Is there an up to date guide for Rooting A2017G B04?

I am looking unlock and root my European Axon 7 running Android 7.1, and all of the guides seem to be for The US version and for Android marshmallow, do I need to revert my phone to an older version (if so how would I go around doing so?). Is there any up to date guides for rooting my version of the phone?

I used this guide 2 weeks ago to unlock my wife's german axon 7, her phone was on 7.1 stock too, but no issue, you don't have to be on marshmallow. Only advice I can give you is to read the guide 2 times or more and take your time.
Btw after you done everything use the b05 modem, my wife has no call issues with this version. I flashed the dark rom to her phone, works nearly perfect.

Why though? I also used that one, but you should try axon7toolkit. It seemingly does everything automatically and with an ok CMD interface

Yes that's a nice option too, but reading, understanding and knowing what you're doing always works. I'm not a fan of Kit's.
personal choice I think. But you're right.

It seems like very few people actually use the kit. Kinda defeats the purpose.
But yeah, that guide was how I learnt how to install TWRP via axon7tool whenever I needed it.

Toolkit or step by step with the guide ? just start from scratch again, or try with the kit.

Step by Step, I managed to unlock it and flash the bootstack, but I hit an error when trying to flash LOS and so decided to reboot the system and try again, however when rebooting the system I got the error "Your device software can't be checked for corruption, Please lock the bootloader". And I cant seem to access TWRP anymore, just the stock recovery.
Im just wondering if I can just flash stock because I cant use my phone at all atm

Then flash twrp again, if your on stock recovery. You need twrp. Something must replaced twrp with the stock recovery.
After you flashed twrp use the files from the official Los thread
Bootloader and modem.

Unfortunately I cant seem to view the phone as an adb device, unless i select the "Apply update from adb" option in the stock recovery, however this only lets me sideload and i cant reboot it to edl mode or anything like that to install TWRP.

What happens if you are on stock recovery and type adb reboot edl. Another way to get to edl mode can be to shut down the phone and press both volume keys while connecting the USB cable, I read that somewhere here, may need some trys.
Btw,
"Your device software can't be checked for corruption" this is normal if your unlocked.

I tried the volume button thing and it must have worked because i redid the scripts and managed to get TWRP back up!
now I just need to do the universal bootstack, the N_Modem thing, and then LOS Right?
Thanks so much for your help

Good, you did it. Yes, after you flashed the latest official twrp,
flash the bootloader zip and modem zip which are linked at the first page of the Los thread, then your prefered rom with gapps and root if you like.
DON'T relock your bootloader !!!
Have fun!

[HELP] I would like to go into developer options but I can not

Hello to all,
first of all sorry for my English, i'm using google translate, I do not know if you can help me here.
I bought this jewel from Gearbest and arrived yesterday.
I would like to unlock the bootloader and root it following this wonderful guide , but I can not get into developer options, I get the error "the settings application crashed abnormally"
I wanted to do this via the toolkit, but in EDL mode the phone is not recognized, maybe because in developer options I have to select the OEM UNLOCK.
The only good thing is that it recognizes usb debugging mode (at least I think) because I see the debug notification icon.
I can not understand where it came from, I went into bootloader mode but did not release me information.
From the onscreen screen I can only provide these info:
model number zte a2017g
version android 6.0.1
kernel version 3.18.20
build number zte a2017gv1.0.0b11
baseband version th.2.0.c1.9-00050-m8996faaaanazm
The MiFlavor version is 4.0
The smartphone does not receive OTA updates. I downloaded the global version (b05) of Nougat, the update with Android started I did not find it (I renamed the rom file in update.zip and put in the root of the SD CARD). I tried through recovery mode but it does not do anything to me, it's as if the smartphone was locked in everything and for everything.
I'm doing well ? How do I update when I download the rom? Can you please help me? Is there any system to interact with this smartphone and unlock it? I do not want to keep a phone that I can not update and root it.
Thanks in advance to who will help.

UPDATE:
I tried to manually install the downloaded ROM, but in recovery mode it does not flash the new rom ... the phone does not even try it !!!
It's as if the phone was locked in everything and I only have to keep the installed rom.
Some idea ?

Hey I would recommend clearing the data for settings if you can. To do this go to your launcher, find the settings icon and either drag or hold down or do whatever it takes to get to the app info. I haven't used stock in a long time so idk. But then go into storage and clear data. Then go and try again.
I do have one question though. How did you get usb adb debugging enabled if you didn't get into developer options at all?
For the second half of your question you won't be able to flash anything without first unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP onto the device. For the devices recovery idk which one you meant, but it needs to be TWRP. Good luck!

