a2017, restore,relock,w/o touchscreen for warranty - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hello I have a "a2017u" model, without a working touchscreen. I need to sent it in for a warranty repair. can anyone explain to me how to restore the device, currently it has twrp+lineage os. I CAN'T use the touchscreen, however you can see everything, only touch doesn't work. I really need help since this is my only phone and I'm borrowing one.

So where are you getting stuck?
I don't think you need to use the screen for anything.

I tried to use axon 7 toolkit, I run the check under option one and get this message.
So I don't know what's happening

EDIT: Some guy gave me an awesome idea: Use an OTG adapter and a USB mouse on TWRP. From there you can install some zips, I don't know anything about A2017s but you can look for guides on how to get to stock (not mine though)
Right. If you have an SD card I think you can:
- find a stock recovery.img, use fastboot to install it to recovery (fastboot flash recovery yourfile.img)
- then wipe data/factory reset with the stock recovery
- install an official system zip with your sdcard
You have a Chinese version phone so I don't have any recovery zips for that, sorry. If you can, look for the recovery img and send the link of where you got it here.
Axon7toolkit is a little bit too hardcoded, it needs adb first, then from ADB it boots to fastboot, then from there it boots a twrp img...

Well that's a no go. Besides the fact it refuses to show the mouse. It just doesn't work. I did manage to get to the desktop. But parts of the digitizer work and then it goes crazy clicking things on its own.

Chinese version? Mines the American. Zte a2017u

Then why did you write A2017 in the title and the OP?? Change that

Okay there may be an easier way. Try putting your phone in FTM mode (while off, hold Vol down + power) and a message that says FTM mode should appear. Now try axon7toolkit.
Or, if you have an USB mouse and an OTG adapter, enable USB debugging and connect your phone to the PC. Then use axon7toolkit

PLZ HELP!! Keeps booting into TWRP :(

Rooted my LG G2 (ATT) recently. Yesterday i got an error on bootup stating that system UI has crashed.. After that all hell broke loose. Phone when powered on only boots into the TWRP, friend thought he could "fix" the issue by doing a format on the device.. FML. SO now when trying to get into download mode to perform the Stock Rom/Unbrick process it just won't allow me to do anything. It just keeps booting into TWRP.
My laptop has all drivers needed, but phone won't be detected by my laptop..
Anyway how i can get my LG back to stock & working? Didn't have a custom rom or anything, only the Camera Mod which never gave issues..
The system UI came on before i did the Camera Mod by the way..

Copy a Rom on a USB stick and install it in TWRP via OTG, run back into TWRP and enter this line
start at the recovery, go to Advanced, then Terminal Command, press Select,use this code,
dd if=/dev/Zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
That should solve your problem, for me it just works
Only in this way can be turned off Trwp as default and the phone boots normally
Good Luck!

Have you tried to use the "sideload" option to see if you can load a rom onto it yet? This requires that your computer sees your phone with the correct drivers and adb working too.
Did you try to do a complete wipe/reboot and see if you can get into download mode?
If none of those methods work then I'm not sure what to tell you. I ran into two problems only so far.
First one was when I accidently wiped everything and had to sideload a rom onto my phone.
Second, I took the OTA update and had the bootloop TWRP problem which was solved by using the LG Flash tool to flash the stock Sprint rom onto my phone by following the directions for the Verizon Method but used a Sprint rom and dll file.
If you can't sideload a rom or get into download mode then you have a major problem there but it could be just that you've overlooked something.

Copy a Rom to Usb and install the Rom via Usb/Otg Cable,it is self to install from internal Storage.You can Select OTG or internal Storage in Recovery to install the Rom.Its easy,I can Backup or install Roms on Otg.

nope doesn't work.. Won't connect to PC... It did before fine.. Sideload is stuck at loading screen or something. I'll try loading rom onto USB & from usb to phone once i get an adapter for USB Female to Micro USB.
He got out.
I was stuck in the bootloop for about 6 hours before I realized I had the correct dll, and tot file, the correct utility from LGE, and I turned the noodle of a brick into a "unbranded" phone temporarily, until sprint came to the rescue, and branded everything back from the production image I loaded just earlier. I just wanna say this... DO NOT PLAY WITH PHONE DIALER CODES MEANT FOR THE KOREANS WHO TEST YOUR PHONE!!!
You can brick that **** fast as hell. TWRP kept coming in, and I didn't know how to deal with adb sideload, or the basic dd command to get things back to download mode. Now I have a real working knowledge of recovering from an otherwise hopeless state. Take your time, and explore slowly.
Your mileage may vary, just sayin'

I experienced this situation for a while.
The solution is doing a normal procedure to install custom rom from USB.
Just copy custom rom to USB, choose advanced wipe, then wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system. Then install custom rom in USB, and, reboot phone after installation finished.
Phone should be back to normal again.

