[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Eiion:
Guys, I have no idea how to do that and although I did root my G2 I'm not feeling very comfortable updating to anything but the official version for my German Axon 7. Meaning, if updating to the swiss version I'm pretty sure I'd lose my warranty.

Also, I'd need a very basic step by step instruction without too many technical terms (and a link to where to get the file) to feel save enough to do it. It's just that I cannot afford another phone should something go wrong.

So, I'd totally be interested in doing an update to a new firmware version since that might possibly indeed fix my problem (and possibly 1-2 others I have with the phone) - but I'm scared to brick it/lose warranty. Any thoughts on that?

EDIT: I've just checked the ZTE website for downloads and I'm a bit confused... version B10 was Android 6 and version B08 is Android 7.1? So... version B09 is older than mine? Is that what you were suggesting, going back to an older version? Can I even update backwards? Usually devices say something like "The software installed on your device is already the newest version" or something along those lines whenever trying to install a previous software version.

EDIT 2: Found "AXON 7(ZTE A2017G )SD card software package(344070B1405ZTE A2017GV1.2.0B09)N Version" on the ZTE website - but what does "N version" mean? Mine says on its back "ZTE A2017G".

You're confusing everything... That is not swiss, it's international. The only thing that COULD void your warranty is unlocking the bootloader, and in some cases people have been able to still claim hardware warranty on their phones by saying that they have not touched the hardware. Also, ZTE provides those updates.

If something happens (it would be basically your fault, such as trying to update with 10% battery or updating with an A2017 or A2017U package) and your phone stops working, just call ZTE and claim warranty. Their update method failed, etc. etc. Although it is borderline impossible to mess up your phone with the stock update method... I think it even tells you that you can't update with less than X% of battery.

The updates are as follows: A2017GV1.0.0B01 to B11 was Marshmallow, and then came A2017GV1.2.0B01 to B09 which is Nougat. I have thought many times that it would have been a lot better if they called them, say, M11 and N09. But this is what we have.

It's not hard at all: Go to the Guides section, there you will find Raystef66's download center. Download the file called A2017G-N-B09 (??), NOT the one under "TWRP flashable Bootstack/Stocksystem images". Those won't work.

After it gets downloaded, connect your phone to the PC. allow MTP transfer from the phone. "Internal Storage" should appear as a folder. If you have an SD card it will appear as another folder beside that on your PC. Open Internal storage. Now that is called the root of the internal storage, where all the folders are located. Just take the zip and throw it there, outside of all the folders (outside of DCIM, Android, and all those).

Then go to the phone, Settings, Update, and select the update.

Ok, so I did the update directly downloaded from their website. The update worked - indeed though, as somebody else has mentioned elsewhere, the phone now seems slightly slower to react to inputs when scrolling/tapping through the menu. Anyways, that's besides the point.

I tried connecting to the speaker, but still, it does not show up when searching for devices. Interestingly though I tried to make a new connection from my old phone (where I had deleted the connection) and the G2 now also can't find it (although it worked fine when the connection was already set up).

I'm back to trying to get one or the other device connected again. If nothing works, I guess I'm screwed then.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Can you find the speaker with your PC?

Did you actually go into the PC's bluetooth settings to allow it to be visible?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Eiion:
Sure, I did that when trying to connect it to the PC.

Anyways, I was trying 10-15 more minutes and don't ask me how or why... I did nothing different from all the times before but I finally was able to find the speaker on the Axon 7 and set up the connection. After that I wanted to connect the Axon 7 to the G2 - and while the G2 found the A7 within a second, the A7 did not see the G2. And after that I also tried to connect the G2 again with the speaker which worked as well.

So, all that's left is connecting the PC to the BT speaker - but I guess that's no topic for this forum.

So, thank you guys for your contribution, without I might have given up a few days ago already. Now I made it and have an updated phone. :good:

Semi-updated... you on B08?

The latest security patch is Dec. 1 and it's on B09. Just informing if you decide to update again
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Eiion:
As I had mentioned I was on B08 before the update. I'm on B09 now.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] RobboW:
Good stuff, my next suggestion was going to be if you have an option to reset the speaker. No need now.

