Here is the latest from the ZTE forums about what happens once you unlock the bootloader (https://community.zteusa.com/message/45179#comment-45179)

- If you don't flash any custom ROMs and keep the stock software, will you still receive updates from ZTE?

Answer: Once the bootloader on the Axon 7 is unlocked the device will no longer receive OTA update.

- If you unlock the bootloader and there is a hardware defect or an accidental drop or whatever that has nothing to do with the bootloader unlock, will the warranty still be voided?

Answer: At this time internal discussions are ongoing

- If you submit your IMEI to ZTE and you don't unlock the bootloader or update to the OTA that allows the bootloader unlock, will the warranty still be voided?

Answer: Waiting on clarification of the process of removing users from the bootloader unlock request list.

- Will factory images for the stock ROM be released?

Answer: Internal discussions are ongoing

Not the best answers, but at least it's a status update.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nameless One:
Not the best, no, but we don't know when the people who make the decisions were asked, and we don't know how long it will take to clue up all the customer service reps and warranty people (and anyone else who could spew inaccurate info on twitter or wherever) before telling customers so that we don't have a repeat of the situation days before they announced the boot-loader unlock.

[MENTION=7558918]rikin93[/MENTION] is reporting a 2GB update for the EU version (B02). That seems huge. I wonder what's in it...

EDIT: they added a download link. Dig in!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
All of the Chinese ROMs are 2.35 GB, so the global one is actually smaller. The system partition images decompress to about 4.5 GB. I assume when/if we get the US images they will be similar. There lots of extra things in there like all of the Dolby Atmos demo movies and such.

I do find it rather ironic that the only model/country with bootloader unlock officially available is also the only one currently without full update images.

We got outed on the US forum as well

Device State

Hello. I followed your steps to unlock the bootloader. I have the same "about phone" set up as you do. When i boot to fastboot mode under "device state" it shows "Locked". Did i miss something ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dennis96411:
Flashing the update only enables the option to unlock your bootloader. You will still need to follow the steps to actually unlock the bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Renato456:
So does anyone know. Will this work on the europeon variant?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
No.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] warofhero:
Connect your phone to your PC and type "adb reboot bootloader" then "fastboot oem unlock" in ADB console. You will see an unlocked prompt that ask you if you want to unlock or not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barsky:
Received my phone from Newegg today. I am still 100% stock, as far as this thread is concerned.

Phone had b20 on it out of the box. There is an update. Not sure if I should take it, as far as unlocking bootloader.

Also, before I do take it or do anything else, is there something you guys need from my phone? You already have a system.img, so not sure what else you need. Let me know.

Thanks for the great dev. You guys prevented me from cancelling my order :D
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
You have an update?

Can you Captured but don't install or finish download? And before you go unlock bootloader and Flash TWRP and all that can you PM?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barsky:
OK, I am an ass. Sorry for the noob false alarm.. it was an initial screen about updates. . I decided to click it and it says device is up to date (current version:A2700UV1.0.0B20).

I just didn't want to proceed in any way if I could have been of help. If I still can , just tell me how. Again,. false alarm, my bad. :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
LoL, no problem... I was like " :eek: really " , by the way are you planning on flashing twrp? By any chance?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Barsky:
I am planning to follow your guide to unlock, twrp and root. Just want to run the phone stock a day or so to make sure it is all ok after seeing the vocal folks with problems complaints. So far I seem to have a good chunk of aluminum and guts. :)

Something you need?

PS. All that talk about LG g2/g3/g4 gui...had all 3 of them. All I can say is xPosed and G*tweaksbox module rocked that stock gui :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
Just be aware that once you unlock, you won't get anymore OTA updates at the current moment, and there's not full factory images to fall back on. They will still try to push OTAs if anyone does this bootloader unlock method, but they will always fail due to version checking.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
That makes me a bit nervous not having a factory image like you do with Samsung and Odin in case things go south. But if it's a backup or secondary phone at half the price of most others then it may be less of a worry.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhint15:
My phone arrives today. Did you want me to request the official zte unlock and capture info as mentioned? I could care less about warranty so if it's useful I'll unlock via the official method just let me know.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TeutonJon78:
I think we actually have what's needed right now, although the devs doing the work could clarify that better. ATM, what will be needed is getting an OTA url for each new update. So once B21 rolls around, we'll need to get that B21_boot OTA as well, and so on. At least until/if ZTE alters how they do things. If there were going to restrict the unlocking, they should have gone the route of requesting a code and having it be a unified flash image, rather than this split up one.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabalLV:
Hi,

I'am failing to update SU binary. Tried flashing through TWRP, tried normal and scripted variant but it just fails and still shows that i need to update SuperSU binary. I have root because I'am able to allow root access to apps and ADB through developer settings, but I can't manage to get SuperSU working. And if I try to do scripted variant, not normal, then I even get bootloop for some reason. I even tried full wipe and step by step getting SuperSU working but still nothing.

