Small bugs and tweaks makes it fee morel smooth.
Fix for 256Gb SD cards.
1. Before you perform this update, please update to ZTE A2017GV1.0.0B10 first.
2. This update is only available for users in Australia. Users in other countries shall be individually responsible for update risks.
3. It is strongly recommended to back up your data in advance because this is a critical update.
4. It may take longer than usual to restart your phone right after updating.
5. Some third-party apps have adapted to Android 7.1. If a third-party app does not work properly, please uninstall it and then download the latest version.
6. If you want to revert from the latest version to an earlier version, you may download the package to your SD card from official website. Reverting to an earlier version will erase all data, please back up data before you

Thank you for your post but the B4 is already posted in the other sections of axon 7 forums.
Furthermore this is the wrong thread here.

[Q] Unable to update the new OTA released a week + ago?

Hi,
I have the BCOKAS prime model, a WW model, purchased from Australia.
Currently at Thailand and have been for the past 2 Weeks and I'm struggling to update to the OTA which was released a week+ ago!
Currently on the .11 version.
When I update, this is what happens....
Any kind of tips or help would be great.
Cheers
let me know if you ever find an answer to this problem

Are you experiencing the same issue too?
yes anytime i try to update or any method of installing cwm gives me the same picture although i am on .13
Search works really well when you have issues
I have to say If I had a dollar for every time I see update issues like these I would be RICH!!!!! Use the XDA search feature. Its a new technology that allows you to pull data from many other users that have had these type of issues.
OK RANT OVER.
Here is cause #1 (maybe not for all of you) but for 90% of the users that have seen this issue this will happen when you root your device and change any system files, uninstall asus apps and so forth.
Cause #2: You unlocked your bootloader
To Resolve Cause #1: Restore you system files and apps that were changed or removed.
1. For users that backed them up just restore them
2. For users that deleted its a little more difficult:
- Goto Asus's website and download the same version upgrade file that you are running.
- Put the file on your micro SD card (unzipped of course)
- Reboot your device
- Update (if on the root of your SD card correctly) will be detected.
- Let it run and reboot.
- Once done you will be restored and can take further OTA updates.
To Resolve Cause #2: Wait for developers to create roms with the current update.

Z4 RK3368 Android LP5.1/MM6 Octa Core 64bit 2/16gb TV Box

Hey Guys,
I have a couple questions about this android box I purchased that's had me somewhat puzzled.
I have been an avid android user over the past many years. I am familiar with flashing tons of roms to all the phones I have had. Except my s6, it just sucks for roms. Anyways I have purchased the android box in this link (can't post links this new) I can't seem to fine a manufacturer website, I've Google a million things about the box and searched but I can't find anything. even in the instruction book there's no website or anything.
basically I'm looking to figure out how to at least update this box. there's no option in about device. also I don't like how the flash drive on the device is split into nand flash and regular storage. I would like to merge them all into one. I am also looking for custom roms that might enable me to achieve that, however nowhere I look has this box in their forums or anywhere. maybe it's a cloned box? there are other boxes that have the exact same components (or so they say) with custom firmware, however I don't want to chance it and rich bricking this device.
anyone that can offer any help or lead me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. thank you in advance!

I just picked up one of these about a week ago and found instructions to install TWRP and update SuperSU. The box had 'root' out of the box but it was some specialized root based on an old version of SuperSU (1.93 I believe).
I have successfully installed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and updated to SuperSU 2.46.
Since this is just an android tablet essentially, does anyone know if you can flash these ROMs through TWRP?
Not to my knowledge, just use above tool. It will go alive once you are in bootloader with usb otg cable connected to win (of course with driver pack etc. installed). Titanium or else can do that, instead of trying to press reset button while powering on. Of course recovery will go back to default.

