I've been using custom ROMs for a while on my A2017G but decided to get back to stock. Before doing all the bootloader unlocking/rooting etc I backed up my original firmware (Nougat, B09). So I reinstalled the original firmware that I had backed up but somehow lost TWRP in the process (the bootloader is still unlocked). I then used Axon 7 Toolkit to re-install TWRP. Unfortunately I cannot get to bootloader mode through Android Recovery as it reboots normally. Axon 7 toolkit gives me the following notice 'If your device rebooted normally then your device has no access to fastboot. Follow the miflash instructions for the bootloader unlock option to restore your device's fastboot mode'. The thing is the phone is bootloader unlocked so I don't need to unlock again.
Basically, I cannot install TWRP through bootloader mode. I also tried adb-fastboot tool from my Pc but same thing happens, phone reboots normally.
What I really wanted is bring back the phone to full stock, including re-locking the bootloader.
I also want to have the bootloader re-locked again before selling the phone.
Any help/ suggestions much appreciated.
Good lord, don't use the Q&A mode for a simple question. XDA Labs opens it on a browser window
Follow Controllerboy's guide, but only the part where he installs TWRP with axon7tool. After that, boot into TWRP and follow raystef66's guide on how to get rid of the 5 seconds screen. That'll give you fastboot. Then flash a full stock system, stock recovery, and you'll probably be safe enough to relock
But I'd ask the next owner if he/sge actually cared on having the bootloader unlocked. Relocking it is risky as $hit you know.
Sorry, am kind of new and was not sure which way to post my comment. Thank you for responding and the advice. I managed to install full stock, actually downgraded to Marshmallow so I can get to fastboot/bootloader mode now. Thanks again.
You can still have bootloader mode on Nougat if you follow raystef66's guide. Plus it will hide the 5 secs screen
Actually I discovered I can't get into Fastboot mode from stock marshmallow so guess it's back to nougat with raystef66's guide.

Hi guys, I tried flashing stock rom and re-locking the bootloader so that I could have the phone completely stock. However, after re-locking the bootloader, I seem to have bricked the phone. I've scoured the forum for fixes, tried tenfar's tool, and nothing has worked yet. Hopefully someone has come across this situation before and can advise me on how to get my phone working again.
So how I got to this point.
-Originally the phone was on stock rom, rooted, with official TWRP recovery.
-Booted into TWRP, wiped cache, dalvik, data.
-Flashed ZTE_A2017U.B29_MergeBootStack_by_DrakenFX.zip.
-Flashed ZTE_A2017U.B29_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX.zip.
-Rebooted phone, went through initial setup, then turned on Allow OEM Unlocking in Dev Options.
-Rebooted back into TWRP, used Minimal ADB to fastboot oem lock.
So the phone rebooted twice from there, and seemed like it was going to boot properly, but the first screen that appeared was a lock screen asking for the password. I didn't set any passwords, and couldn't find any default factory passwords even looking through the zteusa forums on posts for similar situations. Then I tried rebooting into the bootloader to factory reset the phone, but trying to boot into the bootloader only leads to a black screen after the ZTE boot logo. That's where I'm currently stuck. No matter what I try, be it tenfar's tool, I can't get into anything but the black screen or the password-locked screen.
Using tenfar's tool, after I issue the axon7root.exe -p 3 command, it shows the next two lines, up to Version 1.10, then does nothing else. I'm not sure if this is because I flashed B29, and the tool only goes up to B27.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Tennear's tool for flashing a boot and recovery image seems the most promising I think, but I don't quite understand how to use it.
-Rebooted back into TWRP, used Minimal ADB to fastboot oem lock.

