All in all I was happy updating to the official Oreo update. I am not experiencing any of the issues the beta testers experienced. What I am experiencing is connection issues with Android Auto. On nougat I had 0 issues but now I have to go into developer options and enable either MTP or audio source before I connect my phone or else I get an endless loop of connecting not connecting sounds. I use AA on a daily basis and this has turned into a PITA. Today I realized that if I'm connected to AA and take a call and then end it, I lose audio connection and then podcasts and new calls play from the phone speaker. I uninstalled and reinstalled AA, that didn't work. I factory reset my device and that didn't correct the issue either.

So, my question is being that I never unlocked my bootloader and now on the ZTE Oreo will I still be able to unlock it with the methods previously used?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpitz461:
My bootloader is always unlocked, and I have no issues going between EDL's using axon7tool. I also always flash TWRP and not ever use the stock recovery. If you go on AOSP you can always go back to stock with an EDL, so just experiment and see which rom works for you.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Teet1:
Beyond nougat B32 (or B35) fastboot was removed so you can't do fastboot oem unlock anymore. You can try EDL flashing an older version of nougat that you can find around the forums. Nougat B19 with TWRP EDL is preferred

Edit: sorry I meant to reply to the guy above you [MENTION=5863615]Dunka[/MENTION]
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpitz461:
It's all good. Looks like with B20 the BT issue that exists in B12 is still there, forgot to test GPS, in B12 it is inaccurate and took a while to lock into satellites.

Some of the Treble roms work great as daily drivers. Come on, don't give up yet!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] yarecco:
Oh, can you tell me which ones because I've tested like 5 of them and none was usable as daily driver for me on Axon 7
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Havoc has a new build that's pretty good in the treble forums. Just a few things you need to change to make it perfect.

I also used the newest vendor I could find from the DotOS build in these Axon7 forums.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] yarecco:
No autobrightness , first thing I saw there...

nfc bugs etc etc

Changing brightness level everytime I go out or restart the phone is annoying
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
Uh, adaptive brightness works fine.

NFC is literally just a patch file zip.

If you want someone to do the work for you, why don't you have an iPhone?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] EBeatFLA:
There is no autobrightness in Pie. It is now adaptive. You adjust it manually for a little while, and it learns what brightness you like under certain conditions. But you have to have it on, most roms will have it on by default, some do not.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChiDi9901:
You get it, no ROM any kind on this world can be as stable as the firmware from the OEM itself. Bugs will be encountered sooner on ROMs and they can be quite big, despite the devs writings "Bugs: you tell me xD" in most of the threads. If you want stable software then don't flash any custom ROMs.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SkaboXD:
That's why I'm still on Mifavor
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
I just googled now "android oreo remove system write protection" out of curiosity. And the first links are xda links for axon 7 only. Some were about nougat and the "disemmcwp" command and some were about oreo being now completly protected from writing to system.

Didn't find anything else like news that google did make this a priority for oreo as whole back then. So from the first look it seems zte implemented full system write protection for oreo (unless anyone finds out how they did it and how to disable it, which is probably easier said than done).

If its build in the kernel, we gotta wait for zte to publish the kernel source code.

Im not a dev nor an expert in things like this. So this is just a guess from an average user lol.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sauerkraut17:
LOS 15.1 Official is stable as hell and I've been using as my daily since it went official.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] yarecco:
Yeah but it is not Pie.

And LOS 16 is far from being daily driver
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TPMJB:
It's not? Havoc is built on LOS 16 (I think) and that seems stable enough for me to use as a daily driver. Though I'm not getting the insane battery life I got on an earlier build of Havoc where I was at like 35% at 11pm after getting up at 5:30am.

I need to test it for a few more days though. I think my issue might be using Disa and also being in a Facebook group chat where nobody has jobs, apparently. Gonna test without it. I'm at 58% now after waking up at 5:30
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sauerkraut17:
Pardon me, but complaining about lack of stable Pie for a Chinese phone from July 2016 is asinine. Be happy that we even got 8.0 officially.....
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dunka:
Well put, if any complaining is to be had is with ZTE with their "official Oreo" update, not ever with the devs doing their work on there own time for a 2 year old device. I guess if you really want Pie, you may need to switch to a new device.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] anon1135:
I liked los too. The only small problem I had with it was needing to start Dolby again if it ever shut off on its own in the background instead of staying on the whole time. I think it does that after a reboot too. I liked everything else about it especially how smooth it was. Right now Chinese b17 is looking good too without root though. I forgot what's good/bad about this official oreo but I might come back to it one day and still glad it was released. The roms I haven't tried yet are the pie gsi's

Everything, as long as you install Magisk.

My bank, AMEX and Discover apps work fine with or without Magisk.

Netflix even installs from the play store without Magisk, but you will need Magisk for Google Pay.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sauerkraut17:
Just use an EDL method.

