[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7440023:
Hey, does anybody have a surefire way of unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery for the Axon 7.

I've tried every guide I could find but none of them seem to work.

I've tried installing the .zip files provided to me using both stock recovery and adb sideload but I just get...

-- Install /sdcard/(Insert .zip file here) ...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Update package verification took 46.0 s (result 0).

Installing update...

Warning: No file_contextsThis package is for "ailsa_ii" devices; this is a "".

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip

(Status 8)

Installation aborted.

Is there anything I can download specifically for ailsa_ii boards?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Every axon is "ailsa_ii" afaik. it's just failing.

One thing you didn't talk about is what model it is. If it is an A2017G you have to use axon7tool to flash TWRP, then use it to flash a zip. No idea for another models. But be VERY SURE about what model it is, using a guide for another model on your phone will kill it!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7440023:
In the title I said it was the A2017U.

I even tried to use the Axon7Toolkit but I can't get all the the dependencies to download.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
A couple of comments:

The XDA app doesn't display the full title, it just cuts at ZTE axon 7. Jus saying

If the download fails, go to the A2017G download center and download the TWRP 3.1.1-0, then put it inside Axon7Development and a folder inside that should be called TWRP or something. It should detect it and work. otherwise try cutting your internet. Also, I think it needs fastboot, so if you're on the latest and greatest Nougat for A2017U, ZTE got rid of fastboot... downgrade to a much older version the official way (download zip, go to Updates and install it)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7440023:
Ok so I got the .img and the SuperSU files to work but when trying to install the www.mega-debrit.com_A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL.zip file the Hashcheck gets a mismatch...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
i guess the download failed some... download it again and try. Are you using axon7toolkit, or MiFlash? If you have the TWRP image you can put it in the folder like i told you and axon7toolkit should work
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7440023:
I'm using axon7toolkit and I did like you said and have the TWRP image in the TWRP folder and the SuperSU zip in the root folder but I can't get the A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL zip to work and idk if there's anything after that that I need to download.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
sorry, no idea. Have the A2017G and you do most of this with axon7tool instead. Maybe head over to the 4th category brick repair guide, then go to 4pda from the MiFlash download link, and find the A2017U unlock edl file, download, try...

Dunno why it would tell you that though. MiFlash refusing to work is not uncommon at all. if it still doesn't want to flash then try using another PC, usually it solves all your trouble

Thanks, I'll try it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Reaper_man:
Hello, so after rooting my S7 and finding out that there was the annoying volte and hurricane issue, I patched in a fix to get rid of them. Unfortunately, it was a patch for the marshmallow build, which caused that process to go into a force close loop. I found the proper nougat fix and patched it, but it seemed to only affect settings and not the apk itself. In a bit of desperation, I removed the apk entirely, but that has caused a few minor issues. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to post the stock imsservice.apk so that I can see if that will fix the issue, and hopefully, there will be no more force closes.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] tony.wheeler:
Any ideas? My HTC U11 is in a completely locked/frozen state with the charge light stuck on. It was on charge with an ongoing upload to Google Drive (probably irrelevant) and when I unplugged (from the HTC supplied charger and lead) the phone would not respond.

The charge light remains on and the buttons unresponsive.. Not impressed. I'd taken over a hundred photos today (all great) and aimed to upload some here.

Any ideas? I've tried holding the power button, and also with the volume down.. All that happens is that the bottom lights flash.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] tony.wheeler:
Phew... Got it working again. I had to hold the power button and volume down for about 30 secs. It then just reset (soft reset/reboot).

Phone sent a report to HTC after restarting. Hopefully just a one-off, but....

Hi there all, I am quite prepared to be hideously flamed about this but after an (admittedly quick) search I couldnt find anything to confirm nor deny my query... once I have flashed my ROM and then there are a few bugs in it perhaps... this means that I have to then reflash my ROM if fixes are posted... or is it the case that if a few bugs are present the fix can be applied without reflashing...? Thanks for your help...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] shogunmark:
It depends on what the bugs are, some can be fixed with a cab file but most of the times it will need a reflash.

I suspect those offering advice do not have the U11, or a different ROM. The photos below show the settings when in Selfie mode.

I too have an HTC 10 and the setting it has is missing on this handset, at least my one.

