Anybody else having issues with RCS? I was on latest OTA for a couple weeks and just recently flashed to B5 but RCS is completely stuck on "Verifying your phone number..." regardless of uninstalling carrier service/messages updates. Is it specific bug using a Verizon SIM or is anyone else having this?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
Yeah a few of us on Fi as well

Same for me, I'm not sure if it's a Q beta issue or the recent WhatsApp beta update that caused it though.

I can still send video if I record with the WhatsApp app or forward a received video.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zard:
You are correct. I’m on WhatsApp beta too, and if video is taken using WhatsApp, I can send but if taken using camera app, it will end up as BIN.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Atomregen:
maybe it is the chosen codec?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] SinisterXReaper:
Does anyone else think Beta 6 will drop today? I don't remember where I read it from, but, I read it will drop this month. Could be wrong though.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] zard:
Using the default camera app, no codec to choose, unless you are referring to H.265/HEVC vs H.264/AVC. I am using H.264/AVC.

For a Beta 5 pretty buggy:

- Google discovery crashes (no swipe to open it possible)

- lots of performance issues like freezes and stutter

- Google Assistant freezes

- Issues with navigation on Android Auto. Voice directions and map not synchronized. Voice is 3 streets ahead of what is shown on map.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lohanchien:
Hit and miss. I did clean install first time and had lots of issues. Factory reset then restored without settings and had no issues. After a few weeks BT started acting up. Factory reset again and freezes came back and BT issues still there.

A2017X_O_B04_SL!M8​

Just for fun....no more no less...​

For our dedicated stock users​

For those who weren't able to install or obtain the A2017G-O-B04 OTA update, I made a SL!M8 rom (not an AROMA because atm I don't have much time ;) ) that can boot on a working stock Oreo rom.

This version is tested on stock B02 as on my SL!M7 (based on B03). So there should be no problem at all :cowboy:

I hope you'll ENJOY !

Modifications :

* full system r/w

* removed some unwanted apps and the ability to remove more when booted into the rom with a root explorer

* safetynet pass cts will pass when flashing magisk 19.3

* youtube vanced

* adaway 4.2.6

* full working Dolby Atmos

* wifi working...and ofc all the rest

* fastboot working

*.....

Installation : NOTE : for those having trouble installing, flash the twrp 3.2.10 with the universal bootstack (don't forget the modem)

1. unlocked, twrp3218 (non-treble) installed (or compatible one for oreo...)

1.a boot into twrp, format data/factory reset, reboot twrp, wipe system

2. flash A2017GV1.3.0B04_BootStack ( flash your modem type again as this has the latest G-version one )

3. flash A2017X_O_B04_SL!M8

4. flash Magisk 19.3

5. wipe dalvik/cache and boot

6. setup phone

7. you should now have a fully working SL!M8 :cyclops:

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] totmakina:
Good rom for those of us who like stock! I will add Xposed.

I love the stock. I'll test how the battery goes since I put it in a new one a little while ago

Thanks Rays!

I'm currently running the chinese B23 with TWRP, is it possible to flash this over? Or should I flash other rom first?

Also, a bit offtopic suggestion: You should update your camera2api enabler ZIP, because it somehow changes the build name to A2017GV1.3.0B02 on other roms (this happened to me on european B03 and chinese B23 and should also happen on this new B04)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You can try since it is a stock Oreo rom. So follow instructions furtheron.

Ah yes, you're referring to this one : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410932744536993784

Yeah, it's all in the build.prop...i'll make another one if you want ;)

Thanks so much [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] ! A lot of us have been waiting for this! Hopefully I have better luck flashing this, as B03 Sl!m was giving me encryption issues upon rebooting after flashing.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joaocandeias:
Yes, that's the one. I can live with it as long it doesn't affect the ROM usage (I don't think it does though) but it's up to you.

About the new SL!M8, I'll see if I can flash it tomorrow and give feedback :)

Thanks for your awesome work.

Greets from Berlin :good:
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
You can flash it when on SLIM7 - I tested it myself.

