You need to list exactly what you did to get to this point.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kingoftheafro:
I've read through the instructions and they make no sense to me. It says follow instructions to unlock bootloader, but there aren't any in the OP. Can someone please make a cut and dry list of what to do because the description given in the OP isn't getting me anywhere but aggravated.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lafester:
fastboot oem unlock.

google "fastboot commands" or "fastboot guide" to get a fastboot tutorial.

basically you just download minimal adb and fastboot from xda and then open a command window to that directory.

from there you input the commands.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lafester:
Did you flash the unlock package? Did you toggle oem unlock in developer settings?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] kingoftheafro:
That's exactly what I needed. The OP should write that in because I thought there were more commands that that. Thank you much.

Update: I tried that, but I'm apparently missing something. It's not working. I have USB debugging enabled and I've accepted the prompt when I type adb devices to enable at all times. When I type adb reboot bootloader it goes to the bootloader, but then the device isn't recognized when I type in fastboot devices. What did I do wrong?

I think the OP is fairly concise on what needs to be done.

I think the assumption made is that the user has some idea of how to setup/use adb and fastboot and driver environment. They are two different modes which use 2 different executables (adb and fastboot, respectively). They serve two different purposes and are not interchangeable for most tasks.

That said, the OP offers up these tool packages and provides basic guidelines on how to use them. IMO this is sufficient for most users with some adb background. I can see how the novice may be lost as there are intermediate steps that are assumed.

The older guides which essentially performed the same function but through a different method were more novice oriented and included these intermediate steps.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gpz1100:
Did you try just leaving it plugged in for a while (an hour). I've seen this before on some motorolas when the battery is nearly dead.

Edit, why bother creating another thread if you posted in here already???

Yes i left it plugged in for about 5 hours before trying to revive it

Edit: also sorry for double posting. I was just trying to get attention from someone who could potentially help
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gpz1100:
Are you using the stock charger? Have you tried getting into fastboot mode (power + vol down). If you can get into fastboot, let it charge for a while. After 15-20 min should have enough power to boot and charge normally.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ImBarone:
Fastboot cant be reached either as of right now. So i guess ill keep trying to reach EDL for now
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] gpz1100:
Try holding power + vol down while plugging it in? I seem to recall that being the method on motorolas that had a run down battery and wouldn't charge right.

Hi could you make a edl package with b20/27 full edl?

I have a softbricked a2017u, flashed b15 nougat full edl, with no luck because my bootloader is locked. I cannot boot to system and get the oem unlock option turned on. Fastboot oem unlock is saying oem unlock is not allowed.

I tried to flash through fastboot flash command also no luck because the bootloader is locked.

I tried to flash from stock recovery an official ota full update.zip signed package also with error wrong footer because a downgrade is not allowed.

I think that a earlier b27 or b20 MM edl will do the trick for me if I could get my hands on an edl full package...

Or at least could someone explain how to make one from the update.zip I got.

Thanks.

Allow oem unlock is in step 1.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] manu7irl:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cyrus D.:
Quick question: Just to be perfectly clear, from an unlocked rooted device running B29 all I need to do (once MiFlash is ready) is:

- Install the Full package

- Install the TWRP package to restore TWRP

And I won't lose my unlock? It won't wipe my phone forcing me to redo everything?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lafester:
If your unlocked with TWRP why would you use miflash?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aleks192:
Just looking for help, got through dev options, toggled oem unlock, debug mode, place the phone into EDL, have the latest MiFlash, is recognized on com 10, drivers up to date, and package is unpacked as per instructions.

I get varying different messages, from can't read hello, to trying to reset status. It will get 110seconds into a "write" with the reset status error, and it will time out with about 20% on the green progress bar.

This is all while trying to flash the OEM unlock tool just so I can fastboot unlock the device.

