I tried to unlock the boot loader of the axon 7 which I believe is required to root the device, never been successful. I tried following the root method without unlocking the boot loader, but never was successful. May be I am naive at rooting, but I am still a fan of it. Please help root my axon 7 with the simplest steps.

I don't want lost my warranty and for many others reasons, i don't want unlock my bootloader. I see many people saying "you want root with a locked bootloader ? Unlock your bootloader !" To this people, i say "no". Why i would take the risk to cancel my warranty for that ? Many devices with a locked bootloader will be upgraded to lollipop. So this is my question, any chances to get root with a locked bootloader ?
Here And then go here
And in any case, it can be done, depending on what state your tablet is currently in.
I'm on Lollipop, rooted and still with a locked bootloader.
If you're already on Lollipop without a custom recovery, you may be out of luck or will just have to wait.
If you've got a custom recovery, or are still on KitKat, it can be done. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2945044
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using XDA Free mobile app
I was so ecstatic when I got the tablet, I ran the OTA to Lollipop before using towelroot.
I followed the steps using adb
The tools they provide using the root method through; pushing recovery.img from bootloader, etc. Worked well
I was really amazed how fast I upgraded, before I knew it, towelroot said "device is not supported" I about wined.
On lollipop (from immediately upgrading from Kitkat), and have root using the adb method
-to unlock bootloader (oem unlock)
-push recovery.img (provided in link)
-install the lastest SU from the recovery (CWM v6)
reboot
The steps to re-enable bootloader lock is simple
adb oem unlock
If anyone would like assistance I would be happy to help.
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.
Hello!
I am in need for help. I been fiddling around with the phone to update it to the latest version, A2017G Nougat B10. However now I am stuck with no bootloader or fastboot.
Looking through the forum only gives me fragmented answers and no proper structure. I have already the drivers and tools ready to use however I can't get the phone into bootloader mode nor fastboot. It will just restart and say the bootloader is unlocked and proceed to go on.
I wish to get the bootloader and fastboot back to normal aswell get it locked.
Is there a step to step guide?
Thanks in advance.
I typed the code into my keypad and it went to system settings and it said I can't bootloader unlock this phone. Apparently I need this to grant permission for root. How do I root this particular phone? I managed to get a systemless root on my galaxy s5 by using TWRP to flash Majisk, although TWRP doesn't work for this phone. How can I actually root this phone. I would prefer to root with Majisk but honestly, I'd appreciate to know any way that I can really. Much appreciated!
if the unlock bootloader ALLOWED : is NO
then sorry sir
you cannot root this device!
There is a version of TWRP recovery for this phone which you have to flash to the boot partition, but I think in order to do this you need to have your bootloader unlocked. If your service menu says this option is disabled, then you're out of luck. :/ Sorry.
1. Go to Sony Developer site. Get bootloader unlockin code for your IMEI.
2. Dowload flashtool 9.25 with drivers.
3. In Developer menu tick allow OEM unlocking and USB debug.
I did it for my. It was not allowed to unlock bootloader first, but flashtool does it (in two steps)
i unlock the bootloader ,but i cant root this phone.
i try many ways but its faild.
plz help me to root my phone
old post I know, but did you get this rooted at all? as I have the phone (5 years now) and want to get a different OS on it to de-google it - but I'm new to it all, I have flashed firmware on other devices but never ventured into mobiles
cheers
Hi everyone,
my v20 h990ds ( stock without root ) is in bootloop.
When i tried the "DirtySanta" solution, i can do the steps on my device ( bootloop ). So i decide to unlock the bootloader.
I come from the nexus community, so i have searched for a solution by fastboot.
Now then i try to ask to the LG from my "unlock.bin" file, it says that my phone is not unlockable (wtf?).
Searching in to the forum, i read about the "download mode", but when i try to jump in, my phone reboot itself after 4 seconds. Is it normal?
Do you have another solution for my phone?

are you following the directions here > https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/dirtysanta-h990-t3624296
The dirtysanta hack is the unlocked bootloader, it installs the Eng Aboot specifically for devices that cant be unlocked.

Some of those points in the guide, requests that the phone is on.
For example, install Terminal Emulator ecc...
If I try to load the TWRP recovery, with fastboot, the phone says that I need to unlock the bootloader.
