because in the stock bootloader disabled abality boot in fastboot. therefore, to unlock, we flash a special bootloader
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] borisku:
i flashed the bootloader i backuped before unlocking, with the result of having the hint shown 3 posts before with the unlocked bl but booting into FTM, not into fastboot... horror for an old braine like mine! ;)

Which meaning has the misc-file? while unlocking tha abl_a and abl_b is backupped, but not the misc-file, but it is flashed later before flashing abl_a and abl_b?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] djkuz:
Unlocking is done once and for all, until you manually lock the bootloader.

after restoring the original bootloader you lost the ability to boot into fastboot, but the bootloader remained unlocked

flashing misc.img is a my special trick for automatically booting into recovery after flash for easy unlock
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] borisku:
ok, do i understand right that you say: "let it be, there wont be updates for your device anymore? (i cant update via OTA, i cant update via flashing Full EDL and i cant flash Updates from SD)...

What else can i do to get updates, no matter in which way??
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] djkuz:
Update via OTA does not depend on the status of the bootloader (unlocked / locked). you have one of the partitions that is not original and this is the problem (perhaps changes have been made to the system). I don’t understand why the firmware via edl does not work (I do not have this phone and I can’t experiment). try flashing full edl 1.6 https://yadi.sk/d/TZi3pDOPO8DoKg (just backup first)
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] borisku:
ok, i will try with the firmware in the link, i think i have it on my hdd anywhere, but i will download it again and try. Thanks a lot for your help & your patience, i will send you a beer via Android Filehost! ;)
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] dimkin_76:
This firmware is made by me, it raises a brick from any state, regardless of whether the bootloader is unlocked with root rights or locked.

After this firmware, regardless of whether the bootloader with root rights is unlocked or locked, you can upgrade from the phone to version 1.8

Just download the firmware from here, unpack and throw the update.zip to phone memory and update through phone, not through recovery.The link to the 1.8.https://www.ztedevices.com/en/support/detail?id=C50F94488E974914A82B4AC2F01A485E

But update only after firmware 1.6

[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] borisku:
thanks a lot for your work, but installing your firmware makes the same with my axon 10 as any other tested flashed EDL Firmware installes with the Axon10proEDL Tool: It leads into bootloop, from which i can only escape with vol up + vol down &connecting to PC via usb... so for my device it didne help... i donot know what i should else try... My restored backup from 1.6 is the only thing that makes my device running again after all tested possibilities...

The file that was postet here: https://yadi.sk/d/TZi3pDOPO8DoKg

contains no update.zip file, but an edl version its explicitly called: A2020G_PRO_V1.6_FULL_EDL.zip ... So i dont know: is this not the software you createt... i would be pleased to test anything that could help...

After doing a firmware reset in recovery and cpoying the updatezip from the 1.8 firmware i did a minimal installation and went to system update. the ota (about 150mb) did not work, but the update.zip on the sd with 1,6gb ran through and did the thing! Boys & gentlemen: Youre great and did the thing! thx alot.... i dont know what the trick was (could it be usb debugging set to off??) But im on 1.8 now!!! Thank you all again! You made my day!!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Shogunes:
Hello, with me the USB debugger had to be switched on because otherwise I didn't get fastboat to work and the EDL tool just didn't and flashing the 1.8 firmware wouldn't have been possible either.

Hi, I have 2 CN 4G units that I had purchased under the impression (was told) they were Global/EU. So with the CN EDL listed in this thread, can I pull the CN modem file then flash them to EU rom or will CN EDL only allow CN roms to be used?

Failed after restoring backups

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80316365&postcount=41

I used this version of the tool since I have the A2020. Interesting enough was after i flashed TWRP and LOS to it, it started saying it was the A2020U. Regardless, that isn't my issue. Since LOS isn't quite up to speed, today I tried to restore from backup using this tool after rebooting it is now in ZTE logo loop and I have no fastboot. I can only get back into EDL mode. Any advice would be good to have.

Update: I tried to flash this image, https://yadi.sk/d/TZi3pDOPO8DoKg , and it completed successfully, but the zte logo bootloop still continues.

Update2: I think my mistake was using this version of the tool https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80316365&postcount=41. I made a backup of my device with that and then when i restored from that tool, this all began. If i copy the backup into the folder with UDev's version of the tool, that version doesn't even recognize there's anything in the folder. It's entirely possible that I messed something up a long the way though.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jbeaulieu:
My A2020U has been stuck in EDL (no fastboot or recovery) after trying to install TWRP. I have no screen, but the EDL tool recognizes the phone is connected. Restoring a backup I created earlier using the EDL tool doesn't seem to fix anything.

Is there a full stock 2020U EDL file I can flash to return to stock or at least get fastboot/recovery working again?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] scionoics:
Great Success!

My china A2020 (non eu, non US) is now working again! The backups weren't working when I restored them, so I tried flashing stock fw using miflash. This got it to boot into recovery mode! But it was one i didn't recognize not even the same as stock. One reboot later and it was bootlooped again. So then I figured "why not" and tried to restor the backup using the tool again, and it took! I was able to boot into recovery and wipe cache/user data then i was able to boot into stock FW. I'm back baby.

