I just had a chat with them and they informed me that the phones don't have international warranty.
[Oppo R7 Plus] ojankun:
Please help me.

So I think I accidentally removed some bloatware when my phone still great.

When I restart the phone hope for a more speedy and light everyday use, it goes bootloop instead.

Here is My Oppo R7sf back then:

1. Already rooted via Oppo Tools, I downgraded the firmware to 151210 version.

2. Booloader not unlocked yet.

3. Cant boot into fastboot mode via buttons, and if I keep holding it = always bootloop, but if I stop pressing it = the logo stucks.

4. Cant boot to Recovery mode nor Hard Reset, and if I keep holding it = same bootloop logo, even I can tell its blinking every 2 seconds. and if I stop pressing it, the logo stucks.

So I was trying how to do fastboot mode via adb and command prompt, but when I type adb devices, it always says "device unauthorized", 12 hours and I have no idea how to get rid of these as far as I know we have to enable usb debugging first, but my phone cannot boot... so... is there any solutions?

Any feedbacks will be much appreciated. Thankyou for your kindness.
[Oppo R7 Plus] celoxocis:
My guess is your phone is entering Qualcomms Emergency Download Mode. Try connecting your phone to an PC USB port and look for driver install attempts.
[Oppo R7 Plus] ojankun:
Ive done it, trying to flash with QFIL, loading .mbn files, rawprogram0, patch0, and the software cant run..

Ive tried with Msm8974 download tool, finished and sahara failed or something like that.

I really lose my hope.. Please everyone... :
[Oppo R7 Plus] celoxocis:
You just need the proper factory flasher.

I will send you a pm when I get to my terminal.
[Oppo R7 Plus] ojankun:
I'm now trying to download miui rom for Oppo Find7 so then I can proceed it with MiFlash. I dont know this will work or not, because I think my only solution is playing around with this Qualcomm things. I've already download MsmDownloader for Find7 too. And I have R7sfEX_11_OTA_005_all_201511191402 stock firmware ready, but have no idea how to flash it because I cant get through fastbood mode via Phone nor ADB devices. :(

Thankyou, I'll be waiting for your PM. Thanks for your kindness.

Hi, if you can help me too ... Oppo R7 PlusM

I'm stucked in the "download mode". No Recovery, No Fastboot. I wasn't unable to find the right MSMDownloadtool.

Can you help me? Thank you a lot
[Oppo R7 Plus] celoxocis:
I can't help for R7PlusM only R7S.
[Oppo R7 Plus] mast3rf0x:
I only need the MSM8939 program utility. The R7s should have the same qualcomm chip. For all others files there are no problem, I should have all necessary.

If are the same, can you send me the link?

Thank you a lot
[Oppo R7 Plus] celoxocis:
No it's not that simple.

The program utility uses headers to compare which phone is plugged it. It compares those headers with the headers of the phone plugged in.

There is no way to force the program utility to flash a different phone than the ones containing the headers it was shipped with.
[Oppo R7 Plus] mast3rf0x:
Ok. For what I understand the process is quite similar to those I've see for MTK. A correct list of the memory and the right flasher.

I've analyzed the content of the directory and seems that the "key" is inside the flasher and a correct settings.xml and rawprogram0.xml.

The various MSMDownloadTool I've found until now can be grouped in : ver.1, ver.2.0 and ver.3.0 (the last one). Everyone of this version have a "range" work using various types of flasher (number.mbn). I belive that the 3.0 should be able to program qualcomm Smartphone of last generation.

However the last MiuiFlasher should be able program everything.

So the main problem is to find the Mbn flasher with Sahara support and right settings files.

I can't find the right flasher.

Maybe I can get a wrong way ... :rolleyes: ... correct me for everything I've missed out :angel:
[Oppo R7 Plus] celoxocis:
Yes that's correct. However there is a thread here somewhere in the R7Plus forum which is specifically for the R7PlusM and in there somewhere is a download link to the factory flasher you are looking for.

I know it because months ago I came across it and downloaded its, saw that it contains only Chinese based Oppo files and deleted it later on.

