I also have the A2017G, actually purchased from Germany although I don't live there, and had no problems updating to B04 using the "A2017G-N-B04 (australian)" file here, https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547.

Place it in the root directory of the internal memory and it should recognise it. I've updated from B01 to B02, then tried B04 using a supplied FOTA B02-to-B04,but it didn't work (not recognised, no matter what I tried) so I had to go for the full B04. It is the same as the one installed on new A7s currently sold in Germany so you should be OK. B02 broke my SD card recognition at system level (no problems in B01), however B04 fixed it. I refer to cards equal or larger than 128GB. If you have smaller one, then there presumably should be no issues.

I hope it works the same way as with me. If you have any questions, do let me know. And all credits for the pleasure to be able to manually update our A2017Gs come to raystef66 who was great enough to collate all images and make them available to everyone! Thanks raystef66!

Yesterday I used the Axon 7 after one month(since I used that period my other smartphone) and realized that ZTE Locker refresh by its own all the 21 images.

So if I’m not wrong ZTE Locker indeed works but in different way than 6.0.1.

It refreshing images 4-5 per week instead 21 per day as with 6.0.1.

That’s my observation that made with latest B04 version of course.

I had it in Marshmallow also. IMO it had nothing to do with the update, it's just very random, at least in my case.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EmbleerFrith:
I updated a couple days ago and to the Australian upgrade and everything runs smoothly (device bought in Greece)

2 things I saw not working correctly are:

(it had the same problems, in both of them, in MM) 1)when you turn off the GPS in the notification bar it really doesn't turn off and you have to go to in the GPS settings to turn it off.

2)the stock clock widget doesn't work, it freezes.

128gb SDcard runs as it should.

Edit:

Installed another clock widget app (xperia) and it froze too... :/

Anyone got a good clock widget that works properly?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ALeX850:
I'm pretty sure the 1) is the normal behavior but I could be wrong: what does activating the GPS in the notification bar is putting the location services in high accuracy mode, turning it off put the location services in energy saving mode. I know it may not be optimal if you want to completely deactivate them but I think it's normal.

For 2) you are right, the stock clock doesn't work with a third party launcher (such as nova in my case) but I found that the basic google clock works without hiccups (on marshmallow at least).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mario972:
Anyone received B05? ZTE Poland confirmed it's being released.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EmbleerFrith:
Aha...

It would suit my needs just to turn off, or find a tweak that would do that from the notification bar, but at least it's not a bug sir something.

For the clock I just got the Google one and will keep an eye on it.

Thanks

OTA doesn't work

Hello guys ... but why on my axon not arrive OTA updates ?? After a week of use, I had to update by hand from 6.0.1 through 7.0 ... Now have come out a new update to switch to 7.1.1 and the phone does not detect them even me to do something wrong OTA .. I also did a factory reset when I got to 7.0, but still nothing.ReplyMultiQuote
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Neill_Mitchell:
Image quality is all down to software algorithms these days. These algorithms are invariably licensed by the likes of Canon and Sony.

One of the reasons the Axon 7 is cheap is because they have saved money on expensive licenses.

Personally, I find the camera no worse than the one on my work Samsung Note 4. It's much better now than when I first got the phone.

One thing I've noticed after this patch is the battery life is now pretty phenomenal. Also, the terrible lagging issues I was seeing in the LinkedIn app have gone away. I suspect the WhatsApp fix has also sorted this. Network stack bug no doubt.

If they sort out why my 200gb SD card stopped working I'll be very happy.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ifek:
Can you tell us where to look for raw mode? I couldn't find it.

(EDIT) - found it, in manual mode! :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rolfey83:
Just to add, if you want real stock android, then the pixel O launcher will give that to you, including the long press sub menus. I posted i link on another post. Also the latest Google phone dialer apk give us back nearby places and the ability to block numbers without crashing. No root needed for any of it.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamburgle4:
I was on 7.0, forced the B01 update to 7.1.1, then got the OTA update for B02 immediately. May be for now that you need to be on 7.1.1 to receive the update. You can find the B01 update zip easily in the forums.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] quest982:
I have found only the leaked version. Can you give me the link,please :)? So far I've made three updates from B06 and I never published any updates, I find this thing strange.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamburgle4:
If I'm not mistaken, I flashed a leaked one too. The file was 2.2GB vs the 400MB OTA version. Probably an old link, but someone mentioned it on a new thread, so I just downloaded it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droggi87:
The leaked update an the ota version are the same. I had the leaked one and I got the 7.1.1 B2 via ota.

It did not appear automatically. I just had to check for updates in the Axon settings.

Could someone that did the update to B02 without resetting afterwards please enable Mi-Pop and let me know if you also have the permanent notification (when you drag down the notification bar)?

By the way, I never thought I would use Mi-Pop, but it has changed one-handed use of the phone for me (I have small hands :o)

It is a new bug as this didn't happen with any other version, including the 7.1.1 B01.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Twister292:
It is better to first apply the 7.1.1 B01 update and then get the B02 as a FOTA update...

Also, better to use a microSD of 64GB or smaller as the 7.1.1 B02 doesn't work well with exFAT...

Do you need unlocked bootloader to flash 7.1 b01? I'm currently on 7.0 b01. Also, which zip file is genuine? Thanks a lot!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamburgle4:
I probably should have said installed instead of flashed. No need for unlocked bootloader, just an update zip and using the built in system update. Just like the other fella mentioned, make sure your SD card isn't too big, otherwise you may run into issues after the OTA update.

