I have ZTE axon 7 mini from UK Carphone Warehouse distribution. It is single sim + micro SD variant (P852A11_UK). It comes with Android 6.0.1 (zte.20161125.112507) out of the box with no update yet. Screenshot of RECOVERY to compare (see attachment).
I read that there is a way to update this phone to Android 7.1 using the specific update files, but my phone could not detect that files. I have tried many of different firmwares with no success.
Finally, I managed to update my phone, and here is how:
0. BACKUP YOUR DATA just in case. Fully charge your phone. I am not responsible of any damage or warranty void if something went wrong. Use at your own risk.
1. Download Android 6.0.1 Spanish firmware ZTE B2017G V1.0.0B09, so '_UK' will be gone afther update.
Download link:
http://download.ztedevice.com/support/product/570/201612221103982/sd/20161222111119358.zip
Mirror (thanks @NewbieGamingYT):
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hYFuTYBHB5SnDeE2KCOHQf_62xr7EqOL
2. Unzip 20161222111119358.zip and find 'update.zip' file, than copy it to root directory of >internal storage< of your phone. I know some instructions says to copy it on SD card - in my case phone can't find it in 'updates' system menu, and it doesn't work in recovery 'update from SD' as well - phone just restarts after 2 seconds.
You can try to use your SD card firstly, but when it fails, just use internal storage.
3. Shut down your phone.
4. Go to RECOVERY - press and hold VOLUME UP button, then press POWER ON. Wait till RECOVERY shows up.
5. Find "Apply update from inner card" - you can navigate using VOL +/- find 'update.zip' and accept using POWER single press.
6. Wait till its updated. Few minutes in my case.
7. Choose "Reboot system now" in RECOVERY.
8. Go to 'Update' menu and check for updates. In current version, it should be B2017G V1.0.0B09 without _UK.
9. Update to V1.0.0B12 via OTA ('update' function in settings) - it should be available - about 450 MB.
9.1 If it's not available, you can download it manually, and place 'update.zip' in root folder of your SD card or INTERNAL storage:

Mirror (thanks @NewbieGamingYT):
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hYFuTYBHB5SnDeE2KCOHQf_62xr7EqOL
10. After updating to V1.0.0B12 (still Android 6.0.1), you can update to Android 7.1.1 easly (ZTE B2017GV2.0.0B09). Download update (link below) and repeat step 9.1.

That's all! Be patient, first boot after (every) update could take even 10-15 minutes. After all you can check again 'update' in settings, you should be able to make OTA update to ZTE B2017GV2.1.0B12 (security patch 01.september.2017).
Much appreciated that's great thanks very much :good:
Nice guide - there apparently is a last step and that is to do a factory reset after updating I have seen other users say all features are properly available after this
I still await my Global version from gearbest with that £90 offer !
"That's all! Be patient, first boot after (every) update could take even 10-15 minutes. After all you can check again 'update' in settings, you should be able to make OTA update to ZTE B2017GV2.0.0B12 (security patch 01.september.2017). "
Isn't it ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B12 instead ZTE B2017GV2.0.0B12 ? DId you misswrite it or am I missing something since I am on 7.1.1 september 2017 but ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B12.

Yes, of course, I made a mistake! Thank you for letting me know and I'm sorry for confusion !
Cheers, thanks very much, just what i was looking for. Worked out perfect.:good::good:
That great on nougat now :good:
Nice! Will this work for other countries with the "carrier" variant of this phone? Or maybe people can figure that out thanks to OP. Considering picking this phone up at PC Mobile in Canada. Cheers.
does it works with dual sim version too?
I had some issues at step #2 - the update.zip was being rejected with "E: footer is wrong". It turns out that the first 2 times I downloaded B09 Spanish firmware it was slightly corrupted (but not enough to prevent extraction).
Third download of the file gave a different checksum and worked for me. MD5 sum of working file is:
20161222111119358.zip: 1FE524FC244D41DBF39A933A8FB9D00F.
Also, the MD5s for steps 9.1 and 10 (these worked first time for me, but took 3 hours):
Axon7mini_B12(SD card software).zip: 3B5737EAA4527490BA351D2C9693EC00
Axon7mini_Android7(SD card software).zip: EEFD9487846778290A850A868630480D
Tried this on a Canadian PC Mobile model to test it . After the first update it bricked.

It look like the Canadians will be stuck with MM on the AXON. I use it for music and on WIFI so, it's working well anyway for what I do. I use it as a wifi phone sometimes because the voice is clearer than my VOIP setup.

You have to unzip file that you have downloaded and there will be proper zip (update.zip) inside.

