A2017G bricked with Lineage OS and Twrp - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hullo,
I succesfully installed Lineage with no problems in the OS, but was unable to access TWRP as it asked for a decryption pattern that didn't seem to match the pattern I set on my phone. I then tried a password in the OS but this also didn't work in TWRP.
After checking the thread again, I found Unjustified had recommended the TWRP found in his bootloader, which I then downloaded and proceeded to install via fastboot. The installation appeared to go smoothly but after that I was unable to turn on my phone.
After pressing the power button I am presented with either the battery icon or the ZTE logo, which disspears after a few seconds followed by three flashing red lights. The last flashing light seems to be cut off part way.
I thought this might be a dead battery but even after charging for an extended period of time the result is the same.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Your phone doesn't seem to be bricked at all.
That was a known issue many G users encountered...
Just boot into TWRP by pressing Power and volume + or choosing it from the bootloader warning screen and reflash the universal B15 N bootloader.
Reboot your phone and from now on it should boot every N rom just fine :fingers-crossed:
Good luck,
Martin

I'm glad to hear it is quite common, but I should mention that the three lights persist when I try to load TWRP... I can only get as far as the ZTE logo.
The bootloader warning also hasn't shown since I attempted to flash TWRP as the phone appears to cut off after showing ZTE.
I will try an overnight charge in case the battery is completely empty and somehow slow charging. But any other suggestions are most welcome.
Kind regards,
James

You should try some button combinations like
Power + volume down
Power + volume down + volume up
And see how the device reacts
It helps connecting the device to a PC to look up in device manager to determine the mode its booted in

Thanks for the continued help.
I was just trying to connect it to the PC and appear to have made some headway, it started off showing up as qusb_bulk, but after repeatedly deleting that driver I returned to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM6).
As I understand axon7root *should be able to write to the device at this point.
Does this device name give any indication as to the problem?
I wonder if miflash could be used on a G model to unbrick it. I'm happy to restart from stock files.

As you are in EDL now you have some options.
First I would try to flash a recovery and boot image that is proven to be working fine e.g official twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/recovery-official-twrp-zte-axon-7-t3515715 or some A2017G stock boot.img
If that doesn't help you could get in contact with @jcadduono to be a tester for that miflash method. (As your device is already pretty badly bricked)
I don't exactly know how EDL flashing works if it depends on a exact GPT table or not.
But I can say that I flashed every single part of the A2017U bootloader except for NON-HLOS (modem) on my A2017G for each B29 and B15 and it worked just fine. So maybe we just have to exchange the modem file in the EDL package :silly:
If you don't want to take that risk you also could try sending it back to ZTE and hope they don't check the bootloader :fingers-crossed:
(Just a thought: Maybe if the EDL package won't work on your device it will be so heavily damaged ZTE can't check for bootloader unlock and accept it as a warranty case, but don't take that too seriously )

Martin

If you are not afraid then try to use my package for A2017G with MiFlash: https://mega.nz/#!88BjXKhA!TnVSobBw5PkmShSqZ-Ni8MCCbnhJP2SWRNvvXqYHSjc

I really appreciate all this advice!
Looks like the MiFlash is promising. I was able to load the phone into MiFlash from the [EDL] thread. I have just tried the A2017G package provided by djkuz and will report back with any updates.
Just got to the mifavor screen, charging the battery from empty, although quickcharge appears to be functional again.
The charging battery logo is different from before so appears that this bootstack has done the trick.
The flashing red light has gone now, appears to be loading Lineage as before! I'm so grateful for all this help
However, now the unlock pattern is coming up as 'wrong pattern'. Is there anything that can be done? My settings appear to be saved as before (wallpaper and quick settings are the same).
I will attempt to reinstall twrp recovery and fix the lockscreen over adb. Thanks very much for the help. The brick has gone!!

