I am not new to the whole flashing and rooting process, did it for quite some time, but now reading about the A2017G version got me a bit scared, because I can't afford to lose the phone right now, and most of the methods are outdated or really unreliable. Please help with this problem, if you know a thread how to unlock bootloader and get root with clear instructions then link it please, and if it requires downgrading, because I am on 7.1.1., please also link how to do that, because I never did it.

didn't you see the stickied toolkit?
Just don't even think about relocking the bootloader after rooting the phone.

WARNING: Some A2017G devices may be PERMANENTLY bricked when flashing packages through EDL mode due to slightly different partition tables. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I got my axon 7 on friday, I rooted it within 30 minutes after getting home with it
I used the toolkit and it worked very well, I have the 2017G version, unlocked, bought in Romania.

Lol everything is that way here. I 'permanently bricked' mine after I rebooted it without a system, it didn't even show the ZTE screen. Got it to life with a screwdriver and patience
Or use controllerboy's guide, which you could've used all along without even asking here
In other words, either take the plunge or stay stock. There's no 100% safe way to do this, there are a bunch of people who brick their phones while following the guides, and they brick them for no apparent reason as they were doing everything right
Mine has personal and work SIM so don't want to compromise it's use at all.

Total noob, so any and all help very much appreciated. I had an issue with my phone not booting, so after lots of tricks and tips I was still stuck in a bootloop. I ended up finding an image and followed the instructions and voila my phone boots, all be it wiped and needing all apps and such installed. However I soon realized my phone is no longer unlocked. so now I cant use my Straight talk sim card. I need help ASAP if possible and more than willing to compensate anyone who can help me get my phone and txt messaging working again. Im pretty versed in PC stuff, as I work in IT, but I have never done any phone moding or flashing until now, so detailed explanations would be great, or if needed we can link up using a remote software program or FB. Thanks!

Edit....Ok my device is rooted (dont know for sure but I have super user installed (full version of SU)) and I can play apps that are not Google approved. I tried the Motopocalypse and cant get any further.

Flashing Firmware via Fastboot
You mentioned you are stucked at the initial setup screen. This implies that you need to reflash the stock ROM. Please visit this link to read my post containing instructables to successfully flash stock ROM.
Q. Can I unlock bootloader?
No. As of KDA 20.62 15.1 update, the Trust Zone vulnerability has been fixed which allowed exploit to work.
Q. Can I root?
Yes! Head to this thread to root (install SU) on your RAZR.
Q. Can I downgrade?
Unfortunately no! You are stucked permanently with the Kitkat flavour.
US GSM Carrier Unlock
The method is fairly long but easy. Head to the thread here to unlock US GSM carriers which will allow you use Straight Talk.

I thought it would be easy to find an answer to this question... but I haven't been able to find my specific situation.
I'm wondering if it is okay to take the 6.0.1 update? Everything is still stock except the only thing I have done is unlock the bootloader. I know you would normally not want to, but I wasn't sure if the bootloader is impacted or affects any system updates.
Thanks
Go for it, you'll be fine . Nothing system related has been modified.

Thanks both for the replies. Your guide is awesome, so thank you! I assumed most people would go all the way, so most people wouldn't be in my situation. I just wanted to do some research first before I decide what direction I want to go. I've been out of the game for a couple years due to locked down Samsung Notes. CM looks like a good option as it appears you can install updates without having to flash each time? Anyway, thanks again for the help!

The root and the twrp worked grwat for two days - then something died in my phone. I sent it back to ZTE and they determined the best course of action was to replace it (fully covered RMA job). Since they decided to replace it I guess the problem with my phone wasn't software so I seriously doubt tenfar's root solution was to blame.

