Had some chat with ZTE and according to them a new update for the A2017G is in a testphase. Not sure though when it will be released and no specific details about the content of the update.
About the upgrade to android O(reo) : "not yet decided it will be (ever) developed for this device"
For those who want to see Jesus in person :angel:
Do you have screenshots of this chat?
Any more info on this?

Not more than I already mentioned.
No details of new features or improvements known.
No release date known.
Six days ago ZTE already posted in the German forum about the update beiing in testing phase.
The only known improvements are about vodafone LTE, wlan and the new security patch which will be regularly updated in the future

Guys
Any news regarding the latest HTC ROM?
- JoKer
every day I check this forum hoping for that "New TyTN ROM posted!" thread....
Well Ive tried the "supposed" updated ROM found in the wiki.....from what ive seen it is merely an update to the extended rom. Quoting from a reply i got from HTC:
Hi (REMOVED),
Thank you for your email.
As yet we have received no indication from HQ in Taiwan as to when an improved and updated ROM will be released. We chase them on almost a daily basis, but sadly as yet they have not been forthcoming with any information other than "it is on its way".
I realise that this answer is neither here nor there, but at the moment this is all we have!
We fully expect our new ROM build to address may of the technical bugs our "1.0" build has.
Keep you eye on both out HTCEurope.com website, and our main HTC.com website for updates.
Yours sincerely
(REMOVED)

I wouldnt be surprised if HTC are attempting to address the ATI driver problems?! Currently im using the imate ROM until this update is available.
The question I have is this: Where will HTC post the update.. Will it be on this site?
http://www.europe.htc.com/support/support.html?device=htctytn
Sorry to ask this question (probably been beat to death) but is there a Radio ONLY update that I could load? I have noticed that the different version of the Radio ROM between the version that I have and the update that's on Wiki. Am I dellusional about this? Personally I like the ROM that came with it but I would like a radio update if avail.
Thanks for any insight.

I guess it's time to putt Buzz and the gang to work!
you can check here, this is the latest firmware, on asus global server
from 15th december 2015.
you can install with new install with twrp or other...
I haven't updated that yet, but according from their own forums it is still 5.0.
It has better memory management ( I believe they updated the memory management tool from boost master to house keeper)
--- that used to be from the zenfone 2 series but now its on the padfone now. (Looks like a step closer to MM)
Gps is able to lock even quicker than before.
Sound quality is also better.
I will update it pretty soon, want to see some problems that arise from this update.
Can't wait for M on this device, but hopefully asus could continue support for this device for the next version of android as Im hoping to have vulcan support on this baby. (Its either that or Cm 14 when it comes out)
Edit:
Just updated this device, supersu was lost but reflashed supersu and works fine.
Performance seems pretty great (not noticing a difference), and memory management is just a bit better.

Doubt it'll be updated past MM. ASUS already mentioned that a Padfone S2 will be coming out sometime in 2016.

Agreed, I think the only reason we are seeing an update this late its product cycle is because they haven't released this new one yet.

Huh, my security patch is still December 2015, hope I don't have to wipe and reflash...
I didn't update the yet because I hadn't had enough time to do so.
If it doesn't change I wouldn't worry, i could be wrong it was only just a guess
hello, my name's Andy.
I'm a fellow Asus padfone user. Recently I've post something in Q&A forum about storage issue.
If not too much trouble, could anyone please look at it. Thank you very much...
Hi,
It's 2nd quarter 2016, is somebody got Android M update? I think based on the people who use Padfone S/X they will get android M update on Q2 2016 around April-June. is anyone have updated information?
​
Some reviewers had posted that the January security update was pushed prior to release, but I've had my 5X running since Tuesday and its still on the December patch.
I made sure to manually check for updates just in case and the phone didn't see anything. I'm connected to both data and wi-fi so I'm not sure what is up.
Has anyone received it other than pre-release folks?

Honor has a BetaClub program that lets users test a new software build before it gets released to everyone. The update with the January Android security patches should be out soon.

See my thread here >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-kiw-l24-to-stock-t3318268
Bit of a newbie here, came across this forum when looking at new phones and was quite excited by the idea of being able to play with all that was available in the phone.
So I went and bought a 5x have got my unlock code but have not unlocked it just yet, I am UK based and so have the L21 and just wanted to check that the general consensus is to leave the thing untouched (except for a new launcher and a few apps installed) until I have received or somehow updated to the B140 update.
I couldn't work out in the other thread about returning to stock if the B140 for the Kiwi 21 had actually been released yet, couldn't find any downloads on the Huawei site for the UK.

I'm not sure how I could be more clear that the B140 update is for the L24 only
I just uploaded the latest OTA B140 for the KIW-L24 here >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759882720
KIW-L21 Users See post 8 for the files you need (But note the OTA is only for the L24)

That's what I thought thanks for confirming. I will wait till my phone updates before I try debloating scripts etc...

