[MENTION=7890973]tennear[/MENTION] keep us updated. I'm planning to give up root in order to get this week's B08 update and i'm not sure if flashing the system with twrp will go smoothly.

Thank you for you work and dedication to help other people.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tennear:
I have two people that are able to help now. But more is always better. If you have a G model and you can access DFU (regardless if you are bricked or not), you can help test. Linux is my preferred OS, but I can also build for Win64 if needed.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
If you are Lock bootloader and have TWRP you CAN flash B08 , just need to mod. The updater_script in other for the B08 to be install, but YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO ROOT unless you unlock bootloader and I'll be posting something about that later today or coming days.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] razorsbk:
I'm rooted without unlocking bootloader (tenfar's method).

So you are saying I can flash the upcoming update safely from TWRP by editing updater script and removing getprop & assertprop lines from it?

I also have system modifications.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
Ok, I don't want to go off topic here, but YES you'll need to edit updater_script and look and bookmark if possible my thread about Updates ,I'll be posting B08 as soon the full update hits ZTE site. If you want to talk about Updates post there , so we can keep this thread on topic.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] razorsbk:
I agree. See you there.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Loader009:
I have a G model and I am using Linux (based on ArchLinux). I can use Windows 10 if needed, so OS should not be a problem.

So if you need some testing, I can help ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] shia786:
Hi, I would love to help,

I have a G model and I have TWRP and unlocked bootloader but u can access DFU mode

I am using windows
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tennear:
I'm afraid that I have not been successful getting out of DFU mode. I have tried several things, but the device refuses to switch into EDL mode.

According to the user who has a bricked device, he got bricked by running "axon7backup -d" without any image files present. The tool wrote something to both boot and recovery partitions. I don't know what that something is -- zeros, random data, ... who knows.

So it seems that if you are careful and only flash recovery properly, the device should not brick. But I cannot test -- someone else will need to confirm.

Now that this investigation is concluded, I will be posting my own tool shortly.

Always remember: to avoid bricking your device, never flash both boot and recovery at the same time.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
^^Is there even a reason to flash the boot/kernel? The main reason why most of us would use the axonbackup tool is to flash twrp.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DrakenFX:
The only reason why tenfar had the tool to Flash boot is because he had the boot sign and pre-rooted for Lock bootloader units.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
^^Got it. I thought about keeping the BL locked, but decided unlocking it would cause fewer headaches and be less restrictive.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tennear:
That is correct, there is no real reason to flash your boot partition now that the images provided by tenfar are not compatible with the latest updates from ZTE.

However, the real danger remains: if you run "axon7backup -d" with no files to write, it is reported to write bad data over both boot and recovery and brick your device.

I highly recommend using my tool instead. I can guarantee that it will never write both boot and recovery in the same session.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
The command help indicates -d is to dump only. My understanding is nothing is written to the phone when reading from it? Are you saying that's not the case?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tennear:
Yes, that is what I am saying. According to a PM that I received, the user ran "axon7backup -d" without any other files in the directory. The tool flashed something to both boot and recovery partitions. No idea what it flashed. But then the device was bricked. And because 2017g cannot enter EDL mode directly, there is no way to unbrick.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stoicho87:
hi i have china version of axon 7 A2017 and have the same problem with my device (stuck in dfu mode after Flashing SuperSU).Will there ever be a way to fix this problem? I am depered :crying:.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tennear:
I have tried many things to get the phone to switch from DFU mode to EDL mode. Nothing seems to work.

But I am surprised... I thought the China version can always enter EDL?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stoicho87:
this hapend when i have tried to flash SuperSu.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Controllerboy:
Have you tried everything? I.e.

- Full restart, push the power button for a longer time?

- Turn it off, hold both power buttons, insert USB cable in cellphone and then in PC?

- Turn it off, hold both power and volume up button to get into TWRP?

- Turn it off, connect to PC, go to folder where adb.exe is stored, open command, enter "adb reboot recovery"

- Turn it off, connect to PC, go to folder where adb.exe is stored, open command, enter "adb reboot edl"

- When you suspect you're in EDL, use Tennear's tool to reflash recovery?

Also, what does device manager in windows say?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stoicho87:
- (device restarts all the time)

- (dfu)

- (dfu)

- (error device not found)

- (error device not found)

- cant enter edl

device manager says> headset diagnostic interface(dfu) (com10)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] DeJe63:
To be honest I don't believe this. I think he called "axon7root" without something.

The backup program from tenfar works like charm if in EDL mode.

[MENTION=4464865]Controllerboy[/MENTION], no way. For the G model none of any HW buttons works to go into EDL. You end up in DFU, stock recovery oder fastboot. That's it.

