[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] nirmalgeorge:
Though Realme has not released a deeptest apk specifically for Realme 7 pro, we can use the deeptest apk released for Realme 6 pro. Please refer to steps in [Guide] Unlocking Bootloader and Disabling VerifiedBoot for unlocking the bootloader. I have not tried disabling the "Verified Boot" as I am not sure whether the vbmeta image is compatible with Realme 7 pro. Will update this thread if I make any progress.
[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] surferion:
Ah ok, thanks. saw the threads a while ago, but didn't want to risk it.

as far as i know, you cannot run magisk without disabling VB - so no root still.
[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] nirmalgeorge:
Let's hope the kernel sources gets released soon. After that we will be able to customise our phone.
[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] resurrect:
We wait relase source code maybe if some write email to realme For share source kernel realme do fast
[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] DerGriechisch:
What happens when you disable VB?

Can it be reenabled?

Does it stop official OTAs?
[Realme 7 Pro Questions & Answers] r.i.f:
I was to send email to Realme EU support. So I'm waiting for an incoming message with a positive consent :)

Stock Firmware Packages

Yes, they are finally here! This thread is for stock firmware packages.

These packages are specifically made to be installed with this EDL tool: https://xdaforums.com/axon-10-pro/development/axon-10-pro-5g-expanded-edl-tools-fixes-t4174667

READ THE WARNINGS IN THAT THREAD BEFORE USING THE TOOLS

These packages are UNOFFICIAL unless marked otherwise. ZTE has not released stock firmware packages for most phones and versions.​

How to install an EDL firmware package:

Note: These packages are specifically made for the EDL tools, not MiFlash or anything else.

1. Install the latest version of the EDL tools (in this thread)

2. Download a firmware package from this thread.

3. Unpack the firmware archive into the tool directory "Firmware_Package_Restore"

Make sure you unpack the firmware into Firmware_Package_Restore directory like this -​

Just for example - the script would be located in:​

"...\Axon10_(More)_EDL_Tools_v1_1b\Firmware_Package_Restore\Write Firmware v1.10 to A.ps1"​

And the firmware files would be in:​

"...\Axon10_(More)_EDL_Tools_v1_1b\Firmware_Package_Restore\firmware_1_10\"​

4. Put phone in EDL mode and run Load Programmer

5.

Run a backup of your phone! Even if it isn't booting.

6. Run whichever "Write Firmware vX to Y.ps1" you want (X = firmware version, Y = A or B partition) (If you don't know which partition is currently booting, just install both.)

