodified TWRP Backup
Stock Recovery.img & Logo.bin​
Description:
I could not find ANY stock images for the US XT1644 variant so I made my own for others that have modified their system partition and wish to restore to a factory state and take the 7.0 update. Backup created on a factory reset unmodified stock build (not previously rooted/xposed/modified in any way) via fastboot booting TWRP w/system write disabled. Stock recovery and logo extracted via DD from stock rooted rom after TWRP backup was made. I pulled the recovery and logo images as these are the most commonly modified partitions (other than the system). This backup will work if you stayed on 6.0.1 and rooted/exposed/changed boot logo/etc. If you played with the 7.0 updates made for other variants, I honestly don't know if this will work for you to take the OTA as the bootloader/modem were likely modified - Test and let us know.
Directions:
-Have ADB working on your PC (google it, not getting into that here)
-Download TWRP backup here: https://mega.nz/#F!vBgU3QJB!R5J5RgZkvUiWHwmIfN6BkA
-Move backup to your proper TWRP backup location on your sd or external sd
-Restore backup via TWRP and reboot
-Download stock recovery & logo images here: https://mega.nz/#F!eBpB3Z5C!J6hoLKdfcObSLavWCsLnyw
-Power off device/plug into pc/hold volume down for 5 seconds/press and hold power & volume down until fastboot appears
-Move files to adb location (Windows) or open terminal where you downloaded the files (Linux) on your pc
-Verify connection
Code:
fastboot devices
-Restore stock recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-Restore stock logo (if you changed it previously to get rid of warning):
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
-Reboot and enjoy stock 6.0.1 and be able to take OTA
You are the mvp here!
I have the exact model, and it worked out great
When I was setting up as a new device, it showed some errors like SystemUI stopped working, and File Manager, theres a way to fix that?
Will it show any problems in the future? Of those same ones?
My Compilation Number is "MPJ24.139-48", should be ...64
In stock recovery says i'm at MPJ24.139-64/65
Edit* I had to flash a XT1625-XT1644 MPJ24.139-64 Firmware, then I wiped the OS with TWRP, then I restored your backup and worked like a charm, now running 6.0.1 MPJ24.139-64 with no problems :laugh::good:

You must have been on the release prior to the one I was on when I got the phone this December. Something is not matching up. You likely have a different bootloader, and modem. When I get a chance I'll extract as many partitions that I can get access too for fastboot flashing. I'll try to do it later on this evening. It really sucks Moto won't give us full firmware for this phone.

It's not available, we're still waiting for it, that's why we flashing stock firmware again
Thanks for doing this! It's essentially what I did to get the marshmallow update (restore stock system & boot via TWRP, then recovery & logo via fastboot).
Please let us know when you see moto/Lenovo push out the nougat update via OTA!

you are the champ!! i have exact same model but i am yet to update to 64 release as i just got the phone today. Just doing some research before i grease my hands! thanks man!
Sigh... Sitting here in California with an XT1644. I restored the last official stock firmware (Marshmallow Build #: MPJ24.139-64), and the OTA update simply check says my "Software is up to date!". With India variants having received Nougat back in December, I'm wondering WTF is taking so long?
I'm mostly interested in getting the updated baseband, as I'm now running @Silesh.Nair's unofficial LinageOS Nougat with few issues. I guess I'll keep waiting for the official modem update for this device in this country.
Hmmph.

Yeah, the US variant xt1644 still has not gotten the 7.0 update. So friggen annoying!! That's basically what I'm doing too, waiting for is the official OTA just for the radio. I'd rather have the 7.0 baseband/firmware before I start flashing any custom roms.
where to check?
i have the us variant from best buy as well , but i twicked it a lot .
How can i know when a nougat release is available? where can i check .

