Uninstall the driver you've installed via Device Manager.

On Google, search for

Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Driver 64-bit [Windows]

and click the first link. Download and install, and reboot your computer. Plug your phone back in, and check Device Manager to see if it's recognised.

If still showing ADB, unplug the phone and try to turn it off. Hold both volume buttons, and plug in the usb c cable into the phone at the same time. This should take the phone into a black screen, which is EDL mode.

As runninghamster said, It is normal that after USB cable plug you see only ADB android device interface in Device Manager (assyming USB debugging mode is ON).

On the PC (inside the directory where you have both adb.exe, fastboot.exe, AdbWin*.dll), type "adb devices" to see if your phone (device) is listed with its device id. In this state, only "adb" command is only available, "fastboot" command it not available. Type "adb --help" to get help and list of adb commands.

From this state (adb mode):

- To enter bootloader mode from adb mode: type "adb boot bootloader": your phone should reboot in bootloader mode with its own menu (selection with Vol-Up/Vod-Dn).

It should be no change in Device manager, but you can now use fastboot.exe command, e.g. "fastboot devices."

if there is answer, your are well in bootloader mode, and your devices answer correctly. To reboot, type "fastboot reboot". Remember, in fastboot mode, only fastboot command is available, "adb" command is not valid. Other fastboot command: "fastboot oem device-id" to check your phone status. Type "fastboot --help" to get help and list of fastboot commands.

- To enter EDL mode from adb mode: type "adb boot edl": the phone will reboot, with black screen: normal. Its is EDL mode, in device manager, you should seen COM/LPT ports section,

the Qualcomm HD-USB QDLoader 9008 device. In EDL mode,.To reboot system, press Power button for about 10-15s then release it after phone vibration.

You can then use either Axon 7 Toolkit or Axon 7 EDL tool. The first toolkit as test mode to check for your configuration and driver installation.

Note: as far as I know, there is no possibility to return to fastboot mode when you are in EDL mode, you have first to reboot system.

Hey everyone,

the screen of my Axon 7 is broken. Is it possible to change the tool to also backup the userdata? Would be a hug help for me!!

That would also be a solution for my broken Axon 7 which lays in the Drawer since almost 2 Years. My plan is to order a new display and change it by myself, but when it's possible to backup the userdata that will be insane.

Ask about the subfolders exist in the edl mode thread

Hi everyone , sorry for my lot questions , am still not familiar with , this is my first experience with things like that , the edl tool is so helpful and i found many people recommended it so i will unloack my bootloader after downgrading from oreo to naugat and then upgrad and flash twrp , Then format and boot into B02 and then flash LOS 16 but i want to ask please here about the subfolders ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Structure of program folders:

1. Folder flash - in this folder you need to copy the files you want to flash

Subfolders:

folder full - if you want to flash full firmware (official, adapted for EDL mode), then in this folder you need to put all the files from the firmware for EDL mode:

its name usually looks like this: A2017 _......._ FULL_EDL

folder boot - if you want to flash your kernel file, you need to put a file named: boot.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)

folder recovery - if you want to flash your recovery file, you need to put a file named: recovery.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)

folder modem - if you want to flash your modem file, you need to put a file named: NON-HLOS.bin in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)

folder splash - if you want to flash your splash file, you need to put a file named: splash.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)

2. Folder backup - the folder contains backup copies of the phone partitions created by the program

Subfolders:

folder all - this folder contains backups of all partitions, except userdata

folder full - this folder contains backup of all partitions included in the FULL EDL firmware

folder boot - this folder contains a backup of the boot partition

folder recovery - this folder contains a backup of the recovery partition

folder modem - this folder contains a backup of the modem partition

folder splash - this folder contains a backup of the splash partition

folder efs - this folder contains backup of the efs partition

3. Folder unlock - contains all the necessary files to unlock (do not touch it!)

4. Folder logs - contains all the logs of the program

5. Folder tools - contains all the necessary files for the program (do not touch it!) ---------------------->My question here about the subfolders should i just make the twrp recommended in the folder recovery and the two roms b 02 and b 12 in the folder flash or all the folders i should make in them some files ( folder backup , folder boot , folder modem , folder splash, folder unloack , folder logs ,foler tools ) if yes tell me what i should put in those folder exactly .am in a mess . thanks and please help me

Hi!