Oh yes, rooted my desire eye and flashed a couple roms.
ok - if you have any questions after reading the instructions the best advise I can give you is to wait. ZTE states they are currently working on posting the A2017U full factory images online. That is supposed to be the failsafe - if something goes wrong you flash that. If things seem straight forward to you then go for it. Lots of people have used it successfully - it worked great for me until I had hardware failure, and I doubt tenfar's root caused it
Its worked like magic, Tenfars Root. With DrakenFX and Unjustified DEV Unlocked sources, super. Oh hell yeah i rooted and Unlocked my Device Axon ZTE 7 A2017 China Model with 6GB through this ways!!! TWRP, TITANIUM BACKUP are so much working well. l'm very proud of you guys. Keep it up guys. Thank you all so much. I used this magic in my Monster Axon ZTE 7 China Model 6GB RAM 128 GB intern disc. It's goes too with SanDisk either 200GB or 256 GB Extern Disc. I'm using 200GB SanDisk right now.
Unable to enter EDL via keys (not Tenfar's fault!)
Yes, I rooted without problems following this guide

Just be careful. I got problem with data encrypted when booting to TWRP, but you can flash XPOSED from flashfire.
I really need help with rooting my ZTE Axon 7. I am on the latest software update and on Android 7.1.1. I would like to root my phone but I don't know where to get started or what to do exactly. Can someone please help me and send links or downloads to help me root my device? Thank you

Actually it's not that simple...
You don't get to come here and ask for all of the work to be done for you. Otherwise it happens like with the Galaxy Grand 2, where the phone had a very good dev community but noobs with no interest on spending some time just ruined it to the point that literally only a couple of devs stayed and released CM14.
Also if you ask for someone to send you the exact guides that you need, you'll probably not read anything, and you'll get a beautiful DFU brick...
Do this: First do your homework. Memorize the model on the back of your phone, see if the software model matches the one on the back. As a tip, there are 3 models, the A2017, the A2017G and the A2017U. If you use a file that's not for your model you can start saying goodbye to your brick, or else you'll probably be days trying to fix it (or months like some people). Look at the problems that may come up when rooting and see the way to avoid those. Then look for a guide that suits your model. Download all the files, ensure that all of them work (you'll need Windows on a 64-bit PC), and THEN proceed.
If you have any doubts you can PM me or maybe the maker of the guide, but at least try to do something for yourself! I read more than 10 pages on the guide that I used just to see the problems that may arise and stuff like that. You also should be able to do that. And if you aren't, it's best that you don't try. This is not a Nexus device for you to write 'fastboot oem unlock' and basically finish unlocking the bootloader, this is MUCH more serious...
Use my toolkit: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
No need for any guides
Just make sure you read all the main posts as there a couple snags
Hi all.. The last device I rooted was an HTC EVO so it has been a while . I've been reading a lot and trying to catch up. I found both of these guides below to root the device. They both use a different approach. So I guess there's more than one way to do this, got it.. I guess I am just looking for some advice as to what is the most current/best way/safest to root the Tab S6 Lite. I have installed all updates provided by Samsung which has brought me to Android 11. I figured I should ask if the fact that I am already running android 11 could throw any monkey wrenches into the process of rooting it. It appears that Andoird 10 is expected within the guides. Can anyone recommend a guide for Android 11?
Thank you in advance.

yes, magisk seems the safest way, specially now that we don't have an official twrp
the catch is.. finding the correct exact firmware to patch the boot.img

I hate to say it, but I don't think using the discontinued TWRP is really too big of a deal. All things considered, it doesn't have too many bugs, and you can work around things like no adb sideload.
I just have a question. Do you think TWRP will ever be revived for this tablet, even an unoffifcial one? I mean, there seems to be a demand. Is it permanently discontinued or...?

No, I got stage fright at this point and figured the process isn't mature enough for my scenario, or I just didn't get pointed in the right direction. I think that part that concerned me was KNOX... something that didn't exist the last time I rooted an android phone (HTC EVO, yeah that long ago).

Thanks for replying. My S6 Lite is due to arrive today. I'll be trying to root my P610 with latest A11 firmware (US 2DUK1), with TWRP, will capture whatever I do.
Awesome! Much appreciated, I suspect there's many out there waiting for an updated guide.
I think twrp is not a good solution,check twice before flashing.
Rooted mine which is lte version,picked up latest from samfirm and patched AP with magisk,added rest of the files in odin from stock.
After flashing done,you must flash vbmeta and boot from stock packed in tar,to avoid error.
