fastboot flashable boot.img - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hi !
I might have erased the boot partion. I still got the unlocked bootloader screen, and can still get in fastboot, but that's it. I can't boot in TWRP. I've tried to flash the boot.img from the stock zip, but it doesn't work... anyway to fix this ? It's the A2017G model. All i need is to get into TWRP.

you can try getting into EDL and using MiFlash to flash one of the zips on the Russian page 4pda. Go to the debrick page (the one with the phone carnage pictures inside), find the links for the chinese full recovery package. it will get you to the 4pda page. from there find a package that suits your needs (there is one with aboot and fbop) and flaah with MiFlash
Otherwise download the full B10 recovery package and flash it with MiFlash. you won't lose data but it might conflict if you were on Nougat

I'm in this situation for some days...
No EDL, No recovery, only fastboot and FTU modes are accessible.
And we can't flash via Miflash. It sees the phone only in fastboot mode, and can't flash it.
 @op : 2 ways to recover :
- Test points method to force EDL and flash via miflash
- Return to ZTE
If any1 has other solutions ...
FYI : My tests so far :
- Flash boot / reboot / flash recovery : Stuck on ZTE logo, red led on permanently
- Hot load recovery (fastboot boot twrp.img): Command unknown
- Format userdata/cache : No work
- Flash via Miflash in fastboot : "Can't find Eraseall except Data.bat"
- Change drivers by some others one : No luck

I don't know what you mean with FTU mode, but if FTM is meant you should be able to send a "reboot edl" command to activate the EDL mode.

Humm ... Early morning for me ... i meant DFU. Vol+ & - while powering the phone Result on a black screen, and driver is recognized as Handset Diagnostic Driver (DFU COm port x)
Ind in that kind of brick, FTM is not accessible either.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. If you get ZTE handset diagnostic driver on Ports COM&LPT you'll have to take your device apart and use the test point. If it is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 it means that you're on EDL. I'd reccomend trying to use miflash like i described, if it doesn't work return it or take it apart

Maybe a bit late for a reply, but I was able to get out of a similar situation (from DFU) by holding power and volume down for a long time. That got me to FTM and then I could reboot into edl via "adb reboot edl". Then I used the Axon7toolkit to flash fastboot and from there I could get to twrp and back in business. Any questions, let me know.

@Piet : How long for the PWR+DWN ? I've tried for something like 40/45 seconds, without success.

From what I read you have to let the device discharge totally, then you can get ftm. I had my battery fully charged when i bricked so i just did the 4th categ unbricking process

Flash universal bootloader and the modem for A2017 from the lineage os thread. Then you should get radio signal again.
I don't know how to do It Can you give me more information please?

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have TWRP? If you do, go to the LineageOS thread (located over 'ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries') and download the 'A2017X Universal Bootloader' and 'A2017 Modem' from there (there should be a link to androidfilehost where the universal bootloader and modem files are located). Be sure that you download the A2017 modem file (NOT the A2017G or A2017U one!).
After that simply put them on your phone and flash them via TWRP

Are you sure you got Qualcomm drivers installed and your phone is in 9008 mode? Also try rebooting and re-enter 9008 mode. But the biggest problem that there is no qfil restoration files for x722 if I remember correctly, chances to boot with x720 ones are quite low.
Does your fastboot work volume and power down same time??

worked on the phone i got off amazon. thanks!
[quote name="wpbear" post=71566961]This works on lastest USA update Stock (21s).
Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer
Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device
Put emmc_appsboot.mbn from this zip (Download: x727-5.8.019s_bootloader-unlock.zip) in your adb directory on your PC
Put twrp.img from this zip (Download: TWRP) in your adb directory on your PC
On PC open admin CMD prompt
go into fastboot mode on phone (hold power and VOL -)
on PC type:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
after flash force reboot using Power button. It will ask for a password, just ignore it and reboot back to fastboot by forcing power down then reboot to fastboot (hold power and VOL -)
on PC type:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
boot into twrp (force power down, then hold POWER and VOL +)
TWRP will boot, choose modify system. Choose wipe - then swipe to factory reset, when that is done - then advacned then format data
In TWRP ensure MTP is enabled. In Windows File Explorer the phone should be visibile. Drag and Drop your new ROM.zip, gapps.zip, SU.zip etc...
In TWRP INSTALL new ROM and other zips; choose wipe/dalvik/cache
If you unlock bootloader push power off until it goes off then put it back into fastboot flash twrp .img them power off again power on when phone vibrate volume down you see stock recovery then twrp.
Reboot System.
DONE![/QUOTE]

Yeah, that is the problem, I have the drivers and my computer recognize it, the problem, always show the error sahara.
And flash in fastboot no work because bootloader is block and not let me to do flash of anything.
Someone know how to create a qfil? I am developer and I could try but I not found tutorial how to do and I do not have it clear.

Every so often the same questions and the same answers.
You should read more. The X722 subforum is for something.
There is no qfil for X722, and there are no magic solutions of X720 / X727. This is an X722, it is locked and NOTHING of X720 / X727 is going to fix it.
Read this:

Greetings.
How do people keep ending up with bricks? Guess I'll have to find a mod to contact them about stickying a thread about the x722 here about stock 26s. It's a bad idea. Never update your x722 to stock 26s, because your bootloader will get locked when you try to flash TWRP. The only way to get out of 26s is to flash Batyan's 01D ROM (in the x722 Development section here), and then unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP. Flashing TWRP over stock 26s will cause a permanent brick because there's absolutely no QFIL file available for this device. Even in China.