First of all, great tool! I have a big problem though: I managed to flash a full EDL package. Then I tried unlocking the Bootloader and the phone became completely unresponsive. Buttons don't do anything, ADB doesn't detect the phone BUT the phone is being recognised as Qualcomm 9008, which from what I've gathered means there's still chance of saving it. I have tried flashing different EDL packages with no luck - the program just gets stuck at "Loading the programmer: prog_ufs_firehose_8996_ddr.elf >>>" and doesn't do anything else. I have also tried the older version and the Treble version, same issue.

MiFlash gives me an error reading "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (0x8007000b: Load programmer "Axon7_EDL_Tool_TREBLE\flash\full\MPRG*.hex")".

QPST gets stuck as well.

Any ideas? I'm really getting desperate.

Also, I'm on the G variant. No device damage at all, it was running smoothly before any of the procedures.

Is this tool outdated now? I bought a busted Axon on Ebay from one of those recycling places and I tried this tool to overwrite the FRP lock. All seemed to work but I rebooted and no change.

Edit: I've just discovered that there's some weird permissions stuff happening. Will test and report back

Edit 2: Apparently the tool can't find a **** ton of files, although they are definitely there. Folder is at the root of `D:\`. I'll keep fiddling

Edit 3: Not sure why, batch code is not my strong suit, but the old version of the tool worked just fine. Oh well.

Hi.

I flashed Oreo 8.0.0 FULL EDL on my ZTE A2017G. Could anyone explain what is going on with my software because when I power on the phone always starts with this screen below. After 10seconds it launch ZTE colorful intro screen. In addition I have noticed that I can't step in fastboot. If I choose this option the phone still launch the system.

And another strange thing. OEM unlocking option is grayed out but it inform that is unlocked.

1. Put all files from FULL EDL firmware in the folder Axon7_EDL_Tool\flash\full\

2. Run the program Axon7_EDL_Tool.bat and select the Flash -> Flash FULL EDL

hi everyone again I have a problem with one of my 2 a2017u, one was like in brick stage, I manage to flash it on edl mode with B29, bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is flashed.

fastboot is working, and to boot into TWRP I got a latency of around 15 minutes to make it fully boot, then every 2 minutes it froze!

I have also access to adb via TWRP when it is not freezing.

First I thought it is because the encryption is busted, so I flashed no-dm verity, but the problem remains consistent and it did not made any changes.

Cannot even boot into the full system, it is like in boot loop, but it is actually not one day I left the phone booted for around 4 hours then I saw the full system loaded but like frozen!

I am adding here my kernel log and twrp log for someone to see and try to have a clue on what is happening in this device...

this may be unrelated, but do you have an sdcard? did you try to take it out? I had that same problem with a dead sdcard before

Your best course of action would be to get TWRP and install Lineage or something. After your phone is working, install the FULL EDL package and profit.

I'll write the instructions and give the necessary files.

The only condition is the flash the FULL EDL firmware via MiFlash (in the EDL Tool I did not implement it because I previously did not need this).

Nothing complicated, just download the package with the FULL EDL firmware and copy into it the special xml file and flash it through MiFlash. In this case, all the USF memory will be formatted first, and then the FULL EDL firmware will be flashed.

Be sure to make an EFS backup !!!!
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] manu7irl:
if it works you are my savior! the efs partion might be corrupted also I am not entirely sure of its condition right now...

Instructions for formating UFS memory

1. Download package with FULL EDL firmware and unpack it.

2. Make a backup EFS

3. Download View attachment provision_hynix.xml and copy it into folder with FULL EDL firmware files.

5. Restore EFS.
