As [MENTION=8522402]tkhquang[/MENTION] mentioned: you need to Format Data on TWRP

That's needed on the first time to remove encryption, after the ROM installation/first boot you can encrypt again

Thanks a lot for your work and this ROM! :)

I'd like to try to update to this ROM from your earlier RR 8.1 without wiping DATA

or retaining all my installed apps and their settings.

Earlier with this - still unofficial - ROM it would not work. When i installed this ROM without wiping DATA ...

- each time when entering the TWRP i was confronted with a dialog to insert a password, i never use a pw so i had to cancel in this dialog, but then ...

- the internal storage was not visible in TWRP

Which steps are necessary to try updating from RR 8.1?

Would i have to backup DATA, then format DATA in TWRP before installing, and recover DATA and copy back the content of the internal storage afterwards?

Your phone is encrypted, if you do not delete the data, you will not be able to install any ROMs with android 9.

Back up your internal memory.

Use some TB application to back up your apps + data.

make complete wipe + data and flash to rom AEX 9.0

I'm using it and it's running perfectly. very good, just does not have as many features and customizations as RR, Viper or Havoc.

I checked if 6.5 flashed on my mobile is treble or non treble via treble checker. It says its Treble. :eek:
[Asus ZenFone 3 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] bslipe:
AEX has the /APD (aka the new vendor partition) but this isn't Treble. If I say "yeah, it's a Treble rom" some people may use the old TWRP and the option to repartition /vendor, but this is wrong since the new vendor it's just a unused partition that got adapted

The fix will be implemented in the next update, but right now you have two choices (both needs root, you can use Magisk 19):

1 - You can set SELinux to permissive (this will work through reboots)

2 - You can use the command below on any Terminal app (you'll need to do that after every reboot)

/sbin/magiskpolicy --live "permissive untrusted_app"

/sbin/magiskpolicy --live "permissive untrusted_app_27"

THREAD CLOSED on request of OP.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alajoy:
I started this thread: (https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/help/help-loss-root-twrp-t3781054)

a while back and ended up never solving my issue, eventually giving up and living with an unrooted phone.

Anyhow I've been trying again to get to the bottom of the issue and after another day of fruitless research here I am hoping to bring it back to your attention.

Does anyone around here regularly use a mac to perform adb commands? I'd love to get some help trying to get fastboot working again.

Should I just give up and find a Windows computer to do this?

Thanks for reading
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Teet1:
That guy was horribly wrong and sorry you had to live with an unrooted phone for so long. But in newer versions of Nougat (i think B32 or B35) they removed fastboot and you could not boot into it. I have a way of being able to install TWRP here without fastboot (assuming you're on an Oreo bootstack, otherwise you can do almost everything in that thread except use a TWRP for Nougat instead). I haven't tried this, but if you have stock recovery, try downgrading to Nougat B19 by using an official SD card update and using apply update from SD card in stock recovery. Haven't found an official SD card update for you but I've only done a little bit of searching.

edit: ive only found B19 Nougat full image , but here: https://mega.nz/#F!kYtRAJjJ!5tD1zPpo0nw2tJwhANA9pQ!tNsQhD5Y

download A2017U-7.1.1-B19-Full-326200B1901A2017UV1.1.0B19.zip and extract it and put update.zip in your sd card. boot into stock recovery and use apply update from sd card and select it. hopefully it works and it will downgrade
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alajoy:
Thank you so much for responding.

So I finally went out and bought an sd card yesterday to try this and I am having no luck.

I tried unzipping the file, but it just creates a duplicate zip file so I simply tried installing the whole package.

Wether I try and install via sd card or via sideload/adb I get the same "installation aborted" message.

This is so frustrating. All I want is to root again! I'm trying to get this phone to last me as long as I can before replacing it.

Doing this all on a Mac, fyi. Not sure if that changes things. Since we're not using EDL or Axon7toolkit I assumed it doesn't matter, but there is a lot that I don't know.

Thanks for any help that you're able to provide!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Teet1:
If it's saying that error then it's probably not letting you downgrade.

Also this might be slightly more difficult since you're in a Mac. Can you get access to a windows machine at all? This is why I hate macs ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] alajoy:
So what would be the reason that it wouldn't let me downgrade?

I've always used a mac and always managed to find an answer. Sure, toolkits don't work, but using fastboot and adb and doing it that way always has. Now suddenly no fastboot and I'm screwed... I don't really have access to a windows pc.

I just find it hard to believe that it's simply not possible on a mac.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Teet1:
Yeah fastboot screen was removed in newer versions. But that's at a software level of the phone. On your computer, the adb and fastboot commands are universal. It's usable on Mac, Linux and windows. The tools used for the phone like miflash or axon7tool are made for windows though and you kinda need those to fix bricked phones. There's a way to force push the twrp image into the recovery partition via adb but I don't know what the name of the recovery partition is
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=6337268]alajoy[/MENTION]: You can give yourself access to a fake Windows on your Mac. It's called a virtual machine. VirtualBox is one free software that can do this. Pretty easy to use, you install a virtualized Windows that you can boot into. Then you can run all Windows-based tools out there. It's also easy to share a USB port with the VM. Then flashing tools can access it. I run Linux as my main OS on a Sager gaming laptop, this is how I flash my A7 and Samsung phones. It just works, and reliably. I do also have a real Windows 10 installed on a partition on the same PC, but that is only for gaming and I never, ever allow it to connect to the Internet.

[MENTION=5442120]Teet1[/MENTION]: The literal name of the recovery partition is exactly that, recovery. And that is what most Android devices call it, regardless of manufacturer. It doesn't matter whether it is TWRP or ZTE stock recovery, the name is the same. It can be accessed via the paths:

/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/recovery

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovery

/dev/block/sde14

On other devices the path may be different (but the 2nd example above will work for most), but the name is usually the same.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Teet1:
By name i meant the path, are you sure that's the path for our device? I tried that once and it was not that. Either way he is able to do it
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=5442120]Teet1[/MENTION]: Yeah, I'm sure, but not on all 3 paths. /dev/sde14 may be correct or not, depending on firmware/boot stack that is installed (or the presence of a vendor partition, which might change the paths). But the other 2 should be as I listed.

Just open a root file manager and see for yourself. I use Total Commander, which also shows symbolic links (the one with "bootdevice" in the path is really just a symlink to 624000.ufshc). Getting the recovery path from the example with "bootdevice" in the name should also work on almost any device running Android, and will generally point to the recovery partition. You can see the paths in TWRP too, but TWRP doesn't show symlink (but you should be able to see them if you use the right commands in any terminal, like TWRP's terminal).