So I suggest you search that thread for what you need.
[Oppo R7 Plus] mast3rf0x:
Ok ... I will search. Thank you for your useful information.:good:

I have an R7S which has been bricked; details originally posted here but no reply yet.

Additionally to the quoted post above, if I attempt to go into recovery mode and plug the phone into my PC at the same time, the logo stays on but nothing else. I'm not sure if this is sitting in fastboot mode, however I still can't communicate via adb.

Could you please help me resurrect my phone.

[Android Apps and Games] micku7zu:
Hi XDA community! I just updated an application that lets your friends know when you arrive at your destination so they don't have to call you while you drive.

I made this app for personal use, because I use this feature a lot. It's more convenient to have an app that replies with your current location, remaining distance and approximative time of arrival than to talk on the phone or write a text message while you drive.

The application is completely free, open source and without ads.

You can find screens, video demo, source code and apk on Github at: https://github.com/micku7zu/Locate-driver

Or you can install it from the Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.micutu.locatedriver

The app is simple to use, just set a keyword, a destination and hit start. You can close the app after that, even restart the phone, the app will not drain battery because it is not opened in the background. It opens only when an SMS is received, checks for keyword, and if the keyword match, tries to get the location, responds to the SMS then it is closed again until next message.

I hope my app will improve your everyday life!

Feedback appreciated!

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkuczera:
Can this brick your phone/void your warranty? Of course it could! I wouldn't be posting it on XDA if it couldn't! :D

So as it stands right now, if you do this, you're not going to get further updates from ZTE, unless they change their stance.

Here's a method that should work for any brave souls. It's the method I used so far.

My understanding is this update only makes the required patches to allow the command fastboot oem unlock to actually unlock the bootloader. That being said, I do not know for sure that this is not specific to my phone's IMEI. If someone would supply me with the file/link they get from using adb shell logcat > ota.txt while checking for updates, then grep ota.txt | ZDMLog (if you use linux) or do a find for https:// in ota.txt it would be useful for this verification.

For microSD card method:

Take this (Thanks DrakenFX) or this file and put it in /sdcard/, making sure extension is .zip

Enable OEM unlock from the settings->development menu.

Reboot phone (or boot phone) while pressing volume up. This will get you into stock recovery. From here, apply update from SD card, P996A01B20Fastboot_ssl.zip

No microSD card method:

This

may

also be possible without an SD card using the adb sideload option in stock recovery and "adb sideload P996A01B20Fastboot_ssl.zip" on your desktop. If you are successful using this method, send me a PM so I can update this post.

Now if you reboot into bootloader (which you can do right from recovery), you will hopefully find that "fastboot oem unlock" actually brings up the bootloader unlock prompt on your phone.

You should be able to verify to this point as per below.

Without using the fastboot oem unlock command I have not lost any user data (but it's still a good idea to back it up!) If you do unlock, you will lose your data!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
This method requires 20B to already be installed, correct? If so, is there a way to sideload the 20B update (so one can go from launch firmware -> sideloaded 20B -> sideloaded 20B_boot)? Juuuust in case ZTE puts out a 20C or something that blocks sideloading and renders "unofficial" bootloader unlock attempts like this invalid.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkuczera:
It does require 20B to be installed. It appears 20B can sideloaded as well. The only error message I received was 20B expects 20160624 or 20160707 (and I'm now at 20160805). Maybe someone can try to sideload 20B on 20B?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dennis96411:
So looking through the update script, it seems to check for SHA1 matches for certain parts of the boot, system and recovery partitions. I'm not sure if the patch itself has content specific to an IMEI or if this is just a simple check to make sure the phone has the correct build installed.

Looking at this, it seems the purpose of the part of the script before # ---- start making changes here ---- is used to verify a correctly configured system, with no apparent relation to the IMEI. It looks like the script itself is completely generic, and the checks could probably be removed so this will work on any build. Now we just need another update package to compare the other content (fastboot.img, patch\boot.img.p, patch\recovery.img.p) with to see if they're generic as well. This makes me wonder if flashing fastboot.img alone is enough, as that's what is used to interface with the bootloader unlock.