Hello,
So, I am a newbie in all these things. Have an Honor 6 (H60-L02), B317, Android 4.4.2 and EMUI 3.0. Tried to understand this http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-stock-roms-t2963180, but so far not much success.
Q1: b532 or the latest available developer edition, hch one to download?
Q2: I bought my device rooted (or something like this: Chinese was changed to Russian). Now I checked the phone with Root Checker app, and it says "Root access is not properly installed on this device". Do I need to get rid of a root access or properly install it before updating phone to 5.1? Or it does not matter?
Q3: After downloading one of the stock roms from q1, hat are my actions? Is it enough to format SD-card, create "dload" folder there, unzip rom to it, and then to insert the card into the phone, launch "Update" app on the phone (the one with emui logo), choose "Local update" and wait? Or something else is required?
Is there any step-by-step manual for newbies like me? Something in a format of:
"1. download a rom
2. download a software version 1.x from this link.
3. launch the software
4. open rom in that software
etc."
It is hard to understand lots of termins and mentions of programs, but I am also tired of waiting for OTA-update, and none of the Huawei's emails answered. Their support sucks.

Okay, so I googled a bit more. Please, correct me, if I'm wrong:
1. install hisuite on pc, connect phone to pc
2. download the latest multitool, get rid of all traces of root, relock bootloader.
3. create "dload" folder on sd-card, put b317 rom in it.
4. apply 3buttons (+-power)
5. put b532 into dload folder on sd-card
6. launch it through "local update" phone app. wait till full reboot.
7. apply 3 buttons again
8. install gapps
Full OTA thread is
here.
Full release ODIN file is here.
A method has been found to install the beta without being accepted!
Thanks @jrkruse for finding this method!
You must be on PH1 to update to 7.0! Anything else will cause the Update to fail!
First download the update:
OTA Link: https://mega.nz/#!UYljzZyR!e0NDzPUCbDdFw-hZL6jS4sdg0Z3iOpBF7B8lYTv7-GU
then download the 2nd OTA file.
OTA 2: https://mega.nz/#!4AEFHYoK!WxyG8Smrsc6uiCBZtU4qOdsNd3Lk7RBWUSNE_rtTWeY Only flash this update if you are on the first OTA file!
Make sure your SD card is not encrypted or you may encounter errors
1. reboot to download mode (power + volume up +home) and make sure phone says Official under system and binary.
2. If it does not then you must odin the PH1 firmware, use the pit file and the full csc not the home csc file
3. go through setup
4. enable developer options
5. turn OEM unlock off
6. enable USB debugging
7. place Update.zip on Ext sd card in folder named "fota"
8. power off phone
9. reboot to download mode make sure both system and binary are official.
10. reboot to recovery (Power + volume up + home)
11. choose apply Update.zip from SD card
12. find Update.zip in the fota folder you created on your Ext sdcard
13. click yes to apply
14. Let phone start.
15. place 2nd Update.zip on Ext sd card in the fota folder
16. Power off phone
17. Boot into recovery
18. Select "Install update from sdcard"
19. Find the new update and select it.
If you would like to install the official T-Mobile nougat build you can follow instructions here.You must be on beta 2 to install!
You will not lose anything as this is an OTA
You do not want to be rooted. You must be stock for this to work!
There is no gear VR available on the beta.
Troubleshooting:
"E: footer is wrong" followed by "E: signature verification failed" : Decrypt SD Card and try again. Try new SD card if issue persists.
Rollback to PH1:
If you do not want the beta anymore or are having issues with it you can flash back to PH1 by following this guide:
Stock Firmware
or by simply using smart switch.
I just registered. We'll see what happens.
No way to trigger the update once the Registration is complete? I can't seem to find the update.
"After finishing the Galaxy Beta Program registration process, click on the 'Software Update' menu (Setting - Device information - download updates)." <-- these instructions from the Beta app doesn't seem to apply.
It also says the test starts the 11th...

Has anyone been able to download the beta yet?
@zimgir124 Have you gotten the update then? Because no one has posted about them getting the actual update. Only being able to register thus far seems to me that they are accepting the registration so they can do their picking and choosing then the 11th the roll out begins?

No download yet, however if you look at the date it say 9/11/16 which is November 9th, not September 11th.
It's also been confirmed on several websites for today and the date confirms it.
I'll update when I get the actual update
For those who want to see the FAQ, here's the link:
http://static.samsungmembers.com/betatest/binary/nos/US/faq_sub.html
For clarity, where is this menu: "Setting – Device information – download updates"?
It doesn't match the Settings > System > System Updates, where I would expect to see system updates.

