I locked my axon with a non stock recovery - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I was on lineage and reverted back to stock. I thought I was on the stock recovery until I couldn't update to B32. Is there anyway to unlock it again or am I just stuck at this point?

Just unlock silly. Why do you think you are stuck?

From my understanding you have to have the stock recovery to unlock the phone again. Is that not the case? I tried unlocking through EDL and miflash using the Fastboot_Unlock file, but the phone wont turn on after that so I have to re-flash .

No idea. Would never lock unless selling or returning. Still confused why you are stuck. You are not able to flash recovery with twrp or unlock in fastboot?

I locked the boot loader in order to use android pay at the time. The current recovery doesn't have twrp. maybe ill try using abd and the command prompt instead of using axon7tool and miflash.

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.

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.

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

I want to go back to ROM stock and bootloader locked but when I do not have access to the bootloader anymore I can not do the command "adb lock oem"

Cannot get into fastboot

Hey guys, I have a unlocked, rooted phone which i need to return to ZTE. I used miiflash to get back stock rom and recovery but need to lock the bootloader. Whenever I try to go into fastboot mode, the phone just sits in the "Please lock the bootloader" screen, but i can get into stock recvoery and the ROM starts.
Even using adb or stock recovery to go to fastboot doesnt work.
I used this package to flash stock:
ZTE_A2017UV1.1.0B32_FULL_EDL_PACKAGE_BY_TURKDEVS
Any ideas?

That's normal. I think there's a package called A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL somewhere over here (they got it from 4PDA). Flash it via MiFlash and it should slap a new bootloader there or something. After that you can lock it
Ok just to verify, i am on the B32 stock rom with the bootloader still unlocked using Miflash, i need to be very careful doing this as I have already bricked one phone this week (another thread is coming about that)
i should use this thread to go back to B29 then lock the bootloader?

I believe B32 doesn't let you access the Bootloader. You need to MiFlash B15 in edl. Then you'll be able to access the Bootloader and fastboot oem lock. But be patient it takes over 30 mins for it to completely flash the package. After you relock it then you can either ota back up, MiFlash B32 in edl, or install the official b32 zip from zte from the SD card.
Here's B15 edl package

Confirmed seems to work. After miflashing B15 (from B32 Nougat) I can boot into bootloader. Did my oem lock. Thanks

Turn off your phone completely, then hold volume up, volume down and power at the same time. You'll see the LED flash red once and nothing on the screen. That means it's in EDL mode. Connect USB and your computer will recognize it and do as you wish

First time I downgrade from B35 to B29, then to B15. Took a while. 2nd time, I found a TWRP EDL file which gives you twrp and fastboot altogether. https://build.nethunter.com/misc/axon7/A2017U_B29_TWRP_EDL.zip

OnePlus 8 Pro Fastboot Bootloop

My OnePlus 8 Pro is stuck in a fastboot boot loop, can't even power the phone down at this point, fastboot just comes back up again. There is no ROM on the phone somehow (after attempting to downgrade from the beta program) The bootloader is also locked as well, and can't flash any fastboot images. I have attempted to use the MsmDownloadTool, but can't get out of fastboot to use it.
What can I do at this point?
UPDATE: After letting the phone sit and drain the battery completely, I was able to get it into EDL mode, and use the MSM tool, it flashed everything, but still no boot. Any suggestions?
Make sure that you are not connected to USB and select power off from the fastboot menu. You should be able to put it into EDL mode after that and connect back to USB so that you can use the msm tool.

Power off would immediately power back on and to fastboot. I let the phone die and was able to get it to go into EDL mode after, and was able to use the MSM tool, but still no boot.
Any suggestions?
Only time I have had that happen is when I still had the USB cable connected. If it let you use the msm tool and still no boot there may be something wrong with the phone and need an RMA.
Can you access fastboot from the command line? Try downloading the fastboot rom and flash it using the flash-all bat. I had an issue after doing an ota where it wouldn't boot anything but the bootloader. Had to manually change slots to B and then run flash-all and was good after that.

Fastboot does boot, but it is locked so there is no flashing anything through that.
Recovery can now boot as well, but still no boot to OS.

Cannot unlock as I can't boot into an OS to enable the unlock. Tried flashing through fastboot but gives error that it has to be unlocked. I have attempted unlocking it through fastboot but it gives an error that it can't be unlocked.

Rough. I was thinking since it didn't have a os loaded it would bypass that switch in dev options

Trying to flash TWRP but no success (stuck on Fastboot mode)

I have been on a journey trying to go back to my T-Mobile OnePlus 6T back as my daily driver but the official updates killed the device for me. I have been successful in flashing it to the international version and now the device is on A9. I am trying to get it updated to A10 but in order do that (does not take OTA updates or can not flash within the updates app) I have to flash in recovery. Right now it is on stock recovery so I am trying to flash TWRP.
The problem is now that everytime I run the command " fastboot boot IMAGENAME.img" the phone restarts (as expected) and boots into fastboot but stays stuck in the Fastboot Mode screen.
I tried different TWRP images (older and the most current version per https://dl.twrp.me/fajita/ ) but I keep getting stuck in the Fastboot Mode screen. The last thing I was able to do without issues was unlock bootloader using fastboot.
I just need to be able to flash TWRP on the phone so I can still the final stock image so I can go back to using it as my DD.
EDIT: Disregard everything I fixed it. mods, please delete thread.
EDITR 2: Disregard that last edit lol Yeah I still need help. I am now tryingto flash twrp on a second 6T and the issue described above still applies.
You can try this version. Also try unplugging the USB after it reboots. You aren't getting any crash dump screen? So it should be working.

Tried your image and still same result. I am running following command
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP-3.6.1_11-OP6xT.img
The command window outputs the following
Code:
Sending 'boot.img' (34964 KB) OKAY [ 0.747s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.092s]
Finished. Total time: 0.860s
The phone then reboots into Fastboot Mode logo and stays stuck there. I even tried unplugging the USB after it reboots as well.
I even tried using the flash command instead of boot but no success.
How about fastboot boot recovery? Should be able to get into recovery somehow. Doing fastboot flash of twrp will mess up your boot partition but either way you still should be able to get into recovery somehow. There is the msm recovery tool you can use as last resort but it will relock your bootloader
Actually fastboot doesn't let you use boot recovery command I don't think. Only adb. But once you are in fastboot can't you choose to reboot recovery with volume keys?

When I am in fastboot mode, yes I can choose recovery but it takes me to the stock recovery. I do not have a option to flash any zip files there
Maybe you need a twrp for Android 9 since that's what you are on. But fastboot boot twrp should just take you there. Either have to find one that works or go msm route. Maybe windows not reading it correctly also. You using CMD or PowerShell?
