Getting a strange issue after following this guide. I am no longer getting the bootloader warning screen and also I am unable to get into bootloader mode, when attempted I get stuck on the ZTE screen. In addition to this I cannot find OEM unlock in developer settings. Thanks for this guide!

I have the same issue, did you find any kind of solution?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
Here is my take. Nfound has done amazing work. I love AEX. But I had trouble with charging and call sound issues I could not shake. As I use my phone for work I needed the stability so I went back to Official LOS 14.1 . I miss AEX and Oreo but I needed the stability. That is just my personal experience.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Aviver:
Im on lastest AEX and dont have any of those problems.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Solved it by flashing DrakenFX universal oreo Bootstack+modem instead of NFound's B12 BS. Running last AEX with magisk 16.4 on my A2017
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
Now that is an interesting thought. I have not tried crossing up bootstacks and ROMs. I say that because I think it was the bootstack giving me problems. Can you link which bootstack and modem you are using? Or is it the LOS 15 ones you are talking about?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] maddhatter0311:
I'm seeing a lot of talk of this DrakenFX universal Oreo bootstack, but I can't seem to find it. I did a search of the thread, but can't find any links to it. I went to DrakenFX's androidfilehost page, but I was unable to find the Oreo bootstack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: after posting this I saw DarkQuark's post, so I'm basically asking the exact same thing. Thank you.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I THINK it is this one but I would love to have confirmation before I try it. If I can solve my charge and call sound issue I would be back on AEX in a heartbeat.

The links are in the LOS 15.1 OP. I just flashed the bootloader, U modem and recovery, one after the other, and AEX booted fine. I didn't have a need or specific reason to do so. I just wanted to see if it works and test the combo.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] anon1135:

With which twrp do you flash these? I am on - 8. Can I just flash with that one?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
For this Boot Stack you should use TWRP 3.2.1-0 or TWRP 3.2.1-7. I really doubt 3.2.1-8 would work with the Universal BootStack.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
It does. I am using it. To be specific, the LOS 15 bootstack with 3.2.1-8 TWRP by Nfound.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
WARNING!!!!!!!

I wanted to test [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] Oreo Universal bootloader so I flashed it on top of the B12 Bootloader by [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] that I have been using lately. It just bricked my A2017U. Instead of booting into system or recovery, it returns the message: "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly." with a 30 seconds countdown.

The status is very weird. I can access fastboot and I can flash recovery. I have tried reflashing TWRP 3.2.1-0 and 3.2.1-8 using the fastboot flash recovery command, however that did not change anything. I am still stucked at boot.

I have also tried to boot recovery image using fastboot command fastboot boot recovery.img with the same results. I get that message.

But the most weird thing is that I can't access EDL mode by pressing VolUp+VolDn while rebooting, Instead I reach the infamous ZTE Handset Interface Mode (DFU) of the European model. Hey, but I have a 2017U !!!!!!

Anyway I will see how I can recover from this state. At least I have fastboot.

UPDATE:

I was able to boot system by pressing VolDn while rebooting. From there I just adb reboot edl and now from EDL mode I was able to recover the safety boot. Using that safety boot I was able to enter TWRP and reflash B12 again returning to normality. Nonetheless now I can't access EDL mode by pressing VolUp+VolDn while rebooting. I am still reaching DFU mode in my 2017U model. At this point I am not really sure about what caused this behaviour, B12 or Universal bootstack. I can only reach EDL mode by typing "adb reboot edl" command.

Are you experiencing the same issues under B12 Bootstack?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nodea:
Just hit the power button when the url text goes from yellow to red. Btw please read the LOS 15.1 thread. There is all explained. Yes no access by EDL but fastboot works.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Spooderman46:
That's what I was afraid of. I might give it another month or so for this ROM to catch up stability wise then give it a go. And I think I'm a bit tired of setting my phone up for the 10th time :)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] DarkQuark:
I am currently testing AEX with the LOS 15 bootstack. So far so good. The charge issue appears to be gone as well as the sound issues but I am still testing. It's a pain but I like AEX that much and having Oreo is very nice.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
Did you install OrdenKrieger's TWRP after the BL+Modem flashes? I had no trouble at all going from Nfound's bootstack to the universal bootloader+modem earlier today. I made sure to flash OrdenKrieger's TWRP after the bootstack with no restarts. AEX booted right up. That's why I referred people to the LOS 15.1 thread rather than direct link the files. The instructions are clear on this step. If I remember correctly, Drakenfx's bootloader installs an older, or incompatible, version of TWRP. OrdenKrieger updated TWRP and included this critical step to remedy that.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Actually It was all my fault. A few weeks ago I restored a complete locked version of a Stock OS to test the unlock procedure linked in one of my guides. After unlocking and flashing TWRP, I did a reboot disemmcwp but forgot to perform a reboot "no-verity enforcing". Without that, it won't boot correctly to custom recovery when using stock bootloaders.. So the safe procedure is:

1. enter TWRP terminal and execute reboot "no-verity enforcing" command.