I need to mention that in the logchat after flashing SuperSU zip, in one part it says:

*****Boot image patcher*****

- Finding boot image

--- Boot image: /dev/block/mmcb1k0p33

- Extracting ramdisk

- Decompressing ramdisk

--- Failure, aborting

Maybe there's some indicator of whats wrong ? I don't really know.

More info:

Moto X2 XT1092(latest victara nightly), TWRP(twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img), tried flashing SuperSU(UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323).

I hope somebody can help,

Thanks.

Why should you use SuperSU when CM integrates root in dev settings?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabalLV:
The hashtag root indicator wont be in status bar when i have my SuperSU working and there are multiple apps not working since my SuperSU is not up (Substratum, layers theme and more)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flipz77:
Are you trying to use layers with cm? :confused:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paiva1:
Same problem here. Same cellphone too, I tried to install SuperSU because a lot of apps don't work even garanting root access.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KabalLV:
Yes and it doesn't work without SuperSU and substratum too. Clean master power clean doesn't work too. I tried full unroot, then flashed root.boot image and right after that i flashed SuperSU 2.78 zip. No errors in logcat but bootloop after that.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flipz77:
I should have been clearer from the start... CM doesn't support layers/substratum. You have to use their Theme Engine if you want themes.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MrSmith22:
I read the wikis but now I am even more confused then before. Do I need Pandora kitchen to decompile? Can someone direct me to the specific application as I know it can be done. I wanted to extract some cab files from the Schaps ROM but not sure how to go about this.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chunkymonkey:
Use Pandora to build your own ROM from scratch, but use CorePro to work on a ROM you've downloaded and wish to add to (or cut down).

Remember that the only place you're likely to find cabs is in the extended ROM though - a ROM doesn't tend to contain cabs.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warmachine2k:
Greetings I recently made a tablet upgrade to a Galaxy Tab S AT&T (Model SM-T807A)

My previous tablet was a Galaxy Tab 3 AT&T (Model SM-T217A) and I found a YouTube video and showed me how to root the Tab3.

Currently the only videos I can find for the Tab S are all for Models SM-T800, 805 and one that says for the 807T (T-Mobile model)

but nothing concrete for the 807A . So I had a thought but had no luck in finding this; Can I install the SM-T800 version on my 807A

and have it ignore the cellular portion and have it be seen as just a WiFi variant tablet? If that's not possible can I use the SM-T805 version

since the 805 has cellular tech in it and make it work on my 807A tablet? My ultimate goal is to get this tablet rooted like my old one.

Thx for taking time to read this.

Edit: I browsed through my other tablet and realized i had used KingRoot on it but it won't in stall on the Tab S
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DBCAB:
kingroot will install on the tab s if you first allow installation of 3rd party apps in settings then when installing click the small lettering to lower left on the this wont install little window , and choose install anyway.

Course I have no idea if it will work to root that specific tab even if you do install it because I have a SM T800
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warmachine2k:
i am totally dense i did not notice that 'install anyway' was clickable, it rooted just fine. man i should have updated my post that was after two hours from when i made that post that i got noticed it was clickable, i got so happy i forgot about this post sorry :D

i would still love to be able to get this up to marshmallow but from what i have read AT&T is evil about giving access.

My current Phone is a Note 4.

I have always used Spigen screen protectors. The one on my Note 4 was applied almost 2 years ago and it only has minor scratches.

I noticed Spigen doesn't currently have a screen protector for the Note 7. Should I wait ? If not, is there a good alternative ?

Also the screen is curved. Does this mean the screen protector peels off from the sides ?

I ordered this after seeing a review on the best screen protectors on Phone Arena. It looks like the one in the photo unlike the posted review said in this link. I bought this before the review was posted, and when the phone arrives I will see how it fits. My only worry is if it will interfere with the Unicorn Beetle pro Case that I have.

[Note 7 Accessories] mberk29:
The Note 7 will be my first curved screen phone (upgrading from an S5) and I plan to get either an Otterbox or Spigen case for it. I had a screen protector for my GNex and hated it! Is a screen protector really necessary (or more necessary than non-curved screens)? Other than "necessity" what advantages do screen protectors add? I'm looking for some honest feedback since I have zero experience with curved phones.
[Note 7 Accessories] MACHEK:
Can you let us know when you review them please
[Note 7 Accessories] aburns7487:
Yes, I will gladly share my unbiased reviews of them once I get them. Waiting for the phone too...Sprint said they will ship on 8/17
[Note 7 Accessories] aburns7487:
I have received a slew of cases via amzreviewtrader.com

I have 6 cases so far with a bunch more in the way. Mainly from lesser known brands but I think some will do a great job.

