The issue I am having is that I wanted to set my phone back to factory, after I relocked the bootloader my phone when booting(with or without the volume keys) would shut off right after showing the ZTE boot screen. Now when I connect it, it shows up as HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5)..
Ive been looking at these two forums similar to my problem:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/bricked-a2017u-t3573798
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/a2017g-totally-bricked-t3537990
I understand I should use the axon7tool(When I try "axon7tool -r boot" i get failed to connect) , but I dont know exactly what I am doing.. I apologize for me being so dumb about this but if someone could please spell out exactly what I would have to do, to get my phone back to factory settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
RECAP: Bootloader locked, shows up as HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM5), It did have TWRP.
EDIT: When trying MiFlash, I get a ERROR_BAD_FORMAT 0
I just did the exact same thing you did and had the same issue. What worked for me was downloading the factory image from ZTE, putting it on an SD card, going into stock recovery (vol up + power) and select apply update from sd card. The file you download from ZTE is double zipped, so make sure to extract the update.zip file from the parent zip before you put it on the SD card. It will be in a folder with the same parent zip name. I no longer can boot into bootloader from stock recovery (not sure if that's normal), but at least my phone works again. Here's the link.

Hope this helps.
EDIT: I also had TWRP when I locked my bootloader, so I'm assuming you're able to get to stock recovery with volume up + power.
Doesnt let me boot into anything.. Not sure how I screwed it up this badly. Im trying a MiFlash method right now to see if it helps
what happens when you hold down volume up and power button at the same time? you should feel a vibrate and when you let go, you should see the stock recovery.
No, Just shuts off after the ZTE logo pops up
The phone might still be on at that point. When the ZTE logo would pop up for a split second for me, MiFlash was able to see the phone. What happens when you just hold the power button for about 10 seconds right after the screen goes off? Does it stay off?
I believe you are right, when the logo isnt up(after it disappears) that is when it connects as the COM5 otherwise when the logo pops up it disconnects the resumes the cycle.
so if I hold it, it just keeps showing the ZTE logo then shutting off
Just to clarify, holding down both the volume up and power button simultaneously at the same time for at least 3-5 seconds after the phone is off (not after the screen goes blank after the ZTE logo) still gives the same result as if you just pressed the power button?
Yes.
If MiFlash can see the phone, maybe you can unlock the bootloader again?
exact same problem as you, except MiFlash successfully flashes B19 but it still doesn't boot
What you need is FLASH stock recovery in EDL Mode.
That will fix your problem..
P.S. as soon you boot your device after Flashing stock recovery ,will perform a factory reset.

You should download YOUR variant SDCARD UPDATE zip and flash using stock recovery.

"E:failed to map file, Installation Aborted"
I have not tried to flash a redownloaded version of B15 because I cannot move the file onto my sd card. I was able to flash a signed twrp on locked bootloader before to enable MTP, but whenever I flash a signed twrp now, I just get stuck on zte screen. Why is this phone so inconsistent?

I have tried to update to nougat but the camera didn't work even after restoring product_v3 on my l31. I tried to downgrade using the suggested oeminfo and b151 rom.
Now i just get the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted screen". At the bottom it says "Your device is booting now..." but it never boots.
I can't install anything via dload method as three button combo just boots to this screen. Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen... Can't boot to fastboot but thinking maybe that's because the phone won't actually switch off.
I've left it for ages and it's still stuck on the same screen.
Any ideas?
vns-l31 ? l21?
Disconnect the usb cable from the pc, turn off hisuite.
Reconnect the usb cable to the pc to see if it starts.
If it starts not to turn off.
Reset bootloader with fastboot or toolkit 0.0.0.8.
Started fastboot or toolkit0.0.0.8, plugged the usb cable and hold depressed volume - and power. He should go.
Code bootloader and twrp meticulus
L31 as I stated above and the phone is stuck on booting screen. Won't turn off and won't boot to fast boot I've already tried.

Thanks but that app just flashes partitions in fastboot. If I could get into fastboot I could flash partitions anyway

Have you tried volume down pressed whilst connecting to pc?
Yes of course but it just reboots to the same screen not the fastboot screen.

Sorry if it was a silly question to ask...went through all this myself earlier (except mine would power off...) but you said "Power and volume up same screen... Power and volume down same screen..." that's pretty much what mine did and I thought myself "why can't I get into fastboot", but power off and then [*without pressing power* vol down whilst connecting usb] worked.
If I restart my phone from the power menu and then immediately press vol down and connect to pc it boots to fastboot so it doesn't need to be powered off :good: but it does need to be connected to pc with the required drivers installed.
Finally got fastboot working and bootloader is unlocked but can't get anything to boot. Neither MM TWRP or Revolution TWRP will boot up.
Not sure where to go.
I've even tried extracting B151 and B161 and manually flashing boot recovery cust and system in fastboot but still no boot up...

Bootloader, twrpmeticulus, wipe, check all and wipe, install c432oeminfo.zip badwolf (see htcmania), turn off, restart with Dload b130,I read is b130 is best, b150, b160, b161. No matter it works all for me.
Strange thing is whenever i flash meticulous twrp it won't boot. I've tried through revolution recovery and by fastboot!
I can now actually get revolution twrp to boot but it doesn't mount system properly so won't flash anything at all.