Are you running liamstears custom ROM or the 12/22 factory firmware?
The split internal storage is something I would like to do without, but I was wondering if it was changed on the 12/22 factory firmware?
12/22 firmware. Fast and stable.
Havent tried liamstears yet. Feedback if you do please.
awesome thanks! thats what I suspected when I was going through the firmwares for these devices. I just wasn't sure if the z4 rk3368 device would work on this one. I've seen a few brands with z4 and as I know with phones.. wrong brand and you're bricked lol. anyways.. I ended up buying a tronsmart vega s95 telos.. but it didn't come rooted. so I rooted it and now I'm getting play services force close and all sorts of bugs and errors.. maybe I'll just keep the z4. it seems to work better.
what link did you follow to get twrp installed?? same thing I'm guessing, punch z4 twrp in google and eventually come upon the right place.
12/22 factory firmware? mines stuck at Nov 10 I think.. it won't let me update using the rk settings app.. which is why I was fed up with it in the first place lol.
12/22 firmware. Unified 16gb App storage. More available with microsd card. Fully functional Kodi with channels, etc. 4k HEVC x265 movies. Youtube 1080p.
Easiest method to update rom is to put extracted update.img from zip file
http://chinagadgetsreviews.blogspot.ro/2016/01/download-latest-android-lollipop-511.html?m=1
on a sdcard / usb and boot. After about a minute into the Android desktop, system will ask for update prompt. Only applicable to system still with default recovery.
If you have some stability issues or with different recovery, you can backup your apps / data with Titanium etc. and then use above Factory tool restore new rom.
These roms usually come with their own recovery, but some modded ones with TWRP/full root, supersu and all. But you dont really need them.
thanks a lot man! I'm downloading right now and will test it on my box tomorrow after work!
I've tried 100 times and it just keeps saying failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (no such device)
I'm using my USB flash drive.
this is becomming a huge pain in the just to update I'm starting to think why this company can make these products and not have any support or anything for it . and that flash tool is in mandarin and I can't even figure out how to work that. I put in the update.img and press go.. but whenever I try to boot to download mode like you mentioned in one of the posts it just turns off the box.. this thing is literally a piece of junk. and so is this tronsmart vega s95.. same thing. it's extremely frustrating. whoever developed this z4 box did a really chappy job on the firmware.. and I do not recommend it to anyone..
If you had gone through the instructions pdf, it clearly shows how to change into English by pressing the World icon. Remember in bootloader mode the tv screen would be black, if you are using the tool. The big red button will turn into green to show readiness.
For automatic update you dont even have to go into recovery as seen in attached image. Easiest.
Hi Roland,
love to see that there are already XDA-members looking at the Z4 TV box. I have just ordered one and hope to get it within a few weeks. Just some dumb questions, hoping you can provide me with some information:
- I see that there are several 'versions' of the Z4: for instance Acemax, but I have ordered the Andoer. Are those just different manufacturers?
- Are there any differences in model/content (installed app's) per manufacturer?
- If my Andoer turned out to have an older firmware than the 22/12, could I still use the Acemax 22/12 firmware you refered to in your link?
- Kodi will be preinstalled, I saw. I do not know what version of Kodi that will be, but can it just be updated to the most recent version in the Google Play Store?
- I do not know what other apps are installed, but is it possible to de-install apps you do not need, or are they part of the firmware and impossible to delete
I know, part of the answers I surely will discover once I got the Z4, but I just can't wait to start experimenting, even it is only in my mind
Thanks in advance!
Jos
hi Roland
I tried that batch tool first which is the one I couldn't change languages in lol. but the other tool with the red button I changed into English. however I did not know that it would remain blank when in download mode. I will have to give it one more go tonight with it. I figured that I loaded it into bootloader and the z4 box light turned red so I thought it was off and didn't load to bootloader.
I also did the USB update and it would just fail on me every time I used it. the update prompt did come up and I pressed install. perhaps I need to check if USB debugging is on. I think it is but it wouldn't hurt to check. but I think I will have to go through the factory tool to update way for sure.
thanks for your help roland, I will write back after I give it another go tonight!
i can't find the 22/12 update ! can anybody share the link direct to firmware ?
@DriftJos
l have got an Andoer too. Most of these brands come from the same hardware factory and thus have the same specs/apps.
Yes you will use the same firmware https://mega.nz/#!JBBXgDgC!VSra8Hc6KR77Pvdw67eDpjeT_ku-TXdYgYaInSAfyvU (direct link @prisim) or several user dev roms. Unified 16gb app storage etc and the works.
You can uninstall bundled Kodi (by Titanium free etc.) by official Kodi Jarvis 16.0 beta 5 & such with pass-through support test builds @ http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=252852
Again you will be able to uninstall useless apps directly or through Titanium.

@mikekuel25
Always mention the firmware version you are having and which recovery? The automatic update should work if you still have the factory recovery.
Check the FactoryTool process in attached images.
I'm trying to flash the firmware that I downloaded from that China gadgets site that was mentioned on this thread. I think it's the stock 12/22 for the device. and I have stock recovery.
I extracted the update.exe file and saved it to my USB drive plugged it in and restarted. relieved the update prompt. chose install update and it rebooted into recovery and tried to apply the update but it fails. I'm not ready to give up yet with this device lol. it's just another platform I have to learn. it took me a bit with smartphones to figure it out back in the day.. perhaps it's the same thing now..
and I'm updated to 12/22.. awesome. those pictures really helped me man thanks.
now as for installing twrp and all that. you mentioned that it's not really needed? I'm assuming I can flash any rom given they are in .img format using factory tool. however the benefit of twrp would be an easier interface for creating nandroid backups and clearing cache/factory reset. perhaps I will install it. i might give leamstears rom a try. I will let you know how it is if I do.
thanks again!
so I updated to the new 12/22.. everything works fine except with Google play store.. I keep getting a can't retrieve source error with everything I try to download. I've refreshed and factory reset the firmware 5 times now and kept trying.
so I got fed up with the stock so I tried leamstears rom and it works great.. except sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with this box. even on stock firmware from the box I've been having issues with unresponsive freezing.
what do you think of the nvidia shield?