It should come as just a regular OTA, so for me it is Settings > System Updates.
It might take a couple hours for the download to start
Is there any way you can capture the update when you get it? Didn't get in to the beta but I'd like to try it

Exactly... I downloaded the official app and attempted to register within maybe 3 hours of it being available and the beta "program" is full of participants!?! Samsung should allow as many people who want to beta test like how Google and Apple both do it...
Anyone seen anything?
Hi All
Hope you can help (because Huawei can't..)
I've had a Mate 8 for just under a year now and i've never had an update. Not one. A close friend bought one at the same time (different place) and has recently had the EMUI 5 update. I am still on EMUI 4.0 and have not had a security update since feb 2016. The handset was originally purchased in Germany and besides the update issue has worked flawlessly here in the UK. I would like the update however and do n ot mind if its manual and not OTA but Huawei are unable to offer anything like a solution. Does anyone know how i can update this handset without bricking it which is what concerns me. If it helps it is as follows:
NXT-L29
Build: NXT-L29C900B170
EMUI 4.0
Android 4.0
Thanks in advance
Hi,you have Global Version.I think for C900 there is no Ota Update,i can't see in the Firmware List
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/huawei-mate-8-stock-firmware-official-t3391727
I converted my C636 to C432 and all Ota Updates is coming
Ah ok, I've had 'global version' mentioned to me before. How can I convert to a different C variant and if I do do you think that will enable ota updates?
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk
I think you can update to NXT-L29C432B192 via "dload". If it works, then Nougat update will be available. But for more sure, let's other guys from this forum confirm that.
Good luck.

OK, thanks for the info.
Since had it confirmed that the hadset is a US variant (San Diego) and as such is trying to connect to US servers not UK which is why it can't the OTA update.
With this in mind will the dload method still work and if so, and sorry to be a total novice, but how to i do the dload method? (massively do not want to brick the phone)
Thanks again all,
1. Download the update on the computer.
2. Unzip.
3. Create a folder "dload" on micro SD card and copy only UPDATE.APP inside.
4. Turn off the phone and put mitsro SD card.
5. Turn ON the phone.
6. Go to "Updater" and click on "Local update".
That is it.
If update is not suitable to your phone "Installation failed" will be displayed at the screen and phone will be turn to the present state.

Hi All
I did all above as requested. Could not l;ocate 'uploader' so applied a hard reset and the phone updated although only the security patch.
As it stands build number is the same and no new update available.
Updater appears in the app list but no where to be found on the phone and the update in settings provides no 'local update' option.
Odd?
If upload is make it right in this menu after pres three dots shut be option "Lokal Update".

Sorry, I don't know why that happens. Does the phone detect micro SD card? Format again and create dload folder (without quotes), then proceed step by step.
That's all I can advise you.

Hi All,
I've tried again, this time using the newer link file. The phone processes the update all the way through but after restart the build number remains the same:
NXT-L29C900B192
And as such no EMUI 5.0 update is available. Is there anything else i can try? Is there an update file that relates spcifically to the above build number maybe?
Thanks again for all your help,
Hey Guys,
Im running my Honor 8 EMUI 4.1 FRD-L09C432B120. The device is rooted. Now I get that permanent notification to update on FRD-L09C432B131. I would like to update, but dont know how. After that I would like to update on Android 7 and EMUI 5.0 and root my device again or even not. Dont know yet.
The problem is, that I couldnt find a step by step manual or tutorial how to get the things done. I dont want to crash my device or lost any data, settings or customizations. I hope someone can help me or send me a link. Thank you so far.

Hi
It is not hard to do the update, and if you follow step by step it will nothing happen and nothing will crash
But since you want to update to Android Nougat 7 and want to have the EMUI 5 you can do it in two different way
First way and maybe very noob friendy and maybe the way to do it if you dont care about the latest possible Nougat 7
That would be in this way
Do it over the phone settings
Just do the given update to MM B131
And it will do the update to B131 and dont need to worry anything
After that one it should give you also an update over the phone settings to B360 wich is nougat android 7
BUT maybe it will give you just a newer version like B380 depanding on the region
For me it updated to B360
This way all you need to do is just check for updates in the phone settings and click on update the phone
After you do the update to Nougat android 7 and EMUI 5 it is recommended to do after that an factory reset
The factory reset you do also from the phone settings and it will wipe all of your data
So do a back up on your PC or on the SD card of your files
The apps you will have to reinstall from play store..
The second way I would recommend to you only if you care to have the very latest nougat wich is B381
If you want the latest like the B381 than you can save your self the trouble to update over the phone settings
Just do this
Download from this post there is an link given to mega uploads
Go to this post and download the latest B381
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72183284&postcount=46
When you have downloaded the latest firmware couse you want the very latest
Then extract the ZIP you have downloaded
You will get two ZIP files inside of the big one
Then create on the microSD card one folder with the name dload
Then do some more unzipping
First unzip the update.zip file and put it in the created dload folder on the SD card
You will have to put 3 files in that folder...
Look at the picture in the attachment how the files look like..
After you have moved the 3 files from update.zip to sd card
Dial this in you phone dialer
*#*#2846579#*#*
It will open one new window and than select firmware upgrade
Then select from sd card
It will ask you if you are sure than select yes and it will take few minutes like 6-7 minutes
And it will flash the first 3 files that you copied to the sd card..
The phone will restart from it self
Then delete all the files you have firstly moved to dload folder
Now when it is empty unzip the other full ota ZIP file
It will also give you 3 files like the first time
Like the first time move them to sd card to dload folder
Then again do the dial with the same process again
Select firmware upgrade
Then from SD card
Then select yes I am sure to install from the sd card
Now it will take less time to do the install
After you do this two installs you should do a factory reset
It usally help to fix some bugs wich can or dont have to be after a firmware update
But usally it is recommended to do it..
That would be that..
Just look the picture what files to have in the dload folder not to get confused
If this helps hit Thanks

