B170 update arrived - Huawei Ascend XT Guides, News, & Discussion

So my friend got an update to the huawei XT. He was already at b160. The new update is labeled as b170 which i think it could gain some hope this phone will get nougat sometime (most likely not). The update only has a device security patch. The security is from june 5 which is pretty old but i guess it's better. If someone else received the update post it here

got the notice for update at noon today - but alas, I have mine rooted so it tried to update, and then reset and is back at 160.
and yes, was really hoping beyond hope for some Nougat...

We need someone then to unroot the phone and update to b170 or at least check how to update to b170

See this post and links in it for how we updated before if the phone was already rooted (and for stock phones that can't OTA due to non-AT&T SIM) :

If anyone is able to capture the B170 update and upload it somewhere I'll try and make a TWRP flashable update
My phone doesn't see any updates yet

Could you briefly describe how to do this please? Can it be done from a phone with a locked bootloader or must the bootloader be unlocked?

you would need Root and a Root explorer - file manager
you would go to settings / Software update / download the update
choose to install it later
then with the root explorer search your phone for an update.zip
I'm not sure where it's stored I'm looking for that information now
after you find the update.zip file copy it to your phones storage and upload it to your google drive (or anywhere I can download it from)
if you know the exact location the update.zip is stored you could possibly adb pull the file without having root
Update should be in /cache/fotapkg/update.zip

iirc, on huawei, it's in a folder on internal storage. shouldn't need root to grab it.

Thanks seems AT&T likes to put them in the path I described though
I'm pretty sure we can edit the updater script to install this from TWRP if someone captures it

working on grabbing it now.
Tried grabbing it - and messed up and got past the waiting part - it tried to update and (of course) failed. I'll give it another shot shortly.

Good deal .. what was the name and path to the update file ?
you could possibly grab it with the TWRP file manager also

When I get it I'll get all that as well.
The ATT update note calls it B160_B170_SMR_100 , I hit continue when I tried to hit "remind me later" - but it redownloaded.
Ghost Commander shows nothing in the /cache - odd - so I don't know where it's actually sticking it. I'm searching for it both under that name above and also as update.zip and anything else I can think of (by date, since it just re-downloaded)
I'll grab and document all the info on what I got where.
File is in /cache/fotapkg/ but is named package_temp.zip
I have it out, xda won't accept the file that large, trying to figure out how to link that file only to my onedrive so you can get it without access to all my other junk (sorry)

OneDrive link to file package_temp.zip should be 102 mb in size.
Got it using Total Commander. It seems to be better at grabbing root files than Ghost was.
Also, one other note - I modified the permissions from root root to everyone so that may need to get changed back (or not - you tell me) to be able to get it to move.

ok my phone doesn't see the file as an update ..where was it located ?

that is the file sent down from ATT to the phone. I have unzipped it and looked at it as well -it's 209MB unzipped. Contains the following files and drawers:
cust.new
cust.patch
cust.transfer
system.new
system.patch
system.transfer
UPDATE.APP
(drawer) META-INF
(drawer) com
(drawer) android
otacert
(drawer) google

update-binary
update-script
blacklist.conf

If you can't get the .zip to open, let me know and I'll stick it on one drive unzipped.

Well I'm sorry to report so far I have had no luck installing this thing
I have tried the dload/update.app using the dialer method and the update flashes but you have no wifi afterwords
and the phone still shows you on B160 (cust not updated / system files not patched)
I also tried with Flashify and Stock recovery and used an edited updater script in TWRP and all fail for one reason or another
Sooo the only way we will get this is if someone that has done the update
uses TWRP and creates a system.img and cust.img and uploads it somewhere for me
So I can build the B170_Full_Update.zip

Any idea how the phone installs this OTA zip file?
Is the updater-script failing because of assert statements for cust and system?
Have you had success patching cust and system using the OTA updater-script/OTA zips for the Huawei Ascend XT before? How did you end up getting the cust and system for your B160 Update zip? Probably from a TWRP of someone's updated B160, which is what we need to do for B170 now, I'm guessing?
Thanks for your efforts on this and answering my questions.

MT2-L03V100R001C00B148 Update

New update today from MT2-L03V100R001C00B126 to MT2-L03V100R001C00B148
Mine fails. Downloads the update, reboots, then fails to write patch. Where is this update stored? I want to try to save it to external SD and update that way. Anyone know?
My Bootloader is unlocked, and phone rooted. Would that prevent the update? Mt friend has same phone and he is rooted, bootloader unlocked, and his took the update just fine. Scratching my head.
Any help?

