ZTE Blade V8 Pro Update Servers Unavailable - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have recently purchased the ZTE Blade V8 Pro since my old phone died and I needed a powerful, budget phone. I bought it to only find out that the phone is still on Android 6.0.1 but can be upgraded to Android 7.1.1. According to the internet ZTE's update servers are down right now because they are about to roll out a new update or google took away their ability. I am also under the impression that the raw update files for my phone are floating around the internet and I can put them on my SD card and do the update that way. I was wondering if anyone has the most recent update and security patch for my phone and if so can they send me said files. Even if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Edit: The internet has made it clear that this is the most recent update: Z978V1.0.0B19

I do see some posts regarding other members trying to get an Unofficial LineageOS developed but, nothing has been released yet. Just be patient... Remember that, the greater the need/want, the greater the chances for someone to release it.
Good Luck!

First time rooting. LG G4. (I've heard it's difficult but do able)

Alright so I have an LG G4 LS991ZVI and I was wondering if any of you here knew a good way to go about rooting it. I can't seem to find anything on the web about it. I really love this phone and I've had it for three years now. I'm just getting tired of running Nova Launcher so I can have a smidge more control over how it works. I want that full access. Also if you know of a good way to root it what are some good ZVI ROM's that I could use with it? Thanks guys.

Best lineage phones - as close to official as possible

Ive owned some great devices for cyanogenmod/lineageos, and ive owned some terrible ones. Nexus phone ans oneplus have been the absolute best - recently the LG G6 (US997 version) has been terrible.
Looking at devices out now - the only phones that have official support for 15.1 that are new(ish) are:
Oneplus devices
nexus devices
xiaomi mi 5, 5s and 5 plus
LeEco Lepro3
Is that right, only those phones?
Which devices are officially supported? Especially interested in cheaper ones - I wish something like the moto E4 was supported better, because imo for most - something like that is more than enough.

I also came to this LineageOS forum in hopes of finding a specific thread of newly supported devices.
Because the list on the official wiki https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/ seems to be outdated by this article from April 26th: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-15-1-android-8-1-oreo/.
But since that's an article, it's also probably outdated.
So is the community updating anywhere what new phones they got LOS to run on?

Rooting and Flashing With Android Instead Of PC

Hey folks. Currently using a Nexus 6P, and I've got another Nexus 6P that I want to play around with.
I don't have a PC to access at the moment (most of my posts are about ghetto-hacking lol), so I'm hoping there's a way to use one phone as the PC-component.
I don't see why this isn't possible, but I'm not finding much support for my searches.
I'm wondering if I can just sideload from one phone to another and what tools I need to do that.
Thanks in advance for any help

Sony Ericsson W200i unlocking

Dear All,
At the outset, apologies if this request is not in the right thread, however i think it should be, and if not, i am more than happy to get i removed and be moved it to the right one!
I found a brand new sony ericsson w200i phone in my garage and thought of putting it to use. It is locked to the orange network in the UK and I was wondering if any one has the right firmwares and steps to get it unlocked? That's all my request is.
I am more than happy to provide any further details, if required.
Also, I have tried searching on google for over 3 days now however I have not been able to find the firmwares (SEtools and the flash files). I may know the steps a bit as there still exist the videos, however if anyone with right guidance can help, it would be a big favour as I am planning to gift this phone to someone who can not afford a phone.
many thanks in advance!

Wow...
The Sony Ericsson W200i Walkman device is really not a very active device for developments and such.
The following area of the forum is probably your best bet regarding anything for your device.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-mini
Don't worry about the "Xperia Mini" reference because that area basically morphed into a multi device area for the "Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Active, Ray, Live with Walkman" devices.
Good Luck!
