Ah that's my bad, I'm on a custom ROM.
Stock might not have it, if you really need it flash a ROM.

Yes it also works on stock. I've used OTG quite a bit and have had zero problems.
OP probably needs to check his OTG cable and / or make sure whatever he is attempting to use doesn't require more power than the phone can give.
@zaki aziz , What variant of the 816 do you have? I know the 816G is lacking a lot of the features that are in the 816.

That is incorrect. I use OTG and am still on stock rom. Like I said in a reply above, maybe your OTG cable is messed up or perhaps you're trying to run a drive that requires too much power? I've run mice and flash drives on my OTG cable with zero problems. Lastly, do you have an 816 or an 816G?

If you want to upgrade to kernel 3.1 with OTA, you have options.
You can unlock and just upgrade kernel.
You can.install a custom ROM and upgraded kernel.
You can try to install a JB ROM and kernel, this requires CID__621, or an European unbranded phone.
To go back to stock, don't upgrade the hboot, which rules out the last option. Even then, the bootloader will say relocked vs locked.

Updating my rooted phone without an A to C cable (safely)

Hey guys,
I want to update my 5X(7.0, NRD90M) to the September security patch(7.0, NRD90R). I'm currently rooted with TWRP installed. How do I go about doing this? I can't attach to my PC and use the android SDK thingamajig because I don't have an A to C cable. Is there any way to do this on my phone without a PC, or perhaps wirelessly with my PC?
Oh, and, updating and taking the OTA like I normally would does nothing. It tells me the update is downloaded, but when I try to install it, it boots into TWRP and does nothing
Thanks in advance!

Just buy the proper cable and flash a full stock rom (bootloader and radio, boot, system) in fastboot and reroot, afaik you need a non-modifed stock rom to flash an OTA fil.

I understand this is an option, but is there no other solution? I don't have a need whatsoever for an A to C cable currently. If I'd have to buy one it would be just for updating. If this is my only option I think I'll just stick with my current version of Android until I can loan a USB-C PC or something. I don't think I'll spend $15 on a cable I'll only use once a month :/

Regarding OTG

I know this phone doesn't have OTG but is that coz of lack of software or hardware? I mean can the OTG functionality be unlocked via custom ROM . Does any custom ROM has implemented the OTG feature?
IDK why ZUK didn't enable OTG on this phone since it doesn't have sd card slot.

You're wrong. Z2 definitely has USB otg feature. If it doesn't work to you maybe your adapter is broken, or your rom doesn't support it (afaik I tried different custom ROMs and almost all had it)

Root without pc?

I have given up trying to root it on my PC. I just cant get the PC to recognise my phone.
Question in title.
I have unlocked the bootloader successfully but can't get any further than that. I'm new to this so sorry for the newbie question. Gotta start somewhere!
You can't, you need your PC(or someone else's) with ADB and fastboot.

It could be something as simple as a USB cable or port hindering you, especially if your using a laptop. Do you have your adb/sdk up to date. It's definitely recognizing your phone somewhat, or else you wouldn't have been unable to unlock your bootloader. More details would help us help you my friend :good:
The USB cable is probably the culprit. Try a different USB cable, preferably the one that came with the phone.

You would still need a male A to male A cable that it didn't come with.

From what I can tell the XT1789-05 is a dual-sim and the XT1789-01 is a single-sim device.
I suspect that is the problem, or it just didn't flash correctly.
Either way locking the bootloader should only be done if firmware is stock unrooted and working correctly.
My only suggestion is trying the rescue option in.
