Hi everyone
ZTE Mobile Germany on Twitter, tweeted the following picture on 25 Feb 4:58am
I am new here and just wondering how many people are aware of this?
Do you guys think ZTE will stick to their word?
This means the update "should" be released in a few hours right?

Not the last one.
The one we will get shortly is the same 7.0 update the Americans got. It's going to be lagging aswell etc. After that, we will get 7.1.1 update confirmed.
Please remember that G Model has nearly the same software as the U Model with very slight modifications like volume being quieter and it is always 2 months later due to processing regulations etc.
There is no drawback to use the already existing B15 Nougat system on your G device. Everything works out of the box.
Ahh is lovely to know in advance it going to lag like hell how thoughtful of ZTE.
Thank you ZTE for all your listening, we never wanted stock anyway.
i bet it wont be out today anyway

Supposedly the new 7.1.1 runs much smoother, let's see.. I'm currently running the B15 on my G Model and unfortunately have to confirm the lagging. Everything else about it is decent though, I will probably end up on stock 7.1.1

If you are willing to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery it's as easy as ROM flashing goes.
You just need the appropriate bootstack and A2017G modem and you are good to go.
I gave up on official OTAs long ago. Every single manufacturer I had, even Google had these "staged rollouts" and somehow I was always the last to get it. A couple of weeks ago I was on the A2017G B03 version with NO OTA to any newer version. Never going to trust OEM otas again.
I do get that, and although I could update to a newer ROM, I sort of can't bring myself to do it.
I had so many phones in the past I'd messed around with, and as soon as you update one ROM it never seems to stop. First you're happy with it, next you're wondering if there is a better one, better features, faster, smoother and on it goes.
I bet many reading this will know that feeling
I really am done with all that, I just want to use the phone, so I'll have to wait I guess.

The first step is admitting you have a problem. Lol.
So, I was wondering if the update section on my phone is broken or something? Because everytime I let it search for an update, it tells me "Your software is up to date.", which is the Build number A2017GV1.0.0B08 on my device, while seemingly everyone else has got B10 or higher on theirs...I mean what the hell???
I don't know if it's something to do with the fact, that I'm from Austria and that we have a different Build history or something like that, but this whole thing is just frustrating to me :crying:

It seems theres no Update for Austria yet. I had the same Problem. I downloaded the OTA from ZTE Site for Germany i think and now im on B10
Download the version posted in the german site, copy to the sd card , install it and You will have b10 version.

New update coming soon apparently. I would recommend people holding off on it until a stock rooted version is released.
If the package includes new radios it might help us out with ICS roms or give us better signal strength.
Not holding cause I'm not rooted. I'm upgrading this HO! Right away. Sick battery issues

Hopefully if there are new radios they are GSM/CDMA hybrid to solve the Texting/SMS problem, and to make the HTC Rezound a world phone!!!!!

I just got mine Sunday and am still 100% stock. So I'll get this as soon as it comes out. Been waiting to unlock the bootloader and root it, just to run the phone for a few weeks to see how it is.

unlocked bootloader
Can I install the OTA on the rezound if the bootloader is unlocked only?
Hi, speaking as a newbie with a Rezound that's rooted and has an unlocked bootloader.
If I install this update, it'll break my root right? Would it affect the bootloader?
If I don't want it to affect my root status, would I have to wait until a "hacked" version is released by the developers here?
And if I ever install a custom rom, I could only get software updates through the developer of that rom, correct?
Thanks guys!
Per the PDF
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software update,
Software Version: 2.01.605.11; Baseband: 0.95.00.1118r,

Just checked my phone and it is already doing an automatic download of the OTA.

Yup. I deferred it, but I just checked and it's there. About 54mb it says. I won't download it until I know it doesn't break root or anything else I have going here. I did download that root protect software just in case it actually makes a difference.
is there a way for you to somehow get the http:// link?
Con its still downloading for me. I'll see what I can find when its complete.
I didn't ask for it start downloading, it just started on its own.
It is likely it won't let start installing automatically. So if it prompts you to install, connect to USB and see if you can find the zip file.
No update yet here, but my mainver was updated running ics so that may be the reason
I'm living on a yellow submarine
If you aren't running the stock rom it probably won't authenticate.
mine locked up at 54%. lol. on clean rom 1.5. going to do a nandroid and restart I guess.
The update downloaded to my phone and i hit ok to install it but it didn't do anything. no reboot or anything. Any suggestions
Guys.. dsb9938 1.0.2 rom has had this base now for a long time. Been running it for a while now and very nice. I didn't like the themed version so I'm running the stockish build. Just saying