Enable developer options

Enable USB Debugging

Use command 'adb reboot edl'

Use MiFlash to EDL downgrade to a version with fastboot (I personally use jcadduono's one)

https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514 or https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/development/axon-7-edl-tool-flash-backup-restore-t3750759

Boot B15 or B19 (skip setup)

Enable developer options

Enable USB debugging

Enable OEM unlocking

Use command 'reboot bootloader'

Use command "fastboot oem unlock'

Profit, you're now unlocked

I am on stock b20 Oreo and twrp recovery.If I boot in twrp and check the partitions...they are all on ext4.Im confused,isn't stock room supposed to have emmc partitions?How I get it back on emmc?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpitz461:
emmc is the generic name for an sdcard. ext4 is the type/format of a partition.

two completely different things.

By default, all partitions are formatted as ext4.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Predatorhaze:
So why it's not saying emmc anymore?how I get it back?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sauerkraut17:
As the poster above mentioned, eMMC stands for Embedded MultiMediaCard. Unless you had some weird version of TWRP they should have always reported as ext4.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Predatorhaze:
first it always said emmc on twrp,and no probems.Now i always see ext4 and got modem/signals problems and big battery drain

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] sauerkraut17:
Dude, I'm not trying to be a jerk but eMMC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiMediaCard#eMMC) is not a file system format. The stock file system is ext4, that's what it was when you bought the phone. Ext4 has nothing to do with your modem/signal problems, nor battery drain; it is the most commonly used file system for all things linux based (such as android). I've been using TWRP for ages and I've never had a device report the file system as eMMC as there is no such file system in existence. As I said, perhaps you had an unofficial poorly translated version of TWRP because eMMC is not a file system format.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bornlivedie:

It would seem that the consensus is that anyone on the B12 beta doesn't really have a reason to update to this new B20 'final' release?

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
The recent 2017G Oreo release seems to be much the same. Curent B12 install with a writable system, Gcam, persistent sd mounting and decent battery life seems like the go for me
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shpitz461:
How do you make system writable? I don't think I was ever able to using 'adb disemmcwp'...
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greyhamism:
The universal bootloader + that command either over adb, in recovery terminal, or even in a root level terminal in Android.

You get the bootloader message at boot, but otherwise is fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GodOfPsychos:
I think you misunderstood. B12 is still nougat and doesn't have that stupid system write protection from bootstack. Oreo b02 is the rom where the "disemmcwp" doesn't work anymore since they added additional protection to the bootstack.

Or am i wrong, and they implemented it on nougat b12 already?

So I received my one plus 6 today. After setting up, I open play store and all the icons of different apps looks little off as if they are of low quality. Further I look closely at the fonts...they too were off.... like little blurred and not sharp enough. The status bar icon were also not sharp enough as in my brothers poco f1. As if the display is of low resolution. So, Is it how the display of one plus 6 is, is this how AMOLED displays are (never used one before) or I got a faulty piece...?

I just want you to check it on your device ..do you see any distorted/low res channelpics/text/video thumbnails when you look little closely ? There's no need to post it here because if my display is faulty then no matter what ever I see in it..... it will look distorted.

Yes pixelated thumbnail. Thats the same pixleted app icons I'm seeing on play store as well if you look little closely. Even the clock widget placed on home screen is not sharp enough (pixleted edges) if you look closely.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
There's no distortion of any kind whatsoever.

Perhaps the rom that came with your phone is faulty? Maybe even the phone itself is a cheap Chinese knockoff?

I have used Samsung (Note 7) and Pixel (Pixel XL) phones prior to this one, both with a QHD resolution. I cannot see any difference in the quality of this display and the previous ones from my memory.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Jeik:
Unlocking the bootloader doesn't void the warranty.

If you can, try a custom rom out. If not, contact Oneplus for help.

This sounds like a software defect, unless you got the phone from a third party or they put a crappy screen or something ( doubtfully ) .
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
When i first changed to the OP3 from a 2k display, the slight pixelation and fuzz around text drove me mad, I got used to it after a while. If you're very sensitive to screen resolution then you do see a difference between 1080 and 2k. I definitely noticed it.

You could actually tell "the slight pixelation and fuzz around text?"

It simply sounds unbelievable to me personally. Hence the skepticism.

You are right it could be a faulty display or Chinese knockoff. Guess I need another one plus 6 side by side to verify this. Thanks

I send an email with the screenshot of play store attached to transfer it to computer. After sending, the preview of that screenshot looks too blurred. So I send that screenshot to my old phone with 2k display and to my mom's phone with HD display. The preview of that screenshot looks great with no blur on both devices.

The first one is from my old phone...and 2nd one is from One plus 6. And third one is the original screen shot I emailed to different devices.

So if any one can email the screenshot (original third one) to himself and check whether the preview is blurred or not...it can at least tell me whether only my device is faulty or its how the display of one Plus 6 is.

I just checked. There's absolutely no pixelation or fuzziness of any kind in Play Store, or during booting.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Like I said earlier. My two previous devices were Note 7 and Pixel XL. This OP6 display is easily on par with those two. There's absolutely no pixelation, no fuzziness or blurriness on my display. It is NOT "how the display of one Plus 6 is."

If you see a problem, it's only your display.

Is it possible that your display is defective?

Is it possible that someone sold you a $100 Chinese knockoff of the phone? Check to see that it has a Snapdragon 845 chipset with 6-8 Gigs of ram by using something like CPU-Z app.
