Thnx !

In detail this is what i did ( because i couldn't update from sd nor update through adb sideload...)

1. I redownloaded fota from : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=71815722&postcount=51

2. I didn't change .up to .zip. Put it in ADB folder (you know..)

3. reinstalled Bootstack B01 tron1 via TWRP

4. reinstalled System B01 tron1 via TWRP

5. installed stock recovery from factory img 7.11 (https://mega.nz/#!CVczUSCJ!KtrJrbHMr9DNiI6LzA5Sz5QVQ91qPbGkVhOdG4S3Os4)

6. in TWRP reboot to recovery----> you will reboot in stock recovery

7. update from ADB sideload ( adb sideload yourupdateB02file.up)

8. let it update...will take +-5 min in my case, it 'hangs' on 47% (i thought it froze and tapped on power once, it continued...)

9. reboot system----> you'll have B02

10. use adb again, use ADB REBOOT EDL (see thread https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379), use command ' axon7tool -w recovery' just to reflash TWRP 3.0.2.2 . It will reboot system ok. Reenter TWRP 3.022 again and stay there.

11 to get fastboot again, use same thread as above under B ( leave TWRP running), in ADB you'll see you're in recovery, that's ok.

12. refollow steps 6 to 14. Reboot to fastboot will be ok again !

13 now in ADB type : fastboot flash recovery 'yourlatestrecovery 3.1'.img

14. fastboot reboot

14. your system will reboot without the anoying " blah blah blah unlocked"

15 reenter TWRP 3.1 again and flash SU2.79 again

16 done

I can't seem to disable the content hidden feature on lockscreen notifications

I have gone into notification settings and changed it to always display details but it still shows them as "content hidden"

With the setting greyed out and disabled in specific app settings.

Can anyone help? Or is 7.1.1 supposed to lock all content if you have some sort of screen lock.

And is everyones notification dropdown grey now no matter what theme they are using? (Found fix had to switch back to mi launcher and change theme)

(Edit again looks like new feature is that the notification panel shade will reflect your wallpaper)

Nobody uses his Axon 7 7.1.1 with bluetooth in a car?

Since the update (B02) I can't use it anymore in a Audi with kufatec BT... if I try and manage to pair the phone with the car, it's the mess (calls don't use the speakers of the car, switching off the bt on the phone is not detected by the car...etc)

Everything was working well before the update, and everything is working perfectly with my other phones (Android 6 or Iphone)...

It seems it's a known issue grom google since the begining of Nougat but no fix at this time...

Stuck on flashing update

First of all, thank you so much for this detailed write-up. And numbered steps makes it much easier to refer to the right step in the process. I have executed steps 1-6. But now I am stuck as follows:

a. I also put the .up file on my sdcard, but with the stock recovery, I cannot access the sdcard - I get an error message:

Supported API: 3
E: failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

-- Couldn' t mount /sdcard
Installation aborted.

Is that normal? I would expect not as the option to update from sdcard is present in stock recovery.

b. sideloading the .up file from my windows 10 laptop also failed with a message

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn' t ACK
* failed to start daemon *

When I then do "adb devices", I get the same answer. Seems similar to your original problem, so I must be missing something in your instructions.

EDIT 1: I rebooted my windows 10 pc and now the error upon sideloading is: error: device not found (and it is true that no A7 is visible in device manager and both adb and fastboot devices returns an empty result). Net effect is that I am still stuck.

EDIT 2: really noob error: in order to do adb sideload on the PC, I must select "Apply update from ADB" in stock recovery first and I had not done that before. Now, I get an error "You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this device. Installation aborted." I will go update my adb and report back.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Piet
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
Thnx !

a. is your SD card fromatted correctly ? And yes there is an option to update from SD :)

b. your ADB is still running - try to kill adb.exe in taskmanager (CTRL+SHIFT+ESC)and try again

PS : are you using the correct adb tools ? is your .up (or .zip) in the adb folder ?...

PS2 : also try with .zip later on

PS : perhaps better comment within my thread to help other people out - thnx !
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] piet8stevens:
Thank you for the reply. I assume you do not want me to edit my own post but reply in the thread. OK. Progress: I have now updated my adb and the phone is patching the system. That is real progress. Thank you very much. Will need to see whether it boots but I will keep you posted. Nothing seems simple on this A7 after coming from HTC m7.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:38 PM ----------

OK, next step: adb update completed and I follow the next step in your process, reboot. But I go into a boot loop: from the black page "if no key pressed" to the pictures with Axon in the middle and back to the black page. I also had this when I tried to boot the B01 Nougat. Still not there yet, unfortunately.

Hi Guys,

I'm on 7.1.1 and not OTA update shows up to get B02....

I downloaded the FOTA given on this topic, i renamed it from .up to .zip, but still nothing... i also renamed it to update.zip, but still nothing...

I'm on stock rom.

Am i missing something here ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] esorven:
Bonjour gregou,

I was in the same case, no b02 update with the fota file (tried also update from stock recovery) coming from b01 (1.2). Finally i successfully update without factory wipe from mifavor 4.2 with the stock rom (1.2 b02) downloaded from here (A2017G) :

I took a logcat from it at that time. Normaly it should work when you put it in root SD and search for new updates in settings.

You could also try to go to stock recovery and try to ADB sideload the .up or .zip file. (put the fiile in ADB folder)

Or try to update in same recovery from sd.

There are a bunch of things you could try. Normaly one of them should work when you're completly stock

You can find the B10, B08 or B06 firmware on xda or on the german ZTE site (I think). Download, put on your SD card and the update service should find it. I have downgraded before without any issues.

I have not heard of the 7.1.1 B02 update breaking network service though. You could try with another sim card first.

Good luck!

ZTE is now providing what looks like a full A2017G B04 (Nougat) SD Card package for Australia (A2017.GV1.2.0B04 / 2.61GB). http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=CF924E214F0D466A9712B8F09523F0CF

Interestingly, they also have a A2017G B11 package called "A2017GV1.0.0B11(SD rm_userdata)N rollback M". Possibly an image that allows you to rollback to Marshmallow, but is compatible with the Nougat bootstack changes?

How are you downgrading? Through the phone's settings or through recovery?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sToRm1nG:
I will test this today. The rollback is just the normal rollback but the updater-script will additionally format userdata (meaning you will loose all your data) as the new encryption is not compatible with MM.

This is necessary anyway. If this wouldn't be in the updater-script you would have to do a factory reset (since it is not booting).

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Well some further observations after performing factory reset with B04.

The good news is that ZTE Locker seems that's it's working now by meaning when pressing refresh button get almost 10 new images.

The bad news on the other hand is that the other 10 images it's the same as previous version from 7 and after that.

I'll keep on eye coming couple of days to see if refreshing by its own every day and download new one images or not.

If not then that's meaning that this specific features continue to be broken.

One negative observation is that if activate the vibrate on tap option on sound settings the sound pressing the navigation button is really bad.

I've disable it totally this time

Not as previous version when had it all time activated.

From the positive aspect As I said before the issue had with 500firepaper is fully addressed.

Also no more spyware from ZTE via Tencent Network Location Provide.

It's completely removed.

There's no any kind official changelog until now.

Will see in the near future if ZTE provide any kind.

Without or with....

Factory reset is for a rom change, uf you are upgrading the stock rom, no factory reset is needed. If you downgrade from nougat to marshmallow you need a factory reset.

You can upgrade or switch from au to de rom, try it and do a factory reset later if you want.

Its the same really doing while flashing or do it after.

I try to avoid reset all the time, backup and restore is a pain in the ass