[GUIDE]ROOT/TWRP/MULTIROM/Cm13/RR on Locked Bootloader + Hardbrick Recovery

DO NOT FLASH HYDROGEN ROMS ON HELIUM, OR YOU GONNA HAVE A HARDBRICK.
IN CASE YOU HAVE ONE, HERE IS THE SOLUTION.
This was tested with Xiaomi Mi Max 128GB helium and localized rom from xiaomi eu.
I am not responsible for bricked devices or anything else. So at your own risk:
1. Install official MiPhone drivers
2. Download and install MiFash beta.
3. Download and unpack TWRP for miflash: 32gb or 64-128gb thanks @Abdess76.
4. Download ROM for your device, I recommend to try this one. You can install RR/CM Rom as well.
5. Run MiFlash with admin rights.
6. Turn off the phone, plug the cable to PC and halfway to the phone.
7. At the same time press Volume + and Volume - and plug in the cable.
8. Refresh MiFlash phone should show up. (If it didn't then make sure you did it right and u got drivers)
9. Navigate to your unpacked TWRP and flash it.
10. Now, boot ur phone with volume up. It's a bit slow. If it's stuck on miui logo, just release button and wait.
From here start to pay more attention:
11. TWRP can ask for password, press cancel and allow modifications by moving slider.
If you just need ROOT and your current rom, skip to the step 16. Also there is a recovery from boot in system folder. If you won't remove it, recovery may be replaced with stock one after reboot. Keep it that way if you want OTAs.
12. Format data.
13. Enable MTP and put modified zip in your phone.
14. Go to mounts and unmount system **
15. Flash your rom.
16. Flash latest supersu.
17. Reboot the phone.
In case u got NO OS message, then it means that u probably ignored step 15.
Also first boot may take like 15-20 minutes, since eu rom is deodexed.
Just to be sure, after installation mount system partition and navigate to the /system folder using TWRP's file manager and make sure it's not empty.
* In my case system didn't install because script could mount system partition since it was already mounted.
P.S. In order to update, you need to install OTA for offical rom via TWRP. Then without rebooting flash SuperSU, and finally using TWRP's file manager navigate to system folder and delete file named recovery from boot. Doing so will keep root and recovery.
Thank you so much for the guide! I will try it tonite
Waiting for boot loader is just too long..
WOW!!!! Just, wow..... I can not believe it but it worked like a charm. It took me forever to figure out my issue with the drivers, but after solving that I followed you step-by-step. And, lo and behold, it WORKED! Note for other users, Twrp took about a minute or two to finally boot up and it took me personally about 15-20 minutes before MIUI 8 finally booted. Just wait it out and you should have the amazing results that Doom Slayer has so graciously provided you
THANK YOU!!!!
I just done following your guide and it works!!
For rooting, I tried 2 times before it works. I believe you missed out a step to mount back system before flashing supersu.
So in the future, how do we dirty flash? Start from step 13?
How about clean flash? Start from step 12?
Thank you once again for this great guide!!
You saved me a lot of time waiting for Bootloader approval.

Yeah, dirty flash is you keep your data and format system and caches .
Clean flash is u format data as well.
The thing is that u have root, and ur phone is also secured. It's linked to ur Mi account, while it's locked. It's better to keep that way
Theoretically If you will ignore steps from 12 to 16. (Maybe u can ignore data formatting too)
Then you can get a ROOT and TWRP on your current rom.
And also theoretically while on miui 8 rom ,u can try to unlock bootloader without waiting.
Try this manual.
I have followed these steps and bricked my phone, spent the last 24h trying to recover it no luck.
I got an error while in the process of flashing the rom at step 16, then tried again and phone went black, stopped responding.
It's not detected using adb or fast boot, it appears in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", I have tried to flash again TWRP or the official ROM, it says success every time but the phone is still dead.
Could it be due to locked boot loader ?