Can be the end of the tutorial ultimate guide fo nougat
7.in recovery go to reboot-> reboot bootloader
8.flash stock nougat's recovery with fastboot
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQ...RYVXdKaU0/view (thanks to @algnerd )
9. reboot to recovery and do a factory reset (if you dont do that your phone will fall in a bootloop)
I think i've seriously messed it up now can't access anything again now just stuck at Your device is booting now... again after trying downgrade method again...
Yeah completely broken now no fastboot, no operating system, no recoveryand no dload. Just boots up to Your device has been unlocked etc and Your device is booting now...
Try to boot one more time to bootloader holding vol down and plugging usb without powering up phone. Then you need to flash twrp for nougat and flash oeminfo trough adb sideload. Do not reboot your phone after this, it won't start. Go back to and copy any app file (for example b160) then try to boot to bootloader and flash boot, recovery and system from nougat app file. Reboot phone holding all 3 buttons, it gonna take a while to boot and it should flash the system properly.
Literally can't get bootloader at all now all i get is the your device is booting now screen and nothingness...
Seriously messed up first phone i've ever bricked and i've been around android since my htc tattoo a LONG time ago
Made the mistake of paying for Phoenix DC as well but that's no use without bootloader mode so waste of 15 euros.
And now i get fastboot again but it says frp lock. DC Phoenix has flashed b151 and b161 but neither boots.
Dload method still fails...
So if now u can get to fastboot, u must unlock bootloader again (frp lock) flash twrp for nougat, copy app file to dload folder, flash oeminfo via adb sideload etc. Look at my previous post.
Send me a message, maybe i can help you..
After I installed the stock recovery I got from a thread around here, my phone won't boot. It's stuck at the yellow your phone cannot be trusted bla bla and says Your device is booting now...
I cannot use volume down + power to access fastboot, volume up + power to access recovery, neither both volume buttons to acces the update.img on my sd card, it just boots the logo and then the screen above.
Any ideas, or I should start preparations for a funeral?

Try use Dc Phoenix method- 1 first ... You will need to buy 15 € credits but it's better thanhave a bricked phone! if that doesnt Work, search for Dc Phoenix method- 2 . It will flash your phone for FACTORY FIRMWARE . After that i returned to DC Phoenix and apliyed B160 firmware through method 1 again.

I looked a bit at the tutorials for the two methods, both of them involve booting the phone into fastboot, a thing I cannot do. If I manage to boot into bootloader, I'll fix the phone myself. I just don't have any idea how to do it if the button combinations only restart the phone and do nothing.
you can't enter fastboot via ADB ?

Which version of firmware u used? Was there MM or N. If you didnt flash some custom rom method with dload on sd card full stock firmware in format update.app and three butons power+volume down+volume up for full recovery must work. If Oeminfo corrupted during some unapropriate flasing then try toolkit for p9 lite. You can find it in our section. Regards
Thanks for all the advice. I left the phone to discharge and completely shutdown by itself, when I powered it up the problem was solved, I even had the operatign system running.
Bullet dodged.
Hello everybody !
My A2017G displays the unlocked bootloader warning message, and then says that "Your device is corrupt [...] will poweroff in 30 seconds".
When the second message is displayed, if:
I hold power button, LOS15.1 starts properly and work well.
I hold power button + volume up, Recovery TWRP Nfound is launched.
So my question is: Is it the normal way to start the phone? Or something wrong during flash ?
What I have done:
I tried to flash my A2017G from LOS14.1 to LOS15.1, with some difficulties
I booted in (functional) TWRP, flash zip file of Oreo modem and universal bootloader, success
Always in TWRP, I flash TWRP NFound image. Try to reboot in the new recovery ... Problem occurs
Finally I found a way to go into recovery mode (read above) and format data, system ... and flash LOS15.1
I have access to fastboot, recovery and EDL mode.

I already know about warning message due to unlocked bootloader. After 5 seconds phone boots normally.
But in my case, after the warning, phone doesn't boot and displays "Your device is corrupted ..."
I can boot only if I press power button during the second warning.
If I try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, phone will never boot into recovery.