Sometimes you could get stuck with too many pairings. It's good to delete un-needed pairings on the phone but on a speaker you generally can only reset.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Eiion:
Yeah, I thought of that too and searched the manual for it - but didn't find anything. Then I tried several button press combinations while on or while turning it on... you know, sometimes they simply don't put every function in the manual. But nothing seemed to do it. Or maybe it did - how would I know, it has no display.

But anyways, it works and that's all that matters :o

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] LEDJSTYLE:
Hi,

Just to remind you, you can use the search and advance button, it's veru usefull when you begin... ;)

In order to answer your question asap :

First use Hard Spl from olipro : http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=69875&d=1202629374

Be sure your device is connected to activsync and double click on ROMUpdateUtility.exe. You'll have tricolor screen on your device and you'll need to unplug and replug quickly for the Hardspl to run correctly. (read this original thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=351964)

Then you can flash any rom you wanna (radio, splash, os)

It's the same procedure for flashing a rom, just choose the one you prefer but remind you have to use rom made for your Polaris or you'll have to cook the rom to do not brick your device.

I hope i could help you.

sfr boot splash

Hi,

could someone who still have the boot splash from sfr, told me if it is the same as the picture attached?

I'm talking about the first splash when you power up your device, not the animated one that comes after, nor the WM6 one before WM6 loads.

If it is the same i'll upload a ready-to-flash RUU_Signed.nbh so that people can put there device back to sfr state (waranty, etc...).

Thanks.

Bonjour,

est-ce que quelqu'un qui aurait encore le boot splash, pourrait me dire si c'est le même que sur la photo attachée?

Je parle du 1er splash quand on met la machine en route, pas le suivant qui est animé, ni celui de WM6 avant le lancement de WM6.

[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] thref23:
For those using your Z3TC as a phone - what carrier are you currently on?

Shortly after I bought the Z3TC, T-Mobile suddenly classified it as a tablet and I ported to AT&T. I ended up on Cricket for awhile and then MetroPCS. I recently took advantage of Mintsim's Black Friday deal. Mintsim operates on the T-Mobile network and is essentially a Costco approach to wireless; with taxes I paid about $81 up front for six months of talk, text, and 10GBs of LTE data each month. It is really an unbeatable deal.

So anyways, tonight I finally got around to activating my Mintsim account, and porting my number from MetroPCS. (UPDATE I got my account number wrong when porting, didn't realize the port didn't go thru, got that sorted out and data now works...I can now recommend Mintsim). And I can talk and text but...data does not work. I get prompted to 'sign in' to the network and forwarded to a T-Mobile webpage telling me that my data plan is incompatible with my device. Bummer...

So now, chances are I need to port elsewhere asap. Any ideas? AT&Ts network is less than ideal, MetroPCS isn't the greatest value out there.

The other option is to switch to the Samsung T719, but...would it be a big improvement? Z3TC is getting old, but it works well for me and there aren't many other true phablets out there...
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] thref23:
I wanted to add that my first post was premature. It turns out my port never went through properly. I'll report back - if Mintsim works it is by far the best value out there.

Solution.

Your phone must be unlocked and you must already have TWRP-backups of modem (NON-HLOS) and EFS from Р2.

1. Unlock bootloader.

2. Install TWRP.

3. Restore modem (NON-HLOS) and EFS in TWRP - you will get working modem, but there might be no sound in telephony.

4. You should install modem image via TWRP for Android 6 or 7 to get back to a working telephony (for additional instructions see post #3).

Later, if there will be a method which will work without TWRP-backups and possibly without unlock of bootloader, it will be posted here.

Modem download links:

How to restore a modem.

Important notice - you need to use modem with the same OS version which is installed on your phone.

Look here:

Firmware 062 - this is Android 6.

Firmware 233 and higher - this is Android 7.

Flash this:

For Android 6 - Modem_P2_062_ROW.zip

For Android 7 - Modem_P2_244_ROW.zip

Flash modem via TWRP:

1. Download zip for OS that you need (do not unzip it, rename or choose extension).

2. Copy to the phone memory (or to external micro-SD card).

3. Boot to TWRP and act as it is shown on the screenshots ...

For those of you trying to restore the signal

I downgraded to MM and did OTA till I reached S244. Then I restored my TWRP backup (EFS and modem) and flashed the modem.zip. For some minutes I had 3G and 4G (no 2G). Eventually I was disconnected.

Anybody with a similiar experience?

I did put some paper above the SIM card to increase the pressure. Took it out before I got a signal though.
