Found the test-points, got into EDL, flashed stock boot and recovery (from backup), still bootloop xD

The strangest thing for me was booting into stock recovery after flashing twrp with tuliptool...

(I have B2017G, should be US version)

Oh, btw, one of the steps killed my splash screen (I think it was flashing official unlock zip with stock recovery). I made it back by flashing "splash.img" with fastboot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ygb7:
I am one of the original pledge members in "We need help from Original Axon 7 Developers If we want Root and Roms we need to Give" forum. I decided to check back for current status.

Where are we now? Has the developer achieved Root & TWRP recovery for Axon 7 Mini. If yes, where are the most current instructions to root & flash TWRP?

I will try the procedures to Root my Axon 7 Mini & install TWRP & report success or failure.

Thanks you.

TWRP and root have been working for about four weeks now. TWRP has a thread, and there are instructions floating around for SuperSU. Folks are saying to use version 2.79.

axon 7 mini

guys help out! after unsuccessful firmware, the device hung on the zte, I managed to flash the stock recovery, and now it does not see the flash drive to install the firmware. what can be done? in edl does not enter.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Some questions...

Is this a US model? I am guessing no. I think only the US model responds to the volume keys at boot to enter EDL.

What do you mean "after unsuccessful firmware"? What exactly did you try to flash, and how did you try to flash it?

How did you flash the stock recovery? Can't you use the same procedure to flash TWRP?

Finally, in answer to your question, you can try sideload.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nten2:
firmware via sideload gives installation aborted
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
I'm afraid you aren't giving enough details for me to help. Please answer my questions.

I suspect you are trying to flash one of my packages with the stock recovery. This won't work. You need the official ZTE zip file to flash with stock recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nten2:
I tried to restore the stock firmware, installed boot stack, then recovery, rebooted, I wanted to install the firmware from the flash drive and he did not see it. I tried to update.zip, adb writes can not read and the firmware does not go.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
If you cannot get into EDL (likely because you have an EU model) and you have stock recovery, your only option is to flash an official ZTE zip package. Download it from the ZTE site, and keep trying to get it flashed. Both sideload and sdcard methods should work.

Good luck!

When I try to unlock and it gets to the part where you have to type I agree, I type I agree and then it just goes to command prompt again and that it, what am I doing wrong
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
That's strange. I thought it should give you some message for pretty much all situations. Are you sure that the device is connected to the PC and in EDL mode?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acdcdabest:
Yes it shows it is just liked u explained in your directions about installing drivers. If I try to use adb it says device not detected and if I try fastboot when booted into bootloader it says waiting for device. If I read boot and recovery in edl it works fine. If I check lock status it always says locked and untouched or whatever. I tried the unlock package in recovery mode and it goes thru all of it just like it worked but it don't change nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Glad it worked for you and thanks for the detailed write up. My paypal is on my profile.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] :
The unlock package doesn't unlock the bootloader, but allows you to access fastboot in order to unlock the bootloader. This is where you use ADB

If you're using ADB instead of tuliptool, I'd recommend that you use the "Install drivers" option that appears on the A7 Mini when connected to a PC. You'll only need to use the drivers in the OP if you choose to use tuliptool.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] acdcdabest:

Any success with the Canadian Bell b2017g 06 version?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dreas74:
Hi,

I buyed a A7m and flashed the boot and recovery image with tuliptool.

The flash was successful but the device don’t start.

It hangs on the blue zte logo.

I can’t access the twrp menu. No button combo works.

I tried much combinations.

After an hour I reflashed the backups from the original boot and recovery images.

The device boots and all is ok.

I tested the bootloader and it was closed .

I opened the bootloader with tuliptool lock unlock.

I reflashed the twrp image, but I can’t access the twrp menu.

It opens the stock recovery every time.

My device is an A7m EU model

B2017G

Android 6.0.1

Build B2017G V1.0.0B09

Please give me a feedback whats wrong.

Thanks

dreas
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mekzmaz323:
Hi!

After flashing TWRP you have to press the button combo for the recovery instead after the reboot.

