[HOW TO] Unbricking/Restoring your Kindle Fire

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that zergRush root has been patched and no longer works on the most resent updates. At the moment I haven't checked to see what to use to replace it. I would advise anyone who is needing to unbrick your device to go over to this thread started by Vashypooh: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399889. It is the Kindle Fire Utility v0.9.1 and has options to unbrick your kindle fire among many other great features. Please try his utility out as I have not been keeping up with this thread much over the holidays.
My kindle fire was stuck in a bootloop/bricked (info on what was going on prior to fixing: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355371) after some complications when trying to install google apps. I may of deleted system files, really not sure what happened at this point. Anyway, this is what finally fixed it. This will get your device to the just out of the box state. Just follow along with the commands. I documented as much as I could, but if you have any questions feel free to ask. Hope this helps anyone whos Kindle Fire wont boot up!
For this to work you will need fastboot and zergRush root
get fastboot here: http://multiupload.com/TPWBYSCGM7
details on how fastboot works: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
zergRush root: http://rootkindlefire.com/kindle-fire-root/how-to-root-kindle-fire/
->zergRush should be in the folder called files when extracted
Also make sure your device is charged, this will save you some time at the end!
I most likely not respond to private messages. This is a general thread so anyone can post here. It is beneficial to others since they may be experiencing the same problems as you. Being in my inbox wont help anyone.
***DISCLAIMER***: This process may not work for everyone! It really does depend on what you did to brick your kindle fire!! Also please consider thinking twice about messing with your device again after you fix it. Unless, of course, you think you can fix it on your own or are an advanced user.
PS: Read other peoples posts! Many have posted a lot of useful information, please use this to your advantage before asking questions!
PPS:What you did to brick your device is probably not unique. in order to prevent this thread from annoying those trying to help and from getting too long, we may ignore posts that ask questions or ask for solutions that have already been asked. If you don't get a reply within 24 hours, your problem probably falls under this.
PPPS:If the directions don't work and you don't see a solution in this thread already then you probably bricked your device beyond this way of recovery and need to seek other ways. If you are still having troubles please post a DESCRIPTIVE (pictures, links, anything and everything you did to get where you are at now) question/post with the problems you are facing and we can try and help you. Thank you.
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
Hard reset may work for some people - hold power button for ~20 seconds and turn back on. If it doesn't then proceed:
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
How to begin the how-to using cmd:
1. Download the files you need and stick them in your C:\ directory
2. stick fastboot in C:\KindleFireRoot\files directory
3. open cmd (command prompt)
4. navigate to the files directory on your C:\ drive
should look similar to this:
​
Code:
C:\users\userName>cd C:\KindleFireRoot\files
5. now you are in the kindleFireRoot\files directoryshould look something like this:
​
Code:
C:\KindleFireRoot\files>
Now you can start following the directions in the how-to and type exactly what you see to the right of the $ and # symbols. You should see them but do not type another one next to what you already see.
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF YOU THINK MODIFYING PERMISSIONS ON /system/app IS WHAT CAUSED YOUR DEVICE TO BOOTLOOP THEN FOLLOW THESE STEPS:
check your permissions first
Code:
adb shell
ls -l /system/
they should look like:
Code:
drwxr-xr-x root root 1970-01-01 00:00 lost+found
drw-r-xr-x root root 2011-11-29 12:31 app
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-16 03:03 bin
-rw-r--r-- root root 2144 2008-08-01 12:00 build.prop
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 etc
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 fonts
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 framework
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 lib
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 media
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 tts
drwxr-xr-x root root 2011-11-16 03:03 usr
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-16 03:03 vendor
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2011-11-29 12:31 xbin
if yours do not look like this then continute:
follow the steps to temp root FIRST(steps 1 and 2 below)!
AFTER you temp root:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 755 /system/app
then reboot
Note: this can work with any directory that has permissions messed up
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF YOU CHANGED WALLPAPERS/THEME AND BRICKED YOUR DEVICE BY MESSING WITH FRAMEWORK-RES.APK TRY THIS:
if you have adb active, try
adb shell ls -l /system/framework/framework-res.apk
if you dont see it show permissions as rw-r--r--
temp root (steps 1 and 2) first then run:
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb shell chown root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell mount -o remount ro /system
adb reboot
if that does not work, then you need to go back to the old file, get it from the amazon update (download the update from their site and unzip it with 7zip or winrar, ignore the fact it's called bin and just rename it if you don't know how to do it otherwise to .zip).
then run
adb push framework-res.apk /data/local/tmp
adb shell mount -o remount rw /system
adb shell mv /data/local/tmp/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chown root /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot
---------------------------------------///------------------------------------
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE APPLIES TO YOU THEN DO THESE STEPS:
//Step 1: push zergRush on the device then run chmod 755 on zergRush
Code:
$ adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
$ adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
//Step 2: temp root
Code:
$ adb shell
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
$ cd data/local
cd data/local
$ cd tmp
cd tmp
$ ls
ls
boomsh
zergRush
sh
$ rm sh boomsh [B]Remove everything but zergRush here, it will not matter if yours is missing/out of order compared to mine[/B]
rm sh boomsh
$ ./zergRush

