Thank you for the reply.

It doesn't works for me with the B08 version but i will try with the B09 version.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alohahe3000:
You´re right. Same for me. axon7tool was working, but after flashing recovery I just got a blank screen. I tried all recoveries mentioned above, updated to B09, but still the same.

Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rouzette13:
I try with the B09 but i have the same problem.

I download an other twrp but it is the same problem.

The programm axon 7tool stop.

I try to read command in instead write and it works. I have a problem with the write command.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Little of a problem here...

While trying to install TWRP i followed the procedure but since my device was not listed as QUSB_BULK i was not able to run the command "axon7tool -r gpt boot recovery"

Always gave : not connected - failure

So, while my phone was still connected in edl mode i reinstalled the drivers with ZADIG.....the phone is appearing as QUSB_BULK now but i am lost my device in adb....

I can not reconnect, nor any command like reconnect will do...

I have tried to restart the phone but no luck...

Anyone can help with this ?

EDIT : SOLVED : did hold the power button (usb unplugged) for around 20 sec and it started again....:cyclops:

Will try again with QUSB_BULK

EDIT2 : managed to install TWRP on B08. In my case i definitely needed the ZADIG program (http://zadig.akeo.ie/) to replace the drivers. In this program you can do this by listing the devices and replace the drivers of your listed phone. After that you will see that your device is listed again but now under USB devices as QUSB_BULK. When so, installing TWRP is no problem. Thanks to [MENTION=4464865]Controllerboy[/MENTION] !

Will try to BL unlock later on.

Can I still receive OTA updates when rooted or do i have to manually install firmware upgrades?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
TWRP/BL unlock wont kill your OTA notification, ROOT will. But if you encounter any problem you'll always can update with SD. Put the update on SD and do the update again within update settings. Really no problem.

When i flash twrp and boot into it the screen is just flashing. Between twrp starting screen (before you get the buttons) and black (screen off).
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Very ironically, for the moment I'm also not able to get TWRP working by following my own bloody guide :P

After RMA I received a brand new A2017G running B06. Everything went buttery smooth until the step where I have to verify TWRP works. TWRP doesn't boot, goes straight to DFU after ZTE logo. I can reflash stock just fine. Flashing other versions didn't solve the issue, nor did upgrading to B08. Guess I'm stuck on stock until someone figures out what's the issue.

Would downgrading to B03 solve the issue?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mariusfl0rian:
It should work if you are on B03. If you are on a newer firmware, you have to downgrade to B03 and then install twrp, unlock bootloader and install root.

First downgrade and then follow your own guide :)

And if you want to be on B08 after rooting and unlocking, follow DrakenFX guide.

B03 update.zip : https://mega.nz/#F!kYtRAJjJ!5tD1zPpo0nw2tJwhANA9pQ!tNsQhD5Y

DrakenFX update to B08 : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Okay. I figured out why it didn't work. Thanks for your help, [MENTION=5290309]mariusfl0rian[/MENTION].

I downgraded to B03 and still, TWRP wouldn't boot whichever version I flashed (I found quite a few TWRP 3.0.2-2 links flying around the forums.) Appearently, none of these was correct for A2017GB03 in my case. It's only when I flashed the TWRP file found in this file, I got recovery to boot. DO NOT USE ANYTHING ELSE THAN THAT FILE FROM THE ZIP, the rest will probabely brick your device.

Everything works out fine but I just can't boot into TWRP, seems it was not installed.. weird
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chinesur:
Since the axon7tool only works with a 64 bits machine, I spent my night backupping my windows 32, noting all specific network parameters, finding how to make bootable an usb key, cleaning up the mess in my boot grup cause I first unnecessarily repartition my drives... to finally realize that my processor is not compatible with 64bits applications and I cannot install Windows 64. Damn spent time.

I could buy a new computer but... it would have been cheaper to buy a Pixel XL.

[MENTION=7890973]tennear[/MENTION], would it be possible to make the program to work under Windows 32bits? It would be very appreciated [emoji4]

TWRP, BL Unlock, Root fully working.

Because i am someone who is testing stuff all the time i first, after i TRWP-ed ok, tried to install SuperSU2.65.