But what about the unlocked bootloader, xposed, etc.? Can I just click update with a rooted device?
No. It won't work.
You'll have to flash the stock recovery.
And magisk and such won't work after.
The easiest way is to reflash stock recovery, do all the updates over OTA, and then re-root.
you can root with A5C customizer R02
include original recovery package
you can recover original partition with `a5c_original_6.01.04.B5` (qfil in edl mode)
and apply TF package (hisense SD card updater)

system version should same (version is folder name) or bricked.
install method same and gapps can download below link.
[a5 root & gapps ]
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/hisense-a5-root-gapps-customizer-t4097951
So this works just as easy as with the A5?
Just curious because I've done it on the A5 and am thinking of getting an A5C seeing no luck with getting Google on the Pro or Pro CC yet.
So I got the A5C. Can confirm this works.
Are there newer versions around @joygram?
I bricked the A5C. Anyone knows how can I get the ROM to flash without a Chinese number from the hinsensfans forums thread with this title?

I upload the Stock ROM with OneDrive, but I can't post the link (XDA policy, I'm new on xda).
I use it to upgrade an Hisense A5 (b/w) in an Hisense A5C (color).
Hardware model is the same: HLTE202N.
Also I think it's possible to use this software to do a factory reset on a smartphone that is already an A5C.

Here the Upgrade method:
Use T card to upgrade.
(1) precautions for upgrade:
1. The upgrade operation will clear all non-factory preset user information in the mobile phone. Please transfer important information in advance.
2. Be sure to ensure that the battery is sufficient. It is recommended that the battery should have at least 50% of the battery to avoid power interruption during the upgrade process, resulting in upgrade failure.
(2) preparation before upgrading T card:
1. Prepare a TF card, first format the TF card into FAT format;
2. Decompress the downloaded software version (generally a compressed package, which is divided into multiple compressed subpackages), and copy the obtained folder named "HLTE202N_TF" to the root directory of the TF card;
3. Put the TF card into the mobile phone and put the battery into the mobile phone. Confirm that the battery power is more than 50%, if the battery power is low, please charge first;
(3) T-card upgrade process
1. Press and hold the "volume +" and "volume-" side keys at the same time, and then press the power-on key. The mobile phone will automatically enter the T-card upgrade mode to upgrade. If the mobile phone does not enter the T-card upgrade mode, repeat this operation after shutdown.
2. Wait about 5 minutes for the upgrade to end. A message indicating successful upgrade will be displayed.
3. Restart according to the prompt after the upgrade is successful. If there is no such prompt, press the power-on key for more than 20 seconds to restart the machine. After the upgrade, it takes a long time to restart the machine for the first time, which is several times of the normal startup time, please wait patiently.
Ok. After getting my hands on the file from the upper link, and after a flawless flash through a micro sd card (8gb at least) i made a torrent file for the file. At the momment only my computer is seeding it so slow download, but if others care to download and seed, the file can be reachable easily.
Here is a small dropbox link to the torrent file, so you can download using a torrent client from my pc directly.

After flashing this rom, the software would find some upgrades (maybe two or three upgrades, one after another) so you will get to a higher version with more control on the e-ink refresh rate.
I accidentally updated Magisk on my A5C and it's bricked.

I updated Magisk and it works fine.
Can I trouble you for a new version that functions with 6.07.02 firmware? The updated screen controls in the new firmware are really useful and it's a shame that I have to choose between gapps and the new software.
Can someone help me?
I am not able to flash the TF Card update to restore my Hisense A5C. I always get failed to parse bin head.

I already tried different SD Cards. I have a working Google Version Rom which I can flash with MiFlash. But when I flash the "Original" vbmeta and boot from the root package and then try TF Card update. I always get this error.
