I prefer the latter (extract the zip and flash the .img) but flashing the .zip file will work too.

hi! that could seem a stupid question for someone, but it has been so much time since i flashed something!

i want to try to root my (beautiful) 5T: i installed the drivers, turned on usb debugging and "OEM unlocking", i checked in adb if it sees the phone. everything working, cool!

i reboot the phone in fastboot and it disappears from the devices in adb! what went wrong?

edit: runned the 1+ driver installer again, now when in fastboot windows does his "you plugged something to me" sound, but adb still doesn't see nothing.

same problem :(

edit: that guy had troubles to have the phone shown up everytime, in my case when the phone is on it gets recognized fine.

only when it is in fastboot it has problems.

re-edit: i feel stupid. in fastboot mode, to see the device i had to type fastboot devices instead of adb devices.

well, i'll thank you .-.

I'm using Ubuntu Linux but so far I've only unlocked the bootloader and nothing else. You can either download the "platform-tools-latest-linux" zip archive for linux, or if you're on a Debian-based distro you could just install the "adb" package directly from the package repos (I chose with the former).

Everything else is the same; just run the same adb and fastboot commands as you would on any other OS.

Here's a guide you can follow for installing adb on Linux if you're still stuck:

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
You just need to check that its enabled, generally after the unlock it greys out but after a subsequent restart the option becomes available again so just make sure its always enabled if you are unlocked.

I unlocked the boot loader, flashed recovery(TWRP) and gained root access by installing magisk app.

And now I am unable to copy any files from the computer(mac/windows) to my oneplus 5T device.

Before rooting, I was able to transfer files but now its not transferring.I tries to get into developer settings-> Network settings-> USB Configuration -> MTP but still doesnt transfer any file .Also tried PTP in case MTP doesn't work still the same issue.

And even I am not able to create a folder in the internal storage of the device also.

Hello there,

I should receive my 5T by the end of the week and I was wondering if there's any use/effect to just unlock the bootloader and that's all if I'm not sure I'll ever take the time to root it? Root isn't a necessity for me, but if I'm not mistaken, unlocking the bootloader wipes everything on the phone so I assume it would be better doing it right from the start.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] 6STARSFIX:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Like, on the start? Look you need to enable USB debugging and keep the phone on and unlocked. Issue 'adb devices' and a pop-up should appear on the phone. Allow the connection and then try 'adb reboot edl'

The phone will seem like it's completely off but it will be in EDL mode
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jjremax:
Actually, I enabled USB debugging and kept the phone on. I don't understand the meaning of keeping it unlocked, which I thought that was what I am trying to do.

I re-did the whole process and finished the step 9 (Flash and wait until it is done). However, the device won't be on after long press the power button as indicated in Step 10. What should I do now?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Make it a really long press. Like a couple of minutes long. After that release it and hold it again, it should boot up

What I meant with 'keep it unlocked' was that you had to leave it with the screen on, not locked.

Thanks for the info. I have long pressed the power button more than 4 minutes, but it still won't power up. I saw the LED light up very shortly and felt the phone motor vibrated little bit (You normal can feel the vibration very strong before I did such unlock bootloader thing when the phone powers on). Also, it would repeate such LED and little motor vibration if I hold the power button long enough. How should I do? Thanks again.

This method worked for me on a A2017G running stock B08 (Nougat) with locked bootloader.

Build number: ZTE A2017GV1.2.0B08

Only difference was between step 10 and 11. The device was encrypted so I ended up in the "enter password" dialog after flashing, reset and reboot from edl (because of verity break I guess).

I had to force the device manually into the bootloader (switch off and then hold Volume-Up and Power button to get into the recovery and then to the bootloader).

BTW: Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 directly after first boot with axon7tool and then installed Magisk 15.3. Magisk seems to work pretty well for me with this device, root/SU support is working and SafetyNet Patch is also fine.

Thanks for the guide and the links again!

Why everyone here do it this hard way ?

I done it yesterday with the regulär fastboot commands and it works pretty good to inlock the bootloader. I'm in 2017G, but should works on all the other variants.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Martinius79:
Hello Tunox!

What do you mean with regular fastboot commands?

You went into the bootloader, connected the phone via USB and used "fastboot unlock-oem" ?

Does your phone now show a text message while booting/starting saying that the bootloader is unlocked?

And which build number does your phone show?

Bye

Martinius

PS: Grüße aus Berlin :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tunox:
Hey Martinius,

you're correct. Just enter the fastboot mode (trough the recovery Option maybe) and the open a cmd and look, if your device is in air ;) if yes, then you only need to type "fastboot unlock OEM bootloader" , wait and hit "des" in the phonescreen. Thats it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
You can not use fastboot on latest versions. ZTE turned fastboot commands off

They don't give us G guys the easy way out either. They got rid of fastboot on N B01 and you had to install it via TWRP with ADB (push an aboot.img and fbop.img to the system) to get it again.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WASSHOI:
Why has nobody answered with the password to this? When you do this, your phone's pin gets reset to something unknown and you can't proceed.

I'll throw a bone to help out anyone who got into the same problem as I did.

If you're stuck on a lock screen after flashing your phone and don't have the password (you shouldn't have the password) do the following:

1. Reboot holding Vol. Up and Power at the same time

2. Go into fastboot from here manually

3. Run the fastboot oem unlock-go command
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Choose an username...:
Or you can do something much easier which is get into TWRP and delete the lockscreen password files under data/system. Just saying :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WASSHOI:
If you're first setting up your device to be unlocked and rooted, chances are you probably don't have TWRP installed yet so just have stock to deal with. If you have TWRP, then yea this would be your bet. It still doesn't change the fact that this issue was never addressed, and I question why there was even an encryption password added to this in the first place. Feels like a weird oversight.

I just got my device and was doing this quickly. Not my first rodeo with unlocking a bootloader or anything, I was just a little peeved when I bumped into this wall and even though it was easy to bypass I knew that some people following the guide may get frustrated at that part.