Their is a myriad to try out. I used Versus Thor on my Note 4 & Versus Neo Hybrid (their frame is aluminum vs Spigen had plastic frame).

3 Screen protector kits (not tempura glass)

Skinomi

ArmorSuit

IQ Shield

Will share my results. After seeing that gorilla glass 5 scratch test on YouTube, I definitely want something. It's such a pain. Why can't they make something super difficult to scratch?
[Note 7 Accessories] Tiffany84:
So those of you that have experience with the Skinomi HD Clear screen protectors, I have a question for you. I bought this case for my phone:

Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - (562CS20403) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIUIFEI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_oNyTxbE3YE34X

Now this case is pretty minimal. Meaning it isn't very bulky and doesn't add a ton of protection. So with that being said, would the full coverage protector work or do I still need to go with the case friendly version? I'd appreciate any advice.
[Note 7 Accessories] allklrnoflr:
I had to get case friendly screen protectors for my S7 edge, pretty much all of my cases would lift the screen protector. I used IQshield and Skinomi full coverage on my S7 edge.

I also have the full coverage IQshield for the Note 7 and it's not installing very good. The edge is smaller on the Note 7 so the sides keep popping up. I have an Armorsuit case friendly that I will try soon.
[Note 7 Accessories] choosk:
I got the official screen protector with my note7 today at my local samsung store along with a bunch of other goodies in a cheap bundle.

the screen protector is film and not glass, but it's not flimsy, and is already pre-shaped to cater for the curve. it came with two in one pack.

the application was easy enough, as it came with dust stickers and a surprisingly high-quality hard-card with soft felt hemming on it for pushing out air bubbles.

it covers around 90% of the front glass panel, but still covers the whole display area itself, and reaches around the curves too, and is inconspicuous when put on properly.

definitely happy with it and will stick with this one until a really good quality curved glass protector comes out.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recvec:
Hello!

I have a bricked phone. When I got him, he was in a state "loaded to the screensaver and stop".

I decided to flash him using recovery (carliv touch recovery 2.2). Thanks to recovery I copied all the files from phone. But all my attempts of flashing were unsuccesful - I've got the errors while recovery did an unzipping.

That because I decided to use SP FlashTool. But I've forever got the same error 5069.

I notice, that I can format my phone and download the preloader. But it's all what I can.

What I tried (what i remember):

to load without and with battery;

to put a battery after beginning of flashing;

to flash with pushed power, volume control buttons - all together and alone

to use another system, cable and computer (2 cables and computers, windows and ubuntu);

to flash different versions (from off site);

to use different versions of sp flashtool

Also I found a video, where propose to do the backup of working phone (prestigio 3400) by MTK droid tool and try to flash this.

I would be very grateful if you help me. Thanks

How to get OS backup?

W10 build 10586
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] Dominating:
Just recently obtained a redmi note 3 and I am stocked with how good it is and how performance wise it feels like a top end phone.

However I have come to the realization of....

What the hell do you need a hexacore 3gb ram for just seems a bit overboard, can't imagine why or how to use it to all its advantage...

So.. What do you use yours for??

Almost thinking virtualisation of os's should be pretty viable!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] otyg:
well the way miui clears apps when you power off the phone the 3gb will probably never get utilized by the very aggressive app closing miui does, but I guess in some cases like custom firmwares (cm13) it would be possible to run a ton of apps without the system closing them down,

The phone only two cores that run at 1.8 ghz, and the other 4 run at 1.4 ghz -I believe- most apps only use two cores though, I guess some expertly coded game emulators or games can take advantage of the extra cores, possibly web browsers too..., the system also has a 500 meg swap file zram (I think they should of left the swap file out though since if the system uses that it will be slower access then the actual ram)

I know the performance of the 2gb and 3gb variants are about the same, but I just had to get the 3gb version since it has a 64bit os and it might take a bit more ram then a 32bit os would, and the 32 gb emmc is nice too, very fast 100+ mb/s wite/read - so even using a big sdcard to compensate wouldn't have near the speed of the built in 32gb storage memory :p

my main concern with this phone is the lack of exfat support, seriously sdxc has been out for quite some time now and exfat for android is open source (from samsung), or they could of used exfat fuse support as an alternative... sdcards over 32gb are going to need to be formatted to fat32...which is kinda ridiculous