Which rom did u flash, give the link please.
Are u sure it's for your version? It can be a broken file as well.
Does the device connects when u hold both volume buttons?
It's called emergency download mode, u can istall rom with miflasher.
There is a testpoint method also.
All u need is a pic from this post on http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=749580&st=700#entry51154086
U need to disconect battery, connect testpoint to battery and flash ur device with miflash.
After that let it charge, since this in your state phone consumes battery.
thanks for you answer, I flashed the MiMAXPRO EU ROM xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0.zip (sorry as a new user not allowed to post a link yet)
When I hold both volume buttons the screen is still black but MI Flasher works with COM10, after flashing a ROM or TWRP again MIFlash says "success" but the phone is still dead and won't start up even after holding power button for a long time.
I'm happy to open the phone and try the method on the russian forum, I will try tomorrow hope it will start up

Don't worry about your phone, the testpoint method will work for sure.
But in order to prevent this kind of situations ,we need to determine the reason how did it happen and you need to help me with that one by answering following questions:
1) You have mentioned that you had an error 1st time.
I also had error which was cache related, and it's OK because that partition was just formatted. You tried to flash again... but did you unmount your system partition for second time?
2) What's the capacity of your internal storage?
3) Did you use internal or external storage? If external then I need the model and the file system that have been used on that storage.

Hello,
I managed to recover the phone, I installed a fresh windows 7 on another PC with only MI Flash Beta installed, device appeared as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" as usual and I flashed the china ROM. Not sure why it wouldn't start previously after flashing, maybe issue with drivers.
1) unfortunately I don;t remember the syntax of the error, it was after a few seconds of flashing but the process seemed interrupted, I even googled it but my browser history has been purged.
2) 64GB (Helium)
3)I used internal storage, copied the zip on the phone using MTP.
Might try to go through the process again this weekend.

Well, I guess system was mounted and it gived u the error,but formatted it.
hi to all of you. I am very interested by this thread. Here is the story. I received my brand new mi max helium this week but it was the chinese rom. I am in France and my country did not appear in the settings. So I wanted to flash a global rom. I plugged it to my pc in recovery mode and a window appeared said that there is an update. I clicked ok and after a while I got stuck in the mi logo bootloop.
Then from then I tried everything possible from several solutions here, but nothing worked. What I got is the mi logo without bootloop, but nothing more.
I get the message that the bootloader is locked, but I can't get it unlock if it is in this state.
What I can reach is the recovery mode and the fastboot mode. But nothing else worked, flash or anything.
That is why I am interested to flash a recovery, in order to flash a clean rom, etc..
I did what you, Doom Slayer, explains, but I could not get a twrp flash. It ends with "receiving hello packet" in mi flash, and every thing stopped.
If I cannnot install any recovery, I cannot flash a rom.
So please if you have any suggestion, it would be helpful. Thanks a lot.

Did you disable drivers signature?
Also some people have a better luck on windows 7, u can try a virtual machine.
If you can enter EDL mode, then you should be fine.
Unless Chinese already disabled it in a new update.
I would blame drivers. Make sure u got them correctly.
Updated tutorial.
Uploaded TWRP for helium, so you don't need to edit updater script anymore, since script will get correct model.
Now you can try to get root on your current rom and unlock bootloader without Xiaomi's confirmation.
People having helium with unlocked bootloader may also have problems installing roms from xiaomi eu, if they have TWRP from hydrogen.
You may update using my recovery.img from archive using fastboot, or TWRP(will also work for locked bootloader).

hi Doom. Thank you for reply. But what do you mean by " disable drivers signature". I did not do anything but install the drivers and when I am on what I think is EDL mode(screen isi black) the driver is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008(COM20).
Anyway, I will give another try and let you know. Thank you again.

I followed your guide and I could get the twrp installed. So I tried to install rom(following your link). It said rebooting in 5 seconds, and then nothing. The screen is black, no power anymore, no logo, no vibes, and no life at all.
I cannot get any more reaction from it. I plugged it to my pc, but nothing is connected. I was so happy with twrp working... Any idea?...
one more information I don't know if it can help, when I flashed first, I tried the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAXPro_6.8.4_v8-6.0" and a message said "failed. This rom is for helium and this is hydrogen phone". Which is strange because mine is helium(4GB/128GB).
Then I tried with the "xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX_V7.5.6.0.MBCCNDE_v7-6.0" rom, and everything got ok, last message "success. The phone will reboot in 5 seconds", and from then, dead all over...

