[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] corpdecker:
So, somehow ended up on B27, after acting like a monkey throwing poo at the wall until something stuck. I was on B20 using tenfar's recovery and boot.img with phh root, but didn't pass Safetynet checks (mainly wanted for Android Pay.) I was not able to decrypt the data partition in TWRP using any known password, so I backed up all my stuff with the phone booted, moved it off and started by using the fastboot oem unlock method that DrakenFX showed in his tutorial on unlocking the bootloader. Then I flashed the latest TWRP (3.0.2-2) thanks to Unjustified Dev using fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2.a2017u.img . I still was unable to decrypt the data partition. At that point I did a factory reset, so I booted to system and set up the basics again, still on B20. Then I grabbed the system.img from rczrider's mega.nz link and used fastboot to flash it with fastboot flash system system.img . I booted in to that and surprisingly it was (mostly) working and updated, but I noticed the fingerprint reader wasn't responding. I saw the notes about needing boot.img flashed for some stuff, so I grabbed the B27 boot.img from tenfar and flashed it from TWRP, along with Magisk_v6.zip and the helper zip from the main thread about Magisk. Once rebooted back to the B27 system, I verified fingerprints and wireless and such were working, then installed phh superuser from the Play Store and was able to verify I had root working. So, I'm on B27 with an (unofficially) unlocked bootloader, Magisk root and latest TWRP. I'm still not able to pass Safetynet checks and I got a permission denied error trying to install a systemless Xposed, but I'm content for tonight. I hope my tale of adventure can help someone, but please understand I'm an idiot, so if you follow in my footsteps, bad things might happen to your phone.

Tons of thanks to all those that are getting these files together and posting hints about how to do what.

I'm unable to use the system update app unfortunately. It keeps trying to put me back to 20_Boot since I signed up with ZTE for the unlock. Haven't found a way around this to install 27.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
probably someone else can jump in and light up a bit, i don't have my Axon 7 , i'll have it back till the weekend..... but ZTE were suppose to release full images, haven't they done that already by now?

P.S. does it say which mismatch partition fails?

you can download the update provided in this thread, i believe is in this thread and try applying it via stock recovery? just make sure to ENABLE OEM UNLOCKING under Developer Options.

After flashing the zip v20 you posted, here is the error during update:
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JeromeLeung:
That's it exactly
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] peramikic:
System is not stock. Most likley the TWRP modified it on exit. When flashing the system restore image, the TWRP has to be in read-only mode. So Under "Mount" uncheck system and put check mark next to "Mount systen in read only". Reboot TWRP and make sure the settings stick. Now restore System image, stock boot and stock recovery. Reboot to recovery from TWRP, that should put you back in stock recovery. Wipe cache from here and reboot. You should now be able to OTA provided none of the other partitions are modded
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] JeromeLeung:
I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the input
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
This worked perfectly for me. I didn't need to wipe cache from stock recovery, though. Now unlocked bootloader on b27. Just need to re flash Twrp and we're in business. Thanks so much guys!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] charlie.s:
I flashed this and recovery does not revert to stock. Indeed, when I look at the contents of the zip, it has a file that is labeled TWRP, so how does this get me back to stock recovery?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
Here you'll find stock recovery.

factory reset

booted phone (had wifi and radios all working)

quickly went through menus

downloaded update 27

installed (phone rebooted and installed system update)

It installs and boots yay

powered off

used tenfars tool (b27) to install recovery(twrp) ( http://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204 )

booted to twrp - factory reset then wiped data

all is good in the world

Can the same method work on b27 to get root? Just curious
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] thjoca3:
I would think so, just using tenfar's b27 boot and recovery, is pretty much what I did.

I wouldn't be in such a hurry to go to b27. The mic problem got worse instead of better.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] pklee:
Thanks! this works perfectly, I was rooted with TWRP on B20_Boot.

Booted in into TWRP, made sure system was unchecked in mount and check mount system read-only. Rebooted to check if the flags persisted. Backed up, wiped data-cache-dalvik, flashed the zip. Rebooted, check for update, applied OTA. Then fastbooted flashed TWRP and flashed SU. I'm glad to report i'm now on B27 and everything is work without any issues :) :good:

[MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION], is it technically possible to upgrade to B27 without losing data (after we've done your process in OP)? If yes, I can wait another week, otherwise I'll start getting ready for the hours of reinstalling :eek:

Battery got much better for me, fingerprint scanner works much faster. Score on AnTuTu is not as much as before, but better on geek bench.

I didnt notice any changes until I did a factory reset/wipe. So for all the people who are having problems, try a full factory wipe and start from scratch.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
[MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] does the A2017U have an VoLTE option in the MiFavor settings? Just curious because...