As of now I enabled "allow BL unlock" in development settings. This at least enables external SD card update in stock recovery. Unfortunately this will not help users stuck in DFU mode. I do also have no idea if this setting survives a flash which leads to brick on the G model.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] billy_boolean:
Any update ?

I've got the same after installing superSu
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FifthAxiom:
Also bricked my phone

Same problem here by executing "axon7backup -d". Any solutions for this problem (DFU)? Thank advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Controllerboy:
I fear the only thing you can try is make up a story about your axon suddenly crashing while updating and sending it back. There is no solution for DFU.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] FifthAxiom:

Maybe making a deep flash cable could help you
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] t2jbird:
I tried that last night, but it just kept trying to charge and then going into DFU. It might be a problem with the cord, though, so I went ahead and ordered one. It won't be here until Saturday though.. I'll update back here.

I have litterally tried everything driver related, MSMDownloadTool, Namans OP3 unbrick tool (w/Axon 7 files). Nothing. I managed to get the phone to be recognized as QUSB_bulk, but that's about the only change.

I don't even know if the phone will charge to do anything though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bornlivedie:
please try with the cable first, lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Vurio:
This is ridiculous. I thought Qualcomm phones were unbrickable because of edl mode, but now this dfu mode nightmare. ZTE really has found a way to screw over developers.

Going through this thread it seems like most people brick their phones by keeping the bootloader locked or by relocking the bootloader. So if you want to mess around with your phone always unlock your bootloader!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] piet8stevens:
A2017G DFU -> Factory test mode

I am able to get my phone from DFU to factory test mode (FTM) by unplugging the USB connection and running down the battery. When I then start up with power and volume down, I get the blue ZTE sign. Then power + volume up -> FTM mode. adb devices then gives me a reply of '? device' . 'adb sideload ...img' gives me 'error: closed'. However, once I have FTM,, I can issue 'adb reboot edl' and then miflash sees my device. It now shows up in the windows device manager as the famous Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on a com port. I have this unlock package from the Windows 1.1.1 tool, and something seems to flash in miflash but not enough to get me out of trouble. Would anyone have the right firmware/ stock recovery etc... that works in miflash? (if possible with instructions as I am not familiar with miflash). Before I bricked it, my device was on B08. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you,

Piet

Edit: OK, I finally was able to unbrick my device by using the windows 1.1.1 tool to unlock my bootloader again (I had bricked by trying to lock the bootloader) while in FTM mode. That was the key: just stay in FTM and use the tool.!

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikkbutt:
sup guys

in the first place id like to say a big thankyou to all the people who spend so much time in developing for this amazing phone !

with the help of rudi666 i was able to set up my h960a until it is almost perfect for my needs.

it took me 4 weeks and 3 complete wipes to finally setup a killer custom phone. though its sad that this phone doesnt get more attention. its the best phone ive ever had, very fast, reliable, great screen and cam, killer sound, no bugs at all. with root and 200gb micro SD almost infinite possibillities !

since getting a bigger battery is obligatory for everyday work with this phone, i imported 2 ZL 9000ah from usa, cost me a lot of money (customs robbery) but now i have finally an amazing phone. rootet, flashed twrp, learned a lot about flashing, related commands and all this programming stuff i had no clue about in the first place.

but there is just one issue, the community seems unable to solve:

the insane hardcoded battery-capacity of 3000mah. even after 2 weeks of only getting into just this one problem, i found no way to solve this. no matter what i do, i cant bring the phone to read the 9000mah correctly.

instead, it behaves like many unsers mentioned:

round 1

100% goes down to 0%,

shuts off.

turning the phone on manually again, starts again with 65%.

getting down to 0 again.

turning on manually again, starting with about 8% again.

turning to 0% and now its finished. start to recharge using the LG charger with 2amps.

charging for the first time, phone shows 100% after ~1,5h.

in the first place i thought: oh, that was quick. plug off charger, started to use the phone,

and the battery-information went from 100 to 0 in no time. i was confused until i got deeper into it and finally learned that, unlike my samsung S3 i used with Cyanogen, the V10 is hardcoded with the stock-battery capacity of 3000mah.

with my samsung S3 i had Anker 7000? mah and NO probs at all, everything worked fine.

what i didnt know was, that even when the phone is charging and shows 100% after about 1,5h, it needs another 5-7 hours to charge completely to a "real" 100%.

so i tried EVERYTHING my humble capabilities allowed me to. no success.

i thought that many users have the same problem, and are tired of restarting the phone after just 1/3rd of battery power drained, all the information there is should be collected in one dedicated thread. i only could find spare spreaded information about this issue on XDA.

