[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] tdm:
No need to disassemble the phone. You can always get back into EDL with this method:

http://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html

Note that you should unplug the device to remove the wire in step 10 to avoid any possibility of damage. The device will remain in EDL mode until rebooted.

I don't have a G model, and I don't run stock. So I can't help there except to recommend that you flash back to a supported Lineage build to unbrick.

Good luck.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Warcon:
I already tried the wire method and the EDL-cable method. Unfortunatly both of them failed.

imho, the axon 7 teardown is very easy and worked fine for me.

I'll try to flash the newest lineage, maybe it works for me. But I still think there is more corrupted than just the OS. All I can do is booting into recovery and getting stuck at the penuin screen or at the axon 7 screen at the end of the stock boot animation.

Edit: No luck with Lineage or any other rom. I think it's a wrong setting or something like that, but I don't know how to set everything back to default
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
keep this in mind, not all G users can do the cable procedure. He's just one more on a pretty big list. It's okay to suggest that unbricking without disassembly is possible but it's nowhere near 100% (or even 50% i'd say) effectivity. Same with FTM mode, people reported that they could get there after draining the battery, well it didn't work for everyone

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

First flash a full EDL image, such as Nougat B10 or whatever new G package is available. Then you can install TWRP via EDL with "EDL Tool" by djkuz for example. After flashing you HAVE TO GET INTO TWRP or it'll get overwritten with the stock recovery. once you're there, to install lineage you'll need vendor, follow the procedures to get a working vendor and you're done
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Warcon:
After some failures I finally managed to flash the B12 Nougat full EDL. Best I can do with that is getting the Axon 7 logo after the boot animation. I'll try to install TWRP with the EDL Tool now.

edit: TWRP works for now. I'll backup the whole thing before it goes crazy again.

edit2:

TWRP: works

options menu: works

fastboot: stucks at black screen with a little penguin

booting after 5sec screen: stucks at black screen with little penguin

Does anyone has a step by step tutorial how to fix this ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
You have no fastboot, because N builds don't have it by default. If you select fastboot it simply boots into system. (in your case it attempts to, so it ends up in the same situation).

Try to install LOS14.1 maybe, since it's just modem, bootstack and ROM. I have zero hope that it'll work but it may as well do the trick. I have no idea why this is happening to you but it's just plain weird, I mean EDL should reflash most partitions

[Android Head-Units] biggiom4:
Recently installed Px5 unit (A 8.0)and really happy with it. However, my van has only 2 front speakers and as i'm converting it i installed speakers in the rear. Ive spliced the rear speaker cables from the loom and connected the rears directly onto that and i am getting some sound.

The issue is i have no real volume or quality sound from the rear speakers - just a tinny, no base sound. I have no clue why this would be and wonder if there is a setting somewhere that priorities the sound output strength to the front speakers.

Very grateful for any help please.

What software channel are you on now? Are people getting OTA updates on the new channel? (Can't quite understand why they wouldn't...)

Where did you get the download? And were you already on the August update on 8.0?
[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] abrfilho:
Yes, the tutorial to return to stock have a script with the necessary commands, it's all through fastboot.

Now I'm using LineageOS 16, but the software channel is hardware dependent, I'll try to explain to you why people with different software channels don't receive OTA, each software channel is like a server, they provide the software to the clients, the phones, each server act independent, retbr have one software, retus have other, reteu other and so on... If you put a ROM on your phone that your software channel don't have, like flashing Android One, a ROM that only retus have, on a retbr phone, the phone will lose OTA, because the software channel don't support Android One, even if you flash Android One, the software channel will remain the same and you can't change it.

You can find the Android One 8.1 and Retail 8.1 with August at AndroidFileHost, I have Android 8 with only June patch, retbr support this ROM and I think the others software channels, except retus and amz, support it too, and because of that.

You can find the file here, it's my folder: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TLzouN4KKdxysxkMaBKEzlfg9-ptEiO_

[Moto X4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Comby_sk:
[MENTION=3398177]flamand[/MENTION]

I have no idea what "Blur_Version" means. Read this thread. Grabbing OTA is possible using this site or this tool.

Adb command "adb sideload /path/to/the-file.zip" is correct. First you have to enter recovery, choose "Apply update from ADB" and run "adb sideload /path/to/the-file.zip" from PC (look here). You can apply update from external SD card too.

Thanks!

Playing around with the params in that URL, and it appears that they are sequential, and not cumulative updates, so replacing the "Blur_Version.28.241.11.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US" in the URL with "Blur_Version.28.251.17.payton_fi.google_fi.en.US" should give us the next one. It does error out, which I would assume that is not available, or has been pulled.

Good afternoon XDA.

I'm trying to get Magisk installed on my phone, but I'm really struggling.

Any hints/tips? I've followed instructions to every forum post and every Youtube video I've tried.

AFAIK, I have managed to install TWRP without issue, although after I've rebooted my phone into recovery, it encrypts the data folder, meaning if I patch any zips in TWRP, I have to first format the data to EXT2 and back to EXT4 for me to be able to mount the folder, which I think is where my problems lie.

After this, TWRP seems to look like it's installed the Magisk.zip without any issues, but when I install the magisk apk once I've booted back into Android, it says it is not installed, and is asking me to either download the zip again, or find a boot image to patch.

The ROM I have installed is also custom as far as I'm aware, as the kernel says "adriandc@Destiny #2'

Android version: 8.0.0 (I don't mind using an older ROM, like 7 if it means I can get Magisk working.

[Android General] Holm182:
I found something interesting and I had to share. At Walmart they sell those portable hotspot devices ( specifically mine's ZTE z291dl ) but their data plans are crazy IMO. For 5gb it's like $50! And it has a data cap! I've got a S6 edge ( g925a ) with a BYOP ST nano sim. Using a micro sim card adapter (one size larger) I can put that in the portable hotspot and now my data is unlimited. The only annoying aspect is when I need to use my phone I have to switch the sim card back into my phone.. No throttle on the hotspot. When I put the SIM back in my phone the data is throttled (if I'm over) . But I can still switch it back and forth, kind of a pain but I can just connect my phone to the hotspot. NO MORE THROTTLE ON DATA.

I have to add, I tried putting my girlfriends regular straight talk sim card in it and it didn't work. My conclusion, it needs to be a BYOP sim card. The phone I have (S6 Edge) was originally from at&t.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Well, it would be nice having adb and B12 encryption supported in the same TWRP kernel.

Returning to topic, the release is really nice and smooth. No troubles, everything works as expected when doing a clean flash. It adds a lot of options to the base LOS15.1.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] ibphantom:
I'm having battery issues. Fast charger works sometimes. Checking ampere, I only charge around 750mA. If I mess with the kernel, it ramps up to 2100-2300mA but never the full fast charge. Also my battery dies super quick when audio is in play. Any audio fix to stop battery bleed?

Would B32+B10 bootloader work better for battery stability than the LOS bootloader?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
What settings are you using in the Kernel to increase the charge rate? 2300mA is a decent value for QC 3.0.

Bootstack B32-B10 won't work with LOS15.1 since it requires B12.