Man I hope so, then the rest of the world can get a bootloader unlock even if ZTE won't unlock the bootloader for us.....

Has anyone captured 20B and has it for others to try?

My phone won't come until next week (first wave of grays), but I'll try capturing it if it's not already installed. We just have to wait 5 days :p

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
So in theory, the process would be to sideload the 20B update, reboot, then sideload the file in the OP?

Hopefully someone will get around to testing this method (or at least the OP's file) before my phone comes next week, but if not, I'll do it first thing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
In theory, yes (You could also update to 20B normally, but good to have it as a backup). Hopefully 20B_Boot is not device-specific.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
I assume the most likely outcome is that it simply wouldn't flash. Even so, I'm willing to be a bit reckless as I can just return the phone for new one (via the retailer, not ZTE) :p

Haha same but never dealt with B&H so we'll see how that goes. Still waiting for the grey one.

So everyone should update to B20 as soon as possible and then not update to anything else.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
They're fantastic. 30-day (from delivery) no-questions-asked return policy on smartphones. If there's an actual problem with the phone, they'll even pay for return shipping. No restocking fee in either case.

If there is a problem with the phone itself, you can exchange it and the 30-day return policy resets from delivery of the replacement unit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
I was trying but Can't use " apply update from SDCard " but the "apply update from ADB " seems to be enable just didn't try cuz i don't have my laptop with me at the moment (till i get home) , check picture.

P.S. just to clear things up when i select "apply Update from SDCard" is when i get that message, so the ADB option is the only way for me to apply this and yes I'm in B20.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkuczera:
Did you have an update file in /sdcard/ ? Since this is the stock recovery, I'm quite certain it's looking for a physical microSD for this usage scenario.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Yep, have the P996A01B20Fastboot_ssl.zip in actually both internal and SDCard root directory, looks like apply Update from SDCard is block But apply update from ADB isn't (side loading)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
Try changing the filename to P996A01B20Fastboot_ssl.up. The direct-link from ZTE for the 20B update has that extension.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jkuczera:
It's got to be another issue altogether because I can pull up the SD card menu even if I don't have files in there.

You're also getting a

It's all the same to ZTE in this instance because they will reflash their stock software upon return of the phone since it's not for a warranty repair.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
That's because i haven't been able to flash the file from OP and enable OEM after :D

Maybe you can dump the vanilla B20 rom before you flash the BL OTA, see the OP in the link below. [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] just added dump function to it. You can get the boot, recovery and system even if you flash his TWRP without booting back into rom.

I am in the exact same boat as you are. Got the same error trying to install, bootloader and baseband don't show up(could be normal maybe?), and installing twrp results in having to enter a pass code.

If taken literal maybe there is something wrong with our system maybe since I did try twrp first before this bootloader unlock method.

Does anyone know if that would prevent me from doing an official bootloader unlock?

there is a New TWRP which is the v3.0.2-2 , try that one out i tested backing up and restoring the famous EFS partition and work , beside everyone seems to blame the previous build so give the NEW twrp a try
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stl-soldier:
3.0.2-2 didn't work for me. Only the one tenfar provided with axon7root works. People having issues with the required password on boot just haven't seen the correct process yet. Flash boot.img, factory reset in stock recovery, flash recovery.img, boot to new recovery, hit read only, reboot to system. Done. The only issue is that the recovery can't read the data partition since it says encrypted and requires a password. I was able to flash Xposed though, so all is well.

I have the same issue as others trying bootloader unlock though. It doesn't seem to work anymore. I've seen several reports of the same. The gray Axon 7s came with a newer date B20 it seems, which probably doesn't match some kind of hash checking from the older date B20 unlock file. We'll have to wait for someone with a gray model to capture the URL of the unlock, or maybe they are device (IMEI) specific now. Time and testing will tell.

Thanks for your work so far. You and the others have me running great on a locked BL. Until custom ROMs start showing up for this device I see no reason to unlock thanks to you guys.

If you did the root with locked BL method, then that breaks the BL unlock process, and the process requires the stock B20 boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img. The root-with-locked-BL method changes one or both.