Ok thanks for your answer and explanation
Hey their. So i jsut bought a one plus 6t and started playing around iwth it. I tried to get twrp and i got it but when i rebooted to os i had no wifi. So i download magisk zip and flashed it. After this i got stuck in bootloop and so i wne to twrp and wiped everything except system. Then i rebooted and got this message Qualcomm CrashDump Mode Attempted to kill init! exit code=0x0000000b do_exit. Then i freaked out and accidently wipes system too. Now i think i have a complete brick as adb still works but i cant transfer any file from pc to phone because theirs no system. Please help!!!
Never wipe system and vendor on A/B devices, literally, never.
Boot twrp and flash OOS or use msmdownloadtool.
What do you mean flash OOS. Like flash a fastboot file? And what version of msmdownloadtool should I get as their is no system. Should I get 10 cause that was my last system or it doesn't matter.
Update. I left twrp after flashing a stock image and now adb doesn't recognize my phone. When booting into recovery I go into the one plus recovery. Now I'm really screwed.
Okay now im really screwed. Whenever I boot with power up or power down I get sent to the bootlaoder page that says fastboot mode products name. I cant leave this page however. On the options above the information I click reboot recovery I get sent back to this page.
UPDATE. My phone is a literal brick now. It won't even turn on. I tried to force reboot it before and after it powered off it wont turn on. Its fully charged and when connecting to charger of holding buttons nothing happens. I have no warranty so Im hoping that someone can help me.
The "bootloader page" is fastboot and that's normal because there's no system to boot, you wiped that partition... and ADB only recognizes the phone when the boot process ends and ADB is enabled in the phone.
If you press vol up + down when you connect the usb cable the phone boots in EDL (Emergency Download Mode) mode, long press power + vol up to leave that state.
Now, download msmdownloadtool from here, extract the file, power off you phone, conect the usb cable to your pc, press vol up + down and connect the usb cable to the phone, open msmdownloadtool and flash the OS.
Edit: Read this thread for more detailed instructions.
What do you mean by flash the OS. The OS in the system or do I have to download one?
whenever I plug in my device it vibrates and then goes into the fastboot page. Also adb can detect it if I type in fastboot devices.
So i go the device to work and MsM worked until 4 seconds and then It said param preload for status of connection and status of last communication says device not match image
Try with the fastboot ROM.
When i downloaded another version of MsM it did not say no image match instead it stays at 4sec and says recording download time
Can you give me instructions on how to use the fastboot room? Like after i download it what should i do with it?
Download the rom, unpack it, boot your phone in fastboot (Power + vol up + vol down), connect the phone to your pc and execute the "flash-all.bat" file, and just wait.
um what is flash-all... How does it work what am i supposed to do.
what does unpack it mean?
Hey their im going to assume you meant to unzip the file and then open the file called falsh-all.bash. In that case when i do that i get this message "error: failed to load 'images.zip': No such file or directory
Press any key to exit..." In a CMD window
Seems I found a way to semi brick my SM-T500. I was attempting to install the LOS 18.1 ROM just posted in the guide section. Some how I got the "can only install official" error message on my download screen after flashing TWRP. Made the mistake of flashing only the stock AP without BL or CSC and now I can't get into either recovery or download modes. Holding vol up and down and plugging in USB cable does nothing. Same with holding power button and either vol up or down. Blank screen. Can only power on and boot to system.
Did you install twrp and can you get into recovery. I had similar problem but was still able to get into download mode from power off. However to do so I had to boot into twrp and select reboot and power off... from that menu you can also boot directly to download mode... I know that doesnt halp much if you hadnt installed twrp yet... but thought I would throw that out there...

I can't boot TWRP or download. The only thing that will boot is system. Can't even get to the lock/unlock screen.
can you connect to adb shell? and try #reboot download
or #reboot twrp. I figure if you get to download you can reflash stock and start over.
Also when your trying to boot into recovery try not being plugged in. Not sure about this device but a lot of older Samsung's that I had would not let me get into recovery if I was plugged in during boot.
Locked oem mode
Locked download mode
Locked wipe factory
Locked update from sd card
Recycling item...
Need factory reset
I saw alot of issues with twrp so I tried Magick for first time ever on my SM-T500 and had a minor hiccup bc I wasn't paying attention to firmware and installed an old AP with newer firmware but ended up just reflashing the whole tablet with the same firmware as the AP that is required for Root and presto it worked! AND HEY IM DEF A NEWBIE!

Yeah I've run into the same thing, I originally missed the step to run Magisk after I flashed the patched tar and rebooted into the System and it triggered the "Prenormal KG state" problems. Finally I managed to flash stock ROM back and got to exactly where you are now.
I was able to just flash the patched Magisk AP without CSC and BL, and now it will only go to stock recovery and was able to get TWRP to work once but couldn't factory reset or wipe cache due to (which I assume was) a ton of mounting failures when it loaded.
Anyone else have suggestions to get this thing stable so I can flash LOS? I can get to Download mode.
hello, I post this because it's seems the same subject. I have to password protected (forget password) original rom tablet (non root). For me the datas are not important , I just want to remove the password or reflash with original rom. I downloaded Odin , usb driver and correct firmware. I select AP firmware with Odin, I see the connexion (COM3 green) and it's stuck to "setup connexion".
My problem is that it's impossible to enter in download mode.
When I try to shutdown the tablet, it ask me for a password.
When I press for seconds the power button , after few second I see the Samsung Logo and the tablet restarts.
I try to press volume up, volume up and volume down etc...but each combinaison...no recover, no download mode, nothing and impossible to flash . is it normal ? how to do to unsticked SetupConnetion ?
regards
bruno

This is not the same as my problem. My problem is that I flashed AP without BL and the two don't match. It isn't that things are locked but that I can't boot to anything but system. Can't boot recovery or download so I can't flash ANYTHING. Not even stock.