finished. total time: 0.016s
At this point the kindle hit splash screen for a few minutes then told me that my device needed to be charged (was at 13%) to continue. **So make sure your device is charged**, otherwise you will have to wait about 20-30 minutes depending on your charge %. The amber light finally came on while connected to PC which it wasn't doing before so this was a good sign.
After it was charged enough the next step stated: "Your kindle has detected a problem and must clear app storage.The recovery precess will erase some applications and data from your device. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later. This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. You will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your amazon account. Please press power button to proceed"
After you press the power button it shows a progress bar, reboots, hits splash screen for a few minutes then takes you to set up your Kindle Fire account YAYYYY!

Just a suggestion but perhaps one of the mods could move this to the developer's forum (or sticky it and make the links have http:// in front)? The OP could not post it there since they do not have 10 posts yet, but they're a friend of mine and we worked together to unbrick their device.

unbricking from recovery
I am going to try the method for unbricking, but not sure it will work on mine. My fire is stuck on the boot screen where it has a long message saying there is a problem with the fire and that it needs to restore the apps and bring it back to default.
It then says to press the power button continue with the restore. Then it completes, says success, then reboots right back into the same message screen all over again.
When I adb devices I get "firexxxxxSN recovery"
I am hoping fastboot can help me or perhaps I need to re-image recovery or boot.
What happened was this. I tried to follow a method to change my wallpapers using metamorph. I followed all the steps then started getting theme errors and such while in the kindle. I rebooted and was stuck in the bootloop as described here.
Being the novice I am, I thought I could then copy over a fresh copy of "system" from the fire system dump that was posted. I did this and this is where I am now.
Any help would be appreciated. It might be a good idea for us to figure this one out so that we have the procedure.

you dont need root to run idme.
But since you can get root, try clearing the /data/dalvik-cache by hand & reboot.. much quicker than a full userdata wipe.

Hi, assuming your responding to me, whats idme? Right now I cant get root just a bootloop. And when I adb devices I get my device serial # recovery where is normally says device serial # device
---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Here is the exact message I get on the screen:
'Your Kindle has detected a problem and must clear app storage. The recovery process will erase some applications and data from your device. Apps from the appstore are stored in the cloud and can be reinstalled later.
This will reset your kindle to its original factory settings. you will need to re-register your kindle prior to downloading items from your Amazon account.
Please press power button to proceed.'
After i press the power button I get a status bar indicating the restore, it then says success, then reboots and ultimately comes back to the same restore screen as noted above.
Any help is appreciated.

Hey, can you please tell me how you get into fastboot? I went to the wiki and did everything it said there but am stuck because I am getting stuck on step 5
Boot device into bootloader - How do I do this? Is this simply powering on the fire?
Make sure the device is in FASTBOOT and not HBOOT - same question

I tried this previous to what I explained in my fix above and it didn't work. I was still stuck in bootloop and getting the same errors in the logs.

Don't rely on the wiki directions...those are meant for other devices (particularly phones). Just do the steps listed in the OP in that order. You won't get some screen that explicitly says FASTBOOT. You'll just assume you are there because fastboot commands will work (and the fact you told the device to go into fastboot before rebooting it through bootmode idme).

Just because you have a bootloop, does not imply you cannot do things like run adb. You need to run "adb shell" with the kindle plugged into the computer and then push over the zergRush exploit and get root and then switch the mode to FASTBOOT. You cannot as far as I know get into FASTBOOT on the device unless you are able to tell it to through temp rooting and adb first.

From trying that with ubeezee, it did nothing to help on its own. It took clearing out all user data to trigger a restore that did something useful.

i got to step 3 and there is no animation over the letters, so i think i am in fastboot, but i can not access the shell anymore. it appears my device is not being seen by adb? evn at a cmd prompt i tried fastboot devices and that shows nothing either.
any advice?

