[A2017G] Oreo Update OTA is finally available

[Chinesur]

I updated to oreo b03 from Nougat.
Painfully I lost daydream compatibility. This is a major problem for me since this is the main use of this phone for me.

I fear zte will not be able to solve this problem any time soon...

So I want to downgrade to Nougat version.

Note my phone is not rooted and I want to stay 100% with official realease, boot things and whatsoever.

How can I do that?

Did you download Oreo b03 from ZTE's support page for Russia? There is a "retreat-from-Oreo" build of Nougat b12 on the same page, as well as the normal b12.

Backup your data - apparently the "retreat" build is more likely than other builds to lose data when you install it.

Has the SD card bug been fixed in B03? I DID remove it like the instructions said for B02 but I have to set the damn thing up every time I reboot/power off and the path to it is new each time + SD card permissions need reapplying. Also, free space is only updated after a reboot - even if I delete 5gb worth of files.

It looks like A2017G B03 has changed something. The 3.2.1-8 recovery by @NFound no longer able to boot into recovery (black screen with 1 flash red LED). TWRP 3.2.3.0 works and can boot into recovery but that does not have the decryption ability so once you modify system it no longer boots as it asks for Android pin but never works. Is there a possibility for @NFound to update your recovery to allow boot into recovery on B03? TIA!

Just put it in your sd minimum size 8gb to work with you and start update
Don't forget extract the zip file to get "update.zip"

Does this zip also work for european phones or are there different firmware packs for different regions?