If you allow a full boot, the recovery will be overwritten during this first boot.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dreas74:
at first, thanks for your help!

another question, what is the exact button combo to access the twrp menu?

i think this combo is different to the us model.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] mekzmaz323:
Power off the phone.

Press and hold volume UP.

Press the power button until phone powers on.

Hold the volume UP button until the recovery appears.

If you just installed TWRP and the tuliptool reboots the phone for you, just press the volume UP Button and hold it, until the phone enters the recovery.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dreas74:
ok, it worked.

after many flashs.

the problem was, i must update the base os to 7.1.1.

now the twrp and the boot image are working fine!

i flashed the su 2.79 as zip.

currently i testing the stock rom, install xposed and so on.

i only buyed the phone when supersu is available.

android is useless without root.

thanks all for the great stuff!
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Flapjack:
Were you ever able to root the K88 using this tool? I got the same error you got in this post: "Failed to send programmer: Unknown error". I tried several different PCs (all Win10 x64) and several different types of USB hubs/ports.

Here is what I get when I enter the commands TDM referenced:

C:\Temp>adb shell getprop ro.build.product
jasmine
C:\Temp>adb shell getprop ro.build.fingerprint
ZTE/K88/jasmine:7.1.1/NMF26V/20170828.115541:user/release-keys

With the giant dump of these K88s on the market, you'd have thought someone would have gotten at least root... if not the bootloader unlock. I even tried Kingroot. That was my last hope, lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] eDooM85:
No luck

No luck for the K88,

Btw I was checking the procedure for unlocking the Axon 7 (not mini) and ZTE locked pretty hard the device on this guide the first step is unlocking the fastboot mode (with this file "FASTBOOT_UNLOCK"), so pretty much this confirms if we don't get a service release rom (the rom that has de programmer file, wich enables to use miFlash or tulliptool) the K88 wont get a bootloader unlock or Root, although internally its almost the same device as the axon 7 mini
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Flapjack:

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jumpychampak:
Could you please do so? Also, is tuliptool even required, since there is an official bootloader unlock available? Could I use that to flash TWRP instead?
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
MacOS version added (tuliptool-darwin). I verified that it runs, but have not actually used it from MacOS.

No unlock is necessary for the device. It comes unlocked from the factory, despite any indications saying otherwise. The main use for tuliptool is to flash TWRP so that you can then flash a custom ROM.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jumpychampak:
I flashed TWRP using the "official unlock" you've posted on the other thread, and it worked perfectly.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] marvelljones:
No. Unless it happens every time, it's "normal" for this phone. I do not remember the reason why. You just have to hold the power button down like you are already doing. I'm using a different phone right now, but my mini does the same thing occasionally.
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jumpychampak:
I was able to flash TWRP and LineageOS with the "official unlock". Tuliptool always gives me the "Failed to connect to programmer: Operation timed out" error, although the part before that with "log: logbuf@0x08067EB8 fh@0x08064D20" hasn't happened again.

[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] SurrealScene:
Having some weird issues, if anyone has any ideas it would be very helpful :)

Backing up recovery and boot img using Tulip worked perfectly.

Tuliptool lock unlock also worked, (wiped device and lock status now reports it's unlocked).

Tuliptool write recovery seems to work (I get no failure message) but, when I reboot into recovery mode it simply loads the stock recovery. No matter what I try I cannot seem to get TWRP to actually stick, it just seems to revert to stock recovery.

log of the recovery write:

c:\tuliptool>tuliptool.exe write recovery recovery.bin

EDIT:

Ok, so it seems that allowing the phone to fully boot after flashing TWRP will overwrite it with the stock recovery and the solution is to hold down vol+ as EDL mode resets but all that does on my device is cause a ZTE hang until the screen times out. Once I wake the device back up, it shows a white screen and nothing else.

This causes the phone to not boot at all and instead hang at the ZTE logo. If I repeat the steps but allow a full boot after flashing recovery the phone will boot normally.