7. Wait for the install to finish ("done")

8. Start the phone (hold the power button until it resets, or run the Reset script)

9. You might see a few bootloops and then the phone ask you to do a factory reset / system wipe.

10. If the phone does not boot - look in the tools thread for how to use the Fix Bootable tool and try that.

11. Done.

Firmware Package Downloads:

~~~ A2020U (US Version) (Non-5G) ~~~

Firmware Version: 1.10 (GEN_NA_A2020U_PROV1.10)

Android: 9 (Pie)

Source: UNOFFICIAL (bobthenormal)

Download: Axon10Pro A2020U EDL Firmware v1.10(A9)

(If you downloaded this firmware before 12/9/2020 the script had an error, re-download the firmware or simply replace the script files with these ones: Firmware 1.10 Script Fix)

Thanks:

@djkuz for the original EDL tool for Axon 7

@Unjustified Dev for his port of the tool and tons of other work

@rafyvitto for a ton of ROMs and his stock B12 backup

and @eKeith for requesting the firmware enough times I finally bothered to make it =P
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Please keep issues with the firmware here, and issues with the EDL tools in that thread.

I will upload firmware versions for A2020U: 1.11, 1.13, 2.09 (A10) (locked and unlocked). I just need to get time to actually test these out to make sure they work.

I didn't test the 1.10 version either but it should work and some people are stuck on A10 without it so I'm trying to post it quickly.

If anyone can wants the tools or firmware packages like these for their phone version (EU, CN, whatever non-A2020U Non-5G) and can volunteer their phone/time, PM me - I can't do them myself as I don't have those phones, but I can give safe instructions on what to do so that I can change make a version of the tools for those phones.

I'd suggesta new thread. I haven't seen anyone with that phone or a firmware package for it. If you can find someone that has your phone with stock firmware who is willing to do a little work, I'll tell them what to do to make it.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] amooor:
Am sure 100% the problem is Firmware.

Do you know why because the holder tray for your ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5g in my phone is making for 1 sim like oneplus 7t in t-mobile if you unlocked and change the holder tray to hybrid dual sim it will work
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Hello, I tried to use your tools to restore my phone since its on the European version and my sim card doesn't work (its US). The Write Firmware v1.10 to A tells me that COMPort is not found even though I already launched the load programmer script and see a COMPort file in the folder. Any ideas on what I can do? Thank you for your time!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:

Thanks for the response! I will try it on Tuesday as I have finals. Will update to see what happens.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Okay I tried it again with the steps and now its giving me this.

https://pastebin.com/LwbK3vf7

It tells me that it can't find the files even though I have put the folder in that directory. Sorry for being ignorant I thought this wouldn't be too bad since I used to root Samsung devices.

Update:

I downloaded the new version of the edl tools and it still can't find the firmware files. Here is the log.

https://pastebin.com/LRuXEx0y

Another Update:

Sorry for the updates just wanted to see if I can fix it but I figured out why it didn't find the files.

For some reason, it would try to find the files inside the Firmware_Package_Restore instead of its own folder.

View attachment 5152479

Now, I am getting another error that is says that my device is not on the port although I put it in edl mode. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Here is another log with this error.

https://pastebin.com/ZtXwhUB0
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Hey! Thanks for attaching the log, that was perfect for finding the issue right away. The script is building the search_path incorrectly, here's corrected copies of the scripts. I'll update and re-upload the full firmware zip file as soon as I get a chance, but just replace the ones you have with these.

EDIT: Ah, yes hold on I'll take a look at the second issue. Sorry about that, didn't have a chance to test these.

So, the new problem appears to be something with the COM port communication. I have to get going in a minute but a few suggestions to try:

Reboot your phone into EDL then run the loader/firmware scripts right away. Sometimes the ports kind of time out.

Open Device Manager in windows and open the "Ports" list and make sure you see your phone on there. Edit the COMPort file to have the right one, or delete it to force the script to re-check if it's trying to connect to the wrong one.

Check the drivers - the tools have the stock A2020U drivers included, might need to reinstall them especially if you install drivers for other phones.

See if any of those help, let me know how it goes.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Thanks I will try this.

Edit:

I ended up deleting the com port file, ran Load Programmer, and the scripted worked. However, when it finished and I go back to boot my phone (I had to use the other edl tool and asked it to unlock the google FRP since I don't know another method to boot it back to normal) it boot back to the old rom it had. Its like it didn't write anything to the phone although the script did show me it was doing its job and end with a success. Any ideas? Here is my phone with the same firmware still installed after using the script.

View attachment 5153355

Update:

I decided to use the write firmware to b instead and now it is American. Thank you for all the hard work I thought I had to carry two phones with me everywhere lol. Now I have another question. When I reboot my phone, a message pops up saying that the phone is unlocked and to either press the power button to pause or continue. I read in the threads that this means that fast boot is disabled. Is there anyway I can get fast boot back?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Nice! Super glad that it worked.

That A/B issue is why I considered just making the script automatically install it to both A and B. The only way I can tell which side is booting is to go into fastboot, which I find annoying. But if you install a ROM to A while you're booting from B, you won't see it obviously, so I generally just flash both sides at the same time since I always have full backups of both anyway.

As for that message, it sort-of means fastboot is disabled - it pops up when:

1. the bootloader is unlocked

AND

2. the stock bootloader is installed