If you flash a XT1625-XT1644 firmware and you use it "normally" on a XT1644, at some point you will have ghost touch even with low brightness, but...
For upgrading, I'll recommend flashing XT1625-XT1644, (cause there's no
...139-64 XT1644 firmware, just a firmware for both)
Flash it via fastboot, boot it up, flash TWRP recovery, wipe the full system with it, download the TWRP backup that was posted here, restore it, then via fastboot flash the stock recovery (for removing TWRP) and stock logo, then you will have MPJ24.139-64 with no problems, just waiting for nougat OTA for retus version.
Here's the link for retus firmwares: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/athene/official/RETUS/

So now that an update to Nougat is getting pushed to xt1644 devices in the 'States, I'm having some challenges successfully applying the update with my unlocked bootloader.
I believe I've got the correct system, boot, logo & recovery images; I'm able to boot up, download the OTA, and initiate the update. Unfortunately, the update process eventually displays the green android character on its back with the red error symbol.
I was hoping to get the update, with the proper local and updated baseband, without going all the way back to stock with the locked bootloader, etc.
I know i had taken the October Marshmallow security update OTA with an unlocked bootloader... Can anyone share the minimum requirements for the current Nougat OTA?
Edit: I went ahead and returned my US xt1644 to the latest stock Marshmallow firmware (MPJ24.139-64) via fastboot and the script commands listed in this post by @yeshwanthvshenoy. Though I left the bootloader unlocked, the phone booted up and went through the OTA Nougat update process without any issue.
I stayed on the new/updated stock Nougat ROM just long enough to confirm that it's working well I'm on my network (Verizon LTE/CDMA), then I flashed @Shreps' build of TWRP 3.1 and backed up every partition before restoring @Silesh.Nair's LineageOS-based InvictaOS. At last I have an up-to-date baseband (M8952_70030.25.03.62R) and appear to have no issues on custom Nougat ROMs - fingerprint registration works fine, for example.

Yes your bootloader will still be unlocked unless you specifically enter the oem lock command. Read the tutorials, they all explain how to keep your bootloader unlocked.

I had the exact same issue, and your solution worked perfectly. It's unfortunate how difficult Motorola has made it to find the stock firmware for the XT1644.

If you are going to update with Odin flash full firmware. ( 4 files )
As for wiping your phone when you unzip the downloaded firmware there will be 2 CSC files.
CSC - Clean install will wipe your data ( same as factory reset )
Home CSC - Dirty install should keep your data
Always do a backup before doing anything.
Note: Make sure after you upgrade your firmware to update your apps so that they will be comparable with new firmware.

Problem with update to android 9

I have the original Android 8.0 system and software version 2.33.401.19. Two days ago, my HTC announced that there is a new update to android 9.0. It downloads it and tries to install it. After reboot, TWRP starts and I choose to restart the system. Nothing is updated, and after a while I see a message that the update file is damaged.
A few weeks ago I unlocked the bootloader, ripped the phone and installed TWRP and MagiskManager. I suspect that the unlocked bootloader causes these problems. What should I do to install this update?

not the unlocked boot loader, it's because you have twrp installed. you need stock recovery(and what ever you do don't relock your bootloader)you can get back to stock by flashing the oreo ruu, then you'll recieve the ota and it will install.you need the ruu for your phone.that's it.
this will wipe your internal, so if you have something on there you want to keep, back it up to your pc, then you can restore, also, you'll need to reinstall twrp and magisk after you install the ota.
Thanks for answer. I'm going to do this ....
Hi,
Is there a way I can just flash the stock recovery and try to OTA? Really don't want to backup 80GB and restore back.

Question Help no updates ROG Phone 5 WW

WW_Phone-18.0840.2111.200
Can someone help me please ?
you can just download the firmware from asus website. and place it in the root folder. after that restart the phone. i got no update too
When you unlock bootloader, which You have done to flash GSI, your device is automatically blacklisted for OTA updates, so no more OTAs even after flashing stock firmware and relocking bootloader. You can update manually, download latest firmware from Asus website, put it on root directory of internal storage, system will detect and apply update. Bootloader can be locked or unlocked, in both cases it will work.

Oh okay thanks for the information
If your bootloader is unlocked and if you're rooted you won't get the updates you will have to manually update that's what I do. There's a way you can keep root without having to reroot as far as the OTA slot. Download the firmware put it in the internal root of your phone and reboot it will automatically pick it up but if you are rooted you can keep root and update at the same time ota
