Same problem, i get this error:

Assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") == "P996A04"

In my build.prop, ro.product.name is set to P996A04. So don't know why the assert is returning a false.

Would it be safe to remove this line from the updater-script file?

As for the 1 I'm still having that option.

You should not perform hard reset after upgrade from B03 to B08 and now B10 just like I did.

Since B08 it's gone now as OTA you should try going back to B03 and directly upgrade to B10.

99% you will keep the double tap power button opening camera app.

Install and try network signal guru from the play store. It will tell you what bands you are connecting to and which are supported by your device.

You need root though I think.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iNaruX:
I'll try to address two complaints.

The quick access was never gone for me, neither on B08 nor on B10. I am a standard 2017G user who followed all the OTAs, no flashing, nothing. So if you just did all the OTAs this feature never disappeared.

- Dolby has 2 states: Headphone and Speaker and it will save those states. If you turned off Dolby for headphones it will definitely stay that way. When you pull them out, it reactivates. I tested this many times because I dislike Dolby when I am using headphones.

- Auto brightness fluctuating can be confirmed by me

This makes no sense at all, because I received my Axon 7 with B08, so that means I never had that option available.

Downgrade in order to have a quick access that EVERY Android has?, come on, this fix should be pretty easy and I still don't get why ZTE pulled out, it makes no sense at all because this is pretty basic stuff.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
I know that is stupidly movement from ZTE,but that's the only way to have that feature right now and all time.

Not performing hard reset after software upgrade.

But you could try,it's the only way having all time that feature.

Go back to B03 and do OTA upgrade to B10 directly.

I had the same problem, but I formatted my SD card and updated the permissions when asked and all went smoothly after that.

Anyway, I don't know where to find that B03, because ZTE only posts latest update packages on its site and I'm not sure if the downgrade will be successful because some companies don't let downgrade or when trying to execute the package it tells you is an older version.

:confused:

Well ,the problem is that I didn't have an SD card, so that's why I had to side load it with ADB. Still I think we should have the option to do it since internal memory as well.

ZTE Germany Forums have announced that English is now allowed on their forums but the support is primarly aimed at Germans but they understand it is the only European board.

You can voice all your complaints there and they will see it first hand!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
You won't have any issue.

It's absolutely safe.

I've tested as I said downgrade from B08 to 3.

You will find B03 official rom at B08 thread as megaupload link.

Extract it and put the update zip file at micro sd or internal storage and go update at settings and do the downgrade to B03.

It's very easy.

I've also do not get b10 - I have clean B08 (do not mess with bootloader/TWRP/custom roms because Im waiting for official unlock and official lineage)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mateolio:
Thank you for sharing, here is how I did it.

I have the a2017g version bought from Amazon Germany but I live in Sydney, Australia.

I received the phone with B06 version. I have no root or custom rom or unlocked bootloader.

I updated to B08 by simply downloading full rom (2.2gb version) from ZTE and put it at the root of ext.SD card. I was able to update the phone from Update menu in Settings, without having to mess with the Developer menu (OEM unlock).

For the B010 however, it seems that the FOTA would not be recognized by the Update menu in settings, regardless of the file extension name (.zip or .up). So I unlocked the OEM option in the Developer menu and rebooted in stock recovery.

I installed the update, which took about 25mn - 30mn surprisingly.

It seems to work fine now, I confirm that the notifications in lock screen work fine.

I am still testing but I find the network speed better, although it is a bit premature to say. I am on Optus on Sydney North Shore and managed to get 99mbs/s in 4g+, which never happened before.

As far as I can tell, standby battery is noticeable worse.

Before I used to have around 1%-2% battery drain overnight and now I'm having around 5%-6%, which implies a 300% more. Besides that, I can tell that overall battery is not good as before when I use the phone, it tends to drain faster: before I used to have around 55%-60% at the end of the day and now I'm having 45% at most.

Same apps, same configuration, same usage.

It is a shame because I was really happy with battery management.

An advice: do a full reset from recovery, let settle the new ROM for 2-3 days and measure again after that

Enviado desde mi ZTE A2017U mediante Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I made the update through ADB, and then I made a full wipe and factory reset, I also deleted internal memory and I configured every option on the phone manually. The same apply for all the apps I have, which are around 35 in total. I always do this to prevent strange behavior from one update to another one.

About settling the ROM, that's just a myth and it should work as intended after the first day and after all the configurations are set. When I received the phone 2 weeks ago (with B08) and I made all the configurations, it behave wonderfully after the first day.

Overall I'm pleased with the improvements in camera, but the battery changes were really crappy to see.

I couldn't tell before, because I received my phone with B08, but the battery management was awesome, and I was able to lose 0% overnight:

I am in B08 in France ... BL still locked / unrooted etc ... no sign of update (yet?)

This doesn't seem to work this time around. I tried downloading the linked file and changing file ext, and loading it to root directory ... then running update check ... this doesn't work.

Tried same thing via Recovery ... didn't work .... so it looks like it will only work if on an external SD card ... I have 2 SIMs in my phone ... so need to geo and find a micro SD card somewhere .... all a bit of a pain when it should be OTA

What did you try ? Just flash it with TWRP or go back to stock recovery ?

I did the following : (rooted users / BL unlocked)

1. in twrp is has no use to install it as the zip you've downloaded. The script has to be modified. Therefore i am testing it but so fare it stopped with error (system partition) after installing for about 30 sec. I am trying to solve that too....hopefully :D

2. As a test, I also tried to go back to stock recovery - in stock recovery install the unmodified zip over sd and even over adb but.... Result : error after couple of seconds...

So indeed, instead of what i thought would succeed in stock recovery, didn't go. Perhaps someone can clear this out too.

Anyway, i am trying to modify (see 1) the script further in an attempt to let it work eventualy :cyclops:

Hi

My Axon 7 is the A2017G bought in Australia. with B08 ROM.

As long as there is no full rom downloadable from ZTE (OTA is just an incremental update, it's a diff between an untouched phone/partition with a given version and the new system) there is no easy way of creating a twrp flashable version. In case the ZTE servers will be updated with the full rom it's an easy thing to look what are the differences from draken or my update files to the official one.