[Q] Access device though computer? (Cracked screen)

Dropped my Nexus 4 last night and the screen cracked, leaving only the top and left side of the touch screen functioning - as such, I can't do anything on it, or even unlock it (only two dots on the left of the lock can be touched).
I am getting an upgrade shortly, so I would like to avoid repairing it, but I need to extract a bunch of data from it first (photos, amongst other things).
So my question is, are there any command line tools or anything which would allow me to access my phone? At the moment when I plug it into my mac, it just goes into charge mode, so can I initiate disk mode any how, or control it using my computer in any way?
Thanks a lot for reading! Hopefully one of you can help me.
Did you try connecting while in recovery? (Assuming the hard keys do still work)
I tend to forget which recovery does what, but I am sure that at least one of CWM or TWRP (or both even) allows USB debugging while in recovery so you can also get to your files, if needed. Via adb of course.
Thanks for the reply! Recovery mode was a good shout, because as you say my hard keys do still work. The only trouble I'm having is getting it to communicate with my computer now, as I'm on the stock recovery which doesn't seem to have a USB option. I suppose I'm going to have trouble installing CWM through stock recovery?

You can try installing CWM or TWRP via fastboot. Should also work as you wouldn't need to use your touchscreen.

You should be able to access the SD card as long as the phone is booted, plugged into the computer and the driver is working properly. Whenever I have plug mine in I'm not required to toggle anything on the device in order for the computer to recognize it.
Unless you have MTP disabled.. then you'll have to find an alternative option.

Stuck on ZTE Axon 7 Logo

Hello, I am completely new to this rooting thing and definitely a noob at this. I have tried to search for solutions, but most solutions I have seen use terminology that I have, for the most part, no idea what they are talking about. I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader. I then tried to root the phone but ended up getting stuck on "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader." It said it would boot in 5 seconds but it does nothing. To make matters worse, I made the mistake of locking the bootloader and now that I turn on the phone it is stuck on the ZTE logo. Assistance would be greatly appreciated .
My phone is the ZTE Axon 7 version 7.1 and A2017U.

Okay, this is getting pretty serious... At least 5 people locked their bootloader after getting bricked this month. This is the least helpful thing. @bkores Is there a warning on your toolkit? Maybe some testing for the stock recovery would be nice, but I don't believe that's possible
Okay, on to the debricking. You have one of the 3 models, A2017, A2017G or A2017U. The model is specified on the back of the phone; do not guide yourself by the software that you have installed. You need a Win10 x64 PC (or at least a windows PC on an x64 CPU, but Win10 usually works best); MiFlash, which is a program you can get from anywhere, and a FULL_EDL package for your phone, which you can find somewhere here. The name is usually A2017x_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL (the X stands for G for int'l, U for US, or nothing for Chinese). This package is pretty heavy (2.3 gb).
After you have all of that, unpack the package until you have a folder, connect your the USB cable to the PC on one of the rear USBs if you have a desktop PC (but leave the phone disconnected), and hold the two volume buttons but not the power button. Then plug the USB-C in and use MiFlash to flash the system. I guess I'll make a tutorial or something if this isn't clear enough, but for now, i'd say you ready the stuff

I don't know, because you haven't told me your phone model. Just look at the back, it should say the model there. But I think it's that. There's a thread with A2017G and A2017 files on the Guides section, made by WesTD. If you have one of those you can use one of the files. If you have an A2017U, you'll have to search. if you find the file, could you send me the link? I want to do a guide but can't find the U file

That's normal, just unlock the phone and do whatever you were hoping to do before. But use axon7toolkit now instead
A factory reset would also unlock the phone, but you might as well want to unlock and all that stuff since you'll lose your data anyways.

No, forget about the toolkit. Put the latest Magisk on your internal storage or SD card (or SuperSU if you don't care about SafetyNet), enter TWRP with the key combination (I think it's vol up + power), make a full backup, and flash the zip.

