It did work by restoring rczrider's system backup however I don't have WiFi anymore. From what I read it could be because of the modified boot.img. I PM'ed [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION], Hopefully he can fix this.

[MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] , Thank you for delivering on your promise & releasing an update! I just tested the new version for a2017u B20, and it worked! Wi-fi, root, everything works just as expected. The only issue I has was that after cleaning data using TWRP, I still got the "Enter the password" message during boot. I even tried wiping internal storage, still didn't help. My solution was to reflash the stock recovery & wipe the data using it. Hope this helps anyone that has a similar issue. Thanks again!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] tdgillihan:
In order to make it clear and simple for those that don't have much experience and yet will still try to do things like this, would you mind detailing exactly the steps you took to fix the password issue? I'm sure most of us know what you mean, but many will ask. That way instead of having to explain how to do it over and over we can just link your post. And I think that, now that this is confirmed working, [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] may want to include it in his guides post. And maybe [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] will put your guide in the OP as well.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] mmamedov:
As suggested by [MENTION=4730718]tdgillihan[/MENTION], I will write step-by-step instruction on how I got root (& TWRP) to work on my a2017u B20 device.

Disclaimer: there might be easier/better/faster ways to do this, but this is the way that worked for me.

All links & some steps are taken from the original post in this thread.

Skip to step 8 if you have done this before, but haven't been successful.

tl;dr version: flash boot first, clear data using stock recovery, then flash TWRP.

1. Download the latest package by [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] for a2017u B20 (here: http://d-h.st/LqR5), unpack.

2. Download [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION]'s backup tool (here: http://d-h.st/Ienb), unpack.

3. Download Qualcomm drivers (here: http://d-h.st/35tx), install them (choose WWAN when prompted).

4. Plug the phone in while holding volume up & volume down buttons.

5. Go to Device Manager in Windows & check which port you're connected to. Look for a Qualcomm USB device.

6. Go to the folder where the backup tool is unpacked (from step 2), right click while holding shift, choose "Open command window here."

7. Type in "axon7backup.exe -p X -d" where X is the port number you're connected to (ex. axon7backup.exe -p 4 -d). This will create 2 backup files, save both of them in case of bootloop.

8. Go to the folder where the rooting tool is unpacked (from step 1), right click while holding shift, choose "Open a Command Window."

9. Type in " axon7root.exe -p X -b" where X is the port number you're connected to. DO NOT include -r at the end.

10. Unplug from computer, boot into recovery by holding volume up & power button (it might take 2 tries.)

11. Navigate using volume buttons, choose "wipe data/factory reset" using power button, choose "power off" after successful wipe.

12. Plug the phone back to the computer while holding volume up & volume down buttons.

13. Go to the folder where the rooting tool is unpacked (from step 1), right click while holding shift, choose "Open a Command Window."

14. Type in " axon7root.exe -p X -r" where X is the port number you're connected to.

15. Unplug from computer, boot into recovery by holding volume up & power button. This time it should boot into TWRP recovery.

16. Reboot into the system.

17. Don't forget to support [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION], [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION], [MENTION=4730718]tdgillihan[/MENTION], and everyone else that has contributed to the community behind this device.

Make sure you're using the correct images for the phone. Just as a test, make a backup of recovery & boot, rename them to recovery.img & boot.img, & place them in axon7backup.exe folder. Run the same command, see if it works. If it does, then the problem is in the files. If it doesn't, the problem is in the phone

If I need to format my data partition then I will lose everything I've installed so far correct? If so is data formatting required?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rdm128:
First a round of thanks and tips are coming shortly. I followed the instructions and am now waiting on my first boot.

