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.

Do you have any experience rooting phones before?

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68302434&postcount=157
Just be careful. I got problem with data encrypted when booting to TWRP, but you can flash XPOSED from flashfire.
I saw there's an unofficial Cyanogenmod rom out for the Axon 7 and was wondering if there if one available for the Mini (or if the Axon 7 version will work on the Mini)?
No and no. First we need a bootloader unlock to install custom roms. Till now ZTE doesn't offer a bootloader unlock for the axon 7 mini.
I am also very interested in this and hope that soon there will be something
There is a new tool for the Axon7. Mainly for backup and writing the recovery and boot partition.
There might be some hope for the mini.
Read what I wrote about it in the thread and try the "read" feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon7tool-flash-backup-boot-recovery-t3514254
That sounds so great. I will try that at the weekend. Thank you for the information @celoxocis .

Let us know how t goes. I'm curious about if you at least read the boot and recovery using the tool.
It would mean the programmer was signed with the same key as for the Axon 7. I kinda doubt it because of the different SoC but you never know.
I'm on b21 and activated developer options for the first time, you can unlock the bootloader with a toggle of a switch, so maybe hope for a custom ROM?

Unfortunately that switch doesn't work. (At least on b12 I haven't tried b21 yet) I asked ZTE and they said that it was left over from their Chinese version of their ROM, and that they aren't "allowed" to have it work on the US model.

Apparently it works now, I am also posting on the ZTE forum and it allows adb commands from what was said, come on XDA I need root
Re: [UPDATE] Axon 7 Mini B2017G "Build 21" (US Version)

fallen00sniper the option in the setting doesnt allow you to root the device, it is simply for ADB (commands through usb port) at this current time I have not seen any post on XDA or else where about anyone who has successfully rooted or unlocked the Mini yet. XDA would definitely be the best place to keep an eye out on that though.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini
Nevermind, they said it doesn't do anything after saying it does.

Has no one tried the above mentioned tool?
Like said it can't hurt as long as you use the "read only" commands.
Is this root method not legit?
http://rootoreviews.com/root-ZTE-Axon-7-mini-install-twrp-custom-recovery
No it's not. It already fails at step 1. Downloading TWRP. There ist no TWRP for the Axon 7 mini.
Hello, ¿Any news about rooting this terminal?
Thanks
Hello,I asked ZTE about unlockoing the bootloader or rooting the terminal and this is what they answered me (google made translation):
Good afternoon,
In response to your request we will advise you that in order to enjoy the manufacturer's official warranty we must cover critical configuration options that can be modified and lead to a malfunction of the terminal.
ZTE does not guarantee the correct functioning of your terminal if you unlock bootloader; Task that we discourage. In fact, should such an unlocking be detected, our official guarantee would be invalid.
Greetings,
No hope for us at the moment.

You'll get hope if I'm able to get my hands on one. For now, you all will have to wait. Just don't give up on it if you're looking for custom Roms. It should get the same treatment as the Axon 7.

That doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't it be "allowed" I came to this section of XDA to research which phone to buy, I guess I won't be "allowed" to buy this model, since the bootloader can't be unlocked. I know I maybe in the minority, but I still vote with my wallet. Moving along I guess....

I ended up returning my Axon 7 Mini after it had other issues (The speaker wasn't working with media audio) and got a Sony Xperia XZ and I love it, no regrets.

The bootloader will be unlocked, I can push for it now, but I decided to wait to N. If it's going to help users make a decision, I'll try and push for it now.

I'm shopping around for a new phone right now actually. First thing I always do when I find one that I seem interested in, is come here search and see can the bootloader be unlocked, what kernels are available, ROMs etc. Basically what kind of community support is behind the device. This is a large part of my decision to buy a phone. ROMs and kernels don't have be available right away, but if it's locked, support tends be lacking compared to other devices, so I tend to move along.
Again I'm sure I'm a minority, but if I want to change something, I want to be able to.

I don't think ZTE has committed to N for the mini?
Have people been able to successfully root their Mediapads? I can't find any reliable/stable methods for TWRP or similar. The only solution at the moment is the one that greatslon created; no one/very few have confirmed that this works. Are there any stock firmwares/recoveries available yet either?
I followed the instructions given in the other thread. It was not a 1-click straight path, but it eventually worked just great and my M3 is rooted since a couple of months now, it works like a charm and it's super stable.

I'm curious, do you have a US version or other version of this tablet? I have the US version and I cannot get TWRP that's posted in your linked thread to even boot. Trying to narrow down why it works for some and not others.
Thank you.