Thanks to my friend, without doing anything, suddenly, he made me enter the developer options menu.
I've been able to do the rest.
Now I have the phone with unlocked bootloader, root and TWRP installed.
Do not ask me how I got the debug without going into the menu, I could not answer you ... it will remain a mystery !!!
I take advantage of your availability: can I flash the zip of the official ROM through TWRP? Or is there a risk that the phone goes into brick mode?

You can't flash an official zip through TWRP, it will just fail. No brick.
Edit: didn't read OP lol. If you want to update, you have to flash the stock recovery (there are stock recovery flashable zips on the Download Center) then install the update, then get TWRP again. Or you can install a custom ROM (I recommend one based on stock MiFavor 5.0, I think that the best one is ADM Team V3 (the one that's not based on B13), this way you can simply download, flash in TWRP, and you'll be done

I installed the rom that you suggested to me, I find it very good, but this phone has very poor support (MiFavor).

Very poor support? It's going to get Android O, and it's got at least 1 update per month (officially). It's unclear whether that ROM you installed will be updated since it's based on an older version, but the latest (B13) breaks a bunch of stuff like Google Play Games, Maps, the GPS works awfully...

No no ... do not get me wrong.
My reference is to rom, MiFlavor is really bad. I come from 3 Xiaomi smartphones and I can assure you is another world.
The smartphone is really nice and well balanced (apart from the just enough battery) and I would replenish it a thousand times. :fingers-crossed::good:

Please Recommend Me The Top 2/3 Most Stable Slim Roms - New Axon 7 User!

I hate asking this as each has his own preference, however, I have only just ordered my ZTE Axon device as it was such a good offer, being even cheaper than brand new 2018 mid rangers! I purchased the device brand new and sealed for just £193 ($274) so you cannot go wrong.
My current phone was the Sony Xperia XZ Premium but I am giving it away to my wife and need another to replace it.
After some reading it seems the first thing I need to do is install all drivers and run the Axon 7 Tool kit. This will unlock bootloader, root and flash recovery from my understanding.
Then I can proceed to installing a custom rom of my choice followed by immediately flashing a modem otherwise I will not have any signal. Would this be everything needed to successfully running a custom rom trouble free?
Lastly, I would like a simple rom, preferably based on stock/vanilla Android, slim and bloat free. Something very basic, bug free and made for pure speed and decent battery. What are the top recommended roms with this regard? I did look into these, anything better? What are the differences? Thank you so much for your advise.

As for the SL!M roms i made ( making some advertisement here ) i only can advise looking at these ones as they are aroma roms and can be debloated further. Battery tweak is included and choice between SuperSU and Magisk is possible. These roms are stock-based as to preserve, imo, the sound quality of the phone as it came out of the box. No bug issues imo and fully up to date :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3716825
Based on MiFavor5.0 (CN) but fully applyable on all versions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3735003
Based on stock G version but fully applyable on all versions and with the latest security patches of the A2017G-N(ougat)-B09
But then again others can comment on my slim roms better then i can perhap :cyclops:
Futhermore i do not advice https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-version-t3704143 as it is was my first version of MiFavor 5.0. Instead use the first link.
Didn't used the last one you mentioned based on LOS but others can advice more into this.
Good Luck and ENJOY !

^ Thank you very much raystef66 for your speedy response! I will go for this version - https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-slm-dfnr-t3735003
Fingers crossed I should receive my Axon 7 Sunday or Monday at the very latest. First Thing I'll run the Axon 7 Toolkit so that I can unlock the bootloader, have recovery and root then I'll be able to flash your rom, looking forward into doing so!
I'll keep you informed in the coming days when complete. :good:

Yeah, very exciting isn't it :good: It's a damn good phone, quick, nice quality screen and an amazing sound... !
I assume you'll get the G version ? The SL!M➃ is based on this G-version (btw, take a look at the DownloadCenter to have all necessary files) and keeps all things to stock. Just some minor mods and improvements, nothing fancy as to stay stock. With the battery tweak included i always get >7h SOT. But that depends of course on usage. But then again i do alot in a day . Some others have no benefit on the battery tweak but i'll hope you end up with a descent SOT.
Keep us posted :good:

Sounds good! I would be happy with around 7 hours SOT. Once received I'll let you know what version I receive, however, I'm guessing I'll get the Chinese version as it's coming from Dubai, UAE (Middle East) and most likely it'll come from China and not EU as it's much closer.
I have everything ready accept for a flashable TWRP. The link appears down for me and I was not able to find a flashable version, could you please give me a link of a working one? I was only able to find a non flashable version which is run via CMD/fastboot commands.
I would much rather a flashable recovery in which I can flash once installing your rom along with SuperSU or Magisk. Regards!

