You need to go into Advanced Wipe settings in TWRP, and select the Data partition, and manually change the filesystem to EXT4. This will format the partition. Sliding to wipe, or doing normal wipe does not format it.

I am currently on a PixelExperience Pie GSI which I am really unhappy with.

Which additional steps are necessary to switch to this non-treble ROM? Do I need to flash an EDL stock image first?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] taufikthexfader:
Follow these steps:

1. Undo your treble by flash Party from TWRP and remove treble partition, then reboot to TWRP.

2. Wipe all partition and make sure every partition is formatted back to ext4 (no f2fs allowed), if you skip this will result bootloop and stuck at EDL mode.

3. Recheck everything again, format data partition to decrypt if necessary.

4. Flash this ROM by following instructions on post #1.

no need to go back stock EDL ROM, as long as the partition is stock everything will be fine.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] t.l:
Followed your instructions and those from the OP, everything went through without errors. Got the original ZTE boot animation, then the ZTE splash image, then nothing.

Reflashed everthing, still the same. Tried turning it off, got stuck in EDL mode.

Went the EDL route after all; flashed Oreo B03, same thing again, but now I can't turn off the phone anymore, it now constantly shows the ZTE splash image. When connecting to a PC it shows as a CD drive with USB drivers on it.

Soldered an EDL cable, drained the battery, managed to enter EDL again. Successfully flashed Nougat B10 with Axon 7 EDL Tool, now it is completely bricked. No EDL, no DFU, just a short flash of the open android robot, then nothing.

(there was a quoted message here idk why it went away) Sadly enough same exact thing happened to me :(. Since last time i have tried downloading the files again, different versions of twrp and also flashing bootstack and twrp like suggested at first with no luck. to make things better my nandroid backup doesnt seem to be recognized by the version of twrp i have now (i had the one linked in the first post but i cant even install it right now, only twrp i can use is the one that comes with the toolkit)

Weird place i am now. I got twrp 3.1.1-0 installed. I cant flash any other recovery images, it doesnt recognize the nandroid backup that i have (it was done with a different twrp version but i'm pretty sure it doesnt matter, also it made a folder instead of a zip and unless im tripping nandbackups used to be zip files no?) i tried miflash and it only recognizes the phone when its in fastboot mode (where it says its bootloader unlocked or not and codename alisa something, thats fastboot right?) and when i try to get to edl mode the screen goes black and led lights up solid red and just gets stuck there but miflash stops recognizing it (that is what edl is right?) sorry if some questions are noobish just wanna make sure im not misunderstanding things (been using samsung phones my entire life so this is a little different :p). anyways if anyone got any suggestions i'd appreciate it but sadly i got not phone at the moment.

WiFi Calling on B04

[MENTION=3700191]brian117[/MENTION] asked if it was possible to get WiFi Calling to work on B04 on his T-Mobile carrier, he did some test - thnx !! - with some added build.prop lines provided by [MENTION=3756725]kountry83[/MENTION] - thnx !! - and now working flawless :cowboy:

Just flash this : A2017G_O_B04_SL!M8_WiFiCalling (mount system and reboot)

You should see the wifi settings appear. Also added ''ro.feature.wfc_enabled=true'' ( [MENTION=3700191]brian117[/MENTION] ) to have quick tile icon enabled (when on wfc the icon will light up, however you can not enable/disable wfc with the tile, only long tapping will bring you into the wfc setting)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] t.l:
EDL route worked, but only with B10 Nougat. The phone is in pretty bad shape now anyhow since I had to open it for the testpoint EDL method, so I will move on to a new phone. This one has been one hell of a software mess since the beginning. I guess this was my last ZTE phone!

Thanks again [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3756725]kountry83[/MENTION] for this. You have helped us users who frequent places with spotty coverage, be able to gain more functionality now with WFC. Who knew a simple build.prop entry could be a cure all. You both deserve all the thanks. :highfive:

For those who flash this, there will not be a notification bar icon to show you that it is enabled. The easiest way to test that you're on WFC and are properly connected, is to open the dialer and look at the green call button and see if it has the WiFi bars coming out from it, as shown in the screenshots.

Hi, maybe this is the topic that will end my two-week root marathon. I am currently in this form:

model: A2017G

bootloader: unlocked

fastboot: working

recovery: TWRP 3.3.1-0

rom: stock B12

root: no

If I do what's below I will have a rooted Oreo?