First, you shouldn't (can't?) relock the bootloader while you're using a custom recovery. Additionally, I don't think you can issue fastboot commands to recovery.
Boot into TWRP and do a factory reset from there.
If not, flash the ZTE B29 image either via stock recovery (flashed via TWRP/tenfar's tool), or edit the install script to make it flashable via TWRP.
I have a Axon 7 A2017U, bootloader unlocked. My recovery is corrupted after attempting to flash a older version of TWRP in recovery. I can no longer reboot into TWRP via recovery, it hangs at the ZTE powered by screen. I can't boot into the o/s, it too was corrupted while attempting to restore to stock using the DrakenFX's guide.
Booting into fastboot is a no go either, it just hangs at bootloader screen.
Any suggestions on where to go from here or how to fix the corrupted recovery?
You need to go into EDL mode and use MiFlash and flash a back to stock package. You can find a package here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=160532
Hello maybe i have same problem here. I have A2017G and maybe i have only woked unlocked bootloader. I dont think my EDL is working becouse i cant connect with ADB. Dont have any acces to recovery... i messed up step by step remember.
1. downloaded toolkit and woked fine - 2 installed drivers and working fine with EDL. 3 unlocked with no problems , 4 flashed TWRP with no problems and then i wanted to install lineage os. Downloaded last version lineage , and google apps and one file "A2017G_N_Modem.zip" and put all 3 files on my SD card. I wipe everything and then first installed modem file OK, but on second try with Lineage OS i have any errors and i just cant continue. After this i wanted to go back to original OS and i just locked my bootloader with axon toolkit and after restart i have acces only to Unlocked Bootloader. tryed everithing with axon7toolkit but nothing working. If i try to EDL mode when press volumeUP+volumeDOWN+power my phone have black screen and i thing is powered OFF.
OMFG i just typed "fastboot oem unlock" 5-6 time when i started phone to my bootloaders and now it unlocked and have acces to my TWRP.

Thanks, I flashed it with A2017U_B19-NOUGAT_FULL_EDL and was able to flashed twrp recovery. I was hoping the o/s would be fixed too but I get this error message as soon as o/s load "settings keeps stopping, close app". It appears it's a bad or incorrect stock file. I had to format data in TWRP recovery as the drive was encrypted. So now i'm back at square one.
Bad o/s but working recovery, so I attempted to flash these files to get back to stock but was unsuccessful. It would flash halfway and then just restarts and hung at the bootloader unlock screen.
A2017UV1.0.0B29_RollBackModded.zip
A2017UV1.1.0B32_bootstack_by_DrakenFX.zip
A2017UV1.1.0B32_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX.zip
Am I on the right track? Or should I be flashing with a different os variant?

So you didn't read all of the hurdles and warnings about locking the bootloader with non-stock firmware?
Plus you also didn't find out about the Universal Bootloader? Did you even read the installation steps???
You had an error 7, which is that you forgot to install the Universal Bootloader. Do so this time.
EDL has nothing to do with ADB. You can access it with the phone completely off... (volume up and down, and insert usb)
I think I messed up my PH-1 something royally.
All I was trying to do is unlock my bootloader and load Magisk.
To preface this, my PH-1 seemed to act a little wonky from the get-go. I bought it 3rd person from a guy on craigslist so anything warranty involved I think I'm out of luck.
The phone would take a while to power on, it took something like 10secs on the power button just to turn it on. And if I set it to reboot , it boots into the bootloader. Also, I was never able to access the recovery (even using power + up). It always felt like I had to hold the buttons for way to long to get to its destination; e.g. up and power to get into fastboot.
Ok where I'm at now. In can occasionally get into fastboot mostly after it bootlooping a few times. It won't get past the Essential logo if I try to boot it up.
PS I was able to unlock the bootloader.
Steps I took to remedy this:
> erase all user data in fastboot
> hold power + u + d to hard power off
> follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/how-to/guide-rooting-essential-ph-1-magisk-t3701976
> attempt to install stock system image via flash-all
>a ton other
Here are the results of that.

That's the exact process I was going through, and it finally booted up.
The issue I was having was a bad usb connection which wouldn't allow me to unlock_critical.
SOLVED. Still no Magisk, we'll worry about that another time. 5hrs of troubleshooting is enough for one night.

