After flashing Magisk uninstaller, you should reboot to recovery and dirty flash the ROM you had. Only then you will be able to get everything right.

Root Switch on: BusyBox available, su command available, selinux permissive, root available for apps demanding it.

Root Switch off: No BusyBox commands, no su command, selinux enforcing, no root available for apps. SafetyNet check passes.

PoGo should work only when root switch is off, but Xposed modules continue working since Xposed already received superuser privilege when root was on.

That is the right behavior.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrus D.:
I flashed the factory B29 over it which wiped everything and after an eternity it's done updating everything. I went to use the "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.3-0-ailsa_ii.img" command in fastboot mode to reinstall TWRP and it fails... I thought the bootloader remained unlocked since it shows that stupid warning before the phone boots. I guess this means I have to literally do EVERYTHING all over again and wipe my phone again in the process?

WHY?! I did the exact same thing as before, the image is in the same folder as the adb fastboot drivers.

First I check if it's detected:

C:\adb>fastboot devices

6bd96a99 fastboot

Then I enter the command and now this happens:

C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.3-0-ailsa_ii.img

target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes

sending 'recovery' (16628 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.454s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time: 0.475s

Edit: I went through it all again like a derp, and it says bootloader is already unlocked. -_-' I give up.

Edit some more: Well at least now it writest TWRP. Now the next steps of pain begin.

Use Axon7tool for flashing recovery and boot. It works in EDL mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrus D.:
My post was a mess and I was editing it.

I successfully flashed TWRP on it again after doing all the reflashing steps of B29 to B20 to unlockable BL to B20 to B27 to B29 in the guide... that and last time I had USB debugging on for some reason, I don't know if that was the problem or reflashing somehow fixed it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Next time you want to flash Stock B29, just use the full B29 ROM from ZTE. There is no need to go through all the steps in the TWRP installation guide. Actually you just need the boot image and TWRP recovery 3.0.2-2 signed to recover all the recovery functionality. Lateron you can flash any ROM and upgrade to TWRP 3.0.3. However all those flashing sessions are for sure giving you confidence and experience in the flashing process.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrus D.:
Well I just got around to installing everything including Root Switch again and... Same result, with root enabled it's still showing SELinux as Enforced instead of Permissive. My head is about to explode.

Unless someone can explain to me what part of the phone I've exactly screwed with Magisk and how I can repair it, I think I should just give up at this point. Even if SELinux is enforcing it's not interrupting any root functions as far as I know. Is there any reason I should be worried about this?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Having SElinux enforcing is safer and compatible with root. In fact, one of the objectives of any software requiring root is to be able to work when SElinux is enforcing too. However not all of them work in that mode yet. Go on this way and think about it when you first encounter an app not working when SElinux is enforcing.

Regarding the changes done by Magisk, I really do not know where the change could be.Since you have restored the boot image, the system image in a clean flash with a complete wipe of the data partition, the only place where some thinks could be stored is the internal storage, however it is unlikely.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stl-soldier:
In RootSwitch, mine always says SELINUX: Enforcing. I'm not sure if it is supposed to or not, but it doesn't matter, because everything is working properly. AdAway, Titanium Backup, Xposed all work, then I switch root off, I can't launch a new app that needs root, Pokémon Go works and plays properly, but root apps already running continue to work. Switching root back on prevents Pokémon Go from playing, and new root apps can start.

Give it a try no matter what SELINUX says in RootSwitch.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] stl-soldier:
Yes. I'd wipe Dalvik, cache, system, and data before flashing the B29 image.

Hullo

I am using a2017g and followed all the steps in this guide after reflashing the stocksystem by tron1 and starting up the phone once for the file system (not completing set-up).

However I am getting a bootloop at the Axon logo screen, any ideas?