Pretty much any of the links in the recent threads, using the approved file host should be genuine. If I'm not mistaken, they're all linking to the same leaked 7.1 B01 zip.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
How do i proceed with the updates? I'm currently still on MM B10 and I download the nougat rom and apply the update via SD card?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
Just to point that even when is the same device, some regions get different radios and can cause a problem. For example, Spain is one of the few countries that have specific updates for that region because it seems that German version is different. They are still in B09 and probably B11 is coming soon for them.

It depends what kind of IMEI or region has the device.

:good:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Droggi87:
Yes you just have to put the downloaded zip file in your root directory of your sd card or internal memory. Then search in the options

for updates and it should appear immediately. After the update you can delete the file again and start another search. Your axon should find the 7.1.1 update now. If not, try the same procedure as for nougat.

Assuming your device model is A2017G... You'll be fine... The worst case scenario is a slight loss of signal because you've flashed the zip from another country, but I haven't found any info/experienced anything to suggest this.

Where I'm at, the latest update is 1.0.0B08... And who knows when they'll catch up to the German region

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
Well, then is not from Spain or you are lying, because in Spain currently there is only B09. They don't even have B11, neither 7.1.1.

You can call directly ZTE to ask about your IMEI and they can tell you from where is your phone originally.

People in Spain that flashed Android 7.0/7.1.1 are having a lot of issues with signal and SIM cards.

A2017g v1.2.b02 7.1.1

I agree battery life is excellent with B02.

The best performance so far from ZTE.

Stability and smoothness top too.

Other things bothers me as mentioned other post that still ZTE has to addressed them but I'm afraid it won't being fixed at all.

All that issues I'm having appears first time with 7 and never fixed with 7.1.1(both B01-B02).

Still no update here (7.0 Nougat, stock rom, bootloader etc). What to do?

You can download 7.1.1 from this link: http://penlane.me/fileserver/uploads/official_a2017g_711.zip

After I installed this "broken" version I immidiately got the OTA to B02. You can put the file in the root folder of your phone and update via the updater app. (No need to use SD card).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hamburgle4:
If I'm not mistaken, if you're planning to flash a custom rom after updating to nougat, you may want to make sure you're rooted before going up to 7.0+. I couldn't downgrade to MM on stock (maybe I did something wrong) but luckily 7.0 was stable before the latest B02 update was released.

Otherwise, it's easy to update to stock nougat using the zips.

Recording quality on 7.1.1.

Does anyone here using the Axon 7 for sound recording? I'm playing in a couple of bands, and on our rehearsals I usually do recordings with the built-in sound recorder, and the quality of these recordings is really awesome. But after the 7.1.1. (and probably on 7.0 as well, didn't try on that one though) the quality is just so bad, the recordings are unusable. I noticed that they added an .m4a (worse quality) format over the .wav (better quality), and first I thought this is the problem cause on default it switches to .m4a, but sadly it's pretty much the same with .wav as well. I tried an other app for recording, the results are the same.

Is this a known problem? Or does anyone bother with the sound recording at all? :D On the phone's promo pictures they even said that it uses both mics for recording and it will be really good in quality, and on 6.0 it really was. But now it went complete garbage. Any advice on this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wineds:
In case anyone is interested I managed to get around the mismatch error. I was on 7.11 b01 unlocked and rooted. This is what I did :

1. Reinstalled tron b01 system.

2. flashed stock b01 recovery (I found both fastboot and TWRP 3.1 flash worked OK).

3. After this my phone would not boot - it froze on the startup screen (your pohone is unlocked blah blah).

4. Installed B02 update FOTA from SD card. It verified OK but did throw a message saying system had been mounted R/W 5 times last on XX/XX/XX XX:XX. The update did take ok and I am now on B02. But I think it has trashed fastboot.

I will try later to get root.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Interesting...

1. are you on G version ?

2. When you reinstalled tron1 b01, did you reinstall system and bootstack over the existing or did you wipe any stuff ?

3. did you reboot after b01 was reinstalled ? Or what did you do exactly ?

4. when you're phone was on that stupid blah blah blah 'your phone is unloched etc..." , did you install OTA via SD via fastboot ? Or how?

5. Have you managed to get fastboot back and root ?

[MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] :

1. Yes G version.

2. I only installed system and I think boot from Tron's b01. system. No wipes whatsoever. Internal sd contents retained ok.

3. No I didn't reboot after b01 was installed. I next flashed stock recovery whilst still in TWRP then rebooted to stock recovery.

4. b02 FOTA was installed from external SD card using stock recovery install update option BTW I extracted stock recovery from the full b01 update.

5. Yes I have TWRP and root back again. Also I found that I could get fastboot back using this guide :

Thanks to sToRm1nG and choose a username for their work!

FYI I have a number of HTC phones and restoring an untouched system is always required to take an incremental FOTA. On the HTC10 xda forum they even have a thread of backups of untouched TWRP system backups for this purpose. No such luck here though so I immediately made a system backup this time with TWRP in read only mode so I am better prepared for the next FOTA. Can't backup stock recovery though but hopefully a full update zip will be posted soon by ZTE from which it can be extracted.

Ok thats good news! BTW I used the stock recovery option Apply update from SD. I did change the FOTA extension to .zip though. And I put it in a folder called TWRP on my external SD card. Also axon7toolkit did not work for me to flash TWRP. So I used axon7tool. I flashed twrp-3.0.3-1-ailsa_ii.img first. Then updated to TWRP 3.1 within TWRP.
