How do you unlock A2017u bootloader? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I just bought my axon 7 and it came in today. I saw a week or 2 ago a post about unlocking the bootloader on B20 but I can't find it anywhere. Someone please help

First of all you need TWRP and then you can unlock your bootloader with this .

I don't have an sd car with me atm. Is there another way?
Also would you recommend rooting B27 instead?

You could flash the unlock file from your internal storage, but you lose your backup because the storage will be wiped after unlocking.
I'm having a hard time to get B27 working on my Axon, so i cant say anything to this. Maybe it is better to update first to B27.

The root and the twrp worked grwat for two days - then something died in my phone. I sent it back to ZTE and they determined the best course of action was to replace it (fully covered RMA job). Since they decided to replace it I guess the problem with my phone wasn't software so I seriously doubt tenfar's root solution was to blame.

Oh yes, rooted my desire eye and flashed a couple roms.
ok - if you have any questions after reading the instructions the best advise I can give you is to wait. ZTE states they are currently working on posting the A2017U full factory images online. That is supposed to be the failsafe - if something goes wrong you flash that. If things seem straight forward to you then go for it. Lots of people have used it successfully - it worked great for me until I had hardware failure, and I doubt tenfar's root caused it
Its worked like magic, Tenfars Root. With DrakenFX and Unjustified DEV Unlocked sources, super. Oh hell yeah i rooted and Unlocked my Device Axon ZTE 7 A2017 China Model with 6GB through this ways!!! TWRP, TITANIUM BACKUP are so much working well. l'm very proud of you guys. Keep it up guys. Thank you all so much. I used this magic in my Monster Axon ZTE 7 China Model 6GB RAM 128 GB intern disc. It's goes too with SanDisk either 200GB or 256 GB Extern Disc. I'm using 200GB SanDisk right now.
Unable to enter EDL via keys (not Tenfar's fault!)
Yes, I rooted without problems following this guide

Just be careful. I got problem with data encrypted when booting to TWRP, but you can flash XPOSED from flashfire.

Unlock bootloader and ZTE Updates

Hi,
I am waiting for my axon 7.
In the meantime, I would like to understand if I can unlock the bootloader, get the root, but have also the update released by ZTE.
If I have the ensure that I can update my phone, also with an unlocked bootloader, I perform the procedure the first day that the phone arrived at my location.
You know if there is a safe way?
Regards and thanks,
youngz

Get OTA Updates with unlocked bootloader is possible, but with root it isn't.

Is it because the update "delete" the root access? Or something else?
If it is the delete of the root access, I think that i can re-root the phone after the update (I have an unlocked bootloader with TWMP installed, so I can re-install Supersu or similar). Is it correct?
Yes you can. I did with the help of @DrakenFX information he posted.

Not 100% accurate. You Can still get OTAs on rooted devices, you just need to rollback Root for the update

It's because root and apps that use root make changes to partitions (such as boot and system), and when the update checks those partitions, it sees that something has changed and will not apply.

What I did was download the b20_boot image, unlocked the bootloader and such. However @DrakenFX has newer ways of doing it.
You can find it HERE
This looks a lot less intrusive than what I had to go through.
I commit a mistake, i forget that my version is the european version.
Now I have installed the b02 version. Can I unlock the bootloader? If I can not, you suggest to update the smatphone?

At the moment, there is no official bootloader unlock method for the A2017G. However, one is coming. Report to @rikin93 post here about that.
There is the unofficial way posted by @DrakenFX and showed to you by @swehes that's reported to work with the European version but since an official way is coming in the near future i would wait, it's not like unlocking now would provide anything at the moment.
About updating, it seems like a safe option to do so. It seems that @DrakenFX way of unlocking is working on both B02 and B03 anyway if ZTE ever wanted to not unlock the bootloader even tough they said they would.

Rollback to mm from NRD90m test-keys HELP

How i can downgrade NRD90m test-keys to L21C432b160 mm with a rollback package ? i tried to put in dload folder but doesent work, i have no root,bootloader is lock(because huawei refuse to give the unlock key), no custom recovery. i want to downgrade because a lot of app is missing , and i want official when they relese it. Thanks and sorry for bad english!
was this updated through official methods?
i have the nrd90-test keys build and i have not managed to find a working image for the DLOAD folder. im also not sure if you can downgrade that easy there is a spanish forum that is oftne linked here with a downgrade guide but you 100% need unlocked bootloader to do that.

No i updated trough Charles app with fake ip adress. I tried to unlock bootloader but Huawei doesent want to give me unlock key because warranty,they sended me a mail.
MANY, MANY people warn about not using that method (even me) because it doesn't let you update correctly, why d'you do that? Now without an unlocked bootloader you can't even go back. Can't do anything, actually. Because to go back to MM you need it unlocked. Any other method doesn't work. Just try to obtain the bootloader code, in the meantime you can't do anything but wait. Maybe next time read other people's experiences before trying to mod your device?
I Think You were using wrong update.app . Tell me your modle number & region . I will give update.app. You can easily rollback with it

Hi, I'm currently running in android 7.0, I done the unofficial update and as it happened to everyone I don't have all the apps, I have unlocked. Bootloader, I live in UK and my model number is VNS-L31, if you give the right "update.app" file and I put it In a folder called dloader that I will make then press [+vol]+[-vol]+[power] it will downgrade to the normal update and it will be the same like when I bought it?

Try dc phoenix. To load a mm update.app. Should work even with locked boot loader or if you brick the phone. I had a similar thing happen with an it's update, I think its because I had root and redo installed.
i ended up sending the device to huawei vip service, they replaced the motherboard. i was kind of surprised, i had expected them to just reflash stock firmware but no.

Amazon Nokia 6 and Oreo root

Im thinking of getting the Nokia 6 from amazon but the model they sell isnt listed and the rooting guides I find require the phone model number.
Anyone else purchase from amazon and if so what model is the one they sell?

As far as I know, the ta 1025 is basically the same as ta 1021. The recovery is in the [RECOVERY] TWRP 3.2 (and a sneak peak...) Thread here in the forums. You have to look for the image with 64bit on the filename, it lays in a MEGA link. Sorry for not linking but I am on mobile now and don't have that much time. I'll link it later.

Unfortunately not, because it is commercial software.
You can use the OST LA to reflash it to TA-1025.
And follow this guide to root your phone:

Well its a long process I used a post called convert global to Chinese ROM nokia 6 and I followed the instructions.then I proceeded to buy a bootloader unlock key and did the note you must click on edit phone information in OST before attempting the unlock as it needs the service permissions then just use fastboot with latest adb platform tools .i used the dm-verity commands to allow partition flashing and the critical commands for bootloader flashing and I flashed the unlock bin file.Im using the Chinese ROM as it has more features and NFC you'd have to sideload the play store but it works.also wouldn't hurt to check the forums for the other commands.the official recovery on twrp.me works flawlessly.also make sure you battery is at the least 50% charged anything below 15%charge ost will refuse to flash

Please help me to rollback my oneplus 6t to Pie froma stable Android 10

Please i need an help. I am on Android 10 stable with my Oneplus 6t, but i prefer android Pie. Please can you help me to rollback? Very thanks
you will need to unlock the bootloader and use the aio tool from somewhere on the one plus fourms. allow oem unlock in dev options. note in the process you will be formatting the internal storage