The TWRP is inside the toolkit, so you can flash it downthere imo. Never done this that way though as in those early days i used this one to do everything. But use the toolkit and you're good to go.

Ah good to hear, glad it's included in the kit. So I can simply use the one from the kit to flash recovery after flashing your rom? Because in the instructions it mentions we have to manually flash recovery after the rom.

That depends. I dont know what version of twrp is installed via the toolkit. Perhaps it checkes for the latest when it updates but not sure. But if a certain version is installed which is not the latest, put the latest twrp.img onto your int or extSD and flash via your twrp you've installed.
Second, if your phone would be an CN version and not a G, you'll have to install the Universal BL and your specific modem as described in the rom thread. You can find them in the link of the rom thread. So, after installing the Universal BL (which has an older version of twrp !) , you'd have to install the latest via twrp too. So just flash the twrp image and you're good to go.
Btw, i made a flashable zip before of that Universal BL which replaces the old twrp with the 3.1.1.0 version, which will do fine too.
Here's the link : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329066038 (it also works on the SLIM4 as it just replaces twrp)
So after installing this version, you dont need to flash another twrp (as it brings you to the 3.1.1.0 as said)

Uuhh. I think you'll get the G version. Anything else than China and US gets G. With that said, I recommend you two things:
- (If you get a G) Use Controllerboy's guide instead of the toolkit. Lately a lot of stuff is going wrong with the toolkit
-Whatever happens, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER.
-Once you have TWRP, just follow the instructions on each ROM. Never flash stuff from other models.
-Take the TWRP img either from raystef66's download center or from twrp.me

Will do. You are right, the toolkit automatically checks for the latest update and it finds version 3.1.1.0.

I did see on the forum users attempting to relock the bootloader and it worsened things, I will not attempt this.
Should be able to let you know tomorrow or the day after what version I get and hopefully when I successfully gain recovery and root access!
I just hope I don't get the dead microSD bug that many people have mentioned. Top of the range 64Gb/128Gb MicroSD cards can be costly so I would not like to have them corrupted!

@raystef66, Do you have any other download links for your rom aside from androidfilehost? I tried several different servers but all keep randomly freezing otherwise saying 5 hours, 6 hours, 11 hours and 15 hours. Extremely slow download.

If you want to try a more Android vanilla ROM, then I suggest AICP. Be sure to use the unofficial builds by genesixxbf3. They are very stable and have good features.

Yeah, sometime AFH can be cruel. Just depends. I tried the Washington DC just a moment and no problems there. I just advice, take one and let it take it's time. Some way or another the download speed gets stable enough And then again, you still have a bit of time don't you or has it dropped of yet with the postman :cyclops: Do I Hear a heartbeat there ? :good:

Haha, no, not yet received! Where I am living at the moment, the weekend is Friday and Saturday, Sunday to Thursday work, strange but that's the way it is.
The seller estimates the item to arrive on Sunday or Monday, hopefully Sunday.
In the end the Netherland's sever finally managed to get me the 2.1Gb download complete. I did try others but were slower. Good thing in your rom you included the 3 different models for the Axon 7. I'm yet to see which one I receive!

Confirmed G version received.