So to get rid of the message you can either re-lock the phone OR install Unjustified Dev's patched bootloader. And since the stock bootloader does not have fastboot, the only way to have it is to install the unlocked bootloader.

You can do that either through the old tool ("unlock" the phone again), or through mine by running "write_UD-bootloader.ps1" in the Write_Unlocked_Bootloader_and_FRP folder.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Thanks for the great help. Now I have installed twrp and will most likely just put magisk and keep the stock rom as I am now terrified on installing a custom rom since it lead to me to a lot of trouble. Maybe I will touch lineage later on but for now I will just have twrp and root.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
You're welcome!

I wouldn't be afraid of doing custom roms once you do a full backup of your working phone with my tools! If you have the 256gb phone you can add the userdata backup to that and really have everything including settings, apps, and data. Then if anything goes wrong you just do a full restore back to exactly where you were.

I haven't been trying custom ROMs because I just don't have the hours to spend trying them out and re-configuring each one to find out which I want to use, otherwise I definitely would. The stock ROM is really kinda poop (I'm on A10).

Also, if you try flashing a custom ROM and it doesn't boot after you install it - before assuming it didn't work and restoring, FIRST try the "Fix bootable" tool. Some ROMs get installed to a different partition than they were made from, so they have that flag for which partition they think they are installed on. When it doesn't match it won't boot. Good luck!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Thanks for the tip! I forgot to mention something strange about the reset from edl tool. When I was turning my phone back to American, I tried to use that and it gave me an error saying this

{ERROR: Command line argument 'reset=' is not recognized as a valid option}

On the shell window it shows different options and there is one that says reset but without = sign. I'm not sure if its some typo but wanted to let you know.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Ah that is weird! I must have forgot to save some changes to that script, it's supposed to use the XML file. Fixed that and threw on a script with a long delay ( version 1.1d now)

Thanks for pointing that out.. my quality control guy is slacking! (I'm the quality control guy...)

Lemme know if you find any other ones.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Sorry for all the replies I just want to be sure everything is fine with the backup tool. I did the full back up and it looks like it worked but I was getting warnings that the files it was looking for returned as null. Is that supposed to happen? Here is the link with the log.

backup_all log - Pastebin.com
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Oh whew, you scared me if there was a problem with backup_all :LOL:

That's the one I was especially careful about since I got burned by the original EDL backup tool.

No worries about bringing up potential issues, I can't guarantee the tools don't mess up anyone's phone but I'd still feel terrible if they did so I appreciate the "bug testing".

The warnings there are all good even though they look scary.

If you look in the log, you see the files are attempt to read (and returned NULL) first, then once it has gone through all of them it repeats the list. The way the EDL interface works is kind of odd. It doesn't take a "read" command, it takes a "write" command "reversed", so it executes it like a write command sort of. That means it looks for the files to "write" first to prepare, even though it doesn't actually use them (except to overwrite them if they do exist).

It makes sense from a programming perspective, efficient and saves ROM.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Hi, I am back again. Magisk had an update and after it was installed, the phone wouldn't boot up anymore. It just stayed at the bootloader and I had to wipe it and installed the original firmware as for some unknown reason, my backup is not there. I tried using the restore tool and it couldn't find my back up. I checked the specific files folders to see if the backup was there and nothing was found. The good thing is that the phone can be brought back life even if I have to start fresh ( I don't mind it to be honest since I don't use a lot of apps). This inspired me to install lineage but the link on that thread is broken. Someone asked the OP of the thread about it but I think he hasn't been active for a while. Do you by any chance have the lineage rom file? Sorry for asking but I don't know where to look. Thanks for reading!
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bobthenormal:
Damn that's not good. You checked in the Backup tool folder for the backups?

They would be named "backup_all-critical-(date/time)" and "backup_all-non-critical-(date/time)"

The Restore tool doesn't automatically try to find backups, you have to move the backup files you want to restore into the restore directories (critical to critical, non-critical to non-critical).

It's not super user friendly, but it's a ton of extra work to make it search for backups and pop up a menu and such. Hopefully that's the issue, but if not I'd like to know if you figure out why the backups aren't there.

I *think* I have the lineage ROM... but I can't upload it right now, on slow internet! Might be a few weeks before I get back, if rafy hasn't uploaded it by then I'll upload it.

Also, the magisk update - I've had that happen on several phones too where it tries to update itself and bricks, so I'm really careful about when I do updates. Not sure if there's a safe method, maybe uninstalling magisk and reinstalling the new version.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Thanks, I found the folder where you mentioned. I am glad it works too since I have been weary with this phone not going to lie :LOL:. For now, I will leave the phone without root unless the lineage rom appears again. No worries for the wait I understand, comcast has been horrible in my house last year.

One thing I should had mentioned before is this weird issue I have been getting with my sd card. For some reason when the phone screen is not on, it will check the card and every so often it will give me a message saying its corrupted when turned on. Whats weird is that I can still listen to music from the card after I ignore the message but I am not sure if that can lead to damaging the files. I don't know what could had cause this but it started to occur the second week after the phone became American again.