So backup your stuff, factory reset, reboot twrp, wipe system, flash B04 bootstack, SL!M8 and magisk19.3

You can try a dirty flash but that's up to you to test. I always prefer clean ;)

on a side note: i use HELIX Engine. [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamhelix.helixengine]

it used to work fine on 7.1.1.

Now i'm getting this (see 1st attachment),

and i still get this shown every time i reboot. can i get rid of it somehow? it's annoying as it can't be sped up and feels way longer than 5 seconds... (see 2nd attachment)

2 problems i have in this rom;

i have A2017 and SanDisk 200GB SD;

1. after every reboot the SD is recognize as new card and the path is changed (opening ES file Explorer show me different path)

2. flashing Magisk 19 and above will show the SD as corrupted; version 18.1 and below is working fine.

Good morning again and hey Ray (whoop whoop im a Rapper) :D

I installed the new Version with a clean flash and it works flawlessly. I will test it during the Day. For me also the SD Card shown as corrupt when i installed magisk, but i dont need root and flashed all from the beginning without.

Now my Question. Do you remember your newest graphicsupdate a few weeks ago (adreno)? Have you integratet the driver in this b04 or should i update it manually ?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
I have ( and asked some others on B04 ) no problems recognizing my sd card on m19.3 (using only a 32gb one atm, since I fried some in the early days of nougat lol). Do you both have 200gb?

[MENTION=4956723]Tunox[/MENTION] the Adreno driver update isn't integrated, so check on AIDA64 app which version you're on, and if on v269 you should be able to update them to v313 using : https://xdaforums.com/axon-7/themes/a2017x8-x-treble-adreno-530-gpu-t3903912

Btw, mine is showing v269, so you can update to v313 ;)

Writing this at 6am to say thanks again [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] ! I was able to finally install this B04 without issues like I had with B03 Sl!m. Everything seems to be working great on my 2017U. Only downside which I had overlooked was this does not have WiFi Calling. I figured all stock firmware's had it built in. Unless I am missing it! Otherwise it seems to be working great. Brought my Axon 7 new life for a little while longer!

I have stock B02 and find that when the battery gets to 25% the phone lags incredibly. Presumably the CPU slows down to preserve battery? This frustrates me. Does it happen with this build?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] roadworker:
It will only work if your phone has no security code activated.

When there's a security code,the dirty flash also works,but you can 't unlock,because your code won 't be accepted anymore.....you'll get the 'wrong password' message.

Even in TWRP recovery,your code won 't work anymore to decrypt the system partition.

I had to format my data partition to get access again.....

Great news to finally have this. Thank you very much [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION]

I have one question tho.

Since magisk works as you stated in OP, does this mean this slim rom is is using the modified A2017U kernel by asderdd? Or are did you perhaps get the modified b04 kernel by unjustified dev (i remember he made one, but dunno if he made it public).

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Not to mention that the driver update will also add vulkan api back (if its still gone in b04).

Idk why but zte removed vulkan since oreo.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] raystef66:
Hi again !

He didn't make it public, although he was being asked to contribute in this. So I relied on Aserdd's kernel on this and some other additions like the aboot we both worked on ;)
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joknjokn:
Newbie question:

First step of the installation says "unlocked". Should the phone be carrier unlocked, or the bootloader unlocked, or?

I found a guide for installing TWRP, but it says the phone needs to be bootloader unlocked and rooted. True?

Thanks. I don't have patience to wait for the OTA anymore. :) Battery on B02 sucks.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] joknjokn:
Alright, so I've now tried maybe 5 different versions of TWRP. Some of them just gives black screen after a short ZTE logo blink when holding Power + Volume up, some of them gives the red warning with "Your device is corrupt". With the red warning, if I press Power, it shows a Linux logo. One more click doesn't do anything, and after maybe 20-30 seconds, the phone turns off.

How can I install this B04 Oreo on my A2017G B02 Oreo stock?

In fora, I see several people with Oreo who can't install TWRP and unlock the bootloader. No fastboot. I have no clue where to go from here.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] runninghamster:
Is your bootloader unlocked?

