[MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION] that sounds good, something to look forward to most definitely. I love LOS 14.1 but couldn't handle the constant reset's every 15-30 min

BTW, I needed the info for the Kirin950, not the Krein 950... I think that's a Porta potty if in not mistaken =)

(in reference to the misspelled word from my previous post)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
I hope so after my last conversation with Huawei and honor I thought it's hopeless...

No info and no will to release it..

Only we are aware of the open source problems...

Thx for you info and looking forward
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faeArai:
What I don't really get: Huawei has to release the kernel sources because of GPL. There is no other ways. So what is wrong with them?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
Right but doesn't interests Huawei

[MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION]

Do you have any new news regarding a release?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XePeleato:
He said 'by the end of this month' just a week ago...
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
I am still able to read:)

I am referring to the fact that he told us, he should know more soon.:good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] svetius:
I just followed up with my Honor contact, will let you know what she says.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] brljak83:
Hii [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION]

Just wanted to know is there anything you know by now

Did your contact say anything by now

Thanks
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
Honor released today, kernel source code for another device dli a10 the first emui 5.1 Android 7.0 code.

Maybe they will release also for the h8 anytime soon..

But I am not really looking forward..but let's hope:good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] brljak83:
Nice news

Thanks for the news share

I am also hoping for the source code to happen

Actually I am waiting for the promise to happen for all the

things they have said that they will do for our Honor

Or if they are not going to do it they

should say it

So that we stop hoping

Couse many owners of H8 bought the phone couse of the

Huawei partnership
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] faeArai:
This was exactly the reason I bought my H8. I read that the Chinese companies don't release sources and was about to order a BQ phone. Then I read about the partnership and cancelled my BQ order... What a shame.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
Yes shame

The others are releasing sources and lineage OS is official

My next phone will be the one plus 5 or the one plus 3T

Never mind guy, until then let's wait a little bit more:silly:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Can you post a link to this source?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] svetius:
They said they're still on track for end of May release or early June.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] brljak83:
Thanks for the info

Well, all we can do now is wait for like one more month

Hope they do what they say
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:

Thx, its a snapdragon device.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
Yes you are right, this is the reason why they released the kernel so fast... Waiting for kirin kernels:good:
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
Looks like you were right with another month:laugh:

End of mai won't happen
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
Atleast something happens now. Does this mean finally custom rom support?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] XePeleato:
What do you mean with 'custom rom support'? With this they are complying with their legal obligations.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
It will if we are patient :)
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon Lambra:
i always thought that releasing kernel sources, means that you can build your own custom firmware with it which is bugfree or has better features/removed useless features.

what does it mean then? can we expect an atleast modified firmware where notifications are working properly and with a good battery life?
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dimontiman:
You don't understand the point...

Sure it makes ROM development possible and easier

But this shouldn't be something special... Huawei has to release kernel sources since Android is open Source.. They don't release because of ROM but because they have to.

Maybe you understand now the point.
[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] OldDroid:
XePeleato has it running right now on non-chinese Honor 8.

And maybe it runs on P9 aswell, who knows?

[Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] FreeLineTM:
Couldn't we have used the P9 source if H8 source runs on it?

So i receive many questions about this via PM and other topics as i have a good contact with ZTE so i thought I'd create one where you guys can post your comments.

Ive raised this topic to them and they are discussing it. I will keep this main post updated with what i hear.

Update 05/01/17

Official Bootloader Unlock is coming. It was delayed through there not being a great process to release it and the various updates the ZTE have provided to fix bugs. I am still on a root version of b03 and there is a stock b09 version currently. However, the root version i was given is great and works flawlessly. Ive been promised that another root release is coming very soon and will become official.

Potential EU Bootloader Unlock - Needs testers! Thanks [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION]:

Why did USA get a bootloader unlock?

> The phone has been released to the open market there and under USA law they can remove the warranty if a bootloader is requested. From what i have read/understand in EU they have to commit to their warranty no matter what.

> It was all decided hastily internally within the USA team without contacting the worldwide team, neither had a clue of what each other was doing, but due to my efforts it looks like they are communicating.

> ZTE promise they dont want to discriminate.

What is happening with the EU?

It is coming. You wont lose warranty.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Starvirus:
i got my Axon 7 today in germany from Saturn and in the dev menu i had the option for OEM Bootloader unlock, i thought european weren't supposed to have that?

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
It's on all phones. It doesn't do anything.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
Even doesn't do anything on his own when enable, is needed when official bootloader unlock arrive.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Starvirus:
thought a fastboot oem unlock would suffice, but didn't try it yet.

