@Unjustified Dev

Well, this isn't good. I went to update the ROM today. Downloaded the update this morning and went to reboot to apply the update. Now my screen is completely off and I can't connect via adb. If I try to use the power + up, power + down, or power button alone all I get is the red light comes on for a moment and a vibration but the screen remains black.

I don't know if this is a baseband issue or if my phone just decided to die but I guess I don't have much legs to stand on if I try to contact ZTE for warranty work.

edit- no ZTE logo comes up... no response with adb devices. I have my phone connected to my linux box with "watch adb devices" running to continuously try to connect as I try to power cycle. Tried in Android Device Monitor (via Android Studio) as well. Competely black and vibrates/red light about every 2 seconds as I hold down the power button

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:

Well, according to @ jcadduono I am in EDL mode in this state.

I downloaded his files and tried debricking using the MiFlash tool along with A2017U_B15-NEW_TWRP_EDL

I got the file to flash successfully

Now on to the B15 image. That may take me a while & have to go to work soon
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lentm:
EDL should be a black screen.

Do you have a driver installed on your PC?

Try to connect your phone when it's on a black screen.

Edit: Nvm, I was late. :\
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Yeah.. Why would they make a state of a phone where all you get is a black freakin' screen?? I guess this is the first time I've been in EDL mode if that's what this is. Retarded
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nolimit78:
Yeah EDL is a weird mode, but it's the best mode. Kind of a safety net of sorts. Better than download mode. No frills system recovery state. :D
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
Try installing an app such as betterbatterystats that will let you monitor what your phone is doing. Check if there are any strange wakelocks, and how much time your phone spends in deep sleep. If it's just a stray app, then it's fixable and not the fault of the DAC or LOS.

I don't actually know enough on the electronics side to be able to say the DAC does not constantly consume power. I would assume when it's not in use, it's simply shut off. Can anyone confirm?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Well, I followed this threadhttps://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514

to use the MiFlash Installer and it flashed the B15-NEW_FULL and B15-NEW_TWRP successfully, though it still remains in EDL mode. If I hold down the power button or volume up+power or volume down + power it vibrates and lights up every 5 seconds but nothing shows on the display. I can only remain in EDL mode and with the ability to flash these files. :/

Did you try holding the buttons down until you see the zte logo?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Which button combination and for how long because I tried holding down different combinations of buttons for several minutes and the only thing that would happen is the red light would come on and vibrate every 5 seconds - no ZTE logo, no TWRP, no fastboot would come up- no nothing. It's like my phone is stuck in EDL mode.

A2017U, Nougat bootloader and bootstack

was upgrading from lineage-14.1-20170221-nightly-axon7 to lineage-14.1-20170227-nightly-axon7. I used the LineageOS updater to perform the OTA update and after it downloaded the update I clicked install, the screen said it was preparing the update or whatever, rebooted and got stuck like it is currently.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nolimit78:
Hold it down until you see the dim red light come back and then be sure to hold the volume up button to get into recovery. You can also connect the phone to a computer and use the "device connected" chimes to give you audio cues as to when the device has shut off and then rebooted. That's what I used the first time I discovered EDL, it was scary.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jawz101:
Keeps on doing the same thing over and over, red light + vibrate every 5 seconds. I'll keep trying to get anything to happen but I'm already in EDL mode from what I can tell.

I followed this thread at that point and can successfully flash the B15-NEW_FULL and B15-NEW_TWRP using the MiFlash tool and the phone is still in the same EDL state.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] bd177:
Try just flashing the B15-NEW_FULL and then try getting out of EDL.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nolimit78:
It's the getting outta EDL that's presenting the problem. I remember when I first learned and played with EDL I had a hell of a time getting the timing right. But once you do, you'll never forget it.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nupi:
Flashed it just now. Had a slight glitch, despite factory wiping Lineage complained about damaged /data upon first boot and wanted to format it. All fine, but the TWRP 3.0.2 that somehow got flashed by the lineage zip could (previously had 3.0.4) not process the instructions to do so so I got recovery loop. Flashing twrp 3.0.3 fixed that.

So I just wanted to ask, why did data need formatting (I was on ext4, not f2fs-9 and why did 3.0.2 show up in the first place? And if we need to flash it, maybe we could flash 3.0.3?

Sound is working well (much better than on cm13) so I´ll hope fingerprint will be fixable (and that lineage will integrate substratum :)). Donated to unjustified already last night.

I see this version supports model U and G.

Some users were reporting that VoLTE works properly now. Unfortunately he didn't report if it was for the U or G model? I'm guessing he meant the U model.

If it was for the G model. Does that mean stock Nougat modem will bring VoLTE support for the G models?

Does anyone know?

I have the U model but in a G model country.

I'm recommending the Axon-7 to people that keep asking me what to buy. So it is interesting to know if VoLTE support is coming to the G models.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Jedi.Tester:
You are correct, it does not consume power constantly, unless you're playing music and DAC is on. And that's what I meant, the battery drain is higher when playback is on as compared to stock. And on LOS I'm currently using flac files as compared to mp3 on stock, so this might also add to higher drain.

So my original question was, is it always on (automatically turns on when you start playback) or should/can you additionally turn it on/off in settings.

Still, I do have some battery issues apart from music playback and I'll go for your advice on using betterbatterystats. Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Masterjuggler:
I'm still on CM13 because I'm still working up the willpower to switch to a new theme engine (lol), but using a wakelock tracker and greenifying / disabling inefficient apps, I'm getting 0.1% drain per hour on idle, not in doze, with WiFi, cell, and data turned on. After governor tweaks, I get around 7 hours SOT depending on usage. It's just a matter of figuring out what is draining battery.

Anywho, from what I understand, the modern codecs used should make playing just about any audio file type equally as efficient.

You can test it though by playing each file type on loop for an hour or two and checking battery drain. I'm not using the better DAC or hi-fi (like I said, CM13), but I might just do that tomorrow out of curiosity. If I do, I'll make a new thread because it probably doesn't belong here haha.

I want to know about the vibration intensity as well. On the stock rom it simply sucks.

Even setting the vibration intensity to 1ms on Google keyboard it's still too much vibration, and it makes a high pitched noise as if something metallic was loose and vibrating.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] QAM:
Hola

I wanted to ask Carl about this but I guess now that more people are asking let's see what he says. Interestingly is that if you go into TWRP, you can actually set the vibration intensity and it works. So there must be some code we can reuse from TWRP but again we need our master developer and maintainer to review it. Not sure if it something that can be merged into LOS sources specifically for the Axon7 if the main vibration intensity controls are not in the main LOS base. :confused:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] aLexzkter:
Wait. So you already tried playing with the vibration on LOS? Same thing as on stock rom?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] QAM:
Hola

Sorry mate, either I am confused or I maybe I didn't explain myself properly.

All I am saying is that vibration intensity controls are working IF you are in TWRP (and ONLY in TWRP), you can indeed reconfigure the vibration intensity as this feature is built into TWRP. However, the challenge is:

1. We need Carl or someone of his skill set to capture the code from TWRP, and apply them to the LOS sources.

2. Which brings us to second issue, is that I don't think there are any LOS v14.1 sources that provides controls that are in main Settings of the ROM. So what is the point of merging vibration intensity code into LOS v14.1 if there is not out-of-box controls for it, UNLESS we can leverage third-party apps that expose these controls to users.

Hopefully that above explains it a bit better, and of course what I wrote could be all incorrect to begin with as I am not a developer.