To install TWRP, your bootloader needs to be unlocked. You can do this via going back to Nougat and using the Axon 7 EDL Tool to unlock the BL. After that's done, you can use the EDL Tool again to flash TWRP version 3.2.1-0. As far as I know, that's the latest TWRP version that works on stock firmwares.

Once you have TWRP, follow the instructions in the OP.

You can get TWRP 3.2.1-0 from here:

Bugs are back again. same as with B03,... i had to EDL Tool to get a stock FW back and the phone running. then repeated all the steps for a "succesful" flash of B04. phone was working for about a week now. then just a couple minutes ago i installed Star Wars:GOH and was aksed to install the newest version of playgames. i did so went back to the game and BOOM the phone insta shutdown and would'nt reboot anymore. i get to select what to boot and when i chose recovery it would quit with 3 short red blinks of the notification LED and shutdown again. does anyone have an idea what might cause this? it's unusable this way...

really need help here...

Edit:

i did a clean install and now without any interaction on my end (no app install, nor any app activity i'm aware of and no root was installed to make sure i have no "bad" app running that plays bad on my phone) and just one day later i encounter the same issue. phone shuts down and just won't boot into system anymore. i get the "device corrupted" screen where i can select restart, recovery, fastboot but no matter what i select except fastboot nothing works. but fastboot does nothing to make the phone boot again.

now i am wondering if 1. one of the chips (maybe one of the memory chips) is fried, or 2. the battery might have died on me and is causing all the issues. the device is almost 3 years old on has been in usage since i got it (oct. 5th 2016). is there a reliable way to check for any kind of corruption?

I'd still like to get it back to working order so that at least it can serve as a "backup" phone.

i ordered a new phone outta frustration since i need a reliable device that doesn't crash on me every couple days.

this was deffo the 1st and last ZTE device i have ever gotten. it has been one of my worst experiences but i don't blame ZTE alone. after all the trouble they had with the U.S. Gov it took them ages to bring official Oreo support. still support was subpar compared to other manufacturers. also the device itself wasn't very popular which held the dev scene small as well. no comparison to the Oneplus One for e.g.. The OPO still has a bigger community after all these years than the Axon ever had.

anyway if someone has an idea i'd love to hear it. no response to my post so far and i don't know what to do anymore.

regards.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] redandr:
Can confirm a bug with a SD card.

I have one from Toshiba (128GB).

After the first - and all following - boot the system recognizes the card but tells me it's corrupted.

Trying to format it like a "mobile storage" leads to... nothing. The formatting process stucks at 20%, the system says it's all done and ok, but after that you're on the same point - corrupted SD card. You can do it again and again - the result is always the same. When you try to format it like an "internal storage" it seems to work, the "storage" properties shows you the card, but you can't access it with a file manager (tried stock and Total Commander) - because you just don't see it anywhere.

I solved the problem by formatting the card from the Nfound TWRP with EXT4.

After that the card is recognized by system and all the file managers correctly as a mobile storage.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] xShottaZx:
I did the same by formatting the SDcard (SanDisk Extreme 128GB) with EXT4 but had the same problem.

I solved it by installing Magisk 18.1 and everything runs flawlessly.

So in conclusion, its not the Rom thats making the problem, its Magisk somehow. If you only install the rom(without Magisk), your SD card will be recognized 100%.

Just wanted to give an update and say after about 8 days this ROM has been working perfect! I'm confused as to why some people are having issues relating to Magisk, and MircoSD cards. Following the instructions precisely in order should give you positive results. I have the 2017U variant and EDL'd to B20 U Oreo to start fresh, reinstalled a custom recovery which is the NFound edition as linked to in the instructions and proceeded with installation steps. Magisk 19.3 is working great along with passing Safetynet and working downloads/modules. My 128GB MicroSD is working fine with no issues. I wish I could help those with problems but I have not run into any. So thank you again [MENTION=5334294]raystef66[/MENTION] for another great ROM and bringing my Axon back to an updated usable life.

Is the 50% Battery status after exchanging battery fixed in the kernel of this ROM?

And has the kernel been modded to fix some other problems like the power button restart not working:

(sadly UDev never shared his kernel or released these fixes to community)?

And is there any custom kernel like Baddar compatible with this ROM?