H918 stuck on fastboot.

One of my costumer V20 is now stuck in fastboot.
Whatever I do, it's keep coming back to fastboot mode.
I can enter download mode, and try flash , even using the costum LG up, with upgrade option, partition DL option.
I use Box ( octopus, Z3x ).
I don't know what is wrong with this phone.
it's only going back to fastboot.
Any help is really apreciated.
Thank You.

It goes back straight to fastboot after LG logo
If you can get into download mode try the 'upgrade' option in lgup
It is stuck in fastboot because your customer tried to root it with lafsploit without unlocking the bootloader.
They have two choices:
1 - Send it to LG to have it repaired.
2 - Wait for me to finish lafsploit 2.0 which will unlock their bootloader, and their phone will just start working.
The partitions that hold the unlock information are not touched when you flash a KDZ, so no amount of flashing is going to fix it.

If you cant get into download mode by powering off, holding vol up and then plugging into a pc (no power button needed) then you dont have a phone anymore. Unless rooted via dirtysanta which replaces aboot (which provides fastboot), the stock fastboot mode of the h918 can't actually flash anything to the phone which means no unbricking with it; TWRP and download mode are only ways to restore firmware.
I know this is an old thread but my gf has the h918 which is unlocked with twrp Installed, she tried updating magisk from inside magisk and now she's stuck in fastboot mode .The fastboot reboot command does not reboot the phone I even booted into twrp and wiped cache any ideas?

[SOLVED!][BRICKED!] Stuck in Fastboot mode and I can't boot into TWRP!

Hi I bricked my 6T. I tried to flash HavocOS ROM. But it wasn't installed properly where the systemUI wasn't working properly and I should've wiped my phone beforehand. I rebooted back into recovery and the internal storage was corrupted. I wipe data, but that didn't work and I wiped the system to get into a mode where the MSMDownload Tool can access it. But instead I'm stuck in Fastboot mode, but I could boot into TWRP.
But I followed this thread to recover my 6T through Fastboot, most of the commands worked not the system 'fastboot flash system_a system.img' this was the same for '_b' as well. It kept on saying 'error: cannot load 'system.img'' and now I can't boot into TWRP. Every option in fastboot mode just reboots to fastboot. I tried to get my situation across in each thread (Havocos and Fastboot rom thread) But no reply, I am running out of options and losing hope
If fastboot commands work, type in " fastboot reboot EDL "
then run the msm tool

You found the fastboot ROM thread, did you try flashing everything again from fast boot? Don't just flash what you think you need, reflash all of them. I got stuck in this loop recently and after flashing everything my phone booted as normal, and then I just started over, installing TWRP and rooting etc. Reloading AOSP.
Kept me from having to use the MSM Tool.

Is very simple to fix this....
Unplug... Hold power plus volume up till the device shuts off
Now with the device turned off and unplugged still.....
Hold both volume buttons for about five seconds and while continuing to hold plug in the USB..... Screen will stay black that's normal cause because the device is now in edl and the msmtool should be detecting it.......

fastboot boot twrp.img [but stuck on splash screen]

Hey guys!
It's been a while since I've used my Mi A1. I turned it back on after a very long time and it was stuck on the android screen as if there was nothing to boot into so I tried booting into my recovery but there was nothing there either. I figured I probably formatted some stuff a while ago but I don't really remember what happened. Anyways, here's what I did next:
I could only boot into fastboot so I ran the command
Code:
fastboot boot path/to/tissot/twrp.img
but that didn't work.
So I flash the img to boot and tried rebooting to recovery but I was stuck on the android logo and again. I then again had to wait for my battery to run out before I could do anything else (I couldn't enter fastboot again. Only works when the phone is off for some reason)
I then erased the system partition using fastboot and tried booting into the recovery again but no luck. Can someone help me?
I know I messed up... big time. Someone save me
EDIT: Some more details
I tried two recoveries. The Pitch Black on XDA and also the standard "twrp-3.3.1-0-tissot.img" but had the same issue of getting stuck at the splash screen for both.
Also, I remember using Android 10 before all this happened.
EDIT 2: I ran the following commands:
Code:
fastboot set_active a
Code:
fastboot flash boot path/to/tissot/twrp.img
And I can now use the button combination to boot into recovery but I still get stuck on the splash screen
Hi,
have you fixed it? I face the same/similar issue, that I stuck at twrp splash screen after booting in twrp with fastboot
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.5.2_9-0-tissot.img
I have erased/formatted everything (userdata, cache, boot) and also tried to reflash the original rom with mi flash tool, but without success.
Any ideas?
MBR might be creating problem , try clean install with mi flash tool with official ROM .
@MIN313 Thanks for your response.
I tried to flash the official rom with the flash tool ( see here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-a1-flash-sec-error.4139573/#_=_ ) .

Does MiFlash recognize your phone? If not, try instaling ADB drivers nd disable driver enforcment,
To kick device out of diagnostic mode and into QDLoader you will need either:
1) A "deep flash" cable
2) Take the phone apart and bridge test points
There are guides online for both, you can Google. You can make deep flash cable yourself fairly easily with a spare USB cable. Testpoint location is found easily via Google and can be bridged with tweezers or small flat-head screw driver.