You have to flash magisk in twrp recovery NOT bootloader mode.
It's right in the OP from the rooting guide you followed:
Do not set up a password if you are on 8.1 twrp doesn't work.
You need to read through that rooting guide and make sure you know what you're doing before you try.
This phone is easy to hard brick and there is no solution to recover from that.
OREO 8.0/8.1
REQUIREMENTS:
An unlocked bootloader.
A working ADB/Fastboot environment on your computer. Knowledge on how ADB and Fastboot works is also preferred.
The stock boot image for whatever build you're running/trying to root.
The latest TWRP build for our device.
If on 8.1, remove your pin/pattern/passcode until the root process is done.
1. Download both the stock boot image for whatever build you're running and the Magisk or SuperSU zip. Transfer both files to your device's internal storage.
2. Reboot your phone into the bootloader, then open up your command prompt or terminal and flash the latest TWRP build for the device using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp.img
3. Once TWRP has finished flashing, reboot into your recovery. When prompted, enter your pattern/passcode/password to decrypt your data in order to gain access to your internal storage.
4. Once you're in TWRP, install the stock boot image and then the Magisk/SuperSU zip.
5. Whenever Magisk/SuperSU finishes installing, simply reboot your device! You should now be rooted.
*NOTE: TWRP will NOT remain installed on your device.

I realize all that, the issue is I cannot access any sort of recovery because I think my bootloader is defective.
For example from a cold restart if I press the power button for say 3 -5 seconds it wont boot, just boot to the Essential logo and loop. To get the phone to boot I have to hold the power down for 15-20 seconds while it bootloops a couple times then it'll boot.
Is there a possible way to reflash the bootloader software if it is defective? It's unlocked btw
There is a way to install magisk via fastboot with a patched_boot img which I'm working on. Cant seem to find the right boot img to patch for 8.1
PS Is it possible to flash .zips through fastboot? e.g. custom roms etc
Was finally able to get into recovery, so all is well. Thanks for the help yall
OP, what was your process to successfully get into recovery and fix your problems?
It may help others sometime?

It's really hard to say, my phone has a serious problem with it. sometimes I cant get it to boot, it will boot into the bootloader over and over and over. I've managed to get Lineage 15.1 on if for a bit until I tried to get back into the recovery which sent it manic.
I just got lucky I was able to get into TWRP and flash lineage.
my first issue not being able to flash the stock image via fastboot because I didn't unlock_critical which can sometimes fail when the usb connection is bad.
Currently flashing stock again if my phone will boot up. I'm not sure whats wrong with my bootloader but its causing a ton of havoc

Same boat for me - just keep rebooting to show Powered by Android Screen and then reboot again and again. Was able to see my device using fastboot devices command but all attempts to access recory just repeat the bootloop entry. I would happily check the OEM UNLOCK option in dev settings but can't even get it to book to any OS to make that option happen. Still shows bootloader locked on bootloader screen - any help someone can suggest?
I had this problem tonight also. In my case I suspect it had to do with the install of magisk in which I checked both boxes and patched the bootloader. on reboot I was stuck on boot. Just wanted to add my solution. I got the pie back to stock zip here https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681 then I put it into the adb folder and ran the flashall.bat script. I tried the no wipe one and it saved my information. very happy I didnt have to resetup my phone in the end.