Looks like you installed hydrogen TWRP and that caused all your problems.
I've been very careful to install the helium twrp from this thread...

I can' get it to boot properly. Help me please!

A friend of mine gave me this phone after unexpected self shutdown. The phone was in a boot loop. At this point where I am right now I think I tried everything I can. I have read various guides and tutorials how to bring this phone back to life and nothing works for me. I suppose that there is some damage on mainboard but till I losse this phone I want to be sure. So the situation looks like this. Since the bootloader in locked and there is no working OS I am not able to unlock the bootloader. (If I am wrong here tell me please because I can't find a solution "how to unlock bootloader without having working OS"). The only metode to flash this phone in this state is to use QFIL. Flashing through fastboot fails everytime - booloader locked -> no *.img flashing. So I have 4 various versions of stock ROM for this phone and after flashing via QFIL the phone doesn't boot. It end with 3 possible ways. 1'st way - clasic bootloop. 2'nd way - frozen on loading screen. 3'rd way - black screen with blue LED, USB diagnostics state, 9006 port opened, no chance to flash because of closed QD port 9008. After this I have to erase every single one of the partitions made through flashing. Then I am able again to flash with QFIL.
I have no idea where is the problem here or what am I doing wrong. I tested the internal memory with a partitioning program in search of bad sectors -> 100% OK. Filled the whole memory with zero's and then formated it. It didn't help. Are every of my stock ROMs broken or is this phone realy damaged? Dear XDA community help me please! I have no clue what can I still try.

CM through QFIL already tried. Doesn't boot. I've got .zip ROM images but without TWRP no chance to use it. I have got also an image in .qsb file but no idea how to push it into the phone. Will it work through fastboot to put the file into the phone and than flash through diagnostic mode ?

Already tried your copy. To be honest tried it many times in every way I could. The phone is now sitting for over 3h frozen on loading screen. It is never going to boot or tell me that this is normal... Ereased the whole internal memory by delting every existing partition and then flashed it via QFIL. Also tried to format the whole memory in ext4. Same result. Like I said the phone is laying right now for over 3h on the same CYANOGEN screen with some graphical artifacts.

OMG This room booted normaly. Thank you some much my friend! You made my day. It is a step forward. However all connections aren't working. I can't find "OEM unlocking" under Developer Options. I want to unlock the Bootloader as soon as possible so I will be able to put TWRP recovery and then flash it with any available CustomROM

Many hours frozen on black screen with blue led. 9008 QD port blocked. 9006 USB Diagnostics port opened. No chance to flash until all partitions are erased and the port is reset. Otherwise I need to try getting to the 9008 port by puting the USB cable while holding the "Vol Up" button and then flash it agin with QFIL.

Right now thanks to Borja Viera I used the working OS to make a "sdfuse" folder on the internal memory, put the .qsb image file into the folder and flash the phone through diagnostic mode. I have got right now android 5.1.1 on it and it booted normaly However the connections still aren;t working. I managed to enable "OEM unlocking" then got to the fastboot mode with a bit of help from AIO tool (because turning the phone with pressed "Vol Up" and "Vol Down" buttons at the same time makes the menu but no "go to bootloader" shortcut over there). Unlocked the bootloader manualy with minimal ADB. Then I wasn't able to put TWRP as the recovery because of some weird error comming every time I tried the command. So I flashed the phone once again back to CM 12.1 soft only to get other "the better one - with many options" bootloader. Tried flashig TWRP once again and voila! TWRP working!! Bootloader unlocked! In a while I will be downloading some CustomROM and turn this phone back to life... I hope so
[UPDATE]
Tried 5 different ROMs:
Two Cyanogen:
1'st - black screen blue led usb diagnostics state with port 9006 opened
2'nd - frozen on loading screen
Three CustomROMs:
1'st Official Lineage
2'nd Unofficial Lineage
3'rd AICP-12.1
All three are not booting. Phone resets itself on loading screen -> boot loop. Do you have any sugestion right now? In TWRP everything wiped and ROM installed on clean phone. Gapps installed too from Open Gapps website. Eveything done right with the instructions.
Is this phone really damaged?

