If you are going to unlock your bootloader: Hold!!! We need your help before you do!.

[Jose-MXL]

Also please help me promote this thread if you see people with the intentions of bootloader unlocking.:

It seems that there is a ~50MB OTA being pushed to those who requested the bootloader unlock, before you download and install the OTA, we need you to capture the download link for it, and to download it for us. We need to capture these OTAs for wider opportunity to get better development for the phone.

I'll keep bumping this thread up since this is super super super important AND there is not high visibility or communication about it.

When you receive an OTA notification, DON'T download it. To capture the OTA, follow the steps in this post:
http://forum.le.com/in/index.php?threads/how-to-capture-ota-url.1875/

From @anks329, his steps are the same as the ones in the post so it should work, it is the same steps as the post above but simplified:
1.- Connect phone to computer
2.- Make sure drivers are installed
3.- Run ADB logcat
4.- check for update
5.- break the logcat process
6.- save the output into a text editor

If it doesn't work and this doesn't get you the link, don't install the OTA! you can still clear the OTA file and re-download it multiple times, this is NOT a "only 1 chance" the OTA will stick to your device until you install it.

This one too just in case...

Hope more people see this and we can find out so we can all do it.

Anyone submitted a request but haven't unlocked it yet? Please be two people please...

 

[desudecchi]

I followed the steps and tried to search for the OTA link, but no dice from what I see in the text file.

 

[AlesG87]

Would you mind uploading the text file somewhere?

Well, nice try, did you already installed it? I think there is a way to wipe it and try again or to extract the OTA file...

Wiped a few times and searched manually and by trying to find an HTTP link. I'll try tomorrow and upload all the text files.

I think the second one is right which instructs you to click on the download button, that should generate the download link, either way the instructions are nearly the same except after you start the logcat I think you should click the download button otherwise I don't see how the OTA link would generate.

This is the process that I used to capture the first OTA, it may work for this one as well:

1. Connect phone to computer
2. Make sure drivers are installed
3. Run ADB logcat
4. check for update
5. break the logcat process
6. save the output into a text editor

 

[dennis96411]

Are we sure the URL WILL be logged? Why can't we try a networking approach such as sniffing for the requests? There's probably an app that creates a local VPN for this.

Something like this?

It does work, many many people have done this, for several brands, it's an android process not a ZTE process, someone already used the method in OP (the updated as of right now) to capture the previous OTA.

desudecchi just did it, and he said he couldn't find it logged anywhere. I'm just saying, an alternative method might be needed if it has to come to that.

He did an android terminal method, probably I need to be more specific but like I said before, I updated the OP with another method that does work, the other method that he tried and failed I already deleted. Anyways thanks for keeping the thread up.

I believe @jkuczera did it and he is looking for a Dev. To check the Boot OTA,

 

[daneoleary]

Damn, wish I'd looked here before I installed, I'd totally help you guys out. I seriously want some custom ROMs.

We need more to compare the files and to see if it's tied to the IMEI or not

If somebody else can grab the file before they do the update I'll run a binary diff to see if we've got something useful.

Oh darn we need to promote this thread or something so more people see it. Since the Q&A sections appears first on page wonder if making a thread there would help.

Is it possible to downgrade or wipe and reinstall this update? Just wondering, could someone just directly install the B20 update and check for this update again. Just spewing out thoughts.
