[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Dr_Raider:
Hey guys, I have a A2017 axon 7, and I tried to upgrade from Marshmalow to nougat by flashing the B04 update from TWRP. I have now the factory recovery mode, and when I try to go in fastboot, it tries to launch the bootloader( which just tells me that my device software cannot be checked for corruption and that I need to lock my bootloader). When I try to boot normally it stays on the same "bootloader screen" and tells me to press the start button which makes the phone display the linux logo.... I'm a bit lost, I'm on ArchLinux could you pls help me ?

Thx !

Well, you should use MiFlash and install the stock system through EDL. The problem is that MiFlash is for Windows x64. if you could get a win10 x64 pc, you could fix it in a minute.

Or get to the recovery if you can, and flash Nougat again but via an SD card. But maybe you won't be able to get to the recovery mode
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kantastisch:
I need help! I wanted to relock the bootloader but then I coulnd't enter the recovery or fastboot anymore. When I press any combination it always turn on for 1 sec and then the screen turns off again but it still GOT recognized as QUSB Bulk. After I installed MiFlash the device is recognized as QDLOADER 9008. I didn't flash anything and I don't kno how to unbrick my device now :(.

I use the A2017G model btw.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
How did you relock the bootloader? If you used a guide, you should have found a warning, and if you used axon7toolkit a message should've popped up.

You messed up. Real bad. You are probably on DFU mode, and the only ways to get out of there are:

-discharge the battery completely and try to enter FTM mode (i think you have to do that while it is connected to a PC), I think it was with volume down + power. this method works for very few people. If you enter ftm mode, issue 'adb reboot edl' and use MiFlash right away with a FULL_EDL package

-use the 4th category brick repair manual (disassemble the phone, short some pins)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kantastisch:
I think DFU Mode is when I get recognized as ZTE Handset diagnostic .... according to this guide : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898) It's a2017 but still.

"Axon 7 restore manual from bricked conditions when only ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface(DFU) (COM...) mode is detected"

But I get recognized as QDloader 9008 and miflash also recognizes it as com10 or something.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
it's not necessarily like that. DFU mode is just a mode in which the phone can be. Sometimes Windows just installs the QDLoader driver even though it's not EDL. and if you tried miflash and it didn't work, then it's most probably that.

There's a way to check. If you go to Properties, there should be a number that identifies the mode. if you google it and 'dfu interface' appears, then you are dfu-bricked

But if you locked the bootloader without being fully stock then it's most probably dfu bricked anyways

Again, how did you lock the bootloader?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kantastisch:
I don't actually know if I really locked the bottloader.

So, I had unlocked bootloader and twrp. I just bootet into the bootloader, typed "fastboot oem lock" in adb and it said OK on the PC.

But on the phone it never asked me if I want to lock it or anything. And I never said MiFlash isn't working. It recognizes my phone but i judt didn't TRY to flash anything because I didn't want to make the situation even worse perhaps
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Lol it doesn't ask you if you want to lock it, that's the point with bootloader mode. there's no system, no UI, and you make stuff via commands.

This is why you shouldn't even attempt this kind of stuff without knowing how it works. At least if you had used axon7toolkit, it would've told you not to.

Find a FULL_EDL package for your model. If you have an A2017, simply use this one:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634790942

or

https://mega.nz/#!JqwEUDCa!lW3NDaBNbmMxhtw6XajspHBJaaEmLC8uNvMZS5ww0EQ

(they are the same file)

Unzip it, leave the folder somewhere handy, put the phone in what you believe is EDL, open MiFlash and select the folder, and flash
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kantastisch:
Yeah, I screwed up, I know. But what is the point of flashing a full edl package for the phone if I have to put the phone in "what I believe id edl mode"?

And what shall I do if I succeed at something? Besided that, I can't find any EDL package for the A2017G?

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514

This guide tells me NOT TO flash anything on a2017g...
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
Okay let me tell you this real straight. I have done this. I have the G packages, I just thought you were the op for some reason. Look at the back of the phone and confirm whether you have an A2017G or an A2017 just in case, or you might mess up even more, as hard as that can be.

at any rate, your fears are all dumbfounded, because in the situation that you are in, you have 3 options:

a) disregard all the help that i'm trying to give you, even though I have already done the process; and keep your brick on a shelf.

b) search on google or xda yourself, then do the process, without bothering here with your lack of trust

c) follow my advice and do the damn process

Whichever option you choose, I'm gonna leave the package here:

https://mega.nz/#!UrxCRCrQ!a4sXVFu5oqct2sWStfN_luGpN5HEGXxE4FcrRteagQ4

or

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=961840155545591863

Again, I HAVE FOLLOWED THE 4TH CATEGORY BRICK REPAIR GUIDE AND FIXED MY G. I flashed stuff through EDL at least 10 times. And there wouldn't be a bunch of EDL packages for the G if they had a 100% chance of bricking your phone