Not working, been trying for hours.
Not connecting despite all drivers installed, including Qualcom driver. Followed all instructions as stated. Stuck from number 20. When entering this command I get ''failed to connect''
When typing in adb devices it finds my device.
1) Backup all the data of your phone's internal memory that you don't want to lose. Copy it to your PC
2) Download the axon7tool from here: http://www.filedropper.com/axon7tool-15-win64
3) Download minimal adb and fastboot from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767103465
4) Unzip the minimal adb and fastboot file, place the folder with the files in it somewhere you can easily find it
5) Place the axon7tool exe in the same folder as adb.exe and rename it to "axon7tool.exe" (it's easier to work with that way)
6) Download the TWRP .img and .bin files from here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4...nlaZU1NRldoRjA
7) Place the TWRP .img file in the same folder as "adb.exe" and "axon7tool.exe", rename it to "recovery.img"
8) Make a copy of the "recovery.img" file and name it "recovery.bin". Leave it in the same folder
9) Go to settings in your phone and go to "About Phone". Tap "Build Number" 7 times to make the Developer Options available
10) Go to "Developers options" and tick "Allow OEM unlock" and "Android Debugging"
11) Connect your Axon 7 to your PC
12) Open a command window by holding shift and right-clicking in a blank space in the folder where the "adb.exe", " axon7tool.exe", "recovery.img" and "recovery.bin" files are located. Click "Open command window here"
13) Type "adb devices" and hit enter. You should see one device with some code listed
14) Type "adb reboot edl" and hit enter. Your device will reboot to EDL mode. It appears to be off, but it is in fact in EDL mode.
15) Go to Device Manager on your pc and verify your Axon 7 is listed as "QUSB_BULK"
16) In command, type "axon7tool -r gpt boot recovery" and hit enter
17) After it is executed, your phone will reboot. Wait until it has fully booted.
18) In command, type "adb reboot edl"
19) Verify you now have 3 backup files in your ADB folder for gpt, recovery and boot. These are backup files in case something goes wrong
20) In command, type "axon7tool -w recovery" - STUCK HERE - FAILED

You're on nougat ? Look into about phone for that.
Afaik, you'll have to be on MM. So downgrade/rollback if on Nougat (look into DownloadCenter for B10 or B11) and do the procedure all over again.
Imo it's due to that.
edit: sure you have the recovery.img and bin in your adb folder ?

Should work then.
Can you download recovery again. Check all characters if they're all written ok.
Sure the toolkit cannot bring enlightment too ?

bricked my P Smart flashing LOS 15.1

Hi folks,
I bricked my P Smart 2018.
I wanted to flash LOS 15.1 to it following these instructions step by step.
- Huawei USB Drivers installed on PC.
- Bootloader unlocked
- adb/fastboot installed
- TWRP installed
- Backup taken
- Cache wiped
Last step, flashing LOS, failed.
The state of the P Smart right now:
- LOS has not been flashed
- the OS is wiped
- TWRP only starts into bootscreen, after some seconds the phone is reset and Huawei eRecovery shows up. No chance to restore the backup.
- adb can't connect to the phone
- the phone shows up in the device manager as 'Linux File-CD Gadget USB Device'.
No access to the phone via PC, drivers had been correctly installed.
Is there a chance to get TWRP working on the phone, access the phone via PC?

Don't use methods from getdroidtips ever again. Those dudes don't know how ****ty Huawei is and think you can flash GSIs like on anyother phone.
Just boot to eRecovery and click "Download latest version and recovery". It will restore the stock EMUI 8, then you can flash other roms. Make sure you have a good WiFi signal.

Yeah, eRecovery worked like a charme. Phone is up and running normally with the latest firmware.
Thanks a lot!

So you don't think that there is a chance to get LOS running on a Huawei P Smart?

Actually there is. Search for OpenKirin and there should be a LOS build. It's pretty stable but battery is bad. You can also check LOS by Haky 86. Works better on P smart because is built for Hi6250. I'll leave the link below. Make sure you follow the flashing steps, otherwise you will end up using eRecovery again ?

Thanks, I will check those ROMs out.
Do you use one of them?

Which brand fits best for flashing LOS or other custom ROMs? Xiaomi? Samsung?

On Xiaomi you can flash basically every rom cuz they got a beast development. Samsung is ok aswell.
I used almost every treble rom available. Some of them are not booting and some of them ar not stable... So I ended up using stock EMUI and waiting to buy a new phone. I'm tired of Huawei

Stock 10 via Odin

Can the new stock 10 be flash with Odin without relocking the bootloader?

Why not flash it unlock again?

Hi Lewmur
Yes I did it 2 weeks ago boot loader stayed unlocked all through
Followed same instructions with latest magisk
Love the new dark mode,
I was happy with 9 pie and only did it because I messed up, tried to use twrp backup and ended in bootloop
Having installed patched twrp on rooted Android 10 stock I have a message every reboot which says " There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details."
This does not affect the tablet in any way but if you or anybody else knows which file needs changing I would like to get rid of the message
Thanks

I haven't seen that message in a while, but it is meaningless. Just ignore it.

As mentioned it doesn't matter, but did you use the same patched file from Android 9? You need to make a new file for Android 10. All new files, and TWRP,. VbMeta files have been made for Android 10. You will get that message if the dates don't match. Not a big deal. I made a new file, no warning.

Thanks for finding out the reason
It is possible that I used an old file bu I don't remember doing it.
My tablet is running very sweet so I am just going to ignore the message and not risk messing things up
All the best