The PlayStore error you were seeing is because the 12/22 firmware comes with a *very* old version (5.2.x). The PlayStore will eventually update everything to the latest version by itself but if you don't want to wait, go over to apkmirror.com and download PlayStore 6.0.5 and install it manually. Once you do, it should also update the Play Services to 8.4.x and your should be good to go. I had this issue as well but I had seen it before and knew I needed to update.
So far the 12/22 version has been great, and having the unified internal storage is a huge plus.
If you feel so inclined, knowing that some of the custom builds of Kodi take up a large amount of space... there is this trick that was introduced in Helix:
http://kodi.wiki/view/HOW-TO:Change data location for Android
This will allow you to have only the Kodi app on internal storage (~125 MB) and any data from addons/programs etc. in another location (such as an external SD).
I often
1. Install Kodi on internal storage
2. Zip up the contents of org.xbmc.com directory
3. Copy it to external storage
4. Unzip it in /external_sd/kodi_data
5. Create the xbmc_env.properties file that references my Kodi data location.
6. Delete the contents of /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.com/
Voila! You have freed up internal storage.... You can also persist a Kodi setup this way or run multiple custom installs. If you re-image your media box, you can re-install Kodi and as long as the xbmc_env.properties points to your external_sd with your Kodi data, it will start right up back into your setup... :good:

[FIX][TRUSTED FACE] Face_Unlock on Elephone P9000 Stock Rom Nougat 7.0

Hello guys,
This is my first post as a suggestion for solving a poblem as well as exposure of a subject.
Ok let's go
First, do it for your own risk, and not penalize me if something goes wrong, ok?
The rom that I am using is the Android 7.0 Elephone_P9000_20170419 Nougat, which you can download on the site needrom.com (probably also work with rom Elephone_P9000_20170418, downloaded from the official site elephone, but had no chance to test).
It is mandatory that you have installed TWRP Recovery, it is your only means of security in case something wrong happens. Always make security backups. (I'll post one soon, how to easily install from the Flash Tool).
Download the file through the link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=23253 faceunlock_lollipop5.1_20150402.zip
INSTALLATION
1. Place the file on the SD card, or on the internal memory of the phone;
2. Boot at the Recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-elephone-p9000-t3426678 TWRP;
3. Install the zip file;
4. Reboot your phone;
Process terminated, your trusted app face has been installed.
https://goo.gl/photos/N4y8j4HEc135xq5U6
RECOMMENDATIONS
The file loads the old (Marshmellow) version of the application, but it is fully functional; the recent version of the app is not working, so it is not recommended that you manually update this file.
Always remember to make a backup of security.
I still have other things to publish, such as:
- Fully functional Google apps and Pixel Launcher (official) with the opportunity to recover backup through the Google account, which is not possible with only the official rom version of the P9000 Elephone. I have tested this rom for two weeks, and will post soon;
- A very beautiful and functional thema (for me the best thema)... I'll make a surprise ;-P
I hope you like it
THANKS
@asdfasdfvful follows link from the original post;
@Jonny and yours fully functional non official TWRP, thank you so much man;

A2017GV1.2.0B12 OTA out apparently

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:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Axon7/comments/9b02bm/a2017gv120b12_released_ota_today/
EDIT:
B12 Spain can be found here:

Both are 2.78GB and uploaded on the same day. The names match too.
I also get the update via OTA. Pls. Check the german website.

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?
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.

Open market A2017G update doesn't matter which country, same file. It's open market after all
Downloading.
its no oreo build,right?
1.2.0 is Nougat.
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!
If someone needs the Bootstack and Stocksystem I'll upload them....

Hi everyone I manually upgraded with the file
UL-I002D-WW-30.40.30.93-user.zip downloaded from the ASUS server (see some posts above) in my ASUS ZENFONE 7PRO Italian version and everything went smoothly.
No data loss
Call recording remains as effective as on Android 10
Seems slightly faster
To perform the manual upgrade I proceeded in this way:
Downloaded the file from the ASUS server (see some posts above)
Copied the file in the main directory of the phone (No in the SD card)
Turn off the phone
Restarted the phone a notification will inform you that there is the file for the upgrade
Clicked on the notification and the rest happens automatically.
Remember to have the phone over 50% charged, if the procedure fails halfway through, it is painful.
Happy Easter everyone
Greetings from a new user of ASUS ZS671KS.
Just updated to Android 11 manually, so far everything seems to be OK. I had an issue with location not fixing on non-GPS satellites (posted the details here in the GPSTest Google group), and the update has resolved it for me. If you don't have this issue, you may want to wait until the update is officially rolled out in your region though, I'm sure it will be available soon. If you still want to try the manual update process, I suggest you do a full local backup to the microSD card before updating, just in case if you have to downgrade later (since it will wipe all your data).
The new full-OTA is here:

Nice! I've downloaded it but how do we install the zip? Can't find any menu to install zips. Is there some kind of 3rd party software to be used for this, like LG has it's LGUP?