I'm not totally sure what you mean. Are you trying to access adb while in fastboot? Because that will not work.
When you're in fastboot, you don't use adb, you use fastboot commands to wipe all the user data (see the reference link in the OP for the commands that work on fastboot and note that it's nothing like adb). Fastboot runs a much lower level than anything you access in adb--it's like being in the BIOS for your computer more or less. It wont show "devices" or anything like that unless you explicitly run the "fastboot -i 0x1949 devices" command (I didn't bother to run that command on the kindle, I just jumped ahead and had it wiped using fastboot, since it didn't really matter if it detected it or not).
However, even if you don't run that command to show devices, you'll know it works when you run the fastboot command to wipe data and it gives you a reply. If it doesn't give a reply and just hangs, then you weren't in fastboot (or you typed the command wrong) and need to try again (press ctrl+c to cancel the command, but just FYI, it takes 3-5 minutes for it to wipe all data, so be patient before canceling).

Like yareally said, you should move on to step 4 if you are in fastboot. The only time you will need to access adb shell is when it says on the instructions.

ok, i'm sorry if i wasn't clear.
I saw the $ prompt, so I assumed the commands were run in a adb shell.
If i run the fastboot commands in a cmd window, this is the output:

I'm a bit confused as to what you are doing. What were you using before to enter commands? Whatever you were using that got you to step 3, was what you need to use. There should always be $ infront of your commands.
Oh I just saw the problem, the fastboot your using is out of date. Theres no -i command. I think the one that I linked was out of date too.. I'll upload the one I have which is the most current and link it on the main post. Sorry about that! So just start over after you update fastboot using whatever you were using before to enter commands that got you into fastboot.

As a note I had to do this last week when I upgraded to the new 4.2.2 roms, and I was unable to sideload the rom until I rename it to something smaller.
So instead of something like "rom_trickdroid7.5" I just renamed it to "rom.zip" and at that point sideload command worked fine.

OK so what you need to do is place the zip in your tools folder in andsdk. I am not sure if you have a platform-tools folder where there is an adb.exe file but whatever folder you have that in the zip also needs to go.
In recovery make sure you navigate to advanced then sideload and then swipe to start sideload. Once sideload is enabled then you type in the command prompt adb devices... It should show your device and have sideload next to it. If that is what you see last step is type
adb sideload nameofzip.zip
It automatically hoes to the root of your internal memory

I changed directories to where the adb.exe is (inside platform-tools) and ADB Sideload is already started in TWRP. However, whenever I type "adb devices" it only says "List of attached devices" and nothing under it. Whenever I try flashing the ROM, it says error: device not found. What am I doing wrong here? I even changed the name of the ROM to rom.zip to make it shorter as per a suggestion in the first page of the thread, but that didn't work either.

Okay now I realize my device isn't actually recognized, although it works fine with fastboot usb.
What do I do? I tried having windows automatically search for drivers but it didn't find anything.

Okay after doing some more reading I realized I never actually opened SDK Manager, and when I try, it just opens a black command prompt window and then shuts down. I then came across this article and realized I need Java JDK drivers before I can actually run SDK Manager and then follow the rest of the tutorial. Maybe that is the problem??

are you trying to use adb while fastboot is running on the phone? if so that won't work.
you need to have your phone in recovery mode or during normal operation for adb to work.
also make sure no other instances of adb are running use task manager (through ctrl+alt+del) to check and make sure no other instance of adb is running. i had the issue where it wouldn't kill previous iterations of itself.
*edit*
hmmm i just noticed your screenshot.
looks like you may need to reinstall the htc drivers, alternatively you could try to install koush's universal adb driver.

could very well be, if the sdk isn't properly installed - chances are the drivers aren't either. have you tried manually updating the drivers for the "unknown device"?

Hey Man, you need to make sure you install HTC Drivers and make sure the phone is recognized by the computer. Also, open sdk Manager and download updates, I will post a screen shot, I am using the same adb bundle you are. Update all the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 APIs and next to each item under 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 make sure it says installed...May help with adb recognizing your phone.
The only issue right now is your phone being recognized by adb while in sideload because once it is the process will work I can promise you that.
Let me know if you have questions, I would get back to you sooner but I am in Hawaii and where its 11pm on the east its only 5 18pm here

Yeah, thank you very much guys. I was playing God of War and waiting for HTC Sync Manager to download so I can install it, haha. Everything went fine and the rom sideloaded 100%. Now I rebooted into recovery but I do not know where the rom.zip is located so I can install it? Any ideas?