Thought i want to give some additional info (if not known already) reagrding the N update coming for the A2017 models.
Today i had some FB conversation with ZTE Mobile Germany to ask some definitve answers for this update to come.
This is what they gave me :
1. When : end of january 2017
2. Which types : all of the types/models get a specific update
3. OTA or SD ? : will be an SD card update (so happy ROOTing guys, because imo the OTA updates are no longer coming after this upgrade to N)
4. Bootloader unlocked : NO (perhaps the advice to unlock it before the N update to be sure you have it unlocked)
5. Root option available in settings : NO
6. test version or the real stuff : REAL STUFF
7. DayDream supported : coming soon (https://vr.google.com/daydream/phones/)
Good news after all i think. Let's wait a little bit longer :cyclops:
@rikin93 can you confirm all of that information ? Especially about bootloader unlock ?
Here is the message
cheers !
ps : so all models get a seperate N - update
@raystef66 i believe you but @rikin93 is our ZTE Europe insider and few weeks ago he said that he got beta Europe unlocker so I wish to hear his position about your statement.

No problem mate I have seen he has written that before.
Hope there is one, otherwise it would be best to unlock before...if this news above is correct.
Sure thing ! We just need to wait - as always.

If Daydream is not included in the first Nougat version, doesn't that mean that there will be an OTA update to add it in later?

Will be supported in first release IMO and if not yet in the first release, it always will be possible to update it via SD when they update a new one. I don't see any problem in that matter.

For simplicity sake, I hope they do get rid of OTA. I think the SD card route would be better, and it allows people to update at their own leisure without nag.

Well we certainly see that here in the forums. If this is true, it will be good for them to learn.
I dont know what version the root and bootloader unlock is coming on so i will find out ASAP.
However, Nougat should be coming by the end of this month and a B10 update end of this week/next week.
And yes i was previously on a B03 bootloader unlock/root given to me by ZTE to test out and was working fine. My camera broke so i had to get replacement phone so i am off root for now till they release the official one so dont worry guys i will keep bugging them for information!
An SD update is not difficult, just move the update.zip file to root directory of sd card and then go into Settings->Update and the update will be listed there and is straightforward from then on.
B10 is indeed scheduled coming week.
Just got the phone
So, on yours opnion should I unlock BL/Root/xposed right now? Since it`ll be an SD update??
just got my A7 and started reading only today bout unlocking BL/rooting (done this in all my old phones before).
Thanks!

Of course they would all need a separate update -- the modems would all be different. What would be more important would be that some (U and G and maybe Chinese) are based on the same codebase, rather than separate ones. Then the updates would roll out with similar features in a similar time frame.

what? ok it's true most of axon 7 owners are power users but it's not how it should be done at all... OTA is the easiest way to notify your clients of your work, general and security improvements, you don't want them to bother on manually installing updates, you try to make sure everyone is up to date.
If this is true, I hope they mean for the time being, before rolling the update to everyone after through OTA. I don't read german so I can't really know if there are subtleties involved in the syntax.
By the way, weren't there a kind of community forum for european/german model through which we could communicate with the devs in english? or by email?

Of course they would upload different versions due to different modems etc.
I only stated this BECAUSE there were some rumors on other forums that there would be just one for all. Just wanted to make things clear mate

My comment was in the context of general public. There are far more axon 7 in the hands of layfolk than xda users. An ota is the simplest way to push an update through. While the steps are simple, i'm confident people will find ways to screw up copying a file to the sd card.

They have also said end of January / Early February
So i'm forced to buy an SD card to keep my phone up to date? That's not the way a company should handle their customers.
It seams that 7.1.1 verison has been leaked before the official OTA.
In order to update you need to have 7.0 , download and update from : http://www.ztemobile.de/support/downloads/?product_id=2100#
After the 7.0 update download and install: http://penlane.me/fileserver/uploads/leaked_711_a2017g.zip
It has March Google security Patch!
Thanks to "matiuever" for his contribution.
I don't have A2017G so I cannot test.

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but this is not the anticipated 7.1.1 OTA, but the first (and only) leaked beta.
It has been out for a while.
As far as I know V1.2.B01 means Beta.
You can compare it with the 2 weeks old Rom.
But I will download it anyway and do a SHA1 check.
I attached a picture
EDIT
Both files have the same SHA256
61EE66C9041611DF5852EC799DC706865405732B7999EF29D001AC8B42130FB2
Thread should be closed!
Every ROM has b in its number
So now the question comes is this beta or the official release leaked early??
Beta
Edit - sorry, it's the same leak they posted a week ago or more, but they removed the link
Enough dupicate info already - closed.
