Source code for Nougat (7.0) is available for download. To bad we have that damn locked boot loader.
Nougat
I asked lg for nougat release, and they told me that update is still in process of testing. Software and hardware compatibility issue.
They are making it up. The release for the v10 has been out for sometime, the delay is Verizon despite what they claim.
I will try to flash h960ar nougat rom, but i can't find it. All sites are down.

Hi community,
as far as I read nougat has been torn back from sony. Anybody updated before and has a smooth experience? Would like to update too.
Downloading and starting flashtool does not give me the check updates tab, so is anything wrong or has the device to be prepared?
Does this way need root or unlocked bootloader or something else?
I hoped taking a virgin z5c and flashtool would fit to check for updates, find the device and firmwares according to, choose one of and flash?
Isnt it that easy? Any ideas when nougat from sony official will be provided once more?
Thank you
There were a couple of serious bugs in the Nougat release, hence the draw back by Sony.
Maybe in a month or two, we'll see a fully working Nougat ROM for Z5C.

I'd suggest to wait too. Backup TA, Root and use Xposed instead. The only thing that is a bit more handy is split screen mode. I have audio bugs and thermal issues running nougat.
hello there to all experts,
I read a lot and did not find 100% satisfactorily answer anywhere about downgrading android from Oreo to nougat via flashing Nougat firmware with help of SP Flash Tool.
Actually i have lenovo k8 Plus 3 GB variant. Unfortunately i upgraded it to Oreo vi OTA update but after that facing a lot problems. I have done flash while once i stuck in boot loop in nougat so i have all working firmware and drivers and sp flash tool too.
but when i looked in videos on you-tube and comment of users 99/100 told that their phone did not boot after flashing firmware and to make phone working again they had to flash Oreo again. some experts told that oreo support project treble so partition scheme has lil bit changed. some user says its boot loader is different and tht's y device did not turn on after downgrade. some says firmware should be of binary 2 boot-loader.
In short m not getting perfect technical answer . is there any technical reason behind downgrading Oreo to nougat or i can do it.
plz make it clear.:silly:
First reason couldn't be correct. because, project treble hasn't enabled even after Oreo update.
Hi fellow Aussies, ZTE AU has finally updated the web site so you can download the Nougat B12 ROM.
I'm downloading now and going to install over my current B12 so I can look at build.prop and see if it has any localisation for us.
http://www.ztemobiles.com.au/feature_AXON7.htm
Firmware Upgrade from V1.2.0B09 to V1.2.0B12 - Released 12/09/2018
But the zip is 2.8Gb so it is a full ROM, not just an update. Make sure you're at least running Nougat B09 but B10 will be fine too. They specify B09 as they never released B10 for AU.
Edit: I don't think it is any different to the files from other countries. Build prop still has EN GB as default location same as the one I already installed.
Awesome thank you for that info, I have a friend that needs her Axon 7 updated, I'll check it out for her.
I'm running the B16 Oreo Build atm, giving it a test run
I'm patiently waiting for an official public release of Oreo. Too many on XDA want everything to happen overnight jump the gun and go flash happy with custom ROMs and brick their devices or whine about stuff not working.....

Maybe it's because of rumors about official Oreo release? I saw some posts on XDA and Reddit that upgrade from Nougat to Oreo may be a one way ticket to lock your device. Locked bootloader, no root, no EDL and ability to downgrade.
But they are only rumors.
@RobboW
I'm hearing you there, I jumped in feet first unfortunately
I soft bricked my phone but managed to recover it with an Edl package
Heya. I read and seen on several sites that the A10e was going to get the One UI 2 update in May of 2020. It's June and I still haven't even gotten the security patch due for May, let alone a Android 10 update. This is on the Metro by T-Mobile variant SM-A102U
Update: I found that the A102USQU6BTE4 baseband of the A102U has gotten the android 10 update, but the ATE5 versions got a security patch instead. Will the ATE5 versions get the update eventually, or can I take the BTE4 version and flash it to the phone through Odin? (I'm assuming that'd obviously be a know). Hopefully I'm posting this in the right place.
I have an app that does not work after Android 8 that I need and there is no replacement in 9 or above. I managed to avoid updating my v30 to v9 and later for a year or so. It accidentally allowed the update to 9 this past weekend while I was camping. All I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
I have enough tech knowledge to follow directions and understand rooting but am having a really hard time finding the "right directions." As I was reading some of them, I found caveats like, "Use X unless you have the delta update and then use Y but not if you want to run Z. For Z, you have to follow this other thread." I also know that using the wrong settings or data file could brick the phone.
So, I'm hoping someone can help me narrow down what sets of directions I need to follow.
Here's what I have right now:
LG V30 (VS996) On Verizon Network
Developer Options Enabled
Android V9
Security Patch Level August 1, 2019
Kernel Version: 4.4.153
Build #: PKQ1.190414.001
Software version: VS99630c
Again, all I want to do is roll back to stock v8 or 8.1 (Oreo).
Bonus would also be a way to stop asking me every day to update or delay a day and just wait until I manually do it.
Thx in advance!!

Follow the instructions on both the pages. I think you can take it from here.
Note that implied with this process is that you cannot downgrade your firmware without wiping the phone... there's no way to "patch" back to the old version. So, be sure to take backups FIRST.
If you're rooted on the old firmware, you can then disable/freeze/delete the update APKs so that the update warning goes away. But this requires root, so be aware of that. If you don't haven't rooted already, then this is a process of its own, and will require you to go back to Nougat in order to perform that, so you may want to do that before installing the final version of the ROM you want. You can find out how to do this rooting process on the WTF thread, post #193, located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ar-instructions.3790500/page-10#post-76584629
If you don't want to root, that's fine, but then you must endure the update warning process... unless you can find another way to disable the update APKs.
Thank you both. I expected to wipe the phone so that's not an issue. I will first install Nougat, root and then update to Oreo.
There are about 14 Oreo ROMs on that site. Do I just pick the latest one or do I have to pick the earliest one and update that?
Pick the latest one.
