A2017G - Nougat B05 is out (Spain) - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

For those who are interested : A2017G V1.2.0B05
( link Spain : http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=1170789A90BA42E18B3364B80C7F5A26 )

Like someone posted, Poland is getting the B05 too. Perhaps other countries will follow.
AFAIK : ZTE Germany mentioned a new security patch ( also future new security patches would be implemented), also the problem which was on Vodafone LTE is probably confirmed to be gone (german users could confirm this here when tested)
Will upload it to the DownloadCenter ( AndroidFileHost )
Perhaps @tron1 can make a flashable zip

Interesting.
I'm curious what ZTE bring to this update.

Is it a full rom or an incremental update?

A full ROM ( a little bigger than the B04 ) - i'm uploading it to my AFH because ZTE server is sloooooooowwww
Imo, stock users could update this B05 on any G-version without a problem (rename to update.zip...you know by now....)
No changelog provided ( AFAIK )

---

Just updated.
Well the only very visible change compared to B04 is the upgrade of Google security patches to 1st of June.

Post back if you see anything new please.

I've installed it now and done a full reset. I'm really hoping battery life will be like B02 (7.1.1). With B04, battery life took a serious hit for me, even after resets.
I'm a bit disappointed that MiFavor 5.0 was not included. Hopefully it'll come soon.
It is quite snappy, but I'm not sure that it is more so than B04. I'm wondering if the finger print sensor is working a bit better or not. Could just be my imagination. Time will tell.
I'll report back if I notice anything special.

There are no official changelog?

---

I think this is a very good update. Cell reception has improved a lot. Phone feels and is much snappier. I've taken couple of shots with the camera and focusing is better and faster.

Probably better if you just force the update yourself. OTA updates have been pretty hit and miss for a while now.

I too asked tron1 for TWRP flashable B05 version without answer yet (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72851004&postcount=95).
Since you have Android file host account, may I suggest you to build them by yourself and put them in your download center ?
Following is the procedure I found to build TWRP flashable version from full ROM ("update.zip") :
full ROM from ZTE = update.zip (27 files) = (tron1's bootstack (20 files) + tron1's stock system (4 files)+ recovery.img + fastboot.img + emmc_appsboot.mbn)
recovery.img is the stock recovery from full ROM
TWRP flashable ROM (bootstack + stock system) does not include recovery.img, this explains why TWRP is preserved and not overridden by stock recovery,
and so TWRP can be used to flash TWRP flashable-ROM. fastboot.img and emmc_appsboot.mbn are not included too, so the boot loader (usually unlocked) is untouched.
To build TWRP flashable ROM files:
ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip
ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_Stock_System_by_raystef66.zip
- copy ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B04_BootStack_by_tron1.zip to ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip
- copy ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B04_Stock_System_by_tron1.zip to ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_Stock_System_by_raystef66.zip
- open ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip (with TotalCommander, or WinRAR etc...) and replace all the files (20 files)
(except META-INF directory) by their equivalent taken from update.zip.
- open ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_Stock_System_by_raystef66.zip (with TotalCommander, or WinRAR etc...) and replace all the files (4 files)
(except META-INF directory) by their equivalent taken from update.zip.
- in ZTE_A2017GV1.2.0B05_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip, change \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script content to reflect B05 and the author
ui_print("----------------------------------------");
ui_print("ZTE A2017G V1.2.0B05 Bootstack & Modem");
ui_print("----------- Nougat 7.1.1 -----------");
ui_print("---------- Provided by tron1/raystef66 ----------");

Since the " Master of bootstack/system Tron1" made these files before, I just left this work for him :cyclops:. If he's not made it by this evening I will provide the 2 files and upload them.

There is no real ota (yet?). But you will not lose anything by updating with the full file. It will not erase data. You can check this through the system update service when you put the file on the SD card. It should say if the update will erase data or not.
