Lol I'm German as well xD Were you able to flash Lineage with gapps and root from TWRP? If you do flash it, you might get the corrupt device thing again. Then you have to properly unlock the bootloader. When its unlocked, it will say device unlocked at the bottom of the fastboot screen. But I'm glad you got it figured out!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
I am now inside TWRP. How do I boot into my main system again?

EDIT: Tried to format data using twrp. Not a good idea, bootloop again. Will reflesh modded rom. But then I still have the problem I will always boot into TWRP. How do I boot into the normal OS?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Yeah I noticed that the fastboot screen still says locked, even though fastboot oem device-info says unlocked and it finally booted into TWRP as well. Crazy how many locks the chineese have built into this thing

Do I need to reflash a rom again after booting into TWRP?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gfrtill:
In twrp go to reboot then system. If you flashed the modded rom, everything should be working
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Lol never mind... After reflashing thorugh the edl tool it is currently booting up. Juuuunge! Wieso ist das so schwer? How many locks and checks did these chinese implement????

EDIT: Maybe it really had something to do with TWRP format data. Maybe it still somehow had bits of my last, unmodded and unrootet tom and refuced to boot because of that. (I think that because pressing the 3 vetical bars to see TWRP console it said "error: unable to mount /data"

Phone is currently at zte screen where the white animation blinks over the zte logo over and over again. This is normal right, I just need to give it a few moments?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
I did just that. Didn't work then... Well as I said after reflashing for the 100th time it finally is in the blinking logo state so I'll wait for now
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
I left my phone in the blinking zte screeen for nearly 2 hours now and nothing changed, so I now have the problem you had then installing lineageOS, but I am on the MOD RC1.2 from the russian guy.

I can still acces TWRP though. Did you also get a message like "keep system read only"? If so, what did you choose?

And before starting to mess around with anything, were you on android 10 or 9?

And maybe I should try out flashing MOD RC2? What did you use MOD RC2 or MOD RC1?

EDIT1:

TWRP still says unable to mount storage. The whole stuck at zte screen might have something to do with that.

EDIT 2:

I booted into fastboot from TWRP and now it says device state unlocked. It still says Secure Boot yes though.

Verified Boot | Android Open Source Project

source.android.com

This article says secure boot prevents installing older android versions. Since I used android 10 before and am now trying to boot android 9, this might be a problem. LineageOS is also based on android 9, right?

EDIT 3:

TWPR still shows data partition size is 0mb. This cannot be right, something is really messed up with the data partition. Try flashing lineageOS again and check if TWPR also shows weird values for the data partition
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
I finally got root working... Man this was complicated.

I gave up on fixing the stuck logo screen problem and instead install MOD RC 2 from the russian guy. This one magically seems to work, no more stuck logo screen, strange. It is also android 10 and lacks TWPR functionally, or at the very least I haven't found it yet. This there my journey ends, a huge thank you to you gfrtill, couldn't have done it without you.

If anybody ever discovers that's up with the part beeing stuck at the logo, please let us know.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gfrtill:
Lol, when I installed to Mod+Root+TWRP package it was android 9, don't know how youre on 10 xD but I'm glad you got it to work! Secure Boot might actually be the problem, maybe someone can help regarding that xD
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gfrtill:

Question on downgradability. I am on Version 2.9 and there is no upgrade and no downgrade update available from the ZTE website.

Can I just flash the Full EDL 1.6 on the phone without unlocking the bootloader?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YoCaine:
Hey guys,

I got a little problem here. I probably made a biiig mistake. I followed all the instructions of this thread - but I did not follow all the steps mentioned here: https://www.getdroidtips.com/how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-zte-axon-10-pro/

So I came in the main menu of the EDL Tool an chose "4", actually before doing anything else (except making a backup first).

So, now I am in bootloop, only the zte sign in blue shows up for a second --> disappears --> shows up again and so on.

As you probably recognized right now, I am a bit nooby here, so please be kind :) But I would really appreciate your help here!

Best

Edit 1: I forgot to mention that I can press vol + and vol - to get into fastboot mode I guess. But all the options lead to the same bootloop here. The EDL Tool does not recognize the phone.

Edit 2: I managed to get into edl mode. I tried to restore my backup I made at the beginning. But there is an error, that files are missing. I see a bunch of files in the folder though. I am willing to only restore my files and leave the rest as it was. So if anyone has an idea, please help.

I figured out that one main issue could be that I should have start from Android 9. I did start with 10.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] YoCaine:
I stop editing my first post and make a new one.

I looked up the log files. I found this:

Warning: C:\Axon10_EDL_TOOL_v3.2.5\backup\all\last_parti1.bin - not found !!!

Warning: C:\Axon10_EDL_TOOL_v3.2.5\backup\all\last_parti2.bin - not found !!!

Warning: C:\Axon10_EDL_TOOL_v3.2.5\backup\all\last_parti3 - not found !!!

Warning: C:\Axon10_EDL_TOOL_v3.2.5\backup\all\last_parti5 - not found !!!