I'm French, bought it in France from a french dealer.
It does not look to be a french-specific model though, I would rather say "European model" as the included documentation comes in different EU languages.
In case that's relevant info my model is BTV-DL09 and build # is BTV-DL09C100B003
And from instructions given here, my OEMINFO is:
Vendor= hw
Country= eu
I'm located in the US (Atl) and we only have the WiFi only tablet here.
Model# BTV-W09
Build# BTV-W09C128B002
OEMINFO - ? Currently I can't boot TWRP or root so I can't retrieve it.
I do appreciate you sharing your info.

I'm in the same boat as you man. I posted in the greatslon thread that it didn't work for me and the OP nor anyone else cared to reply. I too have the US wifi only variant so maybe that's the reason why. As of right now I'm stuck using the stock device with just the bootloader unlocked.
I don't know why the hell this device isn't more popular it has stupid good specs and build quality for its sub $300 price. And an unlockable bootloader. You'd figure the dev community of the nexus 7 would be all over it.

There is one real thread with a mish-mash of different model numbers. I am sceptical to trust that one home-made/freelance custom recovery will be the solution for everyone. I appreciate all the work that has been put in, but without more evidence that it will work, I'm staying clear. It's a shame as this tablet looks and feels great; it just needs the freedom of root. Unfortunately, as the rest of the world moves onto Nougat, an unrooted Huawei tablet running Marshmallow becomes less appealing. Lets hope our devices don't die too early.
Model: BTV-W09
Build: BTV-W09C100B003
Greatslon modded version of TWRP works fine with the US variant of the MediaPad M3. After I gave up trying to simply boot into it rather than flash it over my stock recovery I've not had any problems. If it was bricking device's you would see numerous complaints in his thread. After it was discovered that there was a difference between tablets depending where you purchased it he corrected for it.

May I ask how you unlocked the bootloader? I emailed Huawei and they told me that they can't help me unlock it.....
From what I've researched, I think I should be good to go. Just checking before I go and buy. They're on sale at best buy for $150.
Anything I need to be careful of? Like not letting it download any updates?
Thanks

Yes as long as you use tuliptool and tdm's TWRP.

Updates really don't matter as far as I know, I don't use stock, I use a custom ROM.
Nonono, go ahead and update to Nougat! You can't install TWRP correctly without it!

I didn't have a problem, I installed TWRP on Marshmallow!
I just got to ask you while I am typing this, does anybody else have problems with tdm's stock ROM? Because when I flash, TWRP says no OS installed and then just stays at the ZTE Powered By Android Screen!?

Dear all,
now i bought 6t phone only one month before from Aliexpress.com, but the cheater seller sent to me a t-mobile converted to international and he didn't acknowledge
but now i updated to android 10 through the oxygen updater
the problem of the safetynet fails arises to me when i tried to use a McDonalds app then i searched about the problem i found it because of the safetynet is failed
then i understood that the phone is unlocked and converted from T-mobile
so now some apps not working like netflix, McDonalds , google pay and i don' know what else i will face soon
I don't want to root my device, because i didn't before and i don't have experience with that
i searched and found some people talking about magisk and it can fix the problem
i don't know it will fix or not and how to do it without root
if anyone can help me please to fix this.
thanks all
You need to root and fix the problem with Magisk, or downgrade back to stock T-Mobile in order to get a certified Playstore, and Gpay to work. Until T-Mobile offers Android 10 there isn't a option other than the mentioned.
Rooting and installing Magisk will fix your problem now. However, once T-Mobile releases Android 10 for their devices then that issue will be gone. Until then we just have to find other ways. Good thing you are on the XDA-Developers forum. Most of the answers to your problems regarding phones can be found here. I hope this helps.
So rooting is the only way I can do now to get Google pay works and play store certified
But what rooting will do for my phone
And is rooting my phone will erase all data
I would pursue refund from seller. Get Ali to kick his butt off the platform.

Good luck! However, if you root the phone you can bypass the problem. It is not hard and I recommend it :good:
How much did you pay and what would you expect for a refund amount?

I hope they will refund something I requested 150$ as I know if they approved they will give very little amount, I expected from them not more than 50$ if they gave as they taking seller side as some buyers also said
I will try to root it
But a question please, what will be changed if I rooted my phone ?

Okay but if T-Mobile released The update can I use it while I am on international rom now or I have to change something again
Also I am not in US, so at that time I can use it normally with my sim or what?
Because if any troubles I think I will root my device

So I have a converted T-Mobile OP6T to Global version and having the same playstore certification issue after the A10 update. T-mobile now has a A10 update. How would I covert back? and if i decide to do so, what will be the drawbacks? will i get sim lock issue? or what if i the IMEI has been changed? would that cause any issues?
