[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] SBFarooq:
hi,

I believe that by changing the drivers on the PC doesn't effect the State the phone is in, I mean that just because the Device Manager says that its the Qloader 9008 on port 10 doesn' mean that the phone is in the EDL state, if you connect it to a different port the phone would still be in the DFU mode itself.. so rather than working on the PC to recognize the phone in the EDL state, we need some method by which the phone should automatically be connecting to the pc as EDL!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
I'll be honest I can't disagree with your comment coz I don't know. My observation is that QFIL seems to write something to the phone (see the log), but also seems to fail at the end of the process.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Sn8K:
The numbers at the end of the driver's name is the mode which the phone is in. Swaping drivers won't change mode.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Hello, at #35, please could you explain a bit more?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nsabir:
You are exactly at the stage where i was a few weeks ago. My phone was in dfu state as well. And believe me, i too was determined not to open up the phone and try everything else that I'm capable of to revive the phone. But nothing helped, then i had no other option but to follow the 4th category brick guide. I had the phone disassembled by a professional so that i have minimal stretches on the phone. And then i did the test point to ground thing. And i tell you, it worked like a charm. Took me less then an hour to revive the phone. So, that's why I'm suggesting you to follow that guide, it will save you a lot of time. Hope i was able to make you understand.

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 AM ----------

He means, if you go to the driver properties and then driver id, you will be able to see some numbers. That defines what driver software is needed for that particular state of a device. If you Google the driver id you will find it's zte handset diagnostic interface (dfu) on the first result i guess. So that means if you try to manually change the driver software to Qualcomm it won't work, as the state of the phone is not on edl.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Thanks nsabir for explaining that. I took the phone to a local shop this morning but "they didn't work on ZTE phones". I explained all I wanted was dis-assembly but still no go. Looks like I'll have to have a go myself. Thanks to all that have contributed to this thread. I appreciate your input and can say I learnt something. Hopefully I'll be posting about my success in restoring the phone soon!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
nsabir,

Please could you tell me what you installed on your phone once you'd recovered it?

(I'd like to install TWRP and a Nougat flavour of Lineage.)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Hello nsabir,

Please could you tell me how you installed on your phone once you'd recovered it? Did you use MiFlash, QFIL or ADB for instance?

(I'd like to install TWRP and a Nougat flavour of Lineage.)

Regards
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nsabir:
Sure. Firstly, i followed the 4th category brick guide (Advise: you must release the test point a second or two after the miflash says send configure command). Used the #12 comment link for B10 in this process. Then, i reboot to edl and flashed N-B06 from this post https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-ztea2017v2-0-0b08-t3658636 and unlocked the BL using the axon7toolkit. After that, i followed this guide to install twrp and fastboot https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-reinstall-twrp-root-update-to-t3578552. After successfully installing twrp i just flashed magisk. Now, i'm using the stock N-B06, rooted, unlocked bl. If you plan to flash lineage just follow the official lineageos guide.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] HVMan01:
Many thanks nsabir, much appreciated. I'll get back on here when hopefully all is done.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] ifdoif:
hi [MENTION=8541664]HVMan01[/MENTION], did you get luck?

i'm in a similar situation... i've successfully install lineageos, but later i decide to execute "fastboot oem lock" so my phone can't boot, after 3 times reboorting it lights up the red light (i think it enters itself in edl mode). I can also entre EDL mode buy pressing vol up + vol down + power.

In windows or linux i can see the device but i cant do nothing..

miflash give different errors.. and axon7tool says no device found.

i want to flash the original room so i can recover the phone and install lineageos.

if you can share how you solve it, appreciated!

Also thanks for the "DFU unbrick" guide it was simple to follow.

after recovering it, I notice that the combination key power+volup+voldown don't enter edl mode any more, do you know why or do have the same problem?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troopa9:
This is driving me crazy!

Basically I bought a nexus 7 with a cracked screen to fix. Replaced the screen and all is good.

However theres a new issue..... The battery drains really fast. Even if I switch it completely off it will go from 100%-0% over night.

Other information..

Its a brand new battery

The top right of the screen gets hot, even when doing simple tasks

theres no information available for battery usage

Ive done a cache partition wipe, factory reset and re installed with no 3rd party apps.

I have installed gsam battery and even that doesn't give me much info. Mainly says screen is using the battery.

Is there anything I can try to help me figure this out or narrow it down.

Please help :(

[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] TheBoozer:
Yesterday I got a 32GB Xperia XA1 Ultra. After setting it up, I checked the internal storage in settings, it reported 10.4 GB used out of 32 GB. This makes sense, however when I connected the phone to my laptop (Windows 10) via USB, it reported the total phone drive size to be only 23.2 GB. I downloaded an app that analysis the storage drives and it also reported 23.2 GB. I don't think the phone is a fake because I check it with Sony and they confirmed that it is still under warranty and that the IMEI is legit.

I am a bit puzzled because when I connect my 64GB Galaxy S8+, the laptop reports the full capacity of the internal drive correctly (64GB). Please let me know if anyone else noticed this discrepancy in their Xperia XA1 Ultra phones.

Thank you
[Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra Questions & Answers] idontwanttobeanoob:
Probably has to do with partitions and the 23 something being what is left after what is reserved for system use

Found another great app Home Button Launcher that lets you remap the long press on the Note 8 Home key so it doesn't launch Google Assistant (which I never use).

It can either automatically launch a different app or a shortcut - or show a popup panel of apps/shortcuts:

I used to use All in one Gestures to do this - but that does not work on soft keys.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] shdwphnx:
I suppose I may have been a little too cryptic in my previous response. Here's some clarification:

The original instructions basically said to open a command prompt then run...

cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

You would of course need to replace [highlight]"Program Files (x86)\adb"[/highlight] with the location where you installed ADB, if it is different.

The [highlight]adb shell[/highlight] line is unnecessary and will in fact cause the next line to fail. That is the piece I was hinting to skip to in my previous post.

Alternatively, this sequence will also work...

cd "Program Files(x86)\adb"
adb shell
pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Are you referring to the Custom Navigation Bar or Home Button Launcher app?

I have been using both of these apps since I got my Note 8 (unlocked version) with few issues including using them to launch apps. If there is an issue I just select "Reset" from the menu within the app and that fixes it (usually one of the extra buttons becomes non-responsive)

I know this might be stupid question to some of you, and I've been searching through threads the last two days, non-stop, but I can't find anything about getting my GPS to work with my Wing.

Is there something I need to do? I've literally gone through every single setting (com ports and baud rates) to try and figure out which one it was, but it's not working. HELP PLEASE!