Do not try this because, as mentioned before, you come in a bootloop. Anyhow, you can go back to TWRP by holding VOL+ and Power. Hold that for some seconds. After it seems to power off, release the buttons and push them back again before the ZTE logo appears. When logo appears relase both buttons again and it will boot into TWRP. Connect usb cable and use ADB again like usual.

Complete the steps from bootloader unlock. I did this in TWRP of course because the phone wouldn't boot properly. But all the ADB steps worked perfect in TWRP.

After oem unlock it asked me for a password in twrp which i cancelled (is that ok ? guess so :) ) and went to WIPE and did Format Data (yes).

So flash SuperSu

again

(after BL unlock) with TWRP and you will boot ok now.

So follow steps carefully like in this guide.

Flash the latest TWRP 3.0.3.0

Hi, after i had TWRP, BLunock and Root i wanted to update TWRP to 3.0.3.0

I thought this was easy in TWRP itself using INSTALL, IMAGE (select your latest TWRP.img on SD) to Recovery but...i did not work via TWRP in my case.

I went to a BLACK screen with red led after reboot...:eek:

FIX

: i rebooted back by holding the Power button. Once restarted i went back to the ADB edl mode to reflash the 'old" twrp (see thread).

You just have to use the command line "axon7tool -w recovery" (because you already have all the backup files needed)

Just enter and it will flash the old TWRP back. So far so good.

Once rebooted first(or you could have done that before) put the new twrp img in de folder of the adb where you put all the rest of the files (see thread).

Then you go back to ADB and go into fastboot mode : "adb reboot bootloader" enter and wait a bit till you see your phone has booted into fastboot.

Just type "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.3-0-ailsa_ii.img" (or the name that you have given to the file) and enter

It will flash the new twrp

Then type "fastboot reboot"

and done!

This worked for me. Perhaps other users will have luck with the twrp img flashed in TWRP.

PS : do take backups in between ! But never backup and restore EFS in 'old' TWRP like OP protipped !
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tennear:
Wow, really? You have a 32-bit only machine? :eek:

I suppose I could build a 32-bit version... but, wow.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chinesur:
I am most of the times satisfied with my EEE-PC notebook. MS Office runs on it :)

And since my Linux machines are raspberries it shouldn't help that much :)

I would really appreciate a Windows 32 bits version of the axon7tool program. Please let me know when/if available.

PS : am I really here the only one? ;)

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] le_cactus:
Did you do Step 8? Then. There should be a recovery.bin in the folder.

Cheers,

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rouzette13:
Hi,

For your problem Kassous you must change your option folder in windows.

go to organize > Folder and Search Options, then click the View tab. Uncheck the box titled "Hide extensions for known file types".

Now you can change your recovery.img in recovery.bin.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kassous:
Bro, ty very much for that help.

I did all tips you said , and that worked very well.

Now, i will folow this guide to unlock bootloader !

Ty for all people who answered me.

I can confirm, all steps to twpr, unlock bootloader, work perfectly on windows 10 64b , g model, on b08 official update.

i didnt try supersu, but maybe soon.

if i do it and it works, i will edit my comment.

i thank all developpers and people who participated on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
Hey. I just received my axon and like on every device before, I'm planning to unlock and root it. I have the 2017G model with build number B08. Is it safe to use the procedure stated in this thread? Was a bit confused when catching up on this thread with all the models etc. Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
It is safe. Just follow the steps in the right order and you will be OK. So first twrp, bl unlock and to root supersu 2.65. Good luck!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
I can also switch to the updated twrp?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
After you followed all the steps you can update to twrp 3.0.3.0. I updated it with fastboot commands because it didn't work via twrp itself. I got stuck(see my post on it). But don't worry, in all the cases you can update to the latest twrp for the A7
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PlexBender:
I've had the issue before.

Make sure to connect your phone to a USB 2.0 port as sometimes the USB 3.0 drivers can be messed up, it was the case on my PC.

Next make sure to use Zadig correctly to install your drivers when you reboot your phone to EDL mode using ADB.