1. flash TWRP_3.2.1-8_axon7-Oreo.img from here

2. boot into TWRP

3. click format data -> factory reset

4. reboot TWRP

5. wipe system

6. flash ZTE_A2017GV1.3.0B04_BootStack_by_raystef66.zip from here

7. flash A2017G-O-B03-MODEM.zip from here

8. flash A2017X_O_B04_SL!M8_by_raystef66.zip from here

9. flash Magisk-v19.3.zip from here

10. wipe dalvik/cache and boot

11. setup phone

After flashing TWRP_3.2.1-8_axon7-Oreo.img recovery mode don't open, only orange light flash once. I decide to back again to 3.1.1-0 by axon7toolkit 1.2.1 and upgrade by flashing from recovery twrp-3.3.1-0-ailsa_ii.img. After that I go to Wipe -> Format Data -> type yes, reboot to TWRP and go to Wipe -> Advanced Wipe -> System. After that I flash with queue -> bootstack, modem, SL!M8, Magisk. All without errors. Then wipe dalvik and cache and boot. First is ZTE logo, then shows 5 second can't be checked for corruption info, led was blinks after that and device be on bootloop. Now recovery not working but fastboot works.

EDIT:

After that I turn off from fastboot to go to EDL mode. EDL mode opens but Axon7_EDL_Tool.bat not see that device. I power off device and want do reboot but now is no booting, no working, no blinking, no wibrating :) Brick?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mazupicua:
Just out of curiosity [MENTION=3700191]brian117[/MENTION] did you set it up as an extension of your internal storage or as a portable device? because for me it only works when i set it up as extended internal then it works fine but not otherwise. Also the charging light is it working for everyone with the screen on? for me it only works when the screen is off. aside from that the ROM is golden. Im gonna try to flash magisk 19.2 and for now and update at a later date.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] t.l:
Same for me. Finally was able to enter EDL with testpoint method, but never managed to get this ROM to work.

Furthest I got was a stuck splash screen after the boot animation.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] pat_net:
It will not work if you have 7.0 stock rom - you need 8.0 B01 or higher.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] brian117:
I set it up as a portable device. I like to keep my memory card separate to my phone and I heard about a bigger chance of memory loss/corruption when using it as an internal extension.

As for the charging light not working when the screen is on, that's normal Oreo behavior. Mine also lights up when the screen is off. Not a huge deal as I just look at the battery icon to see if it's charging or not.

This ROM has Magisk 19.3 how come you plan to go back to Magisk 19.2?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] lddias:
Thank you for the great roms! I got your B01 and B03 working on my A2017U, but the B04 always gets stuck on the AXON splash screen for me :( Anyway, at least I have Oreo now :)

Hello and thank you for your work.

I followed the instructions of the first post but when I boot for the first time after the installation is compIeted, I am asked to draw a pattern to unlock Android. Of course no unlock pattern is recognized.

I searched for solutions and people mentionned that deleting some .key files in /data/system would help. However the /data folder does not have a system subdirectory.

I red it could be due to data encryption so I did an additional Format Data in TWRP but nothing changed.

Also, something suspicious is that when the phone is off and I single press the power button, I see a yellow blink very quickly followed by a red one, in less than half a second. Seems buggy to me.

I feel stuck, do you have any suggestions ?

Thank you for your help !

Thank you for your hints.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] shr.deadman:
You're simply in the wrong directory or the system partition is not mounted. If there is only a "media" folder then you are probably in the userspace storage.

Boot your phone into TWRP recovery.

Go to Advanced > File Manager [/B ]and navigate to /data/system.

[*]Find the files that end in the .key extension and any files that have “locksettings” in the filename. They will typically be (but vary by manufacturer):