Right now thanks to Borja Viera I used the working OS to make a "sdfuse" folder on the internal memory, put the .qsb image file into the folder and flash the phone through diagnostic mode. I have got right now android 5.1.1 on it and it booted normaly However the connections still aren;t working. I managed to enable "OEM unlocking" then got to the fastboot mode with a bit of help from AIO tool (because turning the phone with pressed "Vol Up" and "Vol Down" buttons at the same time makes the menu but no "go to bootloader" shortcut over there). Unlocked the bootloader manualy with minimal ADB. Then I wasn't able to put TWRP as the recovery because of some weird error comming every time I tried the command. So I flashed the phone once again back to CM 12.1 soft only to get other "the better one - with many options" bootloader. Tried flashig TWRP once again and voila! TWRP working!! Bootloader unlocked! In a while I will be downloading some CustomROM and turn this phone back to life... I hope so
[UPDATE]
Tried 5 different ROMs:
Two Cyanogen:
1'st - black screen blue led usb diagnostics state with port 9006 opened
2'nd - frozen on loading screen
Three CustomROMs:
1'st Official Lineage
2'nd Unofficial Lineage
3'rd AICP-12.1
All three are not booting. Phone resets itself on loading screen -> boot loop. Do you have any sugestion right now? In TWRP everything wiped and ROM installed on clean phone. Gapps installed too from Open Gapps website. Eveything done right with the instructions.
Is this phone really damaged?

If you're still in warranty, the best bet will be to get it replaced. Because it seems like a serious issue in the hardware.

Asked my firend about it. The phone is like 1 month old. He was making some pictures and the phone suddenly died and got to boot loop. He bought it new on ebay. Shipped from China. He already made some research about the warranty before he gave it to me. He made some calls and emails to customer service here in Germany and they told him that he has to send the phone back to China. No warranty in Germany. It is not worth to send it back to China because of duty tax on the way to China. They send him this phone on some special shipping method to avoid this taxes and stay with profitable shipping price. But if you need to send it back they won;t help you at all. And the dispatch price is a no-go.
Since I have decent experience with electronics and flashing various smartphones he gave it to me with a though that I will be able to bring it back to life.
I already said when I started this topic that I suppose that this phone has some damage on the mainboard because of the weird behaviour. I just want to be sure about that and try everything I can before I tell him that he wasted his money by buying this phone.
I want to thank you for your support! If you have some ideas what could I still try I will gladly listen.

Non Hacked/Rooted 6p Shut Off And Will Not Turn On

bought this phone used and I don't think it was rooted but never checked, confirmed. Last night it turned off and will not turn on anymore..
Tried the pwr button for several minutes and no change. Plugged it in with several different cables and no change.
Any other suggestions or options? USB to computer detects something but says it can't install the driver.
Any ideas?

Can you enter to the bootloader menu? Maybe you can enter recovery and wipe the cache and dalvik

negative, either the phone is totally dead or the screen is dead but NOTHING happens when pwr is pressed
here is what I have tried:
1. Press and hold PWR button for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
2. Press and hold volume DOWN + Pwr for over 3minutes
- Plugged in and unplugged into ac - no change
3. Plugged into different a/c power outlets with 2 different chargers - no change
NOT sure what else to try or do?
Funny thing is if ya plug into a computer it does indeed detect "something'
However it says it can't load the USB drivers something about QU_***
Open to any ideas and suggestions.. WHILE I would love to get the phone working whats more high priority for me now is the 20gb's of pics that apparently did NOT back up.

