sometimes my camera gets green xcu (zim told me fix but i cant try it right now i need tester but no one replied)

Are u facing this proplem

Or can u fix it ?

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Because as i remeber u fixed the cam

So any clever solution
[Galaxy Grand Prime Themes and Apps] Vhenishkhy:
I fixed it and its working. I dont face green camera.

Just flash the XCU1BPB1

Then TWRP.

Get the stock files (posted on the ss) use root and es file explorer

Wlan.ko on system/lib/modules

Thermal engine system/bin

The two camera files on system/vendor/lib

Place it on a folder on sd card

Install J5 rom

Flash Gapps

Apply all battery saver like fix cpu load and disabling the ims settings etc.

Flash battery fix

Put the wlan.ko and other files on the same destination

Except the wlan and thermal engine need to replace

Then go to camera fast change the camera into 8mp

Then flash the camera fix by simbamalaka i dont know if his work but ive downloaded the camera fix.

It will work.

Ive been using this room. So smooth and fast. Only prob is the quality of the cam.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
What does disemmcwp do and why should I do it?

disable emmc (internal storage) write protection is what allows changes to system (such as AdAway) to stick with reboot. You need to run this before your changes will stick. You don't have to use TWRP (you could also use a terminal emulator or ADB), but I find that since you have to reboot anyway, it's just as easy to do it in TWRP.

I only see B27 files and not B29. Help!

If you're in any of the threads referenced in the OP that only have files marked as B27, you can use those even if you're on or upgrading to B29. If the thread has B29 files, use those.

Fastboot can't find my device.

If fastboot oem lock returns <waiting for device> or fastboot devices doesn't show anything, the most likely culprit is that Windows is using updated ADB drivers and you need to roll back. You can do this via Device Manager > right-click Android Device (or Kedacom USB device) / Android Bootloader Interface > Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick... > Choose older version (in this case, v9)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
For #3, you might want to emphasize that only TWRP is needed, and that people can skip flashing a boot.img. I've seen people who want to unlock their bootloader asking where to find the modified boot.img for B29, which isn't needed.

And of course, thanks for the guide!

It will be good to post also the steps to lock it again, in case that we need to send the phone for warranty. Because this method does not void warranty, does it?

I think that it is only to push the backup fastboot and 'fastboot oem lock'

I have set up my phone now (with fingerprint security) and want to make a full backup in twrp. Is it true, that i must disable fingerpint and/or pin before i make an backup because when i restore backup with security enabled, that the phone was locked?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Also it would be nice a guide how to go back to stock and update to latest OTA.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Yes you must disable your screen lock due to the encryption issue in MiFavor. If you do not disable your screen lock and restore your data, your pin/password/pattern would become wrong and your only option would be to factory reset. Fingerprint would still work but I wouldn't risk it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
I've updated the OP with the relevant information. I haven't done it myself so I can't say what the exact screens are, but the steps should be pretty close and you should be able to figure it out.

If no one confirms (or corrects) the steps as I've written them, I'll go through the process before installing CM and update the steps to more accurately describe the process.

[MENTION=6699128]rczrider[/MENTION]

I have tested the back to stock steps for you on the US model and for now those steps do not get you back to stock. I have wiped the right things and flashed the StockSystem zip multiple times but twrp lives through the wipe and StockSystem install. I'll try to get it working and report back.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] baconboy:
Thanks for the great guide!

So, if I do this, no OTA updates. Can I just download the updates and flash them? Are they available anywhere? Or no updates, period, right now?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
I was under the impression that [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION]'s StockSystem zip would overwrite boot, but I could be wrong in that. Have you tried doing the same process, but manually replacing recovery using [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION]'s tool and your own original recovery image?

If you don't have your original recovery, it (among other files for B20 and B27) can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/untouched-b20-boot-recovery-files-t3443818

Correct, no updates at all for the moment. As it stands, I believe we would need a modified/merged full zip that included the OTA's content. You definitely won't be able to receive OTAs officially.

I'm trying to re-lock the bootloader, and I followed the instructions, and the phone itself is working fine. I'm on stock recovery and I was able to use the system update in the phone to get upgraded to B32. However, my bootloader is still unlocked. I tried to re-lock it following the instructions, but I can't seem to boot to the bootloader via recovery. I tried via adb as well 'adb reboot recovery'. It just reboots the phone. What am I doing wrong?

I tried to download the axon7toolkit to see if I could use this to fix by bootloader reboot issue, but even if I disable windows defender on my win10 machine, it keeps deleting it, and saying it's a virus. It's like it will never let it download - even when I killed defender via task manager.

Any tips?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
well once defender finds the file, it will say something like 'Click to take action' or whatever. It'll take you to the quarantined items screen where you can select to ignore the file. happened to me
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ro_bro:
Odd, when I tried it, I get no option. It automatically deletes the file. I tried about 10 times. Some other random time, chrome itself will disallow it from being downloaded (so I had to try w/ firefox, but again to be thwarted by defender, which I swear I turned off!)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] marcdw:
What about downloading it on the phone and copying it to a flash drive. Hopefully Defender won't trigger when you copy the file to the computer.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ro_bro:
Thanks for the thought - but when you try to install it, it recognizes it and deletes it. I guess it's a nice 'feature'. But I gave up. The only reason I was trying to lock it was to give it to my dad, and I didn't want to have him see the initial unlocked bootloader message on boot. But it can take OTA updates, and otherwise it's stock, so I guess I'm fine. I'll try to address it later if there's anything wrong w/ the phone. Not sure why ZTE removed fastboot and made this phone so hard to work with for Android enthusiasts.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Orlando1193:
[MENTION=6699128]rczrider[/MENTION]

I thought that just flashing the stocksystem zip would have had me back to stock as well. I flashed the B27 stock recovery you posted with [MENTION=540283]tenfar[/MENTION]'s tool using the flash recovery only command and that did it. After flashing the stock recovery I followed the rest of the steps that you have and everything seemed to work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] NadavCE:
Looked through the thread and didn't find an answer - if I don't want to stay stock (I want to flash CM), do I still need to do step 6?

