Hi!
I have a A2107G and unlocked it, coming from B04.
Everything worked so far, but I have messed around with bootstack/modem and now I am struggling.
I flashed a new ROM with TWRP (different versions) and the ROM (doesn't matter which one) is stuck in booting animation.
What can I do to bring it back to life?
Also another question: After switching on, directly after the ZTE logo coming up, a black sceen with some infos coming up and stay there for 5 secs.
Is there a way to get rid of this

Do you have twrp? If yes, flash stock rom.

Yes, I have TWRP.
So i should flash a stock image and start over from scratch (with rooting, ...)
Is the posted screen normal?

Yes it is normal. It means you've unlocked bootloader.
Flash stock rom zip. There are some guides.

Heh. I don't know if there are flashable stock zips for the A2017G, the way I know of is flashing the stock recovery and using an official zip. But you shouldn't go back to stock if you want to use custom ROMs. Try this:
-Get an SD card, put
~ a custom ROM (RR, LOS,NucleaROM (i prefer NucleaROM, just sayin)),
~a Magisk 13.3 zip or SuperSU 2.82 zip,
~an OpenGApps zip (I use pico), arm64,
~a TWRP 3.1.1-0.img and
~A2017X Universal Bootloader and A2017G modem.
-Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik
-Install the Universal Bootloader, then the Modem, then the ROM and last the GApps and magisk/SuperSU
-If you had something important on the internal storage put it on the SD with the File manager under Advanced
-Go to Wipe -> Format data -> type Yes. This will get rid of the possible encryption from the stock ROM, but it will wipe your internal storage too.
-Reboot to system
You can use the 5 seconds screen to get to TWRP with the Volume buttons. Pretty handy I guess. There's a zip out there that gets rid of that screen, but you risk black-screening your phone with what seems to be no immediate fix (you'd be looking at an RMA)
So, after you use the phone and open TWRP again, you'll have an old version of it (3.0.1N-0 or sth). So go to Install, choose Install image, and select the TWRP 3.1.1-0.img on your SDcard. Then Reboot -> reboot to recovery and you can do whatever you want.

Hi!
Thanks for your help and the time you spent on my problem.
I have tried all that stuff already, but maybe not in exact that order. Will try it this evening.
In case i will be able to bring it back to life, I have 2 questions, pls:
1: You mentioned the 5sec-screen and a zip to get rid of it.
Where could I find it (not seen yet) and how do i get into fastboot, when I skip this screen?
2: When I setted up my Axon with a Custom Rom and SU and everything was working as it should do, I was not able to write to /system (or deleting something in system/apps)
How do I get rid of this restriction? I think I have found an instruction once, but I failed and afterwards my device was stuck in animation.
orry for bothering, but the Axon really drive me nuts. Never had such a hassle with my Nexus

I'm using Root Explorer and no problem. Be sure you allow to root permission

Can you just leave the 5 sec screen alone? You can kill your phone, and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do really.
If you're insistent, you can find it under Themes Apps and Mods, called "We remove the inscription that the bootloader is unlocked" made by NFound1.
And about the restriction to modify the system, connect your phone to a PC with ADB, fire up ADB and configure it (USB debugging, ADB over network if you have the option, permit the connection) and issue 'adb reboot disemmcwp' (disable emmc write protection, that is. Write it just like that or your phone will reboot and you will still have the protection active).
The phone has its difficulties and all but it's easy to work with once you get the hang of it. And, you know, your big cores don't just die all of a sudden, which is a good thing!

Tried exactly the steps you descriped, but no luck ---- still stuck in animation
Will try it tomorrow with Magist.
How can I go back to total stock.
Tried anything I found on xda, but no luck.
When I flash the ZTE B05 zip, I don't even get the boot animation.