A question while I'm waiting. As I read, it seems like the 'key' for the encryption is somewhere in the boot file. That's why we have to format when we change boot images. Does this mean we are all sharing the same key now?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jason1332:
First boot success?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] peramikic:
Not quite from what i'm inferring about what was done to original boot.img and how FDE on Android works in M. The /data on A7 is by default in forced encryption. That means that it's encrypted by "default password" uniquely hashed by the TEE that is created at device setup time (no data). Changing the original boot.img with the patched one changes the root key in this case, so your old "hash" is not valid anymore or better yet the hash that is made by TEE now does not match the one that encrypted the /data in first place. Once you format /data, a new unique hashed key will be created and that will then encrypt the new /data partition. It will be valid until you mess with boot.img again. It might however survive subsequent boot images from tenfar if the resigning is done with same keys but i don;t know that much about dm-crypt
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] rdm128:
That makes me feel a bit more comfortable, thanks! I don't know the insides of Android well enough just yet. After getting everything in place, I see that TWRP still needs a password for Data. I'm ok not knowing it, I can mount the sd-card and work from there as a workaround.

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------

YES! It took a bit because I wanted to be cautious. I used twrp to back up an unmodified /system immediately. I'm glad I did, because I had to revert after I screwed up busy-box.

From other advice I had read in this thread, I installed terminal and issued "sudo reboot disemmcwp" after completing the rooting process. This allowed me to delete some of the bloat preinstalled. I plan to re-enable the wp once I get things setup.

I use rom-toolbox pro (long time jrummy fan). I was unable to restore the data for my apps directly (my primary reason for rooting) . I was able to go into the backup directory, find and extract the data, then overwrite the /data/data settings for the app. This did the trick!

Thanks one and all. If I can help others, please ask!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] HonestOtter:
Hi I have a us Version, I had tried the original Tool when it came out. Needless to say my wifi didn't work I and Spent about 20 hours trying everything I could think of to fix it.

Needless to say I ended up using Rcriders System.image. I wasn't sure how to apply it so I wiped system, data, cache... then I made a back up of just the boot to my MicroSD card. I copied Rcriders into the sd card, then restored it with TWRP. Needless to say my original system file is gone I think.

I used the new tenfar new tool today and my wifi worked. Sadly when i went to make my first back up I got the TWRP Password. If I format or wipe the data it goes away, I can restart twrp and won't get the password, but when I boot into system and do anything and restart into TWRP it needs the password and can't mount the data, thus can't back up anything.

So I followed your above steps 8-17. I Loaded what i believe was my stock boot and recovery I made when I used Tenfar back up too. I shut down my phone. I then began with your steps. I loaded just the new boot that came with the new too. I went into the default recovery and reset the data. Then I turned off and plugged in cable with up and down volume pressed. I used the tool to push the new recovery that came with the tool. I booted into TWRP, and rebooted the system.

System loads I put my wifi password in do the basic set up then restart into twrp, and it needs the password to dcrypt. I read through ever thread multiple times I started with different versions of stock boot and recovery images. I tried formatting the data and wiping the data in twrp. I tried restoring the system images in between formatting and or wiping the data. I flash SU in twrp, I try the adb reboot disemmcwp and adb shell reboot disemmcwp. I have tried the free and paid version of Superuser app. I never have root in my phone and every time I reboot into TWRP it needs a password.

I have spent the last 5 hours trying anything and everything I can think of. If anyone has any ideas I would be so grateful. I am hoping it is obvious what I am doing wrong.

Does anyone have an idea of what i am doing wrong. I never

Try using the recovery image from the initial B20 zip, and boot image from the new zip. Try using the adb command to keep system edits. Make sure to download phh's superuser. Make sure you have the original system image. There's a link to a flashable zip in the main guide. Sorry for not including any links, I'm on my phone. Let me know if you get it fixed.

Edit.: try using twrp img that's been posted in twrp thread as recovery img. Do not slide the make system writable slider when you boot into twrp. Instead tap keep read only every time. That's all I can think of right now, might come up with something tomorrow morning. Btw I'm not a developer so I don't have the best understanding of how everything works, but I am a somewhat experienced user, so there's that

[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
Now I using China rom b370, overall performance is good.

Camera have more options such as time lapse, object recognition, and online translation.

Phone manager have permission manager and virus scanner

Fingerprint is faster

Ability to download video from any app such as Tumblr

And lots more.

Disadvantages,

no ability to lock signal, sometime crashes, charging slow ( some say new update fix it)

How to install?