This is the Error I am getting.....
Look in either /sdcard/HwOUC or /storage/sdcard1/HwOUC. Note that the update_sign.zip is deleted after a failed update. It's not deleted if you try to update from recovery manually and it fails.

I will Download the Update, then tell it to remind me later on the install, then try to locate the update where you said. I feel if I locate and save the update to the external SD, I can get it to take....
Found it under /storage/sdcard1/HwOUC
Tried installing from recovery (stock), "apply update from External Storage" Phone reboots, and same results (See pic). Dam!
The stock recovery can only see the external sdcard so that's fine.

I tried and selected the update_sign.zip but same result
Going to try this
1. Unzip the downloaded update file
2. Place the Update.app from the update_sign.zip inside a folder named “dload” on your SD card root directory
3. Power off and turn on your Ascend Mate by holding volume down + volume up + power button (or do a local update from system update)
Update: When I did this it said it was successful, but according to my build number, it did not.
There is no update. app in my zip. I just booted to stock recovery and chose install zip from internal sd. I selected update_sign.zip and let it do it's thing.

Same results "Assert Failed" after checking patch files...
Frustrating as hell...
Update took on 2 other identical phones but not this one.... Strange
I'm stumped... Guess I will sleep on this until I can figure it out.... Appreciate the input, if anyone has any ideas, chime in.
pls check the system update thread in general section, you have to restore all the to-be-upgrade files to stock. i have posted a system files zip there. (sorry, type in phone, hard to paste link)
--UPDATE
also, if you are missing facebook app, It is in the /cust/normal/us/app location, I just uploaded zip to the one google drive folder with the system zip:

The build.prop error might be because you may have changed it away from stock (for xposed to work for example). It has to be changed for the update to work. You can change it back afterwards.

I have stock recovery, never changed it, the only thing I ever did to the build.prop with root browser and an editor, was add to line items for a keyboard I am using. I may have deleted a few apps (Can't remember) with Chef's App freezer...
Here are the 2 lines I added to build prop

Remove those lines and try the update again. It probably does checks to ensure it is unedited before patching. You can add that back after updating.

Here's the stock build.prop file in a zip (attached). Unzip then copy build.prop to your sd card. Use ES File Explorer in root explorer mode. It goes in /system
For reference, the owner is root and the permissions are rw- r-- r-- (644).

Can't turn off OTA notification

AKA "For the love of all that's good and holy, how do I stop this?"
I've deleted the FOTA folder, and when I get the notification (about 30 times a day), I long press for App Info, but the Show Notifications checkbox is checked and greyed out so I can't uncheck it.
I tried downloading Disable Service from the Play Store, but it reports that SystemUpdateService is disabled, yet I'm still getting this notification.
Clearly, this is quite frustrating. Thanks for any help.
How did you disable it? I have seen people say TI didn't stop it, and the hidden menu didn't do it. Those peeps had to do both.

Did you try disabling ota in the hidden Verizon menu? Dial ##3328873 + send + 000000, uncheck ota, then delete fota files in cache again and rename LGDMSClient.apk and the same for the .odex file to .bak. Renaming seems what's working for most people instead of freezing.
Reboot
That should take care of it for you.

Dang! I was looking for that info last week after I received my G3. I finally just took the OTA from 10B to 11C. Yeah, I can flash back but geez that would have been easier.
Thanks! (I did hit the Thanks Button)
What is that app called that I need to rename?edit: found it
Total noob here but know enough to be dangerous. I'm rooted and unlocked and was able to turn off OTAs this way. Question I have is whether there are simple and straightforward instructions on downloading and installing the lastest KDZ updates available. I did download 11C (and decompressed with LG Firmware Extract for Win) but I'm lost as to the proper steps to take from here to make sure I don't brick my precious Any resources would be much appreciated!

The IMG files are not in the update zip. They are somewhere in that ota incoming thread. I can post the links later if you can't find them. I'm hosting the system. IMG and have the modem.img, not sure if I have the boot, probably.

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

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? ?

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.

