Hello,

In order to install the latest Lollipop 5.1 beta on Ascend Mate 7, please follow the steps below:

1. Download the update file from here
2. Connect your phone to the computer
3. On the root of the SD card, create a folder named dload
4. In the dload folder, copy the update.zip file. Do not unzip it
5. Disconnect the phone from the computer
6. Go to settings-> menu-> local update
7. Select the package
8. Confirm the upgrade
9. Wait for the update to complete
10. After the phone reboots, i reccommend performing a factory reset, from the settings

Enjoy Lollipop on your kick ass Mate 7 :D

P.S. Please note that this update is for the 2 GB version of the Mate 7

Dear All,
I confirm as well that the Update from Local failed too ( MT-L09 )

Error Message : Update Failed, press power botton to switch off your phone

Best regards

For those experiencing the issues i did when trying to update.zip on L09
1. Download SP03 Rom here. https://mega.co.nz/#!fVIUCbaD!JZerWHy66gCzpNQHB58at6mynNzulP5NARQJnLsmaEQ
2. Connect computer and set phone into "USB Mode"
2. Extract the dload folder from the rom directly into the SD Root
3. Go into phones Settings > update> menu > local update to apply the update
4. The phone will reboot. Then update
5. Delete the update.app in the SD/dload foler (old stuff)
5. Download the Update zip from
https://mega.nz/#!0BxHWB4Q!P34e3RI-hQT1ZY2WnfOosGmkq2wlr6NViq6ehQuWN5k
6. Place the update.zip directly into the SD/dload folder
7. Go to settings > update > menu > local update to apply update
8. the phone will reboot and install update. It should be working perfect.

Hope this helps!