[Wileyfox Swift] eg789123:
TWRP final guide with EXACTLY what to do;

preparations:

wileyfox swift with cable (original, or high quality cable),

as swift plug is recessed quite deeply not like samsungs ect....

working ADB drivers or platform tools, and access into it from your PC,

latest TWRP for this phone,

first step is locating where your platform tools or ADB is actually installed,

you need to see the actual files like fastboot.exe,ect1.tool.exe,and adb.exe

copy into (platform tools) this folder TWRP.img, (renaming helps here), rename it to

TWRP.img from crackling xxxxxx.img

now make sure USB debugging is enabled in developer options, (press 7 times on build

number to see the developer options)

while in developer options switch on advanced reboot so you see bootloader option

plug in USB cable firmly

reboot your phone, while selecting "reboot", "go into bootloader option"

should get to a screen showing statistics such as

product name- crackling

variant QRD eMMC

Boootloader version- crackling-N-gef75ac3

serial number-XXXXXXXXX

secure boot-enabled

Device state-locked/unlocked

if the last one says locked, make sure you have backups, as continuing from this point

WILL wipe your device, no whatsapp, SMS messages, phone contacts ect..... please make sure

your backup is 100% current before continuing as once unlocked your phone will be factory reset

on your pc inside the platform tools folder, open a command window inside the folder

itself,(hold down SHIFT key , then right click on empty white area to get option "open command

window here).

now you should get a CMD window with the folder name where the platform tools already

populated,

now a quick test to see if everything working,

type fastboot devices and then enter,

should get a printout saying, xxxxxxx	Fastboot

where XXXXX is your serial number shown on the screen

if you get nothing checck your cables,drivers ect.....

-----------Optional, if your bootloader is locked,

type fastboot OEM unlock to unlock your bootloader, see warning above........

-----------Optional

now for the meat of the process:

type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

should get something similar to this:

target reported max download size of 268435456 bytes

sending 'recovery' (16888 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.563s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.297s]

finished. total time: 0.859s

great, it flashed,

now the tricky bit..... its requires very precise timing, and flexibility as the buttons

are all in one row, and its hard to do everything properly.

UNPLUG the USB cable at this point,

remove the back cover off the phone,

physically remove the battery from the phone,

with the cover still off,

press and hold vol down and power button, and insert the battery into the phone

phone will vibrate, wait till you see wileyfox logo, then ONLY release power button

keep holding vol down button,

eventually TWRP logo appears,

TWRP is now installed, as far as I can make out its only temporary, as at the next reboot

it will flash the standard recovery once more,

hope this help others,

happy customizing....

[Wileyfox Swift] Dmitriy.WZR:
This will lead to fail if you have a stock 7.1.1 firmware or old Cyanogen. It should be mentioned that you should flash a compatible bootloader first.
[Wileyfox Swift] eg789123:
quite quickly as soon as it vibrates, will show wileyfox logo, will vibrate again then show TWRP once more,
[Wileyfox Swift] eg789123:
used latest version, 3.1.1.0 TWRP,

I did have to flash eventually my folders to Vfat in order to get my Rom to install, otherwise I kept getting errors when flashing,

found this out by experimenting and flashing different versions until one allowed me to flash.
[Wileyfox Swift] hbrowser:
Thanks for this guide - still useful after years.

Here's my experience with my 2 Swifts with some additions for future reference. (If your phone's side buttons are as crappy as mine, keep reading, there is a way to get to recovery without needing the side buttons at all:)

background:

I'm following this LineageOS 17.1 install guide, specifically the "Installing the correct firmware". I first need to sideload an older Cyanogen 13 via recovery because.. reasons.. (see guide).

To do this I need to first be in Recovery, but not stock recovery because that one would not allow me to sideload either Cyanogen 13 or the new LineageOS. So either TWRP or the LineageOS recovery image for crackling would do - If I could reach it before the phone replaced it with the stock recovery again. So this is where this guide comes in:

Phone #1: This one is a half-decent condition still with the side buttons working most of the time 1st try.

Only thing was the timing of the "tricky bit" where you reinsert the battery while holding down power and volume down. I had the rest of my stuff ready, upon reaching flashed recovery immediately sideloaded the Cyanogen 13 (which replaces the bootloader) and from there on you can reach any flashed recovery also through the new/old/better bootloader's menu. Success!