Many thanks

I did everything right, I can successfully turn root on or off and pass the safety net. But tried using Android Pay and Wells Fargo Wallet pay apps and get warnings about being rooted. Has anyone had this issue and if it isn't fixable. How can I go back to stock and relock my bootloader?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] H0lmEd:
I've had the same problem. The only way I managed to get Android Pay + Root working is by first switching to B29 (A2017U) software. I downloaded the stock Boot Stack + System Stack from the thread by DrakenFX. Make sure you back up your "modem" partition in TWRP before doing this. Then follow the guide from this thread, using the B29 boot stack and system stack. Don't forget to restore your Modem partition before booting into the system for the first time or you wont be able to get any service. Hope this helps :svetius:
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JKSurf:
Same here. Safety net passes but Android Pay doesn't work. Got rooted error message.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
Try using the B29 stock system with the bootstack of your 2017G phone OR ZADmix7 OR Submix7 ROMs as your base system. Do a backup first, but it should allow dirty flash.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisrodsa210:
This method didn't work out to well for me A2017u. Couldn't get Lucky Patcher, Titanium Backup, or YouTube ad block app to work. The YT ad block just took away the skip ad button. Couldn't get Android Pay or Wells Fargo Wallet to work either. LP and TB had an issue with SU setting "mount namespace separation." When I clicked it off, had to restart the phone and SU needed to update binary and wouldn't update. It had broke the SU app. The only actual mod I benefited from was Google Assistant. So I just went completely back to stock. To B20, then B20unlock bl, relocked the bl. Then back to B20 and OTA'd back to B29 to make sure OTA's worked. No more TWRP, and surprisingly went pretty smooth going back to stock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Oki:
If you are using B29, it should work regardless of the region of your Axon 7 hardware. Please follow the steps in the right order. The issues you are describing seem to be those related to a wrong version of SuperSU or a problem when flashing the patch. It is important NOT to flash SuperSU or Su hide after the patch.

I use Titanium Backup along another 14 apps with root requirements and 9 Xposed modules without any problem and working Android Pay. If you are willing to try it again, please follow the steps exactly as they are there. It is very tricky and the order of flasking and remaining in TWRP is critical, otherwise the whole process is ruined. I have tested it on B29 stock ROM, ZADmix7 and HelsAx7.

5. SafetyNet-KCAL Kernel patch, thanks to [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] also for this one!

This link 404s (I can't actually post the link, but trust me). The file isn't there any more. I can pull up his axon 7 directory, and his other files are there, but this one has been removed. Does anyone have it, or is there some reason why it's gone?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyrus D.:
Would anyone happen to have an estimate of how long until we have this stuff working on Nougat? I was told currently there is only one person working on Xposed and that he's quite busy. I can't give up Xposed, the internet is an intolerable storm of ads at every corner every 5 seconds, I need Xposed to properly block ads. So no Nougat for me for a while longer.

You need to state exactly what isn't working for you. "This method doesn't work" won't garner you much response/help.

Also, be advised that Xposed for Nougat isn't yet available, so of course, trying to flash the ZIP won't work.

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] Amar5373:
Anyone please help me..... After Update to Nougat I can't move any file to phone :crying:
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] krispuniq:
Hey Amar,

I am facing the same issue since the time i am using Open beta Nougat versions. I am unable to move any file to phone while connected to a PC (with file sharing option chosen). However, If I boot into recovery, I am able to transfer any file (I am using TWRP recovery).

Can you check if you are able to download any zip file ? I can only download mail attachments but not any other files like rom zips or some files from external links. I am not sure if you have this issue as well.

When connecting to PC, what do you see this device as ? I use ubuntu and I see the device as Android/Internal Shared Storage/. If I boot into twrp and connect then i see the same device as Android/Internal Storage .

I think this is the problem because OOS makes internal storage as shared space between system and data, so we dont have rights to use it unless using ROOT or SU. I tried asking around in different threads about this problem but I didnt get anyt solution. May be its not a common issue but finally I have company to try and fix it :)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiksdal:
Is the "no data on SIM 2" limitation a hardware restriction or a software one?

I noticed a few old threads about the restriction that data isn't possible on SIM 2. None of them featured any solution to the problem.

I saw a user on the Asus forums stating that data used to work on SIM 2 for older firmware versions. I'm not sure if that user was telling the truth or not, but if he was, it would indicate that this is a software restriction.

Is there still no workaround to this? Using root, Xposed or a custom ROM? And is it even technically possible? At least 2G data on SIM 2?