I never said I rooted other phones. That's why I called myself a noob on the original post. I now successfully rooted the phone and all that now I want to get Xposed on it. I found o post about it but it says that If I have a systemless root it will break it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68206045&postcount=2

boots to google logo

hi; rank amateur here. i unlocked my 6p which went with no problems and then installed trwp, now it just boots to the google logo. i can get to fastboot and twrp but my linux pc no longer sees the phone. i suspect the phone is in charge mode. can i use recovery, > terminal to turn on data transfer so i can load and flash a new os? i was looking at loading a zip to a sd card but i had to order an adapter from c to type a usb. thanks
@dr1445 Have you tried a factory reset? I'm not how Linux works but if I'm remembering correctly I think Windows installed additional drivers after I unlocked the bootloader. This is a bit old but looks like people are still using might find something useful.
yes i did try a factory reset but the same result. as for the the linux pc i used it to unlock the 6p and other phones, i just need to toggle off the the charge function and click on transfer. i have a widows machine, i will give it a try, never know.
fastboot says connect cable but it also reports download mode disabled, is there away to turn it on in fastboot?

Make sure your fastboot is the latest and maybe try a different cable if you can.

You're best bet is to just flash a factory image from Google and start over, link
let's see my pc still doesn't have commo with fastboot. i found that "sideloader" works between the pc and fastboot. i was able to install lineageos 15.1 but with out the gapps at the moment. odd thing is i can not get the "developer option" with 7 taps of the build #. working on new post now. thanks all.

Make sure your on the latest bootloader (3.79) I know that was a must after March update for most ROMs. Also make sure fastboot is the latest here.I think your best option is written above with reflashing latest stock image from March and starting over.
happy to check the bootloader version. i get bl: angler-03.79, baseband: angler-03.85. should be good?

[HELP] Bricked but fastboot kind of working.

Hey guys, need some help here. I have M1 pro European version and just kind of bricked it:
-The screen stays black, I think system is booting because I can hear unlock click if I press the power button. Also notification led indicates charging when connected.
-in fastboot mode the screen is black too, but fastboot sees the device, though the name is different than before the brick.
-In recovery all I can see is black screen.
Now, here's how this happened:
-I got the phone, updated firmware to 323
-Unlocked successfuly with unofficial unlock
-Tried installing TWRP to no avail - The process seemed to go through fine, but no TWRP, just stock Asus recovery. Tried multiple times, tried rebooting straight to recovery from fastboot, tried on different computers. Weird thing I noticed was that write time in fastboot during the process was like 0.001s, which led me to believe it thought it was writing TWRP, but really wasn't for some reason.
-Then I decided to flash fastboot firmware using this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...ow-to/guide-revert-to-stock-rom-lock-t3798420
-It started flashing, but during the process I noticed again that all the write times
were super low like 0.001s, which made me expect the worst, and well, here I am now.
It's the first time I have so many problems with rooting a phone. Any help is greatly appreciated, I hope I can fix this considering it kinda works in fastboot mode.
Thanks in advance and have a great day.
Not really an expert but there are problems flashing this phone via usb 3.0 port. If you are using one try a usb 2.0 one.

Not sure whether this will work (it does in some cases), try full ADB instead of minimal ADB + ASUS drivers installed from the website.
By what name does the fastboot see the device?
Hye, did you solve the problem?
Don't worry, it’s only soft bricked. All you need to do is to flash a stock service rom. Something like: WW_ZB602KL_15.2016.1805.318_20180712 or WW_ZB601KL(ZB602KL)-15.2016.1805.311-20180623. The reason it is "bricked" is because you flashed the incorrect rom for your device, actual model is important, M1 has many variants.
Try flash stock recovery through fastboot, relock ur device, then place whatever version of stock rom into microsd,
And last flash it via stock recovery
Hi sorry but how can i flash it through fastboot? I have same problem...

Flash stock recovery? Enter fastboot, connect Ur device to PC
Open cmd command in folder where U place the recovery.img file. Then, type "fastboot devices" to make sure Ur device detected
Then type "fastboot flash recovery (filename)"
Done
If you can see your device name when typing 'fastboot devices' you can do as said above. Could it be dead screen?

Yep, if it shows 'blablabla device' It could be dead screen
Then you can go to next step
Its not a dead screen. You just have a wrong rom/kernal/drives/firmware etc. Its a software issue.

i am facing the same issue but cant gent into stock recovery and cant enable usb debugging as well
any solutions.
Get into fastboot. Hold volume up and power. Even if you don't see the screen it should still go into fastboot. Check device manager on windows to see if any devices appear. The phone should vibrate when you turn it on and go into fastboot.