But that they kept that option there is just pure torture :(
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jpde:
What ZTE should realize regarding the bootloader unlock is that they have 2 options to build trust with the customers, especially considering last year's Axon has not received Marshmallow and will not receive Marshmallow (at some point customer service said it would, which makes the whole thing even worse).

Either let people unlock the bootloader and provide long term software support through the dev community or promise updates for at least 2 years. Buying what is essentially a flagship device (and *the* flagship of ZTE) and then possibly not receiving anything beyond Nougat (which I expect them to deliver at the very least because of Daydream) would be a huge letdown. I can accept that with <200€ phones, whose hardware probably doesn't really hold up anyways after 2 years, but I expect more from a 400€ phone that is the top of the line from that brand. This holds true especially considering that the other two big competitors in the same price range (the OP3 and the Honor 8) do provide at least one of those assurances. So far, the Axon 7 does not and that's worrisome given both some of the flaws in the current software (notification bell, video playback issues etc) and their own history with last year's Axon.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Bad news but it is starting to look unlikely in Europe that we will get a bootloader unlock. They will try to give us an official confirmation via social media soon.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Condoz:
Oh well, they better rethink this or OP3 it is. Been on the edge the whole time. But wanted to give it a go due to the cool hardware. I can still cancel that order on the Axon and will probably do that as soon as this get official.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Keiler90:
Please help me.

We have the US version with the 20B update from which you can unlock your boot loader with the 20B_boot update.

One guy has flashed the b02 version for the Europe devices on his A2017U US phone. Correct?

Can't we flash the 20B version to our Europe A2017G phones and unlock them with the 20b_boot version?

Can't we check which files and how the boot update changed the boot loader and do it some way manually on our phones?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] TeutonJon78:
Not really -- the OTAs are block level patches, not file patches. Someone would have to dump and compare the partitions before and after. The system image would probably be easy, fastboot is provided as a full image, but for the other images (boot and recovery), you'd have to dive into the assembly and/or tear apart the kernel.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Vipeout:
I'm actually kinda glad they decided to **** europe over with the bootloader. I was on the fence whether to buy the P8 Plus or wait for the Axon 7.

Now I don't have to worry about this anymore, ZTE made the decision so much easier :)

The P8 has the better battery and camera anyhow. Cheers to everybody
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rikin93:
Thats your choice.

The Axon 7 has better screen and sound anyhow which matters to me. Pretty solid phone for the price even without an unlocked bootloader. Theres already root so cant really complain, what do you expect for a £360 phone! :D

They didnt really **** europe with the bootloader, it was never guaranteed or announced. But glad your decision is made easier.

The 3 year warranty with the axon 7 was too good to pass on :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Mash87:
Giving one group a choice and deny this choice to another group, that's ***ing one group over IMHO
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Vipeout:
All valid points. But no unlocked bootloader = no custom roms = no buy, simple as that.

Especially with a company with a bad or at very least doubtful reputation to provide software updates for a reasonably long/adequate period.

But as you say, that's my choice. And from what I can tell many others will make the same choice. Owning an Android is all about freedom of choice and customization, especially for people her on XDA (obviously). I do like the phone but I don't necessarily like the software on it, or at least not all of it.

I would go for the One+ 3, but no SD card slot = no buy.

I have owned enough android phones to know what I consider essential features and I buy my phones accordingly.

And I actually consider a 1440p screen on a phone a slight negative due to increased power consumption while I gain nothing with higher pixel density (not interested in using mobile VR).

Sound is better, true, but I listen exclusively with headphones so nice speakers are a bonus. My Bluetooth speaker still has better sound ;)

This.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jpde:
I think 1080p is an absolutely fine resolution for 5.5", but 1080p PenTile? Eh. Not quite hitting the mark for me.

With the absence of rikin93 I'm starting to wonder if it was all setup just to boost sales on the european model. I so regret buying this phone now.

I came from a HTC M8 (and hat and One X and HD2 before that) so I'm used to exelent ROMs. Compared to those phones this phone is a joke.

Hope community development can do something for this phone, although being on B05 even that might be questionable since theres nu unlocked bootloader for B05

Cheers,

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] sk0o:
Same thing for me. I also had a M8 with a custom rom. Now I'm hoping that there will somehow be a way to flash U model roms to G model phones. I think thats the only way for us EU people to benefit from the US zte develop department.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bonk3rzzz:
Rikin replied on another thread today so he is active. I guess the development is slow or stalled on ZTEs end so don't discredit anyone's effort to try and do something as he did initially.

On a different note, I believe we need to set something in motion to get an EU forum like the US one. Once there is an official channel of feedback everything should fall in place.

I stand corrected. Sorry for my remark, I shouldn't have.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] rootkowa:
I guess I have no good news..

