Weird. I installed B08 and still have 4G (no 4G+ yet)

have you tried reinstalling B08 over B06?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashHouse:
No afraid to kill it again. Had to do a full reinstall. Maybe better to wait for the Nougat release in January...

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

BTW mine does show 4G+ in B06.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LeKeiser:
I didn't have to reinstall anything from B06 --> B08, upgrade went like a charm :)

My data carrier doesn't offer 4G+, so... only 4G.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashHouse:
Tried the update again... But LTE 4G killed again. Try a factory reset with B08 now.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Nope killed it again... so back to B06.

Nougat is confirmed for the US model ONLY, global and China models have a chance of not getting nougat. Well, we might have to wait a month or 2 after the nougat update is put before our models get it
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kingo64:
I have been informed by ZTE Australia that Nougat is coming to the A2017G mid-Jan
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ourplaceinthestars:
If the past is any indication and above is true, shouldn't we see Nougat update for US version already?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelnkj:
They are registering testers as of now, or they are already testing it
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Loader009:
In a german forum was also confirmation about nougat at mid/end-jan. (For the A2017G)

The confirmation was from the german facebook ZTE support (or something like that), with screenshots.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JeffreyGT:
I'm having the same problem. I'm going to roll back to B06 aswell.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
I have B08 and 4G+ works just fine. What do you mean by "killed 4g" ?

Also i did a clean install: factory reset B06, install full update B08 and then i configured my phone.

Don't tell your own opinions as facts. ZTE Germany already announced last month that Nougat update will come in January. Unless you have some inside information we don't have?

Well probably the next software upgrade will be directly Android Nougat.

No more other earlier software version since we are a month before released by ZTE.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelnkj:
Kinda worried if I'm able to update tho, nougat update may be by OTA from B08 (guessing) up till now I can't update to B06, might have to ask the local service centre. Last time I went they didn't know how to manually apply update
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrashHouse:

Personal I downgraded to B03 and upgrade OTA to B08 without doing hard reset after that because I wanted to keep having double tap pressing the power button and opening the camera.

Previously I was at B06 make the upgrade to B08 via OTA after that made hard reset and result no more opening camera by double tap the power button.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Looloup:
Finally got my OTA Update (in France) ... I see that the bugs introduced in B06 (Accessibility settings not being retained, Live Wallpaper settings not being retained) are still there .... how do we report these to ZTE?

Good to know they finally uploaded full b08 image. I'm currently on b06 with TWRP. If I wanted to install this .zip what should I wipe to have clean b08 ROM? (I'm asking because I'm starting to think there's some things left when I flash various ROMs, for example when I first installed US b29 ROM everything worked flawlessly, but few weeks later when I installed it the same way there wasn't working cellular, I had no signal at all (I tried several times but didn't help). I just want to "restore" per say my device so it doesn't "remember things" as stupid it may sound. Thanks in advance.

Can you point me to any tutorial how to do it, because honestly I have no idea, of course google and xda search brings nothing of use. I'm really noob where it comes to this so thanks in advance for your understanding.

Same approach as putting TWRP just with the stock recovery as image rather than TWRP

May I ask under what country did you search for the B08? I searched for HK (where my was bought) and only saw B06.

If you install the full image do you lose all your apps and files etc?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tron1:
Sweden for example.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelnkj:
Nope. But it's best to back up data to your SD card. U may think that the built in backup and restore function ZTE says does not exist, it's actually in an built in app called "WeShare" backup data to your SD card

I was on B02, this morning 1st update B03, something like 200Mb.... and after this update, 2nd one for B08, something like 850 Mb...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vilperi15:
Actually the OTA just popped for me. So no need to install it manually :P
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fangmeister:
I traveled from Asia and just landed in Hawaii. Immediately I got the B08 OTA notice as soon as I connected to local network (roaming). This can't be a coincidence. Does the OTA update depend on what network I am connected to? I will install when I get to a place that has Wi-Fi.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonk3rzzz:
As if it was not enough that the US version worked better, even the G version works better in the US of A :P
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fangmeister:
Yeah funny. Installed the update without any issues. Any one know how to disable ZTE locker? I get either Cancel or Re-select, seems silly options but neither turns it off.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonk3rzzz:
Yeah I explained it in an earlier post. You need to reselect and then pick your own lock screen wallpaper manually for it to disable the ZTE locker. Don't select cancel.

I loved the ZTE locker but it slowed down DT2W and sometimes popped up some wallpapers that were rather NSFW. Couldn't risk it!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaiske307:
More or less I turned off every Energy Saving Policy for the Applications.

Only one I left active for all is the planned Activation in Background. Deep Sleep Mode and Cleaning when Locked is turned off.

Et voila everything runs for me (the Widgets sometimes are not up to date but not that far)

issues with update

hi all,

im new here.

my phone A2017G is running stock B06. My phone doesn't detect the OTA updates so i tried to update via the SD card.