Looking for lineage 16 rom? I do believe it is here.

MediaFire

MediaFire is a simple to use free service that lets you put all your photos, documents, music, and video in a single place so you can access them anywhere and share them everywhere.

www.mediafire.com

If that's not what you are looking for, I have all 3 roms from unjustified's now dead link on my laptop.

http://samson.nwwn.net/~unjust/Axon%2010%20Pro/LineageOS/

One is lineage 16 early release date. Second is lineage 16 that should be the same as rafy's link above. Third is lineage 17. If someone has a good suggestion for a free file host, I could possibly upload them.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Thanks for the link! I believe that's the one. I will try to flash it and pray it doesn't go south.

I wished I knew a nice hosting site that's free. Hopefully someone will shine in on that.

Update:

Unfortunately the twrp image is not there unless is one of the ones that says magisked on it. The dead link was also the one for the twrp file and its gone at the moment. I will wait for the meantime hopefully that file still exists.

Update:

Finally after the struggle, I managed to get lineage on my phone. It feels like the old times when I used to mess with my galaxy s5 all over again!

I also found the twrp files looking around today. Here is the link incase anyone needs it.

@bobthenormal

Hi Bob and all,

It's been quite some time since last visiting the forums; I had to prioritize my time elsewhere.

Anyhow, thanks for all of your work, including your Stock A9 EDL Package.

After being unable to get past a loading programmer error (although successful COM connection), I tried your EDL tool on an older W10 PC and it worked.

I was able to perform a clean A10 backup and subsequent A9 EDL. However, I still cannot "ADB reboot bootloader" to access fastboot. It seems that the A9 EDL bootloader does not include fastboot. I had thought that it would.

How can I load a bootloader with fastboot?

My intent is to try a few custom ROMs or a GSI and later root using magisk.

Thanks,

Keith
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] karlovac:
Hi @bobthenormal, thanks for posting these. I followed the instructions, but my phone is now stuck in a perpetual bootloop, and holding down the power button doesn't fix it. Just to be clear what I did:

1. Downloaded the tools and firmware packages, following the instructions on where to put the files.

2. Ran a backup.

3. Ran both Write Firmware v1.10 to A.ps1 and Write Firmware v1.10 to B.ps1

4. Restarted the phone.

It now gets to the screen with the blue ZTE logo and immediately reboots. I can't see a way to stop it. Any ideas?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Hello, it looks like the phone is trying to boot on one of the partitions but for some reason doesn't allow it. I got this from the other thread :

6. Set Bootable Partition:

Alright this one is important for everyone. There are two scripts here - one for slot A and one for slot B. These just run a simple command, but they will fix a common problem I (and probably others) have - when the ROM active-slot information does NOT match the partition (hard drive) bootable flag, the phone will bootloop EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING IS GOOD

Try to use that script set bootable partition and here is the thread I got the above info from https://xdaforums.com/t/axon-10-pro-non-5g-expanded-edl-tools-new-fixes-general-tips.4174667/
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] karlovac:
@los95 thanks for the reply. I saw that too, but I can't get my phone out of the boot loop now in order to run the scripts. It starts up, shows the logo and then immediately reboots. I've tried holding down power for a long time (20s+) power+volup and power+voldown, but it won't exit the loop. As far as I understand, to run the scripts, I need to get my phone into EDL mode and connected, right?
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Yes the phone needs to be in edl mode which I think only happens when you connect the phone and then proceed with the button press.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] karlovac:
Well my phone kept rebooting all night, until it was stuck on the ZTE logo screen. After that the battery died. I charged it a little, and now it doesn't go into a boot loop, but instead it just gets stuck at the ZTE screen.

I assume this is the state you mentioned previously @los95 . I don't know if it's in EDL mode now - I'll plug it in tonight to see if I can run the bootable partition script.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
Edl mode is when the phone looks like its turned off but the pc detects it from a com port. I meant to say that in order to get into edl mode, you need to connect the phone to the pc and then press the power button along with the volume buttons that was mentioned.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] karlovac:
@los95 what's the exact button combination to enter EDL mode? I used the adb command line (adb reboot edl) to get my phone into EDL mode originally.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
@karlovac pressing both volume buttons and hold them until you hear the usb sound. If it doesnt work, try holding the power button so it can restart and once it does then quickly press and hold the volume buttons.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] karlovac:
Thanks - I was able to get it into EDL mode by doing the following:

Hold power for ages until the phone shuts down (now it is no longer in the loop)

Plug into USB cable

Hold down power until it begins to turn on, and then quickly hold volume keys down for a while, until I heard the USB sound

I was then able to run Load Programmer, and then Set Bootable Partition - Slot B. I did Slot B first, since I assumed it was on A. That ran successfully, but then the phone still got stuck at the ZTE logo after starting.

I can't seem to get it back into EDL mode again. Maybe it's just my timing, but I've tried the above steps (which worked first time originally) and can't seem to get to the USB sound.

UPDATE: I was able to get it into EDL mode eventually. The trick is to hold down the volume keys immediately after power. However, after running Set Bootable Partition - Slot A, it still doesn't get past the ZTE logo. So now I've tried *both* partition slots, and it's still stuck.
[ZTE Axon 10 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] los95:
@karlovac If the phone is not turning on anymore it may be in edl mode. Sometimes the windows drivers get weird. I would restart the pc and then connect the phone and see if any of the scripts detects it. Thats what I did when my laptop wasn't detecting it.
