It's recommended you update your mobile phone with the latest software, as the manufacturer continuously corrects errors. It's a good idea to back up the phone memory first. Before you can update the phone software, you need set up your mobile phone for internet. The Android 8.0 Oreo update for ZTE Axon 7 is a leaked version which is shared by XDA user asderdd, through this OTA file, you can easily install Android 8.0 Oreo update on ZTE Axon 7 manually. The Android 8.0 Oreo update will soon roll out via OTA for all users.

The AXON 7 is scheduled to receive a number of progressive updates including Android Nougat updates. [Android Nougat for the AXON 7 is Now available for SD Card update - See below] To be able to do this your AXON 7 should be on 'V1.0.0B11', which is the last Android Marshmallow Release and was the release that all AXON 7's purchased from 'Officeworks' had installed.

The 'V1.0.0B10' update was available by FOTA but after a number of users reported issues we have taken it down and opt'ed for the SDcard method for the update and this method of upgrade (manual / User performed) has continued upto the latest released version.

Below is the information required to upgrade your AXON 7 (AU) edition to any approved and released firmware all the way to the latest Nougat update available using the SDcard method. And remember, you must have at least the 'V1.0.0B10' firmware on your device before you will be able to do the Android Nougat updates.

There is one thing I would recommend - Uninstall Nova or any other launcher and do not reinstall it until after you have tried the new Launcher options under the Android Nougat releases - After updating t Android Nougat go to the Settings / Default apps / Launcher to set whch launch to use by default and remember to 'Allow' all permissions for it that will appear on the screen.

Pick your current Firmware Build Version

Go to the Settings / About phone menu and scroll down to see which Build Version you have currently on your AXON 7. Then find it in the table below to see the current information relating to upgrading your device to the latest version.

• Android Marshmallow Builds
• Android Nougat Builds

B11 Firmware Upgrade process - Released 10/01/2018

This process is used when you have a normally functioning AXON 7 handset. This update is only for the AXON 7 model and not the AXON Mini or AXON 7 Mini. If you have an AXON 7 that is not booting or is booting only to the Recovery Menu then read the included Instruction PDF file from the top of Page 4 where the Section B. Forced upgrade method is detailed.

Special Note

If you have just purchased an AXON 7 from Officeworks then your device has the firmware version B11 on it and you can directly upgrade to Android Nougat without downgrading to the B10 firmware. So scroll down to the Android Nougat V1.2.0B12 Upgrade procedure now, or close this window and reselect the V1.0.0B11 firmware from the list for the correct details.

Important Note

AXON 7 setup for the update ----> Remove the SIM card from the handset and factory default it after backup of your content if you have been using the device for weeks or more. If it is a brand new device then don't install the SIM, and only install the SDcard and power on. Skip through the wizard and once you are on the idle screen connect to the PC and set the USB connection mode to Media device MTP.

Required Items

1. AXON 7 AU edition handset with Firmware Build Version V1.0.0B06
2. AXON 7 USB cable
3. Personal Computer (Windows based is easier) with plenty of space
4. MicroSD Card of at least 8GB in size (handy for photos and music)
5. Home broadband suggested to download the 'B11' 2.3GB & the Android Nougat 2.7GB ZIP files as they are large

Once you have these items you can proceed

Steps

• Use a PC and download the SDcard B11 update from the link below.


• Extract the ZIP file on to your PC and you will find a folder with the update.zip file and a pdf instruction (I ignore the instructions in this case as the process is very simple and listed below).
• Copy the update.zip file to the root of a MicroSD card – You can do this with the MicroSD card in the handset and Media device MTP USB mode and your AXON 7 USB cable.
• Once the file is copied to the root of the MicroSD card disconnect the handset from the PC and go to Settings / System update menu on the handset.
• It will check for the update file and validate it on the MicroSD card. Once the update is validated, you can click install and then click the second 'install' button that is counting down from 15seconds to immediately start the update.
• The handset will now do the update, restart by itself and then complete the update process - it will only take a few minutes if you have a new / clean device. If you have lots of apps it may take longer. Once the handset has restarted and after the display has gone back to sleep just wake the device and there will be a notification box saying 'update success or complete' on the idle screen. You can now start to use your device again. But if you don't see the message stating that the update has completed then wait until you get the notification before starting the next update procedure to go to Android Nougat, the latest released version of firmware and bug fixes.

• Copy the 'AndroidNupdateB06.zip' file as it is to the root of a MicroSD card – You can do this with the MicroSD card in the handset and Media device MTP USB mode and your AXON 7 USB cable.
• Once the file is copied to the root of the MicroSD card disconnect the handset from the PC and go to the Settings / System update menu on the handset.
• It will check for the update file and validate it on the MicroSD card. Once the update is validated, you can click install and then click the second 'install' button that is counting down from 15seconds to immediately start the update.
• The handset will now do the update, restart by itself and then complete the update process - it will only take a few minutes if you have a new / clean device. If you have lots of apps it may take longer. Once the handset has restarted and after the display has gone back to sleep just wake the device and there will be a notification box saying 'update success or complete' on the idle screen. You can now start to use your device again. But if you don't see the message stating that the update has completed then wait until you get the notification.

You should now have a AXON 7 upgraded to the Android N 7.1.1 B06 firmware.

Firmware Upgrade from V1.2.0B06 to V1.2.0B12 - Released 12/09/2018

This procedure will show you how to manually update an AXON 7 using the microSD Card method. In the future you may be able to use the Settings / System update menu and perform future updates for your device using the FOTA (Firmware over the Air) method.

Important Note

AXON 7 setup for the update ----> Remove the SIM card from the handset and factory default it after backup of your content if you have been using the device for weeks or more. If it is a brand new device then don't install the SIM, and only install the SDcard and power on. Skip through the wizard and once you are on the idle screen connect to the PC and set the USB connection mode to Media device MTP.

Required Items

1. AXON 7 AU edition handset with Firmware Build Version V1.2.0B06
2. AXON 7 USB cable
3. Personal Computer (Windows based is easier) with plenty of space
4. MicroSD Card of at least 8GB in size (handy for photos and music)
5. Home broadband suggested to download the firmware ZIP files which can be upto 2.7GB in size

Once you have these items you can proceed

Steps

• Use a PC and download the SDcard Android Nougat (V1.2.0B12) update from the link below.


• Extract the downloaded ZIP file on your PC and you will find a folder with the update.zip file and a pdf instruction (I ignore the instructions in this case as the process is very simple and listed below).
• Optional step - Rename the update.zip file to 'updateNB12.zip' or something of your choosing as you can then have multiple firmware versions on your microSD Card and update other family or friends AXON 7's to the latest Android firmware easily. Just remember that you can't have two files with the same name together and the update files must all be located in the root folder of the microSD Card.
• Copy the downloaded 'updateNB12.zip' file as it is to the root of a MicroSD card – You can do this with the MicroSD card in the handset and Media device MTP USB mode and your AXON 7 USB cable.
• Once the file is copied to the root of the MicroSD card disconnect the handset from the PC and go to the Settings / System update menu on the handset.
• It will check for the update file and validate it on the MicroSD card. Once the update is validated, you can click install and then click the second 'install' button that is counting down from 15seconds to immediately start the update.

You can now start to use your device again. But if you don't see the message stating that the update has completed then wait until you get the notification.

You should now have a AXON 7 upgraded to the Android N 7.1.1 firmware with the '1 July 2018' security patch.