2. enter TWRP again and flash Universal BootStack, your region modem and TWRP 3.2.1-7 all three in a row.

Nonetheless I still have the problem of not being able to boot EDL with the button combo. I can still boot EDL using the reboot edl command, but that won't help in a complete bricked state. And it is estrange since I have an A2017U that shoulnd't have that problem. I suspect the MiFlash flashable files from this guide overwrote some portion of my American firmware with the Euro firmware. But I would like to know if other users with the A2017U can still enter EDL by keeping VolUp+VolDn pressed while rebooting or turning it on. Do you have that problem using DrakenFX's bootloader with the american hardware?

I use B12 +AEX as my daily driver for work, no call or battery problems, A2017G. I came from LOS 14.1 via DU, Pixel Experience, and then AEX and I don't really notice much difference between any of them really, but Pixel Experience did have a few ****ty voice calls, not many, it was also the worst for battery oddly enough.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Choobilsky:
Yes, the one in the LOS15 thread by Ordenkrieger. Use it for some 4 weeks now without issue. The phone boots fast, is stable, audio quality very good, no call bug, no charging issue. I have V4A-module running in magisk, nothing else. And I use NFounds TWRP 3.2.1-8.

DrakenFX's works for me, the other doesn't. I find this remarkable.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] piet8stevens:
:D That is remarkable, indeed. It would be even more remarkable if we could figure out why one works and the other does not. For example, I run A2017G model with NFound's bootstack without a problem. Once we have figured that reason out, then all of this will stop being remarkable. ;) . And then everyone can just flash an unremarkable bootstack that works.

I did, I forgot to do a reboot "no-verity enforcing" command after my last unlock guide validation. That was the problem. It is not required for most bootstacks, but this one seems to be closer to stock and still requires that command in addition to reboot disemmcwp

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

The big problem was the EDL mode. Before it was possible to access EDL by pressing VolUp+VolDn while rebooting. After that you only had to flash recovery and bootstack using MiFlash or Axon7tool. No need to open the unit to shortcut those pads. Only the Euro version was unable to access the EDL mode through the buttons combo. That made the Chinese and American A3017 and A2017U absolutely unbrickable, but...

For some reason, that has changed for some of us. I suspect that the unlock guide using those Turkish files was overwriting the portion of the Chinese and American firmware with the Euro version, removing that EDL access feature. That makes me think that probably we could do the opposite, allowing that button combo in the Euro units by flashing the right bootstack taken from the Chinese or American firmware. Just a theory that maybe [MENTION=3044858]DrakenFX[/MENTION] or [MENTION=5492451]NFound[/MENTION] could confirm.

There's a known bug where you can't write to system with the B12 boostack.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Cablespider:
There's no difference that I can tell. Yet, results vary from user to user. You'll have to determine what works best on your phone.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
So, i know i said i was gonna use crDroid for my camping trip, but i ran out of time. Ended up going with the latest AEX on my phone. Weirdly, my battery lasted almost two full days without a charge. I used the camera quite a bit, photos and videos. I also used Spotify offline through a Bluetooth speaker for about 18+ hours between both days.

Something about being off-grid got rid of the battery drain. I only turned off WiFi, but my data and GPS were on the whole time searching for signal. I did nothing else special. How the hell did it last so long? My girlfriend had to charge her iPhone 3 times.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] EBeatFLA:
Sorry, I was referring to the general increased battery consumption B12 is causing everyone, not the audio battery drain bug.

Edit: Sorry again, I'm a little stoned... Just realized what you were saying. No I generally use Bluetooth headphones/car/speakers. When I get a chance I'll plug my hifis in and test that out.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Infy_AsiX:
Yeah I tried without audio mods too. All I've tested and seen is latest RR compared to a build back from April where it wasn't an issue. Whether it's just that build or RR or a common bug I don't know, no one's said they've seen it so. Just repeating I tried the old B32+10 bootstack on the new RR after reflashing ROM and the issue still exists, so not bootstack related.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] jrotaetxe:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Dodgexander:
Not a rumour at all.

Which boostack are you using? The bug is with the stock B12 that Nfound recommends (in his Androidfilehost AEX download folder) Not the universal boostack that comes from drakenfx in the lineage os thread.

Some people use the universal boostack with AEX fine. I try to find out why Nfound went from using universal boostack back to using stock B12 but I can't. It may have something to do with the fact the universal boostack may actually have an older base.

A2017X_BootStack_O_B12.zip with no problems. BTW, there is a link in my signature.

Just test it. Access you phone via ssh. Than mount /system rw and create a test file foo.bar in /system. Finally remove it and mount /system read only again. All shall work with "adb shell" as well. However I don't use it.

mount -o rw,remount /system
cd /system
touch foo.bar
rm -f foo.bar
mount -o ro,remount /system

If /system gets automatically reverted to read only without you doing so manually then you could try to run:

adb reboot disemmcwp