On a Win 10 laptop. Phone is a stock B15 right now. Kinda lost as to what else to try! You guys do amazing work, I just really want to root this phone so I can use it the way I want
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cyrus D.:
I'm completely unclear on just about everything, isn't this method just as straight forward as any other? As far as I understand the other way would be to flash the Nougat bootloader file in TWRP, flash the ROM, then flash TWRP again in fastboot mode with adb since it's lost when flashing the ROM?

And in the middle of all this I'm not sure if I'd lose my unlock.

I don't understand why someone can't give me a direct answer just like the last time you pointed me to a 251 post thread which I had partially gone through anyway, it's not like I'm being lazy and ignoring what's obviously available. Jesus Christ simply flashing a ****ing ROM for this device has to be an ordeal. I've never had to go through so much trouble or read through such convoluted information to get something so simple done on an Android phone before going back to 2011.

---------- Post added at 04:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

Okay so I flashed the full package, then went back into EDL mode again and flashed the TWRP package. TWRP works, the bootloader shows as unlocked... I start my phone aaaand all I see is the Linux penguin instead of the boot logo so I've either bricked my phone or it's taking like 10 minutes for the first boot and boot logo is changed for some reason.

This is exactly what I was afraid of and no one would simply give me a yes/no answer.

Edit: Fixed it, but now I'm lost as how to root it, SuperSU 2.79-SR3 doesn't work from TWRP.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] manu7irl:
b15 not fully booting on locked bootloader I got the boot logo booting once to black screen' as I cannot see anything display on the screen but if I press the power button 3 seconds I get the reboot shutdown menu displaying, nothing but that!!

just use supersu 2.79 zip. not SR1/2/3. link here: http://downloadmirror.co/Utz/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip

also use command reboot disemmcwp in twrp terminal.

that's how i get mine working.

however, I'm still confused with my china unit losing signal every second. I even tried flashing Udev's a2017 N modem

and saviour's version but it didn't help.

once you unlocked bootloader, it remains unlocked even after updating roms/firmware. unless you relock it using fastboot.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] stl-soldier:
As far as I've seen, you can only root by flashing SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip immediately after flashing the System. It has to be done prior to first system boot, or root will be lost. I have no idea what state your phone is in, but try that and see if it works.

Flash: twrp-3.0.4-1-ailsa_ii.img > reboot to recovery TWRP 3.0.4-1 > mount System as Read-Only > flash B15 BootStack.zip > flash B15 System.zip > flash SuperSU.zip > reboot to System > WAIT > if phone turns off, turn back on and WAIT AGAIN

A2017 U

I was on the Nougat Bootloader & bootstack + LineageOS, It is stuck in EDL mode after attempt to upgrade from

lineage-14.1-20170221-nightly-axon7-signed.zip

to

lineage-14.1-20170227-nightly-axon7-signed.zip

I'm out of ideas as I can only remain in EDL mode from what I can tell.

I followed this thread 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.

I guess I am in the same state as this guy who is now at the point of sending his phone in RMA
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] manu7irl:
You need to charge your phone! Put it in bootloader mode and charge it then atempt to flash it again.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] StickMonster:
Try flashing the full b29 including the stock recovery. If you are on a locked bootloader with an unsigned recovery you boot to EDL so I'd definitely try the stock recovery or the SIGNED twrp.

By the way the axon7tool.exe also works in EDL for flashing recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lafester:

I've flashed the B15-New_TWRP_EDL file using the xiaomi tool and when I boot to recovery, I see a black screen now instead of TWRP or the stock recovery. Trying to run the fastboot command from here, I just see a "Waiting for Device" message. How do I work past this?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] StickMonster:
Did you allow OEM unlock in the developer options first?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] eMadman:
Yep!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] StickMonster:
Yeah I'm not sure how this method is supposed to work if your bootloader is still locked. My understanding is that you can only boot with a signed recovery in this state, and I thought the packages in the OP were newer. My advice is to flash the signed twrp with axon7tool, then you should be able to unlock, and do pretty much anything else from there.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lafester:
You don't unlock from recovery. Go to fastboot mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] StickMonster:
But how do you get to fastboot mode when you only boot to EDL? Is there a key combo?