Wow another rom. Man thank u. Hope u can fix those bugs fast.:fingers-crossed:. I really want to use this rom but want those camera and youtube to be bug free cause I use them the most . Pls check the camera auto white balance for messenger and other camera apps. It's a known issue that after upgrading to marshmallow the front camera and back camera is too dark in indoors and can't adjust auto white balance. Thanks again.

U got me wrong. It's not only messenger, almost every other camera apps can't adjust the white balance (except google camera and open camera, don't know why they work).
[Blu Vivo XL] Servacia:
Sim Card not recognized.

I installed this on a Vivo XL with stock 6.0 from NA. Everything went smoothly but my SIM card is no longer recognized. I tried wiping and reflashing, as well as changing card slots, but to no avail. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
[Blu Vivo XL] Tarik Aziz:
Your Imei was deleted. Check them by just typing *#06# in ur calling screen.
[Blu Vivo XL] Servacia:
yes i've figured this out in the past 20 minutes. any way of reliably restoring them? i've tried using chamelephon but every time i enter the ones from the inside of my phone it doesn't seem to save them.
[Blu Vivo XL] Tarik Aziz:
It's gonna be a lengthy process. I used the firmware of Gionee and it caused me to lose the imei. But what I did is, flash the Gionee 5.1 stock firmware and recovered Imei using sn write tool. Then I flashed custom ROM or marshmallow rom or whatever rom, my Imei was not erased. TBH I don't know any process to restore imei in marshmallow. What u can do is before flashing backup nvram and secro. Then restore it after flashing any rom using twrp. :fingers-crossed: Another thing, don't use format option in sp flash tool just use firmware upgrade or download only.
[Blu Vivo XL] Servacia:
so just to be clear if i flash the gionee 5.1 right now with my current twrp over top of my current CM13 rom i should be able to recover my imei? will i need a downgraded recovery or will the 2.8.7 twrp included in the OP be ok? i'll definitely make sure i backup the nvram this time and i never used anything other than download mode in sp flash. Thanks for all your help btw.
[Blu Vivo XL] Tarik Aziz:
First of all did u backup ur stock rom? If so try restoring that and check if ur imei is restored or not. IF YES, only flashing stock firmware should work. IF NOT, then u will have to use sn write tool (an pc app) to restore ur imei as ur nvram partition is corrupted. U can ONLY use sn write tool in lollipop firmware as it didn't work for me in marshmallow, u can try if u want. I'm telling u to use sn write tool because it restores ur imei permanently, there are other simple temporary methods too but once u reset ur phone imei will be erased again. There are plenty of tutorials out there how to use sn write tool.:D
[Blu Vivo XL] Tarik Aziz:
I'm really sorry for asking but pls can u inform that are u still working on this rom? I'll really appreciate any progress... Thanks in advance cm13 is a dream for this phone...

I don't use it but I used the resurrection remix rom it was pretty good.... I guess this one will be pretty stable too just need the camera to be full resolution....
[Blu Vivo XL] Dhaval1998:
Camera is just 8 MP right??? But what about front camera??
[Blu Vivo XL] Tarik Aziz:
No prob...front is fine full resolution....

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smittyofdhs:
hmmm... after reinstall PP4, try this:

First, check the options you want and see if the same things happens. If it's not doing it, then maybe it was a bad reg entry on install.

if it's still doing it, then go to settings > system > task manager and make sure everything is unchecked.

My thought process on this is maybe you have the Close button from PP4 and the built-in task manager trying to compete.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ellistyle:
As simply an enthusiast, not an expert, I am guessing that your advice was the solution. I don't think the reinstall by itself resolved it.

I would say that the original issue stemmed from conflict between the built in HTC task manager and the PP4 x-button.

I uninstalled pp4. Before reinstalling I disabled all function of the HTC task manager. Then I reinstalled only the PP4 today plugin, battery meter, x-button and PIE stuff.

When I have more time, I will uninstall pp4 and reinstall all of the pp4 components as i believe that the issue is isolated as described above.

Thanks again. you saved Christmas.
