[INFO] Download link FOTA B04 - A2017G Nougat (german brand sale)

[raystef66]

For those who are interested and are on stock non-rooted and didn't receive the (german) update by now, here is the logcat link i took :
( i was already on B04(bootstack/system (Australia)) but couldn't help to go back to B02 to have the link and share it - of course back on B04 :cyclops: )

( http://dl1.ztems.com:80/zxmdmp/down...es/HK/ZTE/ZTE A2017G/406489/fota_B04_B06MR.up )

or here the same uploaded zip file with a "little" bit faster download speed

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634768949


Rename to .zip (or try the .up file) ( you may even rename it to update.zip ...)
you don't have to upzip it
Put into root SD (external) or try internal storage
...and update via settings ( when on B02)
ps : when your phone won't detect the zip, you could try to wipe cache in stock recovery and reboot again and try to update again into settings menu

or update in stock recovery either via ADB sideload or update from SD



Enjoy !

Thanks Bro was looking for this.

So I'm able to flash the fota updates via system recovery, but is there any reason why the system updater isn't detecting the files on SD card/not receiving the B04 prompt? ?

Unpack the zip-file, but it in the root of your phone or in the root of external sd card.

Just to be clear, you're suggesting to rename the .up file to .zip, then unpack said .zip file to root directory? ?

Just rename. You don't have to unzip anything.
Although I did the update with the UP file once in adb sideload (in stock recovery) when I was on B01.
This is for non rooted users. It's just the clean, German original update from ZTE. Just for those who didn't get it by now.

Yes you can, either adb sideload or via update sd, all in stock recovery.
Or via the normal way when your phone detects the SD update. I have no idea why your phone doesn't detect the OTA on your SD by the normal way via settings. It should but this thing happens often.

ooops, sorry my bad...didn't read the whole thread...thought you had the whole zip...I had similar problem with the .up file so the easiest way to do the update was downloading the whole firmware zip...

You mean the " australian " one. AFAIK there isn't already posted a german region whole firmware zip. (could be wrong)
Although i believe there won't be much difference in the end result

Jep, you are not wrong...there's no German full version released yet...I've used Australian one, and so far so good...

You can upgrade straight using the Australian full V1.2.0B04 ROM. It's 2GB++ file size. Extract the update.zip and put into the root directory of your internal storage or SD card. Then open the system update and it should detect the new firmware.

My phone doesn't detect the update from internal neither from SD. I tried both files, and cleared cache. Says my firmware is up to date, I'll wait till it pops up officially for my region

Try in recovery. Either via SD or via adb sideload update.zip (put zip in adb folder PC)
(Also try all these steps with .UP instead of .ZIP)

Or flash the whole Australian zip bootstack + system. I'm running on that one. Or flash the original full Australian zip.
Possibilities enough
I know...the A7 can be stubborn :silly:

You should try factory reset first.

Ok will do ...but anyways I heard B02 has better signal..can I just flash B02 over B04?