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:

July OTA for Verizon HTC 10

I have uploaded the OTApkg from my Verizon 10 downloaded 7/6/17. I have not been able to run it on my 10 because of customization issues.
I have also changed the suffix of the filename to "zip" so it could be uploaded. You may want to rename it before manipulating it. The default name is "OTApkg"
You can download it here and I welcome someone else's better ability to parse the file contents.
MD5 is: e684728237328c1a59c8c53ab2308467
I've now extracted the firmware.zip and created two update.zips, one without boot (but stock recovery) and one without both boot and recovery images. Someone reported to me that flashing the boot.img could be problematic -- I do not know the particulars, just reporting what I heard. I have not flashed these files, so you're on your own. If there are reports of problems, I'll pull the files.
2.41.605.20 firmware update (no boot) md5: 13b3461cbe2e1f9a8098d83115f501c8
2.41 605.20 firmware update (no boot; no recovery) md5: 97c1df3e7cbc9583b9916b4e1768f245

(Last OTA I actually ended up flashing with htc_fastboot partition-by-partition in download mode.)

I renamed mine also and was able to extract the contents. I have rezipped the files (Files only, not flashable) here is anyone wants them. Strange, 2gb ota but contents are 103mb. I did not install tho, just ran the update to pull the updated system img.

NVM. Reread your post. Do you think the firmware would be flashable if renamed 2PS6IMG.zip?

Thanks, , my file may have been corrupted. Going to upload a file I could open on my workstation instead and re-link.
Original upload was corrupted; I've uploaded corrected file and added md5.
Added two firmware only update files, one without boot and one without boot or recovery.

Can I now flash Maximum or Lee-Droid Oreo roms without having to do anything other than installing twrp first? That is correct isn't it?

I would go by the OP's in each of those ROM threads, but presumably you are now on Oreo firmware, so I don't see why not.

Android Oreo updates and rollback guide

This will be basically the copy of this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/downgrade-p10-plus-oreo-to-nougat-t3724382
But it seems to me that I am not the only one who didn't find it first, so I post it here
I am not responsible if you brick your device, or just damage it!
And all credit goes to @mankindtw and @NoMercyWWE
Always make a backup of your important data, and if you rollback, you need to make a factory reset!
I only tested it with L09, but should work with L29 as well
First of all, you need a P10
2. It only works with oreo firmwares
3. Download the three zip files that are required for update, these are:
update.zip
update_data_public.zip
update_all_hw.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3/b. You can download them with Firmware Finder, or just search on xda. If you want to make a rollback to Nougat, you need rollback firmwares!
3/c. update_data_public and update_all_hw comes with a slightly different name, but rename both files to these names, otherwise the update will fail!
4. Download HWOTA8 from this topic
5. Put the three update files in HWOTA8 dir
5/b. If you want to rollback, but your files in the repack folder, and run repack.bat
6. Create a new folder on your EXTERNAL sd, named HWOTA8
7. Put your three files in it, plus copy MHA_RECOVERY8_NoCheck.img, and hwota8_update.zip
8. Now install P10 Plus twrp_oreo.img, if you havent't yet:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_oreo.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
credit to @OldDroid
9. Reboot into recovery, install hwota8_update.zip it replaces your recovery with the Mate 9 one, reboots and updates
10. Done! If you downgraded, or just encounter any problems, go back in recovery, and make a factory reset!
Can I do this without an sdcard?

I think it is possible, but you need to rewrite hwota8_update.zip, since the links there are pointing to the external sd. But I dont know what you need to write there instead
Not sure if I did this right but now my phone shows---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(02ZP)
I had showing before---> Build number System 8.0.0.046(01BN)
I don't seem to have it right still
I also have somethong like System 8.0.0.046(02BQ) but .321(C10) installed. And there were some visible updates from the C900log Oreo, eg auto shazam disappeared from the status bar.
It's frustrating lol...my old Nexus 5 was so easy compared to this device...I know I updated with something cuz I also see January 1st security patch and other little differences...everything seems to work ok but still got no themes though...how do we get it right?

Here he says that you need to install su, and rename three directories, but for me themes are working even without this. As soon as I try it, these steps will be added to the tutorial though.
EDIT: I followed the steps and renamed the directories, but there was no change anywhere.
Yes just tried it myself too and no change...still no themes...had an extra folder in there on mine named "optus"...not sure but the twrp and rooting work awesome but wasn't able to make a nandroid backup to my external storage...it failed
Good day,
with what firmware (please complete naimeninie) you rolled back and what was installed by this method?

Without a SD card it is impossible, with firmware via TWRP, internal memory can be reset and then the firmware will not go to the end. Therefore, the programs are located on the SD.

If this question is for me, I did not test the rollback (I am fine with Oreo), but I would use C432B180. You can check the description of an update in FF to see if it's a rollback one.

Hey, there are many ways of doing it i would recommend https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3691013

Perfect! I applied the update as described in the OP, then did a factory reset and relocked the bootloader (which did another factory reset). Now, at least I can't tell anymore that the phone has been unlocked and rooted...
