Any ways to update from kitkat b143 firmware? Haven't updated in a year

I've had my ascend mate 7 MT7-L09 for over a year now and haven't rooted or unlocked the bootloader. I've been still using android 4.4.2 and there haven't been any updates since the only OTA update to b143. Is there any way to update my phone to the latest firmware and android version? All of the guides I've found online all start from a different firmware and I don't want to brick my phone. I'm in the US using AT&T if that info helps at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My testing phone can't find an update - stuck on an old software version

Hi!
I've recently received a demo unit of Xperia XZ (F8331) which I have to write a review on. I must return it to the carrier within three weeks. The problem is that the phone is stuck on a very old version of marshmallow, specifically version 39.0.A.1.213 and July 2016 security patch. When I check for updates in settings or with Sony's phone Companion, there aren't any updates found. I'd really like to get the official nougat running on the device, but I mustn't void the warranty or leave any traces of software changing since I have to return it. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks in advance.

Flash nougat ftf with flashtool, here a guides to follow.

Carriers usually controls the availability of the update (they have to approve the new SW, etc).. this sometimes can be the reason of a delayed update.
However, other common issues with update is that your device came with unlocked bootloader and/or it's rooted or even it's a device with special SW for review units.
If you check in the Xperia Firm, there are 3 units stuck at this version (see screenshot).
If you are allowed to flash your device, I do recommend you do it manually.

Hi!
Just a little update. I did upgrade it by following the tutorial found on xda. I flashed the official nougat firmware for my country (Slovenia, if anyone is interested... There is only one official firmware for it on XperiFirm) all went through smoothly. The warranty is still there (checked in settings) and everything works better. I am guessing it was a pre-released version of software installed on it which had blocked updates because of the old July 2016 security patch. The bootloader was and still is untouched (checked that). I hope they don't notice, but if they do, I guess I'll just to buy my first Xperia hahah What do you guys think - have I made a mistake?
Thanks for help, everyone!

I believe you should hold. Got my Nokia 3 ftom the repair and they said they replaced the whole board

Seems the update has been pulled did the couple updates got out the box still on 7.0 and says I'm up to date , this phone os needs addressing very slow and laggy shame it's nice size and design just let down by CPU and os I'm finding so far I was worried buying a phone with 2gb and quad core don't think ram the issue as even after installing 70 apps I'm seeing just under 1Gb free think HMD should of went with slightly better CPU I would happily pay extra £30 for a SD CPU .. let's hope android O helps

OS update 8.0

Hi,
I bought this htc u11 last month when i was in India. It's an unlocked version. However, i see that htc has already rolled out the os update and November patch through ota. Now, I'm in Ireland. I'm checking for system updates but unable to get one and the news state that os has started to roll out for sprint htc u11. Does country change affect the updates? I was using vodafone in india and now I'm using lyca. Also, i initially bought google pixel 2 xl but there were loads of glitches. I did love the device but due to hardware issues, more time requirement to sort and since i did not have much time had to have it returned. However, it was returned and bought u11. I'm putting this up since i have read that google release out android updates. So would be some kind of avengers or something? I'm eagerly waiting for the update since i have seen it unlocks lots more functions on the device.
Awaiting your response. And apologies for such a ling convo.

Updates are for the phone not the carrier. You should be able to get the update via WiFi if its available.
If the phone has been rooted then you'll have to reset it back to stock before the update will show.

I just updated to Android 8 ( stock rom) and it became sluggish... It was way more fluid with Android 7... Don't update yet!!!
BTW any suggestions??
I don't think I can downgrade back to Android 7 being no root ???

But if I want to update my phone with Firmware Finder....witch version do I have to choose...?
PIC-AL00 ?