Never mind, I just realized it should be in the sideload.zip file. I am so dumb today.
Thanks for all your help, guys.

I have never used CWM but if you boot into recovery, look for ADB Sideload through the options you have in CWM Recovery, if you do enable sideload and verify its connected and recognized by the computer by typing adb devices and it will show you your device with sideload. If it shows that then yes it will work

Someone please HELPP! Before...

Okay...so here Iam once more driving myself insane. I'am pretty intermediate with devices and rooting and can usually do things solo or with slight help...but!!. So just received the device from a friend of mine and I actually want to unlock it to allow Simple Mobile (sim card) and services...when i Hboot it says Radio ON...to what i presume will be the freedom I need. Okay so here goes my trouble... I know that your supposed to downgrade the device to root, or temp root, I have been following the instructions to the T (or at least I'm hoping so) on http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f62...ouch-4g-2-3-4-hb-0-89-0005-stock-rom-1344617/ and even on this site which is where i also have tried following the directions. Okay so what confuses me is that one post says tools, the other says platform-tools..and if i'm incorrect the directory has both. Okay so I've opened up a command line from both and it's around
$ adb push fre3vo /sdcard/fre3vo
$ adb shell
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
that I start to have my trouble!! I was actually able to copy this...
C:\AndroidSdk\platform-tools> adb push fre3vo /sdcard/fre3vo
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
cannot stat 'fre3vo': No such file or directory <---is this the error file im supposed to get?? so I rewrite it connecting the sdcard to fre3vo and then wallah!! A whole bunch of writing like ...
C:\AndroidSdk\platform-tools> adb push fre3vo/sdcard/fre3vo
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.31 <------------------------Right over here (excessive content so i deleted)
C:\AndroidSdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/fre3vo: No such file or directory
$ /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start FAA90000 -end FFFFFFFF
/data/local/tmp/fre3vo: not found <---------------------------So I go down through the line of codes I'm supposed to trty and all say not found
$
Now as you can see this is where my problems arise. Every code or set of codes I get result in not found?? What am I doing wrong? I saw a tutorial on youtube and when he added this coding it was immediately followed by a massive amount of writing and then ADB seems to have shut down...Am i supposed to have ADB running while I do this? I've even tried rewriting the codes thinking that maybe a space was misplaced or such. Please help guys. Also what I did was manually created a directory at C;\Adroidsdk since there was none and placed all of the adb tools there or hope I did. Before that every time I'd open the executable the adb program would open from C\users\appdata\local\temp. I honestly don't know where i went wrong. I really want to root this phone. I went as far as spending 30 dollars on one of those bogus websites that can "root your device guaranteed" only to find that the programs they had like Superoneclick I already had on my desktop. Go figure..Ok I will sit here miserably until one of you rescues me. Thanks.

Some people said they used this tool to root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870652
I personally have not tried it, but hey, you never know

Did you unzip the files before putting them in platform tools?
Also shouldn't you be pushing the file to the folder you are trying to chmod? It looks like you are pushing it to sdcard and I'm pretty sure it needs to be in the tmp folder:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
Instead of sdcard, but don't quote me on that I haven't done this in ages. Trying it *shouldn't* break anything... I think
If you can't push it to tmp then you are missing steps.
Edit:
Found an xda thread that verifies the file should be pushed to data local tmp

Did you unzip the files before putting them in platform tools?
Also shouldn't you be pushing the file to the folder you are trying to chmod? It looks like you are pushing it to sdcard and I'm pretty sure it needs to be in the tmp folder:
adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp
Instead of sdcard, but don't quote me on that I haven't done this in ages. Trying it *shouldn't* break anything... I think
If you can't push it to tmp then you are missing steps.
Edit:
Found an xda thread that verifies the file should be pushed to data local tmp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
Shame on the person who wrote the other guide.

Yeah, I've actually tried it this way and the other. the thing is one site says tools..the other platform tools, and then this last one sd card?? I've tried them all I think...Maybe my adb is installed in the wrong area? could that be why possibly after i chmod and start putting in the files to finally root the phone it says "file not found"? I know it's alot of writing but I'm going to copy and paste everything on a new reply to see if you or anyone can see what I'm doing wrong. I even copy and paste to the cmd and nothing.