Phone #2: The side buttons on this one have become very unreliable to the point where it's even hard to navigate the bootloader menu.

I just couldn't get it to work. The side buttons have degraded too much, I couldn't tell if they were actually pressed or not, let alone time it correctly. However I know from #1 I only need to reach recovery once to make it work.

Here's what I did without needing the side buttons at all:

Boot to bootloader, e.g:

Boot normally (fortunately still possible)

Connect usb debugging

adb reboot bootloader

In bad bootlooder

Do not flash recovery, boot recovery:

fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-crackling.img

(I tried to boot from LineageOS crackling img but that failed. See command log in next post)

In TWRP

Do a factory reset

adb sideload SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY_v2.zip

Via menu reboot, reboot to bootloader

in good bootloader now

flash recovery:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-crackling.img

(this can also be the LineageOS img)

Reboot to recovery using the menu (now this works)

use recovery as you like.

So from here on out I followed the guide including installation of GApps.

I also resized the system partition using parted in TWRP with as detailed in this excellent post, otherwise OpenGApps wouldn't fit.

In the next post is the adb/fastboot command line log where you can see the entire process, hopefully this is useful for anyone with issues with their phone regardless of type.
[Wileyfox Swift] M4rk3h:
Hey folks, I'm new here obviously and whilst i've managed to do this on a Samsung S5 before (showing my age) - i've been really struggling to get fastboot devices to show my Wileyfox Swift 2.

So far i've downloaded the Google Drivers from Android Studio, and the phone is listed via adb. Could anyone give any information, that would be truly appreciated.

EDIT:

I tried it on Linux and the drivers were detected straight away - Windows 11 is poo.

I wasnt planning to replace my N6 any time soon. Bought the phone at full price so this really did hurt me.
[Nexus 6  General] TMG1961:
That was a nasty fall. Good that you got insurance. Mine fell yesterday but was lucky and not even a scratch on it.

[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Was it wearing a case? Currently my N6 wears an Incipio dual layer TPU/Polycarbonate case, but after seeing this I'm debating putting my Unicorn Beetle Pro back on. Just wish the Unicorn Beetle Pro wasn't so friggin' huge.
[Nexus 6  General] ghost010:
Nah, my case broke a while ago. It fallen couple times since, have small dents that were not on the glass. But in this case it landed exactly on the edge of the glass. Even a border/ back case would not have helped. Only the one's that partially cover the front edge.

The stupidest part is that it fell around 20/30 CM....
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Well, a Spigen Thin Fit certainly wouldn't help and I wouldn't even call that thing a case. That said, even it is better than no case at all, especially when you're holding a phone that seemingly has been coated in Astroglide before being sold. You have piqued my curiosity however: just how expensive are cases over in the Netherlands? I'm asking because the Incipio I'm currently using only cost me about 5USD back in January.
[Nexus 6  General] damiloveu:
You'd better to get a Moto Droid Turbo or Moto Z Droid instead.
[Nexus 6  General] ghost010:
Why would i do that? There is a reason why i baught a nexus 6, its pure unbloated android. The 2 arent even sold here any more ...

Cases here are regularly around 20 eur.. mostly because nexus device isnt) wasn't sold to the masses. So either fork 20 or AliExpress a cheapo.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=1886313]damiloveu[/MENTION]: Neither of those devices would work in Europe as Europe doesn't use inferior CDMA technology.

I'm trying to root my Samsung galaxy tab A sm t580 using this guide: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-a/development/recovery-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666

Everything has gone smoothly up to step 11. However, when I try to transfer the supersu zip from my PC to the tab, I get an error message: "Cannot copy item. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I only get this error for supersu, other files will transfer normally. I'm very new to rooting, android, and windows so it's possible I'm making a very simple mistake but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the device boots, why not just download SuperSU.zip on the tablet via mobile browser? It's a workaround if you can't solve this.

Have you made certain that PC has full USB permissions, have you made sure your device settings are correct for allowing PC to access the device?

If you already have TWRP installed, you can boot to TWRP and use adb to push the SuperSU.zip file to the folder of your choice on the tablet.
