What happens...? - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

... if you flash from the SD the stock firmware (full) of the same version you have already installed in a bootloader unlocked axon 7?
Relocks?
Thank you in advance

No, the bootloader will not automatically relock after you flash a full rom. But you need to reflash aboot to skip the bootloader unlocked message at bootup.

Can i unlock bootloader without rooting?

I am trying to change my Note 3 (SM-N900K) firmware but first when i try to flash the recovery after the flashing the recovery did not change what should i do?
Thank you
You must unlock the bootloader first!
are there any other application or an easier way to unlock bootloader without rooting?
I am not familiar with the n900k but using an app to unlock the bootloader if the bootloader is not locked will probably brick the phone.
Are you booting right into the custom recovery as soon as you flash it? If you flash recovery and just reboot to the rom, the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery.

Stock recovery (from TWRP) for A2017

Hi guys,
I'm just finalising restoring an A2017 (China) to stock for warranty exchange.
I have gone back to stock OS, locked bootloader but I still have the TWRP recovery.
I believe all I need to do is flash a stock recovery.img though TWRP and voila I should be finished, but I can't find a download link that definitely points me to what I should use.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
EDIT - Actually wait a minute can I just install full A2017 factory OTA update through MiFavor stock OS which I believe contains recovery, does that mean that everything goes back to stock (including recovery)?

EDIT2 - When I try to install the A2017 B13 update.zip through MiFavor it says update failed. Should I install it through TWRP?
EDIT3 - Refused to update the whole image (update.zip) through MiFavor within the ZTE OS. I flashed the default recovery.img through fastboot, then I used the MiFavor recovery (not in OS) to manually flash the full image.
Anyway, got it to stock!
Where did you got the recovery.img?

In the link from my post above. Download the original stock ROM you want, unzip, one of the files is the recovery.img. FYI I had A2017 B11, installed B13 recovery.img and it worked fine.
I tried to flash recovery.img but it says: FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
What do I do? I'm on B13 stock with locked bootloader. I want to get rid of TWRP and back to stock recovery so I can get OTA updates again.

The first step in flashing anything is to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, root, custom ROM etc. The inverse is the same. You are trying to flash an image to the recovery partition with a locked bootloader, which isn't going to work. I'd suspect you need to unlock your bootloader again, flash the stock recovery from the B13 stock image, and re-lock the bootloader. I am fairly new to the Axon 7 but I would consider yourself lucky if your bootloader is in fact locked. Typically locking the bootloader with anything but stock recovery is messy...

You usually end up with a DFU brick, sometimes only with fastboot. Very messy
There are flashable recovery zips for the A2017G, maybe @tron1 can make you one?

relock bootloader

Hi,
Can I relock my bootloader while TWRP is installed? I want to get OTA updates back as I am not getting them because of the unlocked bootloader..
To relock the bootloader you have to flash the oeminfo.zip or use the dload method to install stock ROM