if anyone knows of a way to set the kernel-capacity manually oder any other solution, i would be really gratefull !

thanks/greetings from berlin germany
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikkbutt:
hello ? anybody dere ?
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikkbutt:
echooooOOOOOOOooooooo hello.

after a while of using and about 5x recharging from 10/20% to 100%

AccuBattery Pro shows the estimated capacity at 89XX mah, whats really close to the ZL 9000mah.

and ive noticed that the phone now endures up to 5 days normal usage in ONE session, so no restarting is necessary !

it seems, the phone learned the new bat capacity after a while and the hardcoded 3000mah dont seem to matter anymore.

so, problem solved.

cpuZ and other apps reading the kernel-info still show 3000mah but who cares. i got 5 days in one session.

so i guess this could help some people who also be confused about this issue.

i think ZL should put this information onto their site to inform people who got the same problem as i had.

ECHHOOOOOOOOO....
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] leetwanker:
I'm comfortable flashing phones and tablets, so that's not an issue. I'm just wondering what makes a custom rom better than the software that comes stock.

I'm buying the Moto G4 from ConsumerCellular for $150, btw. Same price as Amazon and, as far as I can tell, no lockscreen ads.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
It will come with the Consumer Cellular app but no ads and it is the 16GB model. The G3 Motos they sold were rootable so I'm guessing the G4 is also. As for the software, it's hard to beat stock for overall performance and battery life, especially if you root and tweak it a little.

Hello people, today I came with a question, I am looking for information on a navigation bar replacement, here is the short backstory.

I installed a rom for my moto, ( cant recall name, this is part of my problem but I think orion, cant recall the version, it was the one before substratum was added) every was perfect, but screen was giving me issues so I had the phone replaced, without even thinking about checking the rom name ( i delete files after dll)

such rom came with a feature I just love, it was a replacement for the nav bar, no buttons, nothing, it kinda look like always in fullscreen, and after setting it up, you could use the area of the screen where the nav bar goes, to for example swipe up for recents, d-tap for back, long swipe left to kill app...

also it leaves a trail while using it, just like the keyboard, and when you play music it shows in the same area a music visualizer, bars going up and down. ( I know some apps can do this too like muviz)

PLease if anyone know the name of the app/xposed/rom please reply or send me a message.

Thank you

Hi all,

I'm currently using Nova Launcher on a Galaxy S6 with Tesla Unread. When I have my Snapchat app in a folder (be it a folder on the dock or the homescreen) it doubles the notification count that displays for the folder (i.e. I have 2 snapchats, but the folder says 4). If I open the folder, the Snapchat icon says the correct number, and if the icon is on the home screen by itself it displays the correct number. The issue is that when it is the the folder, the folder notification displays as double.

Its slightly vexing. :confused: Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm trying to figure out what to get for my new Camry. I was/am interested in the Joying unit. I contacted them and asked which model they would suggest but they told me the Joying wouldn't fit my Camry. I don't understand why though. So I'm looking for some advice.

Like I said I love the Joying model and have watched a bunch of reviews online. I'd like something with physical buttons down the side and a volume knob if possible. Running full Android. I basically want to run Spotify and Youtube and Netflix. I'd be nice to have GPS built in as well.

post ur dashboard picture please
[MTCB Android Head Units General] doitright:
Well, remember that any MY2017 vehicle is still quite new. If the dashboard area around the radio is significantly changed from the previous year (check... is it?) then it may take some time for the aftermarket to catch up and make the part you are looking for. Even if it HASN'T changed, the companies that actually make dash kits (scosche, metra) may simply have not yet had a chance to update their websites showing that the older parts still fit. The chinese radio vendors go by the dash kit makers' websites to determine compatibility.

You generally can't go wrong with a standard DDIN radio, because the aftermarket will make THAT soon as they get around to it.

Hi, I am currently using Shuttle+ music player. Is there any way I can get it to recognize the next and previous buttons on my steering wheel? If not, can anyone suggest a music player app that can do this?

Do you have a Rockchip cpu?

If so, download this from the playstore.. for the dualcore cpu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.petrows.mtcservice&hl=nl

For the quadcore cpu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ws.petro.rk3188.headunit&hl=nl

It's a app for the Ownice C200 quadcore cpu, but you can try it.

Disable your default player... Go to settings, go to advanced settings, select apps, go to everything (swipe to the left), look for the the factory radio app and music player app. klik on it, select disable, klik on ok. the factory app won't start up again.

After that you can handle tracks with Jetaudio or Poweramp from you're steeringwheel.

Good luck.