I followed the instructions per the various posts here and having no luck.

When i try to install via the SD card im getting the following error

e: Footer wrong

e: Signature error

any advice woudl be appreciated. ive tried to factory reset to no avail.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelnkj:
Have you downloaded the update package from the official website and not the mirror version?

How did you update to B06? There should be a OTA update from B06 to B08

Sounds like you updates through recovery

I am also unable to update, gives me a sideload error.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alui1:
Hi, My phone came installed with b06.

I've downloaded the full rom around 2gb (the site was very slow) , and the update file but both had issues.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nigelnkj:
OK never mind that. Download the package on computer can copy the update.zip file to the root of your SD card.

Can somebody please answer this question for me. Does Nougat B08/09 support device encryption?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RobboW:
Yes, defaults to encrypted. Mine was encrypted when booted after update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
It's not a software thing. The Qualcomm CPU has something called hw disk encryption, and the only way to disable it is by formatting data and flashing supersu/magisk/no-verity. If you want root and encryption you have to install the rom, let it boot, then go to twrp again and flash the root thingy
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] liquid-motion:
It is a software thing! When I bought it, it had the original firmware (MM), which didn't support device encryption out of the box. So I installed LineageOS 14.1 and voila. There it was... Device encryption!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
No, you're talking about other type of encryption. Without the SW one you still have the internal storage and data encrypted
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ALeX850:
it would be great to compare changes made from B05 and from B06 btw (as in sound, multitasking differences some of you noticed for instance)

Is the dolby app always defaulting to "music" preset when playing a new song/video issue resolved?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedWave31:
In France as well, and I've NEVER ever received any OTA notification.

I have to download and force the update everytime, and even that doesn't work sometimes - couldn't update to B05, had to wait to B06.

Does someone know why they are rolling this in stage, when they sold "like" less than 10.000 Axon 7 in the whole EU (aka no support for EU)?

I'm in France too and I've received the B08 OTA update this morning.

I've also received the B05 update when it was released.

But I've bought my phone on Amazon, and it was specified that it's a German import !

A collegue of mine who has bought his phone on a french webmerchant has'nt received the B06 nor the B08 updates...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mickey36736:
I try it but it doesn't work.

Maybe if I cat a file using (If I have root)

cat /data/data/com.zte.zdm/files/tree.xml

I think it should find a real OTA link. Which is very similar method from zenfone 2.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Install aLogCat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat and then check for OTA link (click download and watch the log). Maybe this way it will work. Thanks.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
You don't need root to capture the OTA link.

Just ADB , you nees to enable USB DEBUGGING.

DON'T START THE DOWNLOAD YET

adb logcat > otaB08_log.txt

Press enter on your PC or Laptop and Now you can start downloading while taking the log.

The Link will appear on that LOG.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mickey36736:
Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't got the update yet. That's why OTA link doesn't appear.

I will post a link when I get a update. (From B06 to B08)

Does somebody knows if the root-methode for B06 also works for B08?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ALeX850:
Now that's a little worrying. I'm in france too and bought the device at a grosbill store in early november. Still no OTA update whatsoever. It was on B02 when I unboxed it and it never proposed me an OTA update to B03 or B05 when they were both available at the time. I actually just got a kind of "update" popup appearing during the setup process after setting up wifi but the popup closed almost immediatly and I never got it again, even after flashing the full B05 image with the sd card method and a factory reset... so yeah what's up with that?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lonely6:
hey i just recieved the update notification and downloaded it but after it finished downloading it only started a 15 seconds cooldown and did nothing after that. i restarted the phone after 10 minutes and it said the update could not be installed because of some packets mismatching. i repeated this several times and it always shows this message after restarting the phone. anyone else got this problem on this or any previous updates?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoxxy:
are you rooted or on unlocked bootloader? maybe you could copy the update file from your device and share it ?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shoxxy:
right. but but i am rooted again now and the update is not more available now. so i couldnt found a folder like this on my device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bustr85:

Managed to install the update manually since i figured it wont show up on the updater anyway. Credit to [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] for the method. Find it here

Important Notes :

1. Download the update file (.up) file from here (thanks [MENTION=5429599]shoxxy[/MENTION]) and rename it to .zip

2. You will need an external SD (microsd) card for this to work, unlike the full ROMs that can be installed via the root of internal sd.

3. You need to use the stock recovery for this and the updater app wont recognize the update.

The ZTE locker works fine unlike others who mentioned that they couldn't see the wallpapers. Will update if i find other interesting stuff and after testing it out a bit. Cheers everyone!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vizzze:
Just to be sure, despite the name of the file is "fota_B19MR_B22.up" this is the OTA from B06 -> B08?

If i have B05 i can use it or it's better to first manually flash B06 and then flash this?