If you could find me a place to download visionary from I'd be eternally grateful to you. It seems when they banned the app from google they must've done so everywhere else. Everytime I try to download my PC stops the download and says virus detected even with anti-virus off. Every time I go to the Visionary website and click the download link it takes me to some bogus website and never to the download link. The other sites I've found them on them on the PC says Virus detected...or maybe it's google chrome. Think I should try downloading on Internet Explorer?

what i'm gonna do guys is try the process from the xda website and then post it to see if one of you detect where I went wrong. Crossing Fingers...

now here it is ladies and gents...maybe we can find the problem here somewhere

There's no wrong place to install adb. If your in GingerBread, I don't think visionary will work. Try ginger break. But you have to downgrade to root your phone. If your on 2.3.4, you gotta get on 2.2.1 I think

Thanks to you guys I went back step by step and figured out the problem . So apparently when i had originally downloaded the fre3vo and misc files they were the wrong files. I looked inside of platform tools and both files were there as applications?? yeah like actual install type applications..finally it has all seemed to work so i'll now move on to step two...won't say im done till ive succesfully rooted and ill keep you posted but thank you guys.,.for your time and dedication towards helping me :_)

I used visionary and it worked for me

cant get rid of bootloader screen after returning to stock

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4

Try to go into fastboot using "adb reboot bootloader" or using the volume keys to go into fastboot. After that you should be able to use "adb oem lock" to lock the bootloader and you will no longer see that message when you boot.

Thanks. Will give a try again on the weekend when I Qualcomm firehose it back to stock again. Cheers

Hi, I managed to have a play with the phone using the edl tool, the axon7 toolkit and even adb 15 second installer. No command i have tried on B29 MM will lock the bootloader.
The 5 second screen is still there on boot and shows unlocked. I went upto N B15 and the OEM is greyed out but still a 5 second screen. So reverted back to MM B29 for now and hope someone can help me.
Edit - I've tried flashing stock images with axon 7 edl tool and some success in flashing stock but it still leaves me with the 5second screen I've tried now to inject twrp in a stock image to then hopefully flash the remove 5 second screen g and u zip but I get stuck with an encrypted drive and needing to enter a password thus unable to put the zip on the phone to flash with twrp 3.2.3.0

because you didn't allow oem unlocking?

OEM unlocking allowed. I'm now back on Los 16 for the time being. OEM unlocking before greyer out saying my bootloader is already unlocked. It just will not lock and edl will not lock it either

There is a method by @raystef66 where u can "hide" this notification.

Yea I'm not that desperate to hide it no more. I flashed stock android 8 and couldn't get it to stop encrypting the data partition with twrp so I gave up. I'm back on Los 16 with a new battery and that will do.
I'm not going to buy a razer phone 2 this year so this axon will have to do. Just got to order a new speaker as my bottom loud speaker just doesn't work. The plastic cover and the springs arms are intact just nothing coming from it.
Cheers for the replies guys. Was thinking of trading the phone in at CEX here in the UK and then move to my dual Sim Samsung s7. But since the Axon defeated me I'll keep it for now and maybe get shot of the Samsung instead.

When I flash my 2017u back to stock 6.0 then update to 7.1.1 this screen on bootup is still present. I also cannot seem to get fastboot to work to lock the bootloader either.
Any help appreciated
Excuse the pic quality it's taken with my backup i9505 s4

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)

New problem...I have managed to flash b29 mm and lock the bootloader finally however 1, I have no SIM or WiFi working on setup screen so cannot set in motion otas. 2, I edl flash b15 N or B32 N or B20 O and none of them stuck. I just end up back at B29 MM Setup screen with a 02 Mac and no detected wifi

Ok the recovery says that it's on 6.0.1 and nothing changes ever. Tried flashing b15 N and nope still recovery says 6.0.1.
I tried updating via ADB and sdcard. Neither works. Two different updates also that I downloaded.
I did the factory reset, still same problem. No service on SIM and WiFi Mac is still 02:00:00 etc.
Just spent an hour on my driving break in my truck and nothing had worked.

Do you use Miflash for flash EDL firmware?

No I used axon 7 edl tool.
So today I tried and tried and gave up flashing b15 N. I had a go with b32 N instead. However after flashing I didn't select yes on the edl tool to reboot instead going for a cable unplug and forced reboot holding the power button. I tried to boot into recovery which yielded a double flash of the red led and then nothing else. Blank screen and no led. I tried rebooting again to recovery and voila. 7.1.1 recovery loaded.
Not taking a chance I factory resetted and now have a fully stock axon 7 with a locked bootloader.
Many thanks to those who helped me but I'm going to part with this phone and return to a Nexus 6p that needs a new battery and a dual SIM exynos s7 for my axon 7 lineage os replacement.
