A2017GV1.2.0B12 OTA out apparently

[Vilperi15]

Some people have received the update already but for me, I've never received any OTAs and I have always installed them manually.
If somebody can grab the OTA and upload it to XDA I would appreciate it.

Reddit thread:

EDIT:
B12 Spain can be found here:

B12 Poland can be found here:

Both are 2.78GB and uploaded on the same day. The names match too.

Unfortunately not. You're right, there is a Redirection. I see Google Pay now in the Device Administration. Was it there before (in the B10) ? After the first start you can choose now between 2 Launcher.

Google pay is there on b10 if nfc is turned on. and there are 2 launchers in mifavor, one like miui and the standard one. I translated the screenshot and the security patch should be more recent, and they removed the email app. also the performance and bug fixes that nobody knows what it means.

Anyone can make a flashable TWRP version of this?

 

[RobboW]

Probably restricted by geographical area. As I'm in Australia, despite being on Nougat B10 I doubt I will see the update. Likely need a zip in SD as usual.


Anyone in the area serviced by Germany will probably see it as B10 came from there in the first place.

Are you in B09 or B10 when receiving the OTA?

Could you stop this? You already got noticed with your negative comments by many in this forum.
If you want to post or criticize, either do it constructively or leave it be.

There's nothing there.

Now it seems to be up again. What country did you choose? I found one too from Poland:

Got my B12 update for my Axon 7 A2017G

Just updated, via download (nothing showing on OTA in UK) my ZTE Axon 7 ie A2017G from B10 (security to Jan 18) to B12 (which shows security to Jul 18)

The link here didnt work as it timed out but going to the top of the ztedevices English support forum
ie cutting off the URL after support and then following the idea of Poland.... Smart phones... Axon 7 (Open market)

that offered two SD Card Upgrade files
ie the required update.zip software inside a zip which was itself inside a download zip
and a PDF instruction the important points being 3 ie (1) phone charged up (2) backup your a/c data [though shouldnt lose anything] (3) put the update.zip in the root directory of the phone's storage where it'll be accessible/recognised via the Axon 7's System menu for System Update

As well as "B12" rather than B10 noticed a few changes:
- during the update there are some new privacy opt-ins for ZTE Locker and Privacy policy
- the Android security patch level advances to 1 July 2018 (was Jan in B10)
- finally cleared up my previous experience of a cosmetic 'bug' that used to display at the end of startup process part of a SIM APN dialog (ie on a dual UK SIMs with o2 as one of them) - no sign whatsoever anymore

Note that during the second automatic reboot the phone will stay on the AXON multicoloured display for a VERY long time - ie more like 5 minutes than the usual 5 seconds - don't get impatient, just let Android/ZTE do there thing updating invisibly behind that AXON display.

re timings:
The download was a SLOW process getting the 2.8GB and then unzipping a couple of times.
The update process itself (once transferred the update.zip to phone which took c10mins of USB2) was over in around 10 minutes!

So Accuweather was there since MM i think, but now in a more fresh, updated Version, with the Option to show the actual Tempreture in the left navbar. Thanks for the tip with these touchpalshit. I removed it directly, was never a fan of it