[*]Reboot

OR

Go to Advanced > Terminal [/B ] and type

[*]

rm -f /data/system/gatekeeper*

[*]

rm -f /data/system/locksettings*

[*]

reboot

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mazupicua:
Well I was planning to go back because the storage wasn't being recognized and it kept saying it was corrupted (also tried with my gf's micro sd and same deal, they are both different brands but same capacity 128gb) but it didn't work so I kept lowering the version and I'm now at 18.1 which works fine. The reason why I asked about the memory is because (like other people earlier in the thread) I can get it to work with magisk 19.3 as extended internal but I like keeping it as a portable device and only magisk that works is 18.1 for me. I even manually formatted to a couple of formats (both mines and my gf's) and no dice, they work fine though so for the life of me I can't figure out what's wrong. OH and about the charging light i don't think that's default behavior bub, I had lineage 15.1 and it worked fine and even spoke with Raystef66 and he told me he thought they were on so yeah.....I don't really mind but I did wanted to mention it in case it was only happening to me (usually if you're the only one having a problem like that it means you did something wrong that could cause other problems so just wanted to confirm :p)

Installation Steps LOS 14.1 -> SL!M8

Hi [MENTION=4828222]Mazupicua[/MENTION], I want to install SL!M8 and I was hoping you would be willing to give me some advice :)

I'm coming from the LOS 14.1 based DarkRom, I've read quite a few threads beginning to end but I'm still a little unclear about the best route to achieve this aim. I realise the importance of TWRP - Bootstack - ROM matching. I'm under the impression that I won't be able to go directly from 14.1 to SL!M8 but I don't really understand why this should be the case if I do a full factory reset and data format during the install process.

As you have been through this process I was wondering if you could confirm the best twrp - bootloader version for this ROM and whether I actually need to install SL!M7 first.

Starting with TWRP 3.2.3-0 and LOS 14.1 on a A2017G I was thinking of the following steps:

Turn off lockscreen security

Boot TWRP 3.2.3-0

Flash TWRP 3.2.1-8 (non-treble)

Factory reset

Format data

Flash A2017GV1.3.0B04_BootStack

Flash A2017X_O_B04_SL!M8

Flash TWRP 3.2.1-8 (non-treble)

Reboot to TWRP 3.2.1-8 (non-treble)

Flash Magisk 19.3

Wipe dalvik and cache

Boot System

Setup phone with fully working SL!M8

I have a 128GB extSD that I want to use as portable storage, are there any issues with swapping Magisk 19.3 out for v18.1?

Many thanks in advance, all opinions are most welcome :)

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Mazupicua:
Sorry bud didn't see this until now. Well first of all you don't have to install twrp twice, second even though it should work with twrp 3.2.3 I did it with 3.2.1-8 so I'd recommend flashing that version. So here's the deal with the external sd card: for some people it works fine even when they set it up as a portable device, for me and a few others for some reason it only works with magisk 19.3 when we set it up as an extended internal storage (which it'll give you the option when you format it) so what I had to do was downgrade to 18.1 and the storage worked fine but had issues with cts and magiskhide so just know youre gonna have to set that up. Honestly I'm trying out different ROMs right now (literally just tried installing viper but I'm having a weird error 7 that I'll figure out tomorrow) what I would recommend is that you try it (following the instructions on first post of course) and try setting it up as portable and if it keeps on giving you corrupted sd message like me then you can either downgrade and deal with the manual setting up of mobile payments through magisk or set it up as an extended internal....or try other ROMs there are a few that just got released also by Raystef66 so that's another option :p

2. installed PARTY Tool 0.5 and deleted the Vendor partition,

3. reset to TWRP then Wipe data,system, cache, dalvik ,

4. factory reset, reset to TWRP again and change filesystems from f2 to ext4,

5. again wiped system and after I check: all ext4, ok,

6. Installed:

A2017G-O-B04-MODEM,

A2017X_O_B04_SL!M8,

Yikes I tested this with a Daydream View (2017) Headset and you are correct it is very blurry when you move . After a few minutes I feel like this :eek:. Its clear and in focus as long as you don't move your head :rolleyes: so its not the Headset.

I threw my Pixel 2 in the Headset to test and the screen noticeably "dims" (adding the black frames to get it to 120Hz I imagine) and and the motion blur is nearly nonexistent.

Putting the Axon 7 in with this ROM does not dim the screen at all.

I tried with the "Reduce Blur" in Settings>Display>Advanced>When device is in VR set to either Reduce blur or Reduce Flicker.

This is my first venture into VR with the Axon 7 and I'm dedicating this to CVR as I have another phone is this typical or should I roll back to a Nougat ROM.

I tried the command "echo 1 >/sys/class/graphics/fb0/msm_fb_persist_mode" to turn on the Low Persistence Mode, but a cat of that shows it's stays as 0.