I am in the same boat. I tried to re-install the OS, but because my USB debugging was not enabled, Fastboot worked but ADB would not and since I basically wiped the recovery area, my phone will only boot into Fastboot but will not allow any loading of recovery. I would pay for someone to help. This is so hard to figure out. I have contacted Essential but since my phone is over 12 months old, the warranty has expired.
Help please. It seems like such a waste to have a bricked phone.
Hello, I've recently been stumped. Last night I attempted to install Lineage OS on my Axon 7 A2017U. I used Axon7Toolkit to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. This was the first I've seen of the warning from google telling me to lock my bootloader. (My Motorola Nexus 6 never did this) So I ignored it until I had Lineage installed and when I tried to boot, the system was encrypted with a password. The internet said there is no password. I just have to wipe in TWRP. So I tried that to no avail. At that point I said screw this. I'm gonna go back to stock before I mess anything up. Flashed stock using MiFlash. Everything is good and dandy except that aforementioned warning message when booting. No matter what I try, I can't get into fastboot to lock the bootloader. Every time I try, it shows that message and boots normally. I've tried using "adb reboot bootloader" it went to the message and boots to OS. I tried holding power and volume up then selecting bootloader. Same result. I tried holding power and volume up then selecting recovery (this is when I realized TWRP was gone. It must have been overwritten when flashing stock firmware) and then reboot to bootloader. Same result. I really don't know what else to try. I guess I could ignore it, but that's really not what I'm looking for.

No, you don't have to WIPE in TWRP, you have to FORMAT DATA! It does roughly the same thing (you lose all your data and internal storage) but since the internal partition is encrypted, it de-encrypts it. To avoid having to lose the internal storage again you just have to flash Magisk or SuperSU right after flashing the ROM (before booting for the first time) and you'll be able to change ROMs with no problem. (but flash magisk right after changing the rom too, of course).
The unlocked bootloader disclaimer is completely normal, however if you're annoyed by it you can get rid of it by following Raystef66's guide called "remove unlocked bootloader inscription".
Happy flashing. Knowing all that, you can go back to Lineage or sth again. Just remember this: If you have access to EDL mode you can get out of the nastiest of bricks. And the A2017U defaults to EDL if there's something seriously wrong. So the U os basically unbrickable
p.s.: NFound's AEX bootloader comes premade so that you won't have the unlocked bootloader inscription. But you have to use one of the Oreo ROMs.
p.p.s.: You can reinstall fastboot and lock but it's just a very bad decision. Just ask if you ever have that sort of trouble, at least I will see it and reply

I'm not even sure if you can lock the bootloader in stock+ Oreo, but it should be possible. What you can do is go back to MM (MM B10 should be fine), then use a fastboot package for MiFlash (such as A2017U_FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL, it works even though you have a G) or maybe check if EDL Tool has an option to install fastboot, i don't remember.
The other way around it is not locking it and just using a modified bootloader to conceal the 5 second screen. Good enough for sending the phone with warranty. If you'll sell it you might be able to sell it for more if the bootloader is unlocked

Thanks I checked the Axon 7 Toolkit and turns out it does have fastboot unlock as part of the process of unlocking the bootloader. Though it techinically doesn't support Oreo I chose the nougat one and it still did the trick albeit with another hardbrick, once locking the bootloader I had to wait for the battery to drain again before I could get into EDL and flash back to Oreo. Very painful proccess, would not recommend, should have just used your method of going back to marshmallow locking then updating again. Thanks anyway mate, the help was much appreciated.

I never mentioned the axon7toolkit. That one is finicky, I don't recommend it. I was talking about EDL Tool (you might even find it if you google it), it's here in the ROMs, kernels, development section.

you need to flash original stock rom for your device trough edl. (rom your device came from factory,you need B11 marshmallow)
then boot into system,unlock developer options.Allow oem unlock and turn on usb debugging.Now connect phone to laptop and check the dialogue on your phone that ask for usb debug.Unplug phone.
When you did this you want to flash TWRP trough EDL.
Now boot in TWRP and flash UnlockbootloaderPackage from DrakenFX.
Reboot system.
Now turn off your device and boot into fastboot,connect your phone with laptop and open ADB terminal on your laptop or use Axon7toolkit.
In terminal enter fastboot oem lock,or in axon7toolkit choose lock bootloader.
Your bootloader is now locked.
PS: you dont need locked bootloader to recieve ota's,and make sure you are on the firmware your device came shipped with!!
You need a locked bootloader to get rid of the warning message ( dont flash any mod package that claims it delete the warning page)
