I'm reverting to uk stock to try and nab the update.zip to re-upload at the moment.

 

EDIT: hmm reverted to 03c and it says no update found.

This is 03c stock recovery, flashable via TWRP .  http://www.modaco.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=94759

Currently manually updating 03c>01d and hoping it shows the update then.

 

EDIT: Now on 01d and it still says "Your software is up to date"

I'm on stock 01d and not seeing any update either.

[Guest Frostyjim]

I might hold off on going back to UK rom so.

if it's true they're rolling out the UK version it's probable that they'll do it in a phased fashion to stop everyone hitting the servers at the same time for a 1GB file. I've already put the Turkish version on mine so can't tell.

[Guest LiNe171]

Just wait. We will get the update.

[Guest macbreakweeklyfan]

I reverted back to UK stock, checked and checked over the course of today, every hour or so, I've really got better things to do so I've gone back to Turkish 5.1.1; can't see how it's gonna be any diff really, it's perfectly okay, and hey - it's 5.1.1 after all, and it's not as if the built in stock apps are gonna jump off the screen and attack me! :D

The link above to the post with link on XDA is not for 5.1.1 it's for 5.0.2, but I wanna know is this the update fix firmware version?..

[Guest Lukas4477]

The link posted on XDA is for 5.0.2. But that's where the ROM will be when its ready. 

 

[Guest Lukas4477]

I've seen a screenshot of the ota somewhere, and it was only around 230mb. 

Obviously not big enough for a whole ROM, but it did say 5.1.1. 

[Guest Lukas4477]

Here it is. 

 

If they are doing it serial number based, mine is a2 blah surely I should have it? 

[Guest Cryptochrome]

I'm running the Turkish 5.1.1. Works fine but I want to know if the UK one is any different (I live in UK). Also, will running the Turkish version affect the ability to get future UK updates?

Thanks

as far as I know you can't get UK updates. You get only Turkey updates.

[Guest David Thompson]

I've been regularly polling the ZTE update server several times a day, by reverting to UK stock once a day, checking for updates, then upgrading to the last "MR" (maintainence release) of 5.0.2 UK, polling again etc, so i can upload it for you all. I have "adb logcat" and "Fiddler" by my side, waiting and ready to sniff that ZIP for us :)

Take care all. God bless.

[Guest AbuRyu]

Its come up for me. I'm downloading it as I type

All you need to do is  enable USB debugging in dev options (if you don't have dev options, go to "Settings >> About Phone" and keep tapping on "build number" until it says you're a developer, then close settings, reopen settings and you'll see "{ }. Developer options" at the bottom of the list; open that, turn on USB debugging, confirmed the pop-up which verifies your computer as authorised and then...

Open a terminal (cmd) window and enter:
"adb logcat > otalog.txt"

Leave that window open as you check for and download the update, then, once it's downloaded, go to the terminal (cmd) window and keep doing CTRL C until it stops, then upload "otalog.txt" here, and I'll try and find the download URL. 

Thank you :)

You will need the ADB drivers installed on your PC to do this, that might be worth mentioning.