I tired to flash a B5 an B5 bootstack with TWRP 3.1.1 -> not able to boot
Then i flashed, according to your guide, the stock recovery and now the device seems to be really bricked.
After the ZTE logo a lying robot appears for half a second and after that, the device is dead.
Can't boot into TWRP, can't use adb, EDL, ...
Ok, managed to get back TWRP.
But I really don't know how so solve my issue of how to come back to stock :crying:
Flashed a B05 stock (zip) and B05 bootstack and Magist....stuck in boot animation (AXON picture collage).

to go back to stock, download the full zip of any version you want, and download stock recvovery from b08, you have flashed it.
from twrp, format data, and try to boot, if you cannot, reflash b09 recovery from twrp, select image and the recovery you download, then go to stock recovery and update from sdcard. it allways work for me, if you stuck in boot animation again, reboot recovery and wipe data.
after you succesfully boot, reboot edl, and reflash twrp, the version you were using before witn axon7tool, thats all

Just follow my guide for that. If you flash the B04 recovery (the one i provided) you shouldn't have any trouble
Managed to flash the B05 and phone is up and running.
Made a backup by using TWRP 3.1.1.0 and flashed CarbonRom, which also worked nicely.
However, I'm not able to flash LOS by using the B05 bootstack.
I'm too dumb for this phone

What B05 bootstack? You have to use the universal bootstack and the A2017G modem file...
Both are on the LOS thread. It seems weird that carbonROM would even boot without the universal bootstack though
My rooted Axon 7 (A2017U) does not show the boot partition in TWRP when backing up or restoring a backup that previously showed the boot partition. Here is what I did prior to the problem:
1. Manually updated stock rom to B32 using DrakenFX procedures, which includes flashing bootstack. (I made a backup after the upgrade of boot, data, and system - as usual.)
2. When I restored AICP nandroid, boot was shown along with data and system. Phone operated normally, but would not flash OTA upgrade - error 7. (Attempted to flash a previous version that I had flashed before with the same error 7.)
3. Rather than unzipping the rom and deleting the asserts line, I flashed the universal boot image from LineageOS and was able to OTA without issue, but when I ran the TWRP backup, boot did not show and only system and data backed up.
4. Restored the stock nandroid, boot did not show.
My phone is operating normally, but I find it disconcerting to have made an unintended change and would appreciate any help in correcting my error.
Thanks in advance.
Hi have you fixed your problem or not?

No, still waiting for assistance.
Reflash TWRP. I had partitions missing and there was a weird version of TWRP installed for unknown reasons. Reflashing the latest TWRP fixed my problem.

That worked. Thank you very much. Weird how that happened.
Just as a matter of interest, I just did a clean install of AICP, which required installation of universal bootstack, and found that TWRP version had been replaced with an old version that did not show boot partition when doing nandroid. Reflashed current build image and boot file was visible.
Keep the latest .img on TWRP, and when you flash the universal bootstack, flash the TWRP .img after. I've asked over at the LOS thread if they could update the TWRP version on the bootstack and nobody answered lol
Should we use the one from twrps official website? I'm having the same issue but I can't remember changing my recovery.

You don't change your recovery, the universal bootstack zip does
It's the same whether you use the zip from TWRP's official website or raystef66's download center really
Hi, I was trying to flash a custom ROM via TWRP but failed and now it's showing no OS installed as I wiped everything. I also don't have a backup ROM to restore. I tried Odin but it doesn't detect my phone. So I need a backup ROM file of any N-9005 to restore it from TWRP.
Please help me.
What's your TWRP version?
Since Odin is not working for you, download this recovery image of TWRP 3.3.1-0:
https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img.html
Now copy it to your phone, extsdcard, or via OTG.
Go to Install, Locate recovery image you copied, min right, tap "Image", the file will show up, tap on it, select "Recovery", and complete the process.
Now reboot recovery.
Download any ROM you want (without aroma built-in), try havoc os:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...c-OS-v2.9-20191108-hlte-Official.zip/download
Copy and flash it normally.
My TWRP version is 2.8.7.0

Download 3.3.1-0 mentioned up there, copy to your phone, and flash the image to recovery partition.
It should upgrade when you reboot recovery again.
Then you can flash AOSP ROMs without a problem.