[Samsung Gear S3] Byte_76:
I have browsed around briefly in the Gear S3 section of the xda Forums but in general, there does not seem to be much activity in the area of ROM development for the Gear S3. (Just official ROMs?)

Is there such as a thing as "root" for the S3 and and any sort of development like we see on Android based phones?

It seems that Samsung has little interest in listening to their customers and bringing missing functionality to their Tizen based watches, or at least addressing some of the issues that some of us have.

It would be great to see custom ROM development for the S3 as this might allow Devs to bring additional functionality and also to address some of the issues that some of us have.
[Samsung Gear S3] MobileUnlockBase:
There wasn't even any development for the original gear. The closest we got was getting a CM version of android on the watch. I doubt there will be any development for the s3.
[Samsung Gear S3] sandrinopi:
Being a smartwatch, therefore having limited application compared to a smartphone, I don't expect much in terms of custom ROMs.

One thing I'm starting to ask myself is whether the hardware would support an Android Wear OS, considering that AW 2.0 has just been released.

Not that I'm unhappy with Tizen (I have the Gear S3 since three weeks only after all); the available apps satisfy my current needs, and I have no software issue at all. I'm just curious.

BTW what would a Tizen rooted smartwatch do, compared to a non-rooted one ?
[Samsung Gear S3] MobileUnlockBase:
Yeah, at some point people will start talking about android wear on the gear s3 but i doubt that kind of port will be successful. It hasn't been in the past and also consider that Google said that android wear 2.0 will not work with android pay "if you use nfc payments" if you have a rooted phone. Samsung Pay may not even work since it's baked into the Gear app and will probably experience syncing problems. Rooting Tizen wont give you much more than the capability of adding custom ringtones, nothing major at this point

We don't need a different rom for the gear s3, we need apps and at some point Samsung has to pay some attention to this because i'm tired of supporting this company and not being able to do some very basic things that a smart watch like this should be able to do.
[Samsung Gear S3] afblangley:
I don't think anyone is going to invest the time trying to port AW into the S3, because it's easier to do the reverse- copy the S3 form factor. I predict one of the major watch manufacturers is going to release an AW 2.0 watch that looks like the S3, including the rotating bezel (since 2.0 easily accommodates that).
[Samsung Gear S3] DaveC1964:
A rooted device would basically let the user do what they want with the watch. Basic annoyances could be corrected. Things like getting rid of pre installed apps/watch faces you don't use, get rid of standalone icon on watch faces, being able to re arrange ALL icons to where you want etc could then be done. So instead of Samsung dictating what and how things are installed you could have more flexibility to do what you want how you want.
[Samsung Gear S3] highaltitude:
That's all I want. Root, removal of stock apps, replace with the ones I want.
[Samsung Gear S3] Byte_76:
So Android Wear 2.0 on the LG Watch Sport is a big improvement over Wear 1.5, it has a slick interface that appears to perform very well. The darker color scheme, new icons, dedicated play store on the watch, better fitness tracking and the ability to run apps from the watch (untethered) are just some of the improvements.

How do you think Tizen (on the S3) stacks up against Android Wear 2.0?

Are you planning to switch?
[Samsung Gear S3] Byte_76:
I just bought my Gear S3 Frontier BT a couple of weeks ago. Looking at the new LG Watch Sport, I think perhaps I should have waited a bit longer. (Buyers remorse?)

I like the overall design of LG's new sports watch. I like the fact that it has a larger, higher resolution display and the embedded sim with unlocked modem for use on any carrier. I also like the improvements to the Android Wear 2.0 user interface and the fact that there is a much larger app ecosystem. (Well at least as developers update their apps for Wear 2.0 compatiblity)

Finally, I like that all features of the watch will work across different brands of Android phones. (unlike Samsung where some features only work on Samsung phones.)

I will keep my S3 for a while longer to see whether Samsung releases some decent updates but if nothing much from Samsung, I may well jump ship in a couple of months when the LG Watch Sport is more widely available.