Thanks again, but not getting future updates is a dealbreaker. Let's hope things get easier with time!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] silverxbv2:
Rooting has always meant not receiving OTA updates until pretty recently with magisk and systemless root. But it doesn't mean you can't get updates at all. It usually just requires flashing back to stock, accepting the update, repeat root process. Or someone taking the OTA update and making it a flashable rom
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] baconboy:
I don't mind flashing an update ROM, but those aren't available. And I don't want to waste my life reflashing back to stock then rerooting! I'm sure something easier will come along soon.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
Thanks for the feedback! I'll update the OP.

I don't think so. You should only need an unlocked bootloader and TWRP to flash CM.

I take from your responses in this thread that it was unclear that this thread didn't offer a ROM? Because not being able to take OTAs is extremely common when rooting your phone; it's not limited to the Axon 7.

Perhaps I should make it more clear for people like you who are brand new to rooting smartphones? That this thread does not offer a ROM?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] baconboy:
No you silly Billy, I know this thread is has no ROM. I was just wondering if - like with my Zenfone 2 - I could flash an updated stock ROM as they're released on the day of the OTA, but apparently they aren't available for the Axon 7, so I'll wait until they are until I root.

Thank you for the guide!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
Ah, if the Zenfone 2 is your only experience, I can understand why you're confused. ASUS is one of the few (though not the only) manufacturer that will unlock your bootloader (voiding the warranty) and release full images with each update. They're in a group of exceptions, not the rule.

It appears the Chinese variant has full images, and perhaps ZTE USA will go that route eventually, as well. I don't know that they feel any pressing reason to do so given that they're working with CM to produce a non-stock ROM, but it does seem strange that they would have released the B20 image and will never release another. If you're only willing to go through a process like what's available with the ZF2, though, you should probably settle in for a bit of a wait. I would be surprised if they do any more until Nougat. Furthermore, if they decide to stick to their guns about the warranty being voided and update the bootloader with Nougat, you may be stuck not being able to do anything until a dev finds a way around it.

Personally, it makes more sense to unlock now, root, and update to the latest (and probably last) MM ROM. To each their own, though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
Question: if I'm rooted using tenfar's method but without unlocking the bootloader, I've made some system modifications (adaway, xposed, Nify) and I want to go back to stock without TWRP, is it safe just to flash the full update.zip from Zte website?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jawz101:
For the instructions when moving back to stock, would it not be better to instruct use of the files within the OEM provided update.zip?

When ZTE makes anything availabe themselves, would it not be prudent to use factory files- even if it means we have to recreate the zip ourselves. I'd rather tell someone they're getting the files directly from ZTE versus a copy?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] baconboy:
Thank you for your in-depth reply! If what you say is true, I might just unlock and root now. But how do I update to the latest MM ROM afterwards?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
Do you have to install the zte drivers?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
I haven't tried to restore from the ZTE-provided zip, so there are three options:

Flash the zip in TWRP

Restore stock recovery, rename the file "update.zip" and place it in your SD card root, and reboot into recovery

Restore stock recovery and boot into it, and use the "apply update from SD card" (or similar) and navigate to the file on your phone

Try it and let us know if it works! If so, let me know exactly what you did and I'll update the OP.

I'm not sure there are going to be any more MM updates, though that's pure speculation. I personally think the next release by ZTE US will be Nougat - and that it will be this month or in December. The EU variant supposedly isn't getting Nougat until January, though, so I could be wrong. The US/NA variant seems to have a better (or at least bigger) development team than the EU variant.

If there is another MM update, I don't think it will require a wipe of data to install. Worst case, we'll have to wait a day or two for one of the devs to tweak it (probably generating a full stock image) that we can dirty flash over what we have now.

You shouldn't need the ZTE drivers, just the Qualcomm drivers for EDL mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
OK this is what I see under com ports. Had to add it manually using the legacy option. If don't do this i will not see the ports option on device manager. Do you have to be on a b20 or b27 ROM to get the port option to work? Right now I am on b29.

Sounds like you've got some reading to do. This thread does not outline every little step (eg. how use tenfar's tool to flash TWRP), just the general steps for getting from point A to B. You're going to have to spend a little time reading the first post of any thread you're directed to.

If it's showing up as Android ADB or anything like that, you're doing it wrong. EDL mode doesn't allow for ADB or fastboot, AFAIK.

"3. Backup your boot and recovery (just in case) using the tool found here: http://xdaforums.com/axon...okced-t3441204"

Again the same page I've downloaded the tools and it contained .img and .exe files which I have no idea what to do with. I'm not lazy I swear lol.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
No. With your phone off, hold Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and plug your phone into the computer. It will not turn on, but you should hear the sound in Windows of a device being plugged in. If you open up Device Manager, you should see your device listed with a COM port identified. Your phone will still appear off.

You follow the instructions in that thread. There are no instructions in this thread for what to do with the tool. You have your recovery image in the same folder as the tool, run the tool, and type out the commands listed in that thread.

What, specifically, are you hung up on?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
So this procedure is to just find the com port correct?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rczrider:
The COM port is set when you first plug in the phone while it's in EDL mode.

You can only flash TWRP when in EDL mode. tenfar's tool only works in EDL mode. In order for tenfar's tool to work, you need to specify a COM port.