Simply download any China marshmallows rom, extract the ' system' and 'boot' file using 'huawei update extractor'

Flash it using Fastboot

First boot take longer time.

After that Install the downloaded rom using normal update method ( folder dload)

Rom can be obtain from 4pda forum ( Russian)

.......................................................................................

MY question is it possible to get China rom features into Europe rom?? ? ?
[Honor 7 General] zinko_pt:
What model do you have?

Didn't you debrand your phone to a China model? If so, to which model?
[Honor 7 General] memht:
I installed B380 yesterday but protected apps function doesn't work. I enabled it for Whatsapp but when I clear the background apps, Whatsapp going also. To get notifications, I had to open Whatsapp again and you should never close it. Then I went back to new B220 rom, same thing happened again. After that debranded to PLK-L01 again and I am using B180 right now, everything works fine. Unstable Marshmallow is killing me. I will not update until a stable firmware come up.

I have a B371 update notification right now but it's not useful too.

But except this issue, Chinese firmwares are really good and clean. Even there are no Google Apps. I installed manually GAPPS Pico version.
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
First I'm using Malaysia set, then go to Europe version, now China version.

I only push the ROM using Fastboot
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
Yeah I'm also has the issue with protected app. I will install a custom rom ' kangvip' , hope it will fix the issues.

By the way, how did you get the update, I didn't get any update to b380.

Did u using wifi to check for update?
[Honor 7 General] memht:
First, I debranded to PLK-TL01H from PLK-L01. And I installed B380 Full OTA directly via dload way.

Debranding is not necessary always but it's better when the phone version is fully compatible with firmware.

And you cannot get any update if you do not do debrand thing.
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
yeah , i think you right . so how did you debranding ?

Is it,install lolipop rom, debrand ( changed build version to b100) and full ota ?

now im using b380 Kangvip custom rom , everything ok i guess, fingerprint lots faster and plus more features .
[Honor 7 General] Kikito94:
Hi, try to debrand with the Multitool

Because, i think, i you flash another Rom with a different cust you won't have the ota's
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
I always wondering what is the use of the ' Cust' . And I never flash it. Tq man. I try it next time. Now I'm happy with this China rom except it don't have the ability to lock signal ?.
[Honor 7 General] Kikito94:
Hi again,

The cust is specific for each region ( at least i think it's this )

You have the C432BXXX ( C432 means Europe, so you'll have the update for european device )

That's why i think you can install a different Rom, but whitout the ota's;)

And finaly, debrand the phone put the cust of your choice and allow you to receive the ota's ;)

I wish you good luck ;)
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
OK tq bro. Hehe
[Honor 7 General] Kikito94:
For your main question, i don't think so, what i know is, on MM you can add some lignes in the build.prop to add functionality ,but i'm afraid that all of you want is in the update,maybe there is a way, but i'm just a phone user ^^

It's just based on my searches

;)
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
This china has great feature, such a loss that huawei decided to not included china rom feature into european . :rolleyes:
[Honor 7 General] Kikito94:
All i want to see in a near ota hehe.

Well, that already they've removed the "back with fingerprint"...

The important one for me, i don't use anymore my navbar with this function.. they've replace it by swipe left/right for pictures in MM...
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
Even China rom don't have that features. It might be available on emui 4.1
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
i already push the system , boot, and cust using fastboot,

and then I instal full rom b190 to make it stable

after that I debrand using multitool, everything already done .

but still dont get any ota update. I try to flash the b190 china rom and check for update again,

still no luck .

did I miss something ??:rolleyes::eek:
[Honor 7 General] Kikito94:
Hi,

Well, i've never used the Multitool to debrand, but After installation of your Rom, have you made a hardreset ? ( Before trying debrand )

And have you got a custom recovery ? ( to receive ota, recovery stock is required )

;)
[Honor 7 General] memht:
You can't get OTA update quickly. This may take a while. And you don't have to wait, just download B380 and install it.
[Honor 7 General] AHMD92:
So I have to wait for few days ?

Did you updating using wifi connection. I check the update using data connection.