Hello fine people of XDA.
First post! Yep, I'm a noob but I have read the rules and know what to do.
So, I'm just going to jump into the question. I have a brand spanking new G watch and want to install Gohma onto it. Thing is, I'm not sure if rooting will block OTA updates like it did on my G3 (still on 4.4.2 ) So if I were to root/unlock bootloader/install a rom/install a recovery, would this in any way make the regular method of updating change?
Anyone who has rooted their g watch and/or given it a custom recovery, please do let me know about OTA updates, anything I may need to know. Please. I'm desperate :'(
Thank you!
Yes it does break OTA updates. If you want to go back to stock the LG way.

Thanks for that reply. I am baffled by this though.
While you say it breaks the updates, I learned from another source side note that you must reject all OTA updates with a ROM installed... Implying you still get OTA updates.
If it really does break updates though, it would be cool to see some kind of after market operating system with updates become available. Preferably Cyanogenmod I recently flashed Cyanogenmod on my G3 I mentioned before, now I can update it on a different but similar OS.
I'm not sure if I can update Gohma, and I'm not sure how long it will be updated for. Therefore, I'm just gonna stick with stock for now unless I can confirm I can receive OTA.
Ok, here's another separate but not unrelated question. Can I receive updates after reverting back to stock assuming I could revert to stock recovery, if possible?
Thanks again.

CyanogenMod isn't a different OS, it's still Android. On another note, You can only update Gohma via the package the developer provides with each release, which flashes the system image up and modifies it after. You cannot receive ANY OTA packages while flashed to Gohma as the package asserts will fail during the attempt to install.
To answer your last question, yes. You can receive updates after reverting back to stock system image and stock recovery (recovery is needed.) as your watch will effectively be... Stock.

Brilliant! Thank you so much for your response, I feel loved <3
Sorry, I didn't mean a 'different OS' for CyanogenMod but... you know... nevermind.
I will need to find out how to revert back to stock recover though, I am a noob at that sort of thing and just used flashify
I will look for a tutorial on that but a link to one will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Download that and use it to restore to stock. Restoring to stock with the latest version of the tool will put you on the latest OTA available at the time of it's release, which I believe is 5.0.2 since 5.1 hasn't been released yet for Android Wear.

As the poster above me stated. It won't cause any problems, the asserts fail when it attempts to install causing it to simply exit from recovery and reboot. There's a tutorial somewhere on these forums (I completely forgot where this time) about neutering the update system so that it won't beg you to update anymore. Honestly though, I'm having more luck on 5.0.2 stock than I was having with Gohma, my battery life is pretty good too.
Like I rooted my 925I variant but now I see all these news articles about ram fixes and I am here like wtf do I do. Here's what I have:

Baseband: G925IDVU1AOD2
SamMobile doesn't even have firmware for devices imported from India. I also see AOE3 for SM-G925I but it's for Trinidad? Like is it safe to flash another countries ROM?
And do I need to full wipe to update?
You come to xda and see if anyone opened a thread about a new update lol. Honestly that's how you don't... And if you have custom rom, you wait until the rom creator updates the rom. If not then you'll have to unroot to get the update

Same here. Changes

No update notifications possible
Same question as original post ...
once rooted, how to know if my Rom is the latest or not??
I see some OE4 roms.. is it newer than mine? does it fix the RAM issues??
So many roms nr, it's confusing to know which one is newer...

I'm rooted via pingpong and an update showed up. Waited for download to complete but update failed. Tried twice with similar results. Phone was rebooted and when I check again for check update, it says....
So how do I know if the update was applied? I believe this update doesnt change build. I still see 5.0.2
bottom line once rooted the only updates u will c or get is when or if u get a custom rom and they update that rom
Well, I get the same too on my 925I
"Your device have been modified, Software updates are not available"
There's a new ROM for my region G925IDVU1AOE4. I heard there are slight improvements (not sure how noticeable) on the RAM management. I'll update when I have the time.
I believe as long as you have the same model number, you can flash the ROM regardless of region.
So far I have permissive selinux and dm-verity is disabled. We CAN have root if we can get odin to accept a custom system img. I need some samsung modders to PM me so we can figure something out. Our phones have secure download so I cant get a custom system image installed but once we get that we have root.
Also this seems to add VoLTE support to my sprint model(calling+ i believe sprint calls it)

With your dirtysanta, the whole v20 lines were able to achieve root!

