I can't unlock bootloader, because I haven't access to system

Means you have a fully bricked device? Or you can get in stock recovery? If yes then try to boot it up in stock recovery and connect via adb.

Can you boot in sideload ( power and volume up) ? If yes flash the stock recovery and then flash the stock ROM

Dude? I don't understand what are you saying! You don't go in twrp to flash the stock recovery. Copy the stock recovery to your adb folder in your computer ( where you have adb.exe ) Just turn of your phone then hold the power and volume up at the same time util you enter in fastboot mode the in adb use this: " fastboot flash stock-recovery-LL.222.img " After that reboot in recovery again and you should get the stock recovery, after that move the stock ROM to sd card and in recovery select " update from sdcard " or do it with sideload using " adb sideload UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-13.10.7.1-user.zip "

my solution

sorry for my English.
I had the same problem. Startup screen locked and nothing else ( ZE500KL ).
I believe the problem to be using the unlock procedure with latest firmware version 13.10.7.1 .
I solved it by reinstalling before UL-ASUS_Z00E-WW-13.10.7.1-user.zip and then this file boot_13.10.6.16_patch.
(I can not post links . search it with google . if someone can post it to write to me in pvt . I give link)
everything from sd card with TWRP
although it is not the same version it solved the problem . Now everything perfect . If you want to reboot after you reset by zenfone and bring back to factory conditions .

How flash recovery a2017U

Hi guys
I flashed a twrp recovery on my a2017U witout unlocking bootloader but i can not access it now (i can not reach recovery) it seems my device annoy me to access it...
I also checked all related posts like this...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/axo...nlock-t3553514
And tried to unlock my bootloader But not worked for me
Is there any way i can return to stock recovery or twrp recovery...?
My phone is working now but i can not reach recovery any way...

I flashed the twrp with miflash tool...
Can i flash stock recovery at same way?
And i dont have the stock recovery and that is i need it...

At this point it's probably easier to unlock and use twrp.

I used miflash to install twrp but can not load recory(when i try to boot recovery, with combo power+volume up key, the screen becomes black and the notification led came red. Untill i reboot the phone)
And i tested to unlock bootloader but failed...
Is there another way to flash it?

If you want stock recovery flash with tenfar tool or fastboot.

The link you posted works quite well actually. What i found is that you need to unzip all the files you wish to flash onto the desktop. How did you attempt to unlock the bootloader?

Same here. Just jump back into EDL mode and flash the full OTA. Download and unzip the folder to your desktop. I removed the META-INF File and flashed after the A2017U_** folder as the META caused me to fail a few times.

[Help][A2017G] SoftBrick only bootloader and stock recovery

Hi,
I have an A2017G which after trying linageos had the stock rom from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484 TWRP and an unlocked bootloader. That worked ok, and I wanted to upgrade to the stock ROM 7.1. I installed this using TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29. But now when it boot's after the bootloader it's stuck showing a linux logo, and it won't boot Android.
In the bootloader (http://i.imgur.com/Os4vkwT.jpg) I can try to go to fastboot, but selecting that only reboots the phone. I can however select recovery and go to the stock recovery (http://i.imgur.com/PBj6y6X.jpg). From there I have tried to sideload (selecting Apply update from ADB and adb sideload rom.zip) the stock rom (http://www.ztedevice.com/support/detail?id=1170789A90BA42E18B3364B80C7F5A26), the previous rom I tried to install (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71664539&postcount=29) and another TWRP stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-kernel-stock-7-1-1-b02-based-a2017g-t3592470) but all fail at the very beginning saying "(adbd status 1) Installation aborted" (http://i.imgur.com/RzNSBtu.jpg).
I also tried to install linageos back using sideload but it fails ("failed to verify whole-file signature"). I believe that is because it's not the official rom and the stock recovery only accepts that.
ADB only works in sideload mode and fastboot doesn't (it loads the bootloader again).
Do you know how I should proceed? How could I install the stock rom, or TWRP again?
Thanks in advance.

Try it with this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-reinstall-twrp-root-update-to-t3578552
If you can't flash recovery with axon7toolkit try it with the last step "Get Fastboot" first. ZTE removed the fastboot mode in Nougat, so you have to flash another fastboot image.
If you can boot into fastboot again you can flash TWRP and from TWRP a rom.
Good luck!

Hi Darkem,
Thanks a lot, that actually worked. I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to install TWRP because I was only able to use the command "adb sideload update.zip" but other commands like "adb reboot edl" didn't work. But as it's said in the other post, pushing the three buttons of the phone set the phone into EDL mode. From there I was able to install TWRP.
Thanks a lot again

(A2017G) Hello. I no longer have access to fastboot because I flash a stock rom (Nougat) with the recovery stock and it has removed my modified bootloader, I managed to install twrp in edl mode but I still have no access to bootloader. What should I do please? Flash a stock rom (Marshmallow) here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/download-center-factory-images-ota-t3606547) to gain access to fastboot again (bootloader )? Thank you. Sorry translation from French to English with Google Translate

Granted I have the A2017U, but in stock recovery I can still access the phone memory with my pc. Why not download the stock rom from ZTE, put it on the phone memory, and flash it in the stock recovery?

Sorry, why do you want fastboot? If you're planning to relock the bootloader you'll need to be fully stock, which wouldn't be the case if you just installed a fastboot zip. Relocking the bootloader is probably the only thing that fastboot is mandatory for

Hello!
Looks like your bootloader is blocked. if u have oem unlock enable y can unlock then try to flash. if is u cant unlock, i recomend u to use the dload method to flash oem firmware so your phone can boot properly again.