Funny thing is- that "something" is the solution to your problem. Capture the error message completely and search the 6P forums for that. Several threads on the "something" issue.

fixed that issue, aka QHSUSB_BULK is now working properly according to Device Manager.. but Nexus 6P is not detected, and doesn't even show up in Disk Management either.
Any other ideas?

If you found the right EDL_9008 thread, there is Qualcomm software to download for your PC. If your phone is in the right downloader mode you can use the PC software with a special recovery.img. I don't know anything about it, just read through the threads long ago. It's a mixed bag with some success stories, some not. Keep looking though, I think you are on the right track. The original poster was "Tenfar" if I recall correctly. Good luck.
Try cleaning out the charging port.
Hi there,
I think we are in the same/similar boat. My phone shut off while using it (screen froze, then went black) and seems to have bricked itself. I *am* able to get mine to turn on, but only about once per day after it has been left plugged in for a few hours (although there is no indication it is charging while plugged in - never gets warm, no lights, etc.) I can get into recovery if I am lucky (usually get to the android bot laying on its back, then PWR+VOLUP just causes the phone to shut off instead of actually getting into recovery menu.) I've been able to clear cache/factory wipe from recovery menu with no luck. I never did unlock the bootloader so I am unable to use fastboot to do anything. I tried to flash a few OTA (full and incremental) images using adb when I am able to get into recovery, but they always failed in one way or another.
I've been trying the methods described in the 'tenfar' threads - using the xiaomi flasher and QPST tools. The xiaomi tool always fails for me. I have been able to get the QFIL tool to successfully 'download' about 3 times now, with tenfar's recovery images. However, after the success message, the phone doesn't do anything (I read in other threads it should reboot itself) - and after unplugging, the behavior of the device seems to be the same - just stuck and won't turn on at all.
Right now I think I am stuck in 'EDL' mode where the only evidence that the device isn't completely dead is that it shows up in device manager as 'Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)', and the factory imager tools do recognize it.
It *seems* like the only way forward is to somehow get one of these factory tools to flash the right set of files onto the device - I've tried a few now with no luck. I even tried extracting the relevant *.img files out of the google factory image download and replacing tenfar's image files with them. I was able to load those onto the device with QFIL. This morning my attempt at turning on the device has me stuck on the white google logo, which is new behavior for me - usually it shows the logo for ~5-10 seconds then the device powers off. I've left it on for a while stuck on the white google image, but I'm not sure if I'm doing anything useful here.
Here are my reference threads:
tenfar's 'debrick' thread
QFIL thread
If anyone has any crazy ideas, I am open to try them. Thank you.
Maybe disable big cores?

I have the 100% same issue. Screen froze,then went black and now its stuck in EDL mode. I need my data. Recovery access or anything else would be fine/enough for me. I have had LineageOS and TWRP on the device. With TWRP i can access my data.
How have you got your device on? Mine dont start once a day or so. Its always in EDL mode ( 9008 ).

Sorry bud - I never was able to get any further than when I posted this. I eventually gave up, got a full out of warranty refund through my CC after the manufacturer wouldn't help me at all, and upgraded to a Pixel XL. I still do have the device, I should try to boot it up again . I didn't have any data concerns on my device so I was able to give up... good luck!

[SOLVED] A2017G Hard brick, Unauthroized ADB and DFU Only.