So. If you decide to do this, turn your phone off. connect the USB cable to the PC but not the phone. Hold both volume buttons (but not the power button) and insert the USB cable at the same time. Then fire up MiFlash and try to flash the file (you have to unzip the folder, then select the folder on miflash, then flash. Here 2 things may happen:

a) it flashes and you can just go bother someone else

b) it doesn't and you have to follow the 4th category brick repair guide

Simple as that. if it fails, you might want to check if the 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008' is actually EDL mode or DFU mode, so you can do that by going to properties and checking some device identifier number on google (haven't done that, i just read that it can be done somewhere here).
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Kantastisch:
THANKS SO MUCH , you saved my ass, it flashed without a problem and sorry for bothering you. Bootloader is locked now and it works fine. Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] justin94:
So I've had this issue for a long time. I can't commit to 1 type of S-Pen tip. The black is more rubbery and great for accurate taps and some games. The white tip is more plastic and better for smooth continuous strokes for art and other games. I keep the spare tips with me in my backpack all the time. The problem is when I'm out and about, and I want to change tips, I don't have them with me.

The solution: Popsockets.

Allow me to explain. It is easy enough to pull the tip out by giving it a gently bite and pulling. The spare tip stays inside the pop socket. It is an almost perfect fit. The pics are pretty self explanatory. Hope this helps anyone like me.

I should mention this is for the note 5. As long as the note 8 tips are the same size or smaller, it should work for it as well.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Turn it off, then press and hold vol down + home + power which will you put you into download mode.

From there you can find the appropriate firmware from http://updato.com - it also has a guide on how to flash it using Odin with download links

Make sure you find firmware for the model listed in download mode, it's the true model information. Info in the 'software info' part of the phone can be faked.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:

Not yet, but I'm checking back daily to see.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Yes, i do this each morning as i wake up (cause why not), take phone off charger @80%, turn on flashlight and leave it for a minute or so till phone reads 79% (I've found phone needs to be less than 80% to work) once at 79% plug in then instantly power down and boot to download mode (1st screen that loads once button press is initiated) and leave it to charge as i get ready for work....charges to 100% in about 40 minutes give or take.

Doing this I'm averaging 7.25hrs screen on time (20%) so i could get 8 to 9 if i ran down to 5%. Or roughly 7 hrs down to 5% from an 80% charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Gabe2014:

Definitely a flash-a-holic here too. Anxiously awaiting the unlocked boot-load-her. Been running my ancient Note 3 on Lineage for the past couple months waiting for someone to take the 8's virginity.

Question

When you leave the phone charged that way the screen goes off or stays on all the time while it reaches 100 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Stays on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] StanTek:
So that's the work around for getting a 100% charge? That is a deal breaker for me as well. I commend everyone that was involved for getting out this root for the US Note 8. However, I can't but imagine some Samsung developers snickering at the fact that people are rooting their phones while loosing app features, having battery charging issues, etc. Until, there's a Unlocked Bootloader (to which you can use TWRP), the SAMFail root is not worth it to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Gabe2014:
Thanks ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
With 80% charge I'm getting 6.5hrs+ SOT and from 100% (download mode charge) getting 7.5hrs SOT and that's just to 10%.

Prior to root and full app install i was getting 6 to 6.5 from 100% to 10%.

Not pushing you to it, just laying out some actual use stats. Root has only made my note 8 experience better.....better SOT, better audio, 3minit battery...list goes on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] StanTek:
That's it right there, I'm not getting 6 to 6.5 from a 100% charge. I'm actually getting a good 9 hours from a 100% charge. I've had all my Android phones rooted in the past, including my iPhones. None of them I had to lose having a full charge, not being able to use apps because of root, etc. Who wants to put their phone in "Download Mode" everytime to get a full charge? Lol, in "Download Mode" you can't answer calls, send or receive texts, etc. Really?! It's just not worth it. Fortunately, I'm able to get away with using my cracked apps like AdGuard which blocks advertisements on my phone is my main use of root amoung other things. I can live without SamFAIL. Until you can put TWRP on your phone, its just not worth the hassle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] louforgiveno:
Well since i lack the FOMO any missed call or text will try again so to me its meh....to you it may change your world.....i would fear that too if it was the case....You shouldn't root until and if bootloader gets unlocked.....

??? That's kinda the norm, don't update a rooted O.S. with "official updates". I would agree its been patched in the J update. I always examine the archive & am suspicious of anything including a bootloader update! (previous experience w/ VZW!) I have dismissed the update notification frequently.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Dis] Eudeferrer:
If you upgrade the bootloader to a higher number Ex: 2 or 3, then you won't be able to go back to the previous one. You can upgrade all the way top Nougat and still get root, but although Oreo still has no Root you can try it out and still roll back to Nougat because the bootloaders are still 3.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rjlynn:
Are those episodes DRM-encumbered? You may have problems, but I'm not sure.

(Rant Mode)

My fair use rights have been written down in Sony vs. Universal. It is fair use for me to time- or format-shift any media that is broadcast to me. That is, if I paid for it once (cable bill), then I can use that broadcast for personal use as I see fit. However, most, if not all, ways of actually /purchasing/ videos and music online force me into a model where I am to be limited by my OWN PC enforcing what someone else claims as their rights. The DMCA then makes it illegal to modify any product I have purchased so that I can use the media contained within as I please.

So, since I don't have a DVR, I have a "friend" record it and give me a copy on BitTorrent. That was fair in the Analog World too!
