[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
DO READ ALL CAREFULLY ! I MEAN ..... ALL…

When installing this zip you have to know it’ll make your intSD to be formatted when you want to revert to Nougat (see later on) . So do follow instructions carefully, otherwise do flash something else….don’t want to see some tears due to this one ;)

So, thought I upload my twrp zip of A2017 V3.0.0B01 MiFavor 5.2 based on [MENTION=1827371]wineds[/MENTION] backup (thnx mate !). And make a FULL GUIDE for it !

As some of you wanted to test out this V3.0.0B01(version2) not through EDL but via a regular twrp zip, here you go !

Pros and Cons but did my best to make it as it is...

PRO :

*stock rom with Dolby

*almost fully debloated of Chinese adware

*working magisk 15.3 and safetynet

*working adaway

*magisk modules working fine

*no call bugs

*no hickups or stuttering UI

*scaling up to 0.25 – much faster UI experience

*axon7 G bootanimation

*FP scanner less then 1/2sec response time

*…

CONS :

*didn’t manage to make system r/w through root explorers ; you can however delete and add files - or use twrp - i guess you’ll have to live with that and test for yourselves

*reboot time lasts langer then normal

*quick-charging does work but does not display that on screen

*dialer phone call list may show some chinese characters next to "mobile", "work". It's a translation of it.

*…

Procedure : READ CAREFULLY !!!!!

0.	Download/place files onto extSD (not intSD) formatted as Fat(32)/exFAT (otherwise your extSD might seem “corrupt” when booted – see also PNW) :

f.	Magisk 15.3

1.	Do make a full backup of your intSD ! ( on pc or extSD like you want ). You’ll loose your intSD when reverting back and needs formatting to EXT4. YOU ARE WARNED!

2.	Install twrp3.2.1.0 (if not already running) !

3.	Do make a full backup in twrp3.2.1.0 of your entire working rom (boot, modem, system, data)(if not already done)

4.	Boot into twrp3.2.1.0 and flash twrp3.2.1.5(a), reboot in recovery AGAIN ( do not boot system)

9.	Flash magisk 15.3 (f)

10.	Wipe cache/dalvik

11.	Reboot

13.	You’ll be powered off/red lights

14.	Power for around 10sec and you’ll boot

15.	Tap middle circle on bootpage, choose English, setup wifi,check in,…..

16.	You’re on !

17.	Uncheck auto update into Playstore !

18.	Check safetynet magisk. Should be ok

19.	Check adaway. Should be ok. If not : check “systemless hostst” under magisk/settings

21.	….

You can add the new JoJoc module in magisk to juice up your battery-life :good:

Tip : disable left page (Mi-board) with long press on home screen/goto more/uncheck Mi-Board

REVERT PROCEDURE to Nougat : READ CAREFULLY !!!

1.	Boot into twrp3.2.1.6

2.	Flash twrp3.2.1.0 and reboot into recovery AGAIN (not into system !)

3.	You will see you have to “cancel” and swype and you’ll have to format intSD again. But first look also if you see your old twrp backup you took earlier into the restore option

4.	When so, go into wipe/advanced/wipe/choose data/change filesystem to EXT4

5.	Then go into wipe : wipe system/data/cache/dalvik

6.	Restore your old twrp backup

7.	Flash universal B15 ! (for nougat)

8.	Reboot

9.	Red lights...but power again for some secs

10.	You’ll boot

11.	When booted, reenter twrp again and flash ( if needed ) your own bootstack again ( in my case on G I flashed the B09 bootstack (slim4) and in same flash also the B09-removeBLwarning )

12.	Reboot and you’re on your old running rom now