So I tried to change the CN rom to the EU one using the CN EDL tool and it didn't work. I restored the original EDL backup and now my 12gb/256gb Axon shows as 12gb/128gb, any ideas? Otherwise does anyone have an original CN EDL for 12gb/256gb?

zte axon pro 2020

hi can you please tell us how you did it step by step

and is every thing working :):) and can you do updates as well
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] T1nt3:
Procedure

Sure,

You need EDL Chinese Tool, 1.6 EDL EU firmware and miflash

1. Using EDL Tool make a full EDL Backup

2. Flash EDL firmware, after that you phone will be bricked

3. Using EDT Tool unlock bootloader after this there will be a menu, select power off

4. Put the phone in EDL mode and using miflash flash the backup you made earlier

5. After restart select wipe

6. You're done

I think miflash restores just some of the files, because it takes just five minutes to do the flash

Everything is working, even updates, mine is now in 1.8 after OTA update

If you now wanna unlock the bootloader use EDT Tool no chinese.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ztxaxonjay:
I've used the EDL Chinese Tool to unlock the bootloader and work's fine and done a back up with

EDL Chinese Tool where do I go from here as don't want to brick the phone or do I have to brick to get this to work

Thank you for your reply much appreciated

Also can you make and receive calls did you have to change your modem

will add links for every one to please confirm these are the ones you used T1nt3 much appreciated if this works i get you a beer

Dear forum users! If you use my firmware, I ask you to write who did this, and not just give links !!! This is just respect !!!

Instructions on firmware from China to Europe (laid out earlier, not entirely correct), everything is much simpler,mi flash is not needed,everything is done through the program, Axon 10 Pro EDL Tool from Dear djkuz, there is a video, and instructions that are laid out a long time ago,there is 4 pda from me on the forum.

Also there is a firmware that is clean from everything, generally clean, whatever you want, then put it, plus buns

Don't worry about the phone bricked, I was four days without it, for an unknown reason I was able to flash the backup without errors with the EDL Tool, however the phone remained bricked, only with miflash I was able to restore the backup and unbricked the phone, all I wanted to do was restore the chinese rom, it was a surprise to discover that the rom changed. Everything is working, wifi, FP, camera, modem, receive and make calls etc.

need advice

Hi, I have a brand new Axon 10 Pro and followed the instruction to unlock it, but I got into some trouble...

Before trying to unlock it I made all four backups with the tool, to be on the safe side, then I started the unlocking, it ended successfully (I don't have the logs at the moment but I can post them if needed), when I rebooted it the system came up and I could log into it without problems, but it immediately shows a popup with QMMI on top and a number of tests (how can I upload a screenshot?), when I attach it to a pc it shows the usual choice (charge only, USB drivers, MTP and PTP) but whatever I select it doesn't change from charge only.

The tool is from that point on unable to find the device again, but I can connect to it by adb from a linux machine, although it identifies it as "( no serial number)", from the linux machine I can adb shell, reboot both recovery and fastboot, when in fastboot it says the device is still locked.

I checked the settings -> system -> system update, the version is GEN_EU_EEA_A2020G_Pro_V1.3 and offers an update to version 1.5, but after download it fails with an "incompatible version" message.

I also tried to download and flash the 1.8 stock rom from sd in recovery (the official one from zte) but it fails, I see errors in the recovery logs, like it's not finding some executables in the system needed to do the update and can't complete the update.

Apart from these issues the phone seems to work, (for example wifi works fine, but I didn't checked too much and I didn't insert a sim yet)

I would like to reflesh the original stock rom and restart from there, any idea how I can do it?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Doman2011:
It kinda works... I managed to unlock my 5G version, but not without issues... so don't do it, at least until there is _confirmed_ solution.

Just restore the backup or flash the firmware or via EDL EU Sincerely Dmitry
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] abisaro:
Hi Dmitry, thanks for the reply, that's is my idea too, problem is that to restore the backup the script must first find and connect the device and so far after my attempt to unlock it the script can't find it anymore.

I was thinkng to put it in EDL mode using adb and "cut" the part of the script that do this so to just execute the restore part, but I'm a linux guy and I'm not too confident with windows scripting, I took a look at the batch and I don't feel comfortable to modify it on my own... tomorrow I will try to connect it again with a windows machine and see if it finds it again

product id/serial id problem

So, investigating some more I understood a bit better what's going on: I was able to unlock the device with the tool (BTW, kudos to all those who worked on this tool, nice job), I have fastboot but:

serial ID is empty

product ID is 0614

neither windows nor linux recognize the device correctly (no MTP/PTP/USB Driver working)

EDL tool can't "talk" to the device in EDL mode

so I did again the update with stock rom 1.8 from Settings -> System -> System update and the update.zip in the SD, the result is:

no more fastboot

warning at boot about the device unlocked (not a problem here)

serial ID present (adb devices, lsusb)

product ID is 1352

EDL tool working with the device in EDL mode

MTP/PTP/USB Driver working

Not sure what to do now, I'm not feeling comfortable without fastboot but the flashed boot to unlock the device seems to mess up a bit the device itself, and I'm not sure how to proceed to root it with magisk and flash twrp, any suggestion is welcomed, thank you