I'm at a loss ><
[ZTE Axon 7 Mini ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] tdm:
Stock will usually over write recovery as it boots, wiping out twrp. The solution to this is to do the following:

1. Write noverity boot image with tuliptool.

2. Boot into stock to make sure it works.

3. Write twrp with tuliptool.

4. Boot into twrp.

5. Mount /system and delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p

6. Reboot and you are done.

[Nexus Player General] MrJinx123:
This really should be asked in the dev forum, But my post count is not high enough or worthy!

I have several Nexus Players I plan on selling with the oreo update pre installed, There are 2 addl non playstore apps I need to include as part of the package.

I'm trying to avoid "profiling" the devices to add the 2 extra apps. I have flashed the oreo upgrade to all 8 of them.

I cannot push the apks without profiling to enable adb nor can I seem to find a good zip template to make use the bootloader recovery adb function.

I have tested a few and they all fail with footer and signature failures? I'm only left with a few ideas. Please comment if you can help with any of the options below or suggest a better one..

1. Find a proper update.zip template that works with nexus player..Oreo 8.0 or can bypass the check..

2. Can apps installed in a profiled device be preserved thru a reset method that would allow the device to startup with the first run screens re-instated? Remote setup, WiFi, User account.. Out of the box experience?

3. Can an APK or ZIP be copied to a location on the Nexus Player that would allow it to be installed on first run? (I seem to think Youtube does this)

4. Least popular... Modify the Oreo upgrade img to have the 2 apps pre installed? <--This option looks messy..

Any suggestions appreciated!! Thanks
[Nexus Player General] rufy93:
I suppose #2 is possible if you install as a system app.
[Nexus Player General] MrJinx123:
After careful examination, #2 and #4 are really the same thing. Without root, I would have to mount the oreo system.img file in linux and add the 2 apks to root/system/app then repack the img file to re-burn the rom. Not exactly sure if that would be enough, I assume there is some checksum or signing in the image file to prevent guys like me from modifying it. :D Also what would happen after google hits it with an update? would these apps survive? Finding the answer to why the stock Oreo bootloader recovery adb fails to accept the typical update zip format will end up being the right solution.
[Nexus Player General] rufy93:
If you wish to flash using the stock recovery, the update zip must be properly signed. This usually means by the oem private keys.

I haven't been following the modding scene for a long time, but I'm sure these are still inaccessible.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xda rocks:
Hi,

I am from India and I wish to buy a brand new S8+. But the cost from Samsung India is quite high than the same from ebay which is $150 lesser than the Samsung India Price. So,I am now planning to buy the device from ebay (I know that it is a genuine Original Samsung device because of the seller). This device is imported from middle east (Unlocked). Now my question is that, Once i bought the device from ebay and flash the official S8+ ROM of India (via Sammobile using ODIN), will such activity trip my Knox counter or will treat this as an unauthorized ROM. I need to use Samsung Pay and Knox features and wanted to keep my device intact (un-rooted and official).

NOTE: Since, I did not bought the device from Samsung India, I may not get the warranty from them; I am ok with that. What I care more is that. will flashing the official ROM of a country (in this case India) into a foreign device (which is from Middle east, that is knox safe) will trip the knox and make unusable to use Samsung pay and other security features? Will I get OTA of India firmware whenever there is an update? Shall I go ahead with this purchase from ebay and flash India ROM from Sammobile?

Please clarify.

No. Knox will stay 0x0.

Hi,

I'm switching from an iPhone 6S to a Note 8 this week (I hope) and I'm trying to stave off the impatience and wait with planning things like my Homescreen.

Is there any simple software I can use to install a 'normal' Samsung Note 8 UI on my PC and then install apps/wallpaper/icons/etc in order to pre-plan the UI?

I'd much rather plan things on my PC and then transfer appropriate files than muck around on the phone itself and not be able to easily switch back to one that I know works if I'm in the midst of setting up & have to stop...

I've not used Android since the first Google phone MANY years ago (which got sent back & replaced by an iPhone 3 I think!) so I'm nervous about using Android again - hopefully it's improved since then...