If the problem persists, I will try to make you a guide for the drivers ;)

PS: I don't think B03 is needed anymore, it worked on B09 for me.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
It should not be dangerous to use the described procedure. The worst that could happen when you follow everything correctly is that at the step where you have to check if you have TWRP installed, your device boots normally, but you can't access recovery (black screen with red led). This would mean B08 doesn't recognise the signature of the TWRP version you flashed. What you would have to do then is reflash your stock recovery backup download the B03 full update, unzip it and put the update.zip file on your sd card root. Then you can downgrade via settings -> update. Then put the recovery.img you find here http://d-h.st/r3Z4 in the axon7tool folder, rename it to recovery.bin and then flash that file via axon7tool.

But as I said, even this minor inconvenience will probabely not happen.

After finishing the unlock and root process (if you wish to stay on stock ROM) you can update to B09 via DrakenFX' TWRP flashable bootstack and ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
Thanks. I will stay stock till nougat arrives. Coming to that, did zte mention a release window? I know there is a beta test going on. And a slight problem I have noticed on the 7, the vibration intensity doesn't seem to be adjustable via f.e. Swiftkey settings. In settings everything seems normal, but when it comes to typing the system intensity seems to be activated again.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chinesur:
I didn't get that part.

Why would he needs the DrakenFX'TWRP flashable bootstack in order to upgrade to B09 ?

Since he would have followed your process up to unlocking and rooting, he would already have some version of TWRP installed. Why would he then need the DrakenFX's one ?

And since he comes from G-version, why would he need to flash another bootstack?

I read a lot about this whole process and I am asking this question to be sure I get it all right.:confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
Okay I just started and the first problem occured. I followed the instructions from the tutorial and rebooted to edl. When I try to execute command axon7tool -r gpt boot recovery i get "Failed to connect"

Device gets recognized like this after adb reboot edl
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
it's a know issue - nothing to concern about.

You need to install/replace your drivers with zadig tool so you will see the QUSB_BULK in device manager.

Follow this : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70456965&postcount=145

I and many others had this small issue.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Controllerboy:
Search for the app "zadig" and download it on your PC. Open it, check "list all devices" in the toolbar and select your device. Replace the drivers with winUSB drivers and axon7tool should find your device. Reboot your device if you can't find it at first.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacLaughlin:
Okay not quite clear for me, when do I have to use that app? If it's up and running or already in edl mode? If I use it up and running and install driver, the device isn't recognized via adb.

Ok got it. Self answered my questions. Thank you very much for your support
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kadajawi:
Does all of this mean I can buy a A2017G, unlock it, and convert it into a A2017U? Are there differences to the regular A2017U? Things that don't work? Once converted, can I use all the typical methods to unbrick if necessary, or will it still act like a G? I'm intrigued by the phone, but the crap they did to the G version is "amazing". Or rather, frustrating.

Oh and what about warranty? What if I need to send it in because of a hardware defect? Or worse yet, because I have bricked it? Will they still exchange it (in Germany)? It's pretty much impossible to find a phone that ticks all of my boxes. The Axon doesn't either, but it gets relatively close...

Not booting after restore of boot system data with twrp-3.0.2-2

Most important for me with twrp were nandroid restores/backups.

With Axon 7 and twrp-3.0.2-2 no booting after restore.

Any suggestions, please?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Borias:
Sorry for the stupid question, but if I want to downgrade my A2017G to B03 from B08 to be able to follow this guide, do I have to wipe data?

Thanks in advance :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
You don't need to downgrade. I was on b08 and everything went OK. You're good to go:)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Borias:
I already tried, but unfortunately to no avail. The flashing itself put out a "success" notification, but I was unable to access it, neither with hitting vol up and power on startup nor with adb. In both cases I got the black screen with the red LED.

I reflashed stock recovery from update but no idea if successful as I don't know how to check....

It's a bit embarrassing, I do not consider myself a noob as I've done this with a couple of devices, but it's been some time since I last dug into this topic :)

How was your proceeding? If you managed to do it it seems possible without the downgrade, which I'd prefer to avoid of course :)

EDIT: My phone boots into system just fine, I think I wasn't clear enough on this. The black screen appears when trying to access recovery
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] raystef66:
I dont know exactly which steps you did but perhaps read this thread : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70456965&postcount=145

When you were in edl mode, was your devices recognised as QUSB_BULK ? Otherwise you could not have gone further afaik...

btw : AFAIK all B types (03, 06, 08, 09) under A2017G can be flashed with this guide
