I bought the axon 7 mini without knowing, that it will be a problem to find a custom rom / recovery / bootloader unlock.

Many months i´ve checked xda each week for News - so many thanks to tdm for his great work!

I ´ve a european (Austria) version of this phone.

Will everything you developed, also work on this phone?

TWRP, bootloader Unlock, Lineage?

Thx again for you hard work.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
I don't know. You can try.

First, note your model name in stock recovery and your Android software version, and let me know.

Second, try entering EDL with the key combo and let me know if that works.

If your Android version is 7.1, it is likely that TWRP and Lineage will work. Or if not, we could probably make it work easily.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
New TWRP is up in the recovery thread, version 7.1-r1. It should be fully functional now. I tested data decrypt and sdcard. I don't have an OTG adapter to test.

Thanks so much [MENTION=4126377]tdm[/MENTION] . So where do i start and how do i flash TWRP recovery and also how do i get the 7.1.1 b14 into my device? What i have is ZTE/P852A11/tulip

7.1.1/NMF26V/20170519.163520

I have tried several times to connect EDL mode but it won't work. It is stuck at the ZTE Powered By Android screen. Is there any anyother way to unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP recovery without using the Tuliptool? I am currently running ZTE B2017GV1.2.0B09.

Waiting for your instructions so I can get my device back to the US variant firmware.

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
The easiest way to flash TWRP recovery is by using tuliptool. Find the thread and follow the instructions there. After you have TWRP, look at my previous post and do what I requested:

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] mattx1002:
^Quoting myself. Is this what you're asking about? Or are you saying that even when your device is in EDL you can't see it on the computer? If that's it, then make sure you've followed TDM's instructions for drivers exactly as he puts them on his [UNLOCK] unofficial thread.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] mekzmaz323:
Hi!

Model is P852A11/tulip

Android 7.1.1. but B09 (not B12 or B14), cause it´s an EU Version.

EDL Mode via the key-combo does not work.

Only a splash screen with the ZTE Logo will apear and the device boots up normally.

If i want to apply update from SD (axon_mini_unlock.zip) then screen appears:

"....Installing update...

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") ==P852A12"

E:Error in /sideload/package.zip

(Status 8)"

But i can access the EDL via ADB command.

lock STATUS:

log: Finished sector address 0

log: Finished sector address 0

Then it have rebooted, phone wrote "ERASING", rebooted.

ZTE and Axon splashscreen, device is back to life.

EDL Mode again - lock STATUS:

Looks good so far!

The two commands...

tuliptool read boot

tuliptool read recovery

...have worked w/o a problem.

Should i flash the recovery and the boot now via EDL or not?

Because i read in this thread "[STOCK] Boot images with verity removed", that the boot image is for the B12 and B14 only.

Not for the european B09.

I don´t want to kill my device :)

Thanks in advance.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
Okay so you've got a tulip board and 7.1.1. That is good.

If you send me your stock boot image, I can make a version with verity disabled and I can also see how it's different from the US version.

It is highly likely that TWRP will work, but I can't guarantee it. Shouldn't be any harm in trying. Just keep your stock recovery backup safe.

You can try the fastboot enabled aboot if you like. It should give you the ability to enter EDL via the key combo. However, because this is not the US model, I cannot guarantee that it will work. There is a small chance it could brick your device. I doubt it would, but I just have to warn you that it is possible. So proceed with caution.

If you want to proceed, this is how:

Unzip the unlock package. It contains the file emmc_appsboot.mbn.

Boot into TWRP.

adb push emmc_appsboot.mbn /tmp/aboot.img

adb shell dd if=/tmp/aboot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot

I have tried connecting in EDL mode and it's not working.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
Using tuliptool in EDL mode to flash TWRP is the only way I know to accomplish this. Stock recovery will refuse to flash anything that is not signed by ZTE.

There are two ways to enter EDL: the hard key combo and "adb reboot edl".

If neither of these work, you can try flashing the official unlock package. This will write a new aboot that should make the hard key combo work.

If your recovery refuses to flash the official unlock package, you're pretty much stuck. The only hope at that point is finding a root exploit so that you could manually write the aboot partition.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] mekzmaz323:
So - everything is working on my EU-Mini :)

unlocked the bootloader

flashed the boot & TRWP Recovery

flashed the Lineage ROM.

tdm, great job!

There are two things:

1st: The european model is sold w/o 5GHz band for the WiFi (thats what ZTE says).

Since i´ve flashed the lineage OS, i can see 5GHz networks. I was very surprised after searching for networks and I saw both of my SSIDs. What the hell?

So the hardware was still there, but was not used ´till now? Can anybody confirm that?

2nd: The phone audio is still not working normal. After powering it up, i hear sound, 30 seconds later the phone is muted.