Indeed the files are missing. But why? Can anybody tell? How could I make something wrong with a backup? 🙃

Am I right that I first have to lock the bootloader to get away of bootloop? And maybe the backup will work after that? If yes, how can I do it?

Edit: Managed to flash EDL Full 1.6. Got Android 9 running right now, but still with bootloader unlocked. Which means I can not flash any stock android higher than 9, correct? So, should I lock the bootloader or should I root and flash LOS? Somebody reading this at all? :-D
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Sorry I am a bit late, but yes, someday somebody reads this. Have you had any more progress?

I NEVER played around with lingeage OS and the other guy with whom I managed to root my deviced tried it, but didn't seem to have much luck with it either.

Generally, apart from security reasons and your phone taking 5s longer to boot I see no reason why you should re-lock your boot loader after you have once unlocked it.

Why "root and flash"? As far as I understand, rooting only applys for a given OS so if you install another OS your previous root is irrelevant.

TLDR: I learned toying around with Android roms is a HUGE pain in the ass.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] bobo31:
will this work on the axon 30 s or 5g
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Yoshi182:
Once again for everybody:

Hi,

it has been nearly 1 year since I last did anything like this. I wanted to write an manual once, but I sadly lost the file, and I don't rember much anymore.

TLDR: I cannot help you much, sorry.

That being said: I am 90% sure the tool does NOT work on any other phone than Axon 10 Pro 4g. It didn't even work on the 5g version of this exact phone, i think. Such tools are very speciallised, and used very neat tricks and maybe little vurnarabilities to unlock the bootloader, something the manufactorer doesn't want you to do. The manufactorer usually puts a lot of security measures in your way to prevent you (or hackers) from gaining root acces

I do remember it was a BIG pain in the ass to get root working on my axon 10 Pro. I nearly destroyed the entire phone 3 times (not kidding)! Definitely never try to root your main phone, you might very well loose all your data! This is not a beginners job, at least not for the brand axon.

If you can, I would advise you to buy a different brand, there rooting is well documented. Just not enought people in english speaking countries have an axon 10 (and maybe axon 30) for there to be good documentation. There are some brands were rooting is rather straight forward, but I dont rember which plus it changes so just google it.

I have tried.Also brick.

Now when I press the power button, the phone can only go to the ZTE logo interface, and then restart, repeated.When I press '+' and '-' and power,it can go to a menu ,can choose ‘boot to FFBI’、'boot to QMMI'、‘start’ 、‘power off’、‘restart booloader’ etc,is it the bootloader mode?

hello

i am interested in your methods here and you seem to know quite a bit about edl..

i am curious to know if there were any protections and if so how you get around them?

I ask because i have edl files for n976v and g975u which are usa s10+ and vzw n10+ 5g..

I know these are different devices but same chipsets.. i have signed programmers and a way to get to edl.. i am also able to recover from hard bricks using them as they flash the bl files just fine..

the issue i have however is any partitions on lun0 fail.. usually returning an error saying writing to lun0 is not allowed..

keep in mind im using the xmls that came with the files and have only used emmcdl and qfil in my attempts..

lun0 of course holds all the important stuff such as system boot recovery vendor etc etc..

oem unlock is supported and allowed but after oem unlocking in odin mode it reboots and wipes and resets the oem unlock before anything could be flashed in odin.. in boot logs during this time it will say it is unlocked but after the data wipe says its not unlocked again..

i mainly am trying to figure out if theres a way to flash say system in edl mode by modifying the xmls or using other tools etc. and if u ever ran into anything similar?

if u got any insights you could always pm me or hit me up on tgram or hangouts..

if u dont got any insights or dont have time to collaborate then i understand!

First of all, I would like to thank you for the great work on the tool and hope that that your work will be rewarded in some way and maybe you can donate some. Yesterday without opening the boot loader only enabled in developer mode USB debug and the Axon 10 Pro connected to the computer and the tool EDL started Handy with the tool started in EDL mode and first made a backup and in the direct connection the 1.8 firmware played on with the EDL tool. I was very excited and hoped it all worked because I didn't open the bootloader before. But what can I say, it all worked great and the OTA update function has been preserved for me so I can decide for myself whether I will play my upcoming updates via OTA or EDL tool. Thanks again for the great work
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] djkuz:
Did you flash the FULL EDL 1.8 firmware through the edl tool? or just made a backup?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Shogunes:
Would be nice if you write if it worked for you, it is important that the bootloader is closed otherwise there may be a bootloop, may not have to have the one user from another forum has made it with open bootloader and has landed in the bootloop. I repeated the flash at another Axon 10 Pro to know if it was random but that's not so but both devices had closed boot loaders and that was also never opened Hello, I first made a backup and then flashed the 1.8 directly and everything without any problems OTA is still in function and nothing is changed or deleted

In between boot loops hold Volume - and Volume + at the same time and plug in your usb cable. It will enter EDL mode. I then used the EDL tool to flash the stock boot.img and it brought my phone back.