I figure avoiding any updates would be a good idea until root is found, correct? In case they update bootloader and that patches whatever bugs would be used to get root.

At the moment its possible to use Odin on stock files to revert the firmware so updates (should) be fine.
I'd offer to be a tester for you. Very familiar with ODIN, ADB/Fastboot etc. It does not seem you need testers so I won't PM you.
Good luck and I'm sure with all the great minds here, you'll get it. Good initial progress.

Would the S8+ root work on the note 8? They're so similar that I would think so unless it has something to do with the RAM.
Edit: never mind. I just seen that it was already being discussed.

It should work. We just need to find someone with access to the files. Currently have my Snapdragon Galaxy s8 rooted with sampwn and while 80% limit does suck. The advantages of having root and xposed are well worth it imo.

Sampwn is the easy way of doing things. it required access to a VERY special eng firmware. The access I have currently is part of what they have. Theirs had the su binary preinstalled into system that allowed them to do sampwn. Mine doesnt. But... At this time i literally only need to remount system to read write and we win.
I honestly have not been working on it because I am in FL and we were just hit with a hurricane. I now have my power back though so I am going to start back up on gaining access to system. Once again anyone who can work on exploits please PM me.

First off hope you and your fam are okay. I'm in Houston and just went through the same 2 weeks ago but Florida looks alot worse.... I'm glad we have someone like you looking into this. I followed the gs8 thread daily and I remember reading that they also had trouble getting system to mount but eventually they got it. Maybe we can have one of those devs swing by here and lead you in the right direction. With the announcement of the new iPhone our Note 8 look better then ever lol and root would be a cherry on top. Please keep up the good fight!

I got most of my info from them. Thats how im so far. The way they were able to mount system was because of the Firmware they were using i believe

Oh I see. Awesome! Glad they are helping out. So your trying to get system to mount to install SU binary that came preinstalled with their firmware? Is a firmware like theirs available for our Notes to just get SU and then maybe revert back to a more stable firmware with flash fire?
This is now discontinued since I found out there's a proper TWRP coming to this phone. Leaving the thread & download open in case anyone wants it though, but be warned this is now obsolete and I won't be supporting this project of mine anymore
WHAT WORKS:
Not sure, don't have the phone to test for myself and at this point in time no one has come forward to test yet. When someone does I'll edit this
WHAT DOESNT WORK:
Because this is a dirty port, the recovery will think this is a G7 (if it works at all), when as we all know this is in fact a G7 Power. There is nothing I can really do about this, this is the nature of dirty ports

I cannot provide any source code since this was a dirty port, so no actual source was used. The only things I used to make this were a G7 TWRP image, a G7 Power boot image, and carliv's image kitchen
THANKS TO:
@Alberto97 for the G7 TWRP image I dirty ported from
Carliv for that Carliv Image Kitchen he made, that tool rocks!

Hi mate, firstly thanks for the effort involved, and the time spent.
Ok, so fastboot booting the twrp.img loads the moto boot animation for a second, which is new for me, then (as usually happens) the bad key message and boots as usual to the system.
no work,

Did you flash the dtbo before doing this? I learned from the G7 Play that you need to fastboot flash that partition right before trying to do stuff with the recovery or else it might not work. If booting doesn't work, if you have a stock ROM backup, try flashing it instead

Download stock firmware for your specific variant of the G7 Power, the lolinet site holds stock firmware zips that should have it in there. Google lolinet mirror firmware and you should see what site I'm talking about

Well it was worth a shot I suppose. Spoke to people in a telegram group for this and they're apparently 99% done a proper build of TWRP for this phone. I'd say at this point just wait for that if this isn't working since I don't know what to do to fix mine
Consider the thread closed now

Same, to me this is the better device out of the G line and yet it gets not attention. I've been waiting for more development but nothing's going on
So where is the official TWRP port ? it was said that somebody on telegram was going to release it in a couple of days
BUMP, I wan't buy this phone but without TWRP I need to wait or buy something else... But I never find such good battery as here

There is a beta twrp available from telegram, as mentioned above. In the next couple of days to a week we might see something more official.

Be thankful you have root and not ungrateful about no TWRP release yet. The people that have the Samsung American variants of the SM520 will NEVER get a bootloader unlock, ergo NEVER GETTING AT LEAST ROOT!

Awesome news! I've been stalking g7 power and play.. With Power getting official twrp and today's my day to get a phone I'm going to grab one later on. Happy to get away from my quad core 32 bit Boost G6 play and on to a 64 bit.