No in-call sound, no sound at all (youtube, etc...) That was today.

Yesterday it worked flawlessly in the evening. I´ve done two calls (one incoming, one outgoing).

But I´m sure you are working hard on it.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Flashed your AOKP - this looks good the last two hours (amazon music, system sounds...)

EDIT2:

5GHz WiFi looks stable. No disconnect at all.

2,4GHz Range is low and signal is lost sometimes (like you wrote)

EDIT3: Ran in to the same problem with the aokp rom, that there was no sound.

Doubled checked, rebooted. Sound gone again after 15 - 30 seconds.

Now i know why the problem occurs :)

After i started the google app, and recorded my voice "OK Google" - the problem started. No sound.

After deactivating that feature, sound was back.

Just 4 info.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
Hey everyone it's been a while, I've obviously been working fast and furious on development things. So here's where we are at right now after... what, about 4 weeks or so:

TWRP is functional and stable. I still want to make one more tweak, which is to save backups of /system as an image instead of individual files.

Stock firmware is mostly collected and documented. Still need to separate ES from AT though.

Lineage and AOKP are fully functional and stable. Remaining items include making selinux enforcing, fixing some sound and camera issues, and applying some kernel security patches. After that, I'll be submitting the device for official builds.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
Just got an email from my ZTE engineer contact. He says:

"I just got reply [from the China dev team] that there is no hardware difference between tulip and verdandi. We do not have any plan to release Android 7.1 for Canadian version.

I think your software should work on both tulip and verdandi. "

That is good news. However:

"Verdandi does not accept tulip firehose, because they are using different CA for secure boot".

So in order to support verdandi (the Canadian version), I will need the signed verdandi firehose. Unfortunately, ZTE will not give me their firehose (frustrating, but understandable). [MENTION=5253329]rombdeta[/MENTION] came through with this for tulip, so he's probably our best (or only) option.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
FYI ... think I got the audio fixed with hotword detection (assistant "OK Google" detection). Working on fixing Facebook Messenger camera. Should have that done in a couple days. After that, we should be ready for official nightly builds! :D

Just a quick update on audio...

I've figured out how to change the in-call volume. ZTE did this with some hacks to the audio HAL.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet figured out how to make this play nice with the Lineage tree (audio HAL hacks aren't really allowed). There must be a way, I just need to figure it out.

I've also been digging into the details of how audio works and I've learned a lot. The current amplifier HAL isn't really coded properly -- it mostly works by chance rather than by design. I'm working to clean it up.

Finally, I've been trying to figure out the speaker phone. That doesn't seem to work on Lineage, even when I replace the audio HAL with stock. Need to do more digging and learning.

Hey Canadian owners, could one of you try the jasmine tool and see if it works? It's possible they signed the jasmine and verdandi devices with the same key...

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] Bettaxis:
Does this mean that the Verdandi can be dual-sim enabled if the US Tulip firmware is flashed after the Verdandi Firehose is obtained?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
You are telling me that you have a dual sim tray but only one sim works?

Yes it's possible we could get both working. No promises.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] Bettaxis:
Yup, currently the Verdandi build has the same dual-SIM tray, which makes sense if they are built on the same hardware as Tulip, but only the first slot will work with a SIM, while the second is used for microSD storage. Which I suspect is a software lock.

Is there a way I can help get the firehose from Verdandi?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
First thing to do is try jasminetool to see if it works. Jasmine is the trek2hd, another zte msm8952 device.

Canadian variant

I'm curious why the Canadian version is locked out of custom roms? It can't possibly be that different than the US model. There seems to have been allot of work done on all other variants except the CA version from Bell. Is there anything I could do to jump start lineage on this
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] tdm:
ZTE signed the Canadian version with a different key, so tuliptool cannot work. Otherwise it's the same as the US version. All we need is a way to root the device to get TWRP installed. But nobody has been able to do that yet. It's running 6.0, I believe, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a root exploit.

Any progress on this? I just bought one from Amazon for the sole purpose of installing LineageOS on it and was having no luck doing anything once I got into EDL.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] qzjxk:
There seems to be some confusion on this forum about the so-called "Canadian version". Some people are referring to the version sold by PC Mobile. That version seems to be stuck on 6.0.1. No one here has reported a way to upgrade to 7.1.1.

If you bought the phone from Amazon then you can probably upgrade to 7.1.1. The OTA updates from ZTE haven't worked since they shut down most operations. I think you can still download the nougat update from a ZTE web site. There's a link to it somewhere on this forum. Check the version of your phone and if it's on 6.0.1 try the downloaded update. If you can get your phone on 7.1.1 then I think you can use the method on this forum to install Lineage.

Good luck.