I reached out to the official Facebook Account of ZTE Germany and asked them about bootloader unlock and a community board. This was their answer:

"Hallo Alex,

laut unseren Informationen ist eine deutsche Community/Forum geplant, wann diese allerdings live geht, dafür liegt jedoch noch kein Termin vor.

Ein Bootloader-unlock ist für die europäische Version aktuell nicht geplant, sollte sich diesbezüglich etwas ändern erfährst du es auf unserer Facebookseite.

LG Dein ZTE Facebook Team"

Roughly translated, they said an European community is in their scope but they don't have any date.

And, more importantly, there is no plan to unlock the bootloader in the European version.

Very sad to hear.. I think this will be my last Axon Phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] paatha13:
Well ZTE not even capable delivering software upgrades to EU version so demanding official bootloader unlocked is totally science fiction to them.

At very very best the only thing will get is Android N (at unknown time) and that's it.

They don't interesting for European market.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nsane:
We don't need an "official" bootloader unlock procedure. The unofficial unlock method works perfectly fine.

If you need to send the phone for warranty, all you need to do is first "relock" the bootloader.

There is no issue with "unlocking" the bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Eddyedje:
Sadly not for me.

After installing the required drivers (Qualcomm), tenfar's method simply does not work. My windows 7 will see the phone on a COM port, but when I try either Axon7root or Axon7backup using the required syntax, it tells me it can not see the phone and the programs terminate.

It's rather frustrating to see that ZTE will not grant users of the A2017G an official unlocked boot-loader (though, what happened with rikin93?)

Might be a warrantee issue, as mentioned earlier in this thread, but still. I'd happily sign a waiver if that would mean I could unlock my phone.

I don't even 'need' a rooted phone for things like custom ROM's as such, though it would be nice. But for a firewall, and an SSH tunnel, it requires root privileges.

Up until now, there aren't any working 'one click root' applications for the ZTE Axon 7 that I am aware of,

Owning a phone without root for me is like owning a computer without administrator rights in case of Windows, or an accessible root account in case of Linux.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Filiprino:
Well, you guys can post a comment on the website you bought the phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nsane:
Try again on a different computer. Surely, you must know someone with a laptop.

Your problem is not with your device but with your computer.

There are no reported failures in unlocking the bootloader. The unofficial procedure works.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] iNaruX:
It's very important to note that they said it is not planned "currently" and if there will be any updates in that regard he should check back their facebook page ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] vizzze:
Sadly this is what they wrote to me:

Dear Andrea,

the next Firmware Update will be released end of november.

The bootloader will not be unlocked at the european version of Axon 7.

BW Your ZTE Facebook Team

Just wondering what really happened after [MENTION=7558918]rikin93[/MENTION] tried the bootloader unlock...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
That's just not true with the A2017G.

There are quite a few of us who's phone have become stuck in DFU mode. I've personally messaged quite a few of them and all of them had to make warranty claims, there is no known fix.

If there is any way to "kick" the phone out of DFU mode I'd love to hear it since for over a month now I've had an entirely nonfunctional Axon 7.

[MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION] are you aware of anything that can be done or is it simply a case of waiting for ZTE to release the full device firmware to perform an emergency firmware download to return the phone to service?

Also while I'm aware of the issues at Cyanogen Inc the actual Cyanogen modders have still yet to gain the kernel to begin an official release.

Which without an unlocked bootloader won't be able to be flashed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Googhga:
Just added my two cents in the ZTE forum aswell. Make yourselves heard guys!

Gesendet von meinem ZTE A2017G mit Tapatalk
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dragonfet:
Please read the entire thread before posting wrong information to other people. I am one of those people that reported it did not work on their phones. We end up in DFU instead of EDL mode and flashing boot+recovery at the same time will end up in a hard brick.

Which is impossible when all your phone does is flash a ZTE logo for a splitsecond and then light a red LED. No access via adb, no recovery, no bootloader, no boot.

There are apparently at least two different versions of the A2017G, one of which has these issues and the other that behaves like the A2017U. So for me, after the first time ever to brick a phone I won't try again, and I'm now stuck with all the non-root issues like bad game controller support and having a list of things I'm allowed to do on my device and another for what I'm not. Kudos to ZTE for bringing up our hopes before bailing out again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] StoneTrapper:
And then there are those of us with this same strange revision who are not able to get warranty services whatsoever.

No one is prepared to fix my phone, under warranty or otherwise. so what are my options?

My retailer refers me to ZTE and ZTE have no interest whatsoever other than to say it's not their problem. Unfortunately It's reaching a point now where I'm going to get creative just to get a working phone.

All it needs is for ZTE to release the full firmware for their firmware flasher to allow an emergency recovery and I can't imagine why they wouldn't.
