Z981 for T-Mobile has a new update and it seems to fix some screen tearing issues. Update seems to add some stability too.
Any one else running this update?
Thoughts?
Just found out that you can unlock the bootloader with this update by tapping the build number 3 times.
Then developer options can be enabled.
Then OEM unlocking can be enabled.
What does this do for us guys?
It updated for me this morning, and I have yet to see much of a difference. Then again, I've been doing housework all day and haven't messed with the phone today.
Did some looking, the update was just the November security patch.
The bootloader unlock option was there before the recent update. You need to find the tmo folks on tinder and snuggle with them to get those tools to actually use that option.
Been 24hrs since I updated and have hammered device with no sight of the "Tetris stack" glitches. So on top of the security patch there must've been a kernel / graphic driver update.
good day.
The Metro variant just got an update too. Added a few features and included a few bug fixes. Haven't had time to really test drive it but it seems to be stabler, no screen bugs or data drops yet.
Edit: The Metro update also let us get into recovery now but nobody's had time to play with it much yet. So far we've got recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode, I think.

Yes the metro update actually fix my screen flicker. I tested minecraft that has screen flicker many many times while playing it. After the update, I played it again and no flickers so I am really happy about it.
AS for recovery, FTM mode, and safe mode - I had all those even before the update, actually.

Yeah, sorry about that, hope I didn't get anyone's hopes up. I was reporting what someone else had said they noticed but it was the same stuff we'd had access to before.
Hi does anyone has the T-Mobile Update.zip?
For some reason I haven't received the update where I am right now for my T-Mobile variant. Can anyone upload the update.zip and share it? I look everywhere I could and people have only uploaded the MetroPCS versions. This is the version I need TMO_Z981V1.0.0B07 I'm already on the previous one. Thanks ?

The Metro update was uploaded there but I don't think anyone has uploaded the T-Mobile update. I think they both got pulled temporarily because while some phones with issues were working better, some other phones without issues were doing worse after updating.

Yes, that's what I thought after I read in one thread that MetroPCS pulled the update. Waiting a bit doesn't kills? Feels great to be back in XDA again. I usually use XDA for learning and reference, I only have a couple of post but been around for awhile.
My z981's mfg date was October 2016, T-Mobile variant, I picked it up December 10th, when I realised my Nexus 5 was unsalvageable. I assume the update was pulled, as I am on 0B04, one page on T-Mobile's site says the update was set for a staged release between the 21st of November through the 19th of December, another page doesn't even show this phone amongst their active or testing updates..
If I receive an update notification, I'll pull the file, but I probably won't flash it myself.

I just went into the settings and found the software update and bam there it was. It's a really stable update. And after disabling every app I could the phone runs like a dream.
Anyone try charging this phone with a Qualcomm Quick charger 3.0?

Nice. The update never showed up on my device. I may reset it just to see, but I'm not concerned. I replaced the launcher from the start, disabled a couple of apps, but the phone works well enough for me as is. I mostly read and listen to music, so nothing demanding.
Still, a nougat update with an unlocked bootloader/fastboot would be a great gift from ZTE lol.
[edit] I backed up my music and files, and reset the phone, still no update. I won't worry about it 'till people start receiving the 'next' update, or root is achieved and someone makes a custom kernel/rom.

I don't personally own one, the default charger works well enough for me so far, though the phone supposedly charges significantly faster while off. I haven't tested this myself, but if it turns out to be true, I'd assume the kernel limits charging, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Can anyone load the update for me to download I cannot get my phone to update, doesn't show the option. TMO_Z981V1.0.0B07 is what I need

If I ever receive the update I'll pull it from the device and upload it to mega or Google drive. Not holding my breath, since it was probably put on hold for causing issues on some devices.
I shall greatly appreciate it if you can do it or anyone that updates and has the time to load it.
I'm on AT&T in the US and just got the notification this morning for my Mate 10 Pro. Update from 8.0.0.112 to 8.0.0.119 (C567). First update since April. Has anyone installed it yet? Any issues?
I havent received it yet.
This is in the ROM's forum. Sounds like the update is creating camera issues.

Yes. This update breaks night shot and lights trail mode. Also, there is no face unlock. Is there a way to rollback the firmware?
Hope Huawei will release the patch to fix this.

In the us on ATT with the same model as well but have not received the update yet. Maybe a good thing
I'm going to hold off on updating then, until more people report in on it's effects .
I got the update this morning and it broke my camera. Night mode does not work at all and the screen is unresponsive. I tried to do a reboot and still night mode didn't work.

WOW so the screen in the Camera app is unresponsive, or the screen in general? I'm glad I didn't do this update yet!
So this means that Huawei IS supporting US phone with updates! A very good sign.

At last , Huawei get us an update, and all is bad jajaja ???????
I am on the same model and AT&T haven't received any update yet. I think they might have stopped the updates after issues being reported.

I talked with customer care. They told me that they have pulled back the update after knowing the issues. They will be releasing another update to fix the issue in near future. Could be 1-2 weeks/months/years.

I can still see the update, but it's no longer notifying me and asking to implement it. I assume it will be replaced by the new one when they put it out.
Man, that sucks...and no face unlock to boot? Way to go Huewai.
Well, you're all in a good spot, for some reason I cannot update my device, I'm stuck on 8.0.065, and not being able to update.
Hi everyone!
This morning, Aug.1, I received a notification that 8.0.0.119 update is available for Mate 10 PRO (c567).
This means Huawei either didn't pull the faulty update, or they already fixed it. Unfortunately, the update notes say nothing about this.
Having huge doubts whether I should install it and messaged Huawei support to get more info.

We will get JoyUi 12.5 in december according to BS facebook page but do not expect that you will be able to root or modify this device because there is no kernel source out so modding and rooting is pretty close to impossible.

Literally bricked my device. The radio won't connect to mobile network. It freaks out and starts rebooting and bootlooping until it says data is corrupt. Even after factory reset, same results. And I'm a dumba$s and side loaded the ota with a locked bootloader (I'm on TMobile). So I can't side load any other ota bc they're older than this developer image. What a nightmare
Flashed it like 3 hours ago, everything seems normal.
TBH I can barely notice any change between this, 12L and 12, looks all the same to me lol
interesting
Very interesting. 8 know 12 L is for.foldables and tablets but should I put it on my pixel 6? Is there any advantages over 12?
my pixel 6 works better with 12L , that's why I haven't installed 13 yet
The Samsung browser app was closing when my wifi disconnected. In the settings wifi area it said ap was full that's strange. I clicked connect again and it connected and Sammy browser stopped closing and loaded my link. Also xda app takes 4 seconds for the chat box to open. I have only been using a 13 for the day on my pixel 6. Speed feels the same just quick as usual with everything else but xdas chat box

I did too but i knew it wasn't going to work, but had nothing to lose. Can't use the factory image either. I knew if something like this happened there was no way to fix it with a locked bootloader until the next update. So it is on me, never had this happen but luck finally ran out on me this time. Will just have to wait for a bug fix update or DP2.
LOL I have been doing this long enough to remember when unlocking the bootloader was a warranty violation.