Hey guys,
Guess today it was my turn ****ing up.
I apparently have completely bricked my Axon 7 after trying to go from LOS 15.1 to stock oreo beta. The only thing I seem to be able to boot to is DFU mode and for some reason, if I press the Power button + Vol Down I will get stuck on the ZTE Logo and my PC will detect my phone through the ADB interface but every time I try doing something it says my device is unauthorized. Is there any way I can authorize the device whilst being completely bricked?
The only other thing I get is the unlocked bootloader warning screen. If I don't press anything the phone will be stuck there, if I select recovery the phone will simply shut down and anything else will result in a reboot. I have also tried a deep flash cable that that only results on the phone being stuck at the unlocked bootloader screen.
I cannot access the bootloader,
I cannot access EDL mode
I can access ADB, but device shows as unauthorized.
I can access DFU mode.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have looked at the Hard brick guide that involves taking the phone apart but that's not something I really want to do.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: My phone gets detected by MiFlash but every time I try flashing I get a cannot receive hello packet and object reference not set to an instance of an object.
ZTE axon 7 EDL tool detects it in ADB mode but says ERROR! NO ANSWER FROM PHONE!. Possibly since its not authorized with ADB.
Ouh....DFU? I think this thing is totally bricked.
I can access my phone in ADB. If only I could make it reboot to edl or something like that through ADB even though my device shows as unauthorized. That is the only problem why this thing is completely messed up.. ADB works but I can't do anything with it because my phone shows unauthorized. Does anyone know if there's a workround or a bypass for that?

Hi Victor !
Like we discussed before there is nothing much left as to use the DFU unbrick-disassemble guide or buy something like this to be sure you tried everything.
Good Luck mate !

Thank you for your help . It's a risk you take when flashing phones.
Can you get custom recovery in it some recovery allow you to get in to EDM from there you can flash stock rom with Mi flash tool.......try to push both volume buttons at the same time don't touch the power button this might get you in to EDM.

Nothing, you'll have to use my guide for that (the one that raystef linked). Otherwise try entering FTM mode (Power and Vol-) but it's surely not gonna work. If it does, you'll see a screen with a square that says "FTM", and you'll be able to do " adb reboot edl" and flash stuff from there.
Unbricking by disassembing the phone is the most reliable method; an EDL cable just might save you the hassle but it's not guaranteed to work; some phones won't accept it for some reason. In this case just follow the guide unless you want to try your luck with an EDL cable

Hello. Thank you for your advices, it is as I feared.
I have however already bought another Axon 7 which I'm using at the moment, and I have plans for mine since it was only bought new about 8 months ago and I believe I could get a replacement for a fee even if its bricked to fault of my own. So I will try that since I'm not in a rush.
This thread can be closed.
Cheers!

In that case you can just pretend that the phone got in that state by itself, it's not too morally correct but some people here pulled it off...
twice now i have gotten an axon 7 into this state. while mine have been a2017u models, i dont know that they are different than yours in that regard.
What worked for me the first time was letting the phone completely die. Being unable to boot into anything, it was somewhat a task to actually make it die, so i kept powering it on (which merely made the red led indicator come on). i did this over and over again over the course of a day at work whenever i noticed it had powered off.
eventually, the phone had no response at all. then, i plugged it up to my laptop, and left it, convinced i had killed it. a dialogue popped up after a minute or two on the phone screen saying to charge the phone by plugging it up. i had no access to fastboot or EDL mode prior. once i got that 'plug in to charge' screen, i switched it to the wall charger, and left it to charge a bit (50-60%) from that state, then, i unplugged it again, and somehow, i managed to get edl mode to work by unplugging it and pressing all three buttons and holding them (typical edl boot).
once there, i reflashed via MiFlash an earlier build. i rolled back using MiFlash as far back as i could. in the process, i lost my imei and serial, which i have yet to successfully recover, but i did get out of DFU pergatory. the imei thing seems to be caused by going back to MM which i did on both of my IMEI-less a2017u boards, but im only guessing. my dd axon 7 is the only one of the three boards with imei and serial, so maybe MM is a bad idea. lol.
The first time i recovered from DFU, i did it inadvertently by letting the phone die and then flashing in EDL mode as well. (i left it for a few weeks as i had given up on it.) after it died completely, and i plugged ut up to the computer and had the same experience, I flashed the beta oreo build for a2017 using miflash. the screen had stopped responding. and i ended up doing a RMA. I now know the screen response thing was bc of a faulty EDL file of B15. (happened again to another of my axon, so i retraced my steps and realized it was when i flashed b15 that it died) . the fix if your screen ever stops responding, but isnt physically damaged? re-flash via EDL a different file. it may take a few tries, but eventually a build will work. for me, it was Marshmallow. I still do not know for certain, but that possibly is what killed my IMEI. but hey, it boots and the screen works.
I genuinely hope posting my idiocy in toying with axon 7s has helped someone out there.

