Still NO HOPE for Oreo OTA? - ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion

Will/Is ZTE going to leave us in the dust?
I heard the regular Axon 7 will be getting its Oreo soak test pretty soon anytime/anyday soon right around the corner for it for A2017G

Not a chance

yeah absolutely not happening. The 7 Mini is a great phone but I highly doubt it will ever see oreo OTA. I couldve sworn i saw Lineage 15.0 Thats about the closest your getting to oreo.

ZTE's current official response on the Axon 7 is that it may or may not get updated to Oreo. So the Mini almost definitely won't. The news sites that reported otherwise were incorrect. Look for zte_usa's response in this thread from their official community site: https://community.zteusa.com/discussion/53548/axon-7-oreo-update-whats-the-big-deal

Where did you see LOS 15 for the Mini?
Are you sure it's for the Axon 7 instead?

Well, tdm currently has the only Axon 7 Mini running Oreo in existence. He might be talking about that.

I guess you're asking if the Mate 7 will eventually get Android Nouggat. I would say highly unlikely, i wish we will get it but we'll have to see. P9 already got a beta of it with EMUI 5 so let's hope it happens!

My hint is they will release a small update for 6.0.1 first (camera and RAM management?) and probably after November the NG7.0 or 7.1 as Google Pixel is about to be released with that version.

My guess is the first quarter of 2017 for the H8, hopefully sooner but i doubt it. It could be worse though: the OnePLus X got Marshmellow today

Yeah.. Honor 8 will get the update soon. EmUI 4.0.1 might be released around November. And EMUI 5 will be released around Feb or march of 2017.

If it is already running on EMUI 4.1, then it is less likely to get another update.
It will get EMUI 5 by Feb.

VPN for update?

Hey guys, so a friend of mine has a One Plus 3 but he didn't recived the update yet. So he utilized a vpn to connect to servers from Canada and UK and he got the update.
Has some one claimed that he got the update from sweden, if there are any possibility to connect to another area to look for that update. Specially in sweden

Sadly that won't work unless you have a device from that region or you're running the previous firmware from that region. The OP3 isn't region specific, so he can get the update from any region. The Honor 8 though has various models for each region of the world. (L04/L14 US, L09 EU, etc)

Ohh I see, thanks for responding. That is sad tho :/
You shouldn't need to connect to the device OEM's server via a VPN in order to get updates for your device. As OTA OS updates are sent to each device dependent on their model number and the regional OS settings.
if you know the update version just download it online and manually install it?

I read the thread but I'm out of luck cuz I don't have wifi no router near me. To complicated to do that.

I don't know why everybody is in such a hurry to upgrade their OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. When Nougat is only available for a handful of devices at the moment. The majority of the other Nougat release are still in the Beta cycle and have numerous bugs that have yet to be addressed yet.

Just wait till you notice that allot of features that were in Marshmallow are missing in the Nougat Beta. While the performance maybe slightly better than Marshmallow. Nougat still isn't ready for retail use on the Honor 8 yet.

All essential features are here. Getting 5 to 6 sot.
I haven't faced a single issue. Plus I'm not a guy for complaining about features. I buyer the Honor 8 because of speed. And that's what I'm getting.

It's because the Nougat on this phone means EMUI 5 and it's 10x better than EMUI 4.1 .. trust me
it's a much better phone on Nougat EMUI5 ( Even Beta) BTW I think the current B360 for the L04 is the final Beta.
It will go live in the next 4 or 5 weeks. (Huawei is really slow)

B360 is definitely a fully functional build. I have yet to find anything broken and it even includes Vulkan api. As said above, EMUI 5.0 is miles ahead of EMUI 4.1. It's a much better and cleaner looking UI.

AH! I forgot that the new version of EMUI is better than the current version. It's the same with most android device OEMs.

Is there any way to install Custom ROMS after updating to EMUI9?

Hi everyone,
I got my p20 at release so I have the unlocked bootloader
After a few months of getting along with EMUI, the newest version (EMUI9) is just pissing me off with bugs and terrible performance.
I tried installing TWRP but it doesent work (cant touch any of the UI in twrp.)
In the Forum i read it has to do with EMUI9, so my question is:
Is there any way to get TWRP to work and install roms or do i have to wait for an TWRP update?
Just downgrade to emui 8, you have to do it through PC app. Just search for updates and there should be line to downgrade.

I know this reply is a bit late but anyway,
Openkirin released a build of Resurrection Remix 7.0.1 for EMUI 9 devices this week, and it looks like the P20 is on the supported list. GApps and stock Huawei camera are preinstalled. It might be your best bet for compatibility.
I was going to try it out myself but I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet (but have the code) and to be honest EMUI 9 is good enough for me as a daily driver, I can't find a good enough reason to flash.
EDIT 21/04/19: Unlocked my bootloader and installed RR 7 and touchscreen doesn't seem to be working on my phone. Same thing with Omnirom. Going back to stock for now. Devs on the Telegram support said to wait for the next build.

Yeah, but following this forum I have noticed that many users encounter problems like not working fingerprint scanner or hotspot on treble based ROMs.
Or maybe you can point on on some Android Oreo ROM working properly on P20? (Want Oreo because of Xposed, not sure if it is already ported to Pie)
Apearently software-wise Huawei is still as bad as it was 5 years ago (still remember and hate my Huawei G6), because when bought this phone (P20) hoped that at least it supports treble... sadly - just partially

Me too haha.
You could try it yourself if you really wanted to, it seems to be a hit or miss whether people have this bug or not. A dev told me a few other P10s have the problem while his own P10 works fine. I haven't seen many P20 users though.

OOS beta for the OnePlus 7 pro

Hello team,
Hope all is well. I tried searching about this a little, however, was not able to find anything solid.
Is there an open beta for the oxygenOS for the OnePlus 7 pro? And if it's there, how do we install that ?
I have the Indian version of the OnePlus 7 pro.
Thanks!
Ash
For android Q yes (don't use it, it's almost alpha build)
For android Pie no because Q is on it's way.

Well, Q, yes, I have it on my pixel 3 xl as well and I'm aware it's a little more broken on the OnePlus 7 pro
I thought that P would have its own betas as well, the OOS betas, like how the earlie OnePlus devices had I guess? ( Closed betas, open betas and full releases )