I'm on the A2017G when I search for VoLTE in the settings I can see "VoLTE calling" found but when I click it to jump to the settings menu where its supposedly located there is nothing.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] xtermmin:
On A2017U, Settings > More > VoLTE voice calling. No settings for it, just On or Off.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] celoxocis:
AFAIK the search option runs through the settings XML file. Looks like they removed it from the settings menu but not from the XML file.

Thanks for the info. so VoLTE hasn't been made available for the A2017G but is supported by the A2017U. As long as the frameworks supports it and CM will pickup the framework later on we should be fine.

Or could baseband/firmware play a role in that feature?

Edit:

Just confirmed with a dev. Baseband/Firmware needs to support VoLTE too.

So one more feature the European/International version is missing compared to the US version.

I feel like ordering the US Version.

Anyone know a good shop that ships A2017U to Europe?

[MENTION=1001089]XblackdemonX[/MENTION] Would you be willing to share a step by step guide to updating to B27 without losing your data? I've been following the threads for a week now since the update but I haven't seen anybody else able to update from B20 rooted locked to B27 rooted locked without losing all their data. I had originally rooted using tenfar's tool and mmamedov's step by step walkthrough. Thank you!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] peramikic:
Well the data loss might be inevitable if the crypto chain is broken. The most successful way i see this is with flashing the B27 update zips from DrakenFX and then flashing tenfars B27 boot image. hopefully with his image the chain stays unbroken.

So grab the zips for your U version from here

http://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484

Skip wiping /data (still might need this in the end) and flash both BootStack and System then without rebooting flash the B27 rooted boot image. wipe cache. This will put you on proper B27 (with all firmaware partition updated as well) with rooted boot image.

Yeah, Not happy they changed the images but it will do until something better comes out.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] flyinglow:
yeah... it does seem to scratch rather a bit too easily. At least (so far on mine) the screen doesn't have the same scratchability as the back:fingers-crossed: . Maybe sony will release some carnauba based polish when support folks start suggesting that the little fine scratches will just buff out...
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] Kianush:
so anyone could get a glass panel for the back of this phone? anything to put there might do the job actually
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] makingmark:
Glossy plastic is highly underrated. It looks good and is light and cheap. Won't shatter like glass, less slippery than metal, and the inevitable scratches are...quickly and cheaply repaired to bring the surface to like new condition. How? take a minute to apply a little wax polish with a soft cloth and rub until dry.

I have used Novus Fine Scratch Remover (#2), but I would think car wax would work just as well. I removed some marred patches from when I dropped the phone on hardwood floor and it skidded a bit, and not only did those patches disappear, but so did the fine scratches.

I don't think this would be wise for the screen, however, as it would probably harm the oleophobic coating.
[Sony Xperia X Compact Guides, News, & Discussion] bofis:
This is why I put stickers on the back (and eventually sides) to protect the phone, and also make it less slippery in my hands, you can see some photos here:

I have an O2 XDA II2 with camera button not working (it needs to be

replaced) and with missing SD (I tried a 1GB Sandisk and 512MB Maxell).

I'd like to update to wm6 but after reading the nice guides in this site now I

know that I need that button during the process (...Quickly press "Record"

& "Camera" before the versions appear at bottom right OR press "Power"

& "Camera" & "Record" buttons and Reset at the same time...)

My hope is that upgrading SD will work again.

So the question is: is it possinle to avoid the use of camera button?

In some forum I red that a missing driver (cab file in ext rom) should cause

problem with sd access: is it true?

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] B3nGz:
Hi Gianni.

If you are upgrading to WM6 from a lower version, i dont think you need a CAMERA button.

All you need to do is download a WM6 (Helmi, PDAViet, Xplode) and set the BA to SERIAL mode by holding down power button + record button(the one above camera) + soft reset.

The step will bring you to serial mode and then you can connect the BA to the computer. The BA will then change from SERIAL mode to USB mode.

Now you can install the WM6.. =D

Hope it helps.. for atleast it works for me.. without the cam button
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] B3nGz:
oh btw..

the method of : Power button + Soft reset then Record + Camera

this is for hard reset. not upgrading..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] giovgall:
Ok, but I need to press RECORD+CAMERA+RESET at the end of the upgrade

process to get an hard reset and RECORD and CAMERA to select and set

the right values for

It should be necessary as far as I know.

Isn't it?

Thanks for your help,

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] B3nGz:
hi Gianni,

you NEED NOT hard reset..

Skip everything and just proceed to -> Power button + Soft reset then Record + Camera

Proceed to put BA in dock after seeing Serial, and install wm6 after serial changed to USB..=)

Enable KITL -> NO

Clean Registry Hive -> YES

Format Storage -> YES

This is for hard reset, not required for installing new firmware, because by installing a new firmware = hard reset already.. LOL

You TF103CX has an Intel Atom CPU so it can run Windows and a I suspect a special version of Android to use that cpu. The TF701 has an ARM cpu.