Stuck in rescue mode after tried flashing stock firmware

Good evening! I hope you can help me.
I flashed LineageOS 14.1, but I wanted to go back to EMUI. I made all the wipes and tried to flash different stock firmwares through a forced update (volume buttons + power button), but it never worked. At that point, I read about a guy in this forum who suggested to create a flashable zip with Huawei Update Extractor: I followed the suggestion and tried to flash it with TWRP. No error was given, but when I tried to restart, TWRP told me I had no OS installed. I thought it was strange, so I tried to restart anyway. That's when I got in rescue mode. I can't get into the recovery and I can't use fastboot. What rescue mode shows me is:
RESCUE MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Update User Guide:
*link*
*android avatar*
Error!
Func NO: 10 (boot image)
Error NO: 2 (load failed!)
Pressing the three buttons, I'm able to force an update. The problem is I can't find a firmware that doesn't get rejected. With Lollipop firmwares, it starts to install, but it fails at 12%. With Marshmallow ones, the installation process doesn't even start.
What can I do to make it work again? I'm very sad because this phone was gifted to me a couple of days ago and I already messed it up. I don't even know how to turn it off.
What can I do to get in fastboot mode? At that point, what should I do to flash the stock firmware? Or maybe do I need to find the first stock firmware ever installed into this phone to make the forced update work?
Please, I need help. Thank you in advance!
P.S. The phone's model is ALE-L21. I live in Italy, so I assume it's a European version.

Not yet, but I'm working on it. I found out that the device is recognized by my PC if I follow these steps:
1. Connect the phone to the PC and wait for it to go in rescue mode;
2. Wait until the notification LED stops to blink;
3. Disconnect the USB cable;
4. Press volume - and power button;
5. Reconnect the cable.
At that point, the screen turns black and the phone is recognized as "㄰㌲㔴㜶㤸". I installed the drivers and now it's recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I should be able to reflash the partitions and make my phone work again, but I'm still trying to understand how to do it correctly.
Any help is appreciated!

fastboot detects your device when you plug it into your computer?
I mean, if you run "fastboot devices" it shows your phone?
I've had this same problem but with an P8 Lite 2017, after flashing some ROM that supposedly was the stock one and trying to flash recovery I ended up with my phone bootlooping into rescue mode, I was able to "bypass" this thing rebooting my phone like crazy, seriously like after 20 reboot it finally booted into the damn ROM and I never touched the phone again. Sometimes when the phone ran out of battery and tried to power it on the phone booted into rescue mode and again after some reboots it booted to Android but now I want to install a custom ROM or at the very least root this damn phone so that's why I'm asking you if you have solved this, if you do then probably if I follow the same steps I would be able to fix that screen, hopefully.
If you are able to flash something start with flashing all recoveries your update.app has, maybe that's the problem (at least in my phone it is).

No, it doesn't show anything if I write that command...
I guess mine won't ever boot into the rom because it seems like there's no system installed. I made some researches and found out there are some softwares that let you reflash the partitions IF the phone is recognized as "HUAWEI USB COM 1.0". I'm still trying to figure out how to do it correctly though. I feel like if I do something wrong, then my phone won't probably turn on again.
In your case, you should be able to flash a custom rom without any issue. You just have to be very careful and inform you as much as you can: I don't want your phone to end up like mine?. Anyway, it seems pretty hard to go back to the stock rom, so think about it before you flash a custom rom. Also, make a Nandroid Backup is very important.
