Bricked A2017G B03 - help please - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Hello!
As title says i bricked my Axon :crying:
I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68738854&postcount=100 (and the german one that linked to this one) but couldnt do the fastboot unlock.
So i couldnt finish this and my phone required a pin number to start android: bootet and started up but wanted a pin code to start/enter system.
Wasnt able to fix that with googling for answers so i went back to edl mode and rewrote my backup boot/recovery images with axon7backup.
Had no errors with that but it wont start now:
After the ZTE Logo the display goes black but it connects as "handset diagnostic interface (DFU) (ComX)" to my computer.
I fiddled around with driver installing etc and forced the HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on it but no luck, axon7backup/root can not connect.
When i did the actual flashing yesterday it never connected with the hold both vol-keys and connect usb way either, always had to reboot into edl via adb.
I cant boot anything else (no twrp/recovery) it just goes to the diagnostic interface mode.
Thanks in advance

you can try to get into adb mode with this:
- power off your device
- hold the vol down key while plugin in the usb-c cable (connected to your pc)
- keep holding
- you should get a white box with FTM factory test mode
- you are free to use adb again - so you can get into edl mode as well....
for pin part that'S normal while unlocking your device encryption gets deleted and you have to abort and factory reset your device in twrp....

Thanks. I tried it but it wont go to FTM. Only goes to diagnostic com port.
It seems i cant even turn it off. The little red light on the front is on the whole time .

sadly the disadvantage of a built in battery, so you have to wait till the battery is empty and try my instructions then....if it's not realy off it won't work, the mode you are currently in you usually only reach if you switch it on while holding both volume buttons, the edl mode is sadly not reachable with a key combination directly on G models.

adb don't show your device?

Oh ok. I expected ftm to work from vol-down and power-button till restart.
@adb: sadly no connection possible since it goes straight to Comport Connection.
Edit:
Couldnt make that work. It was off and i connected the usb. So it showed me the loading battery picture where i cant do anything. held the vol-down the whole time. But as soon as it had some battery it went straight to comport-connection again

im sorry to say, but ur device is bricked to a degree where you would need ZTEs Flashtool to fix it. Unfortunately we dont have that tool, so you might have to send it in

i have the same exact problem :'(
Have u been able to fix it?? I'm in a situation that i cant even send it to ZTE to fix it :'(

Hi,
couldnt fix it myself so i had to send it in.
Unless some tool/rom was released in the last few months to fix it yourself i would guess your device is bricked.

Hi I have almost the same problem, I tried to unlock bootloader and now I don't have the recovery, I can boot and use my mobile but I can't restore it or update it because I don't have the recovery
I try whit axon7tool to restore the recovery but I got a error.

Hi, do you have any idea, if there will be such a flashtool to work with DFU mode? I'm thinking that there are a lot of guys have bricked their devices (including me).

[SOLVED] A2017G Hard brick, Unauthroized ADB and DFU Only.

Hey guys,
Guess today it was my turn ****ing up.
I apparently have completely bricked my Axon 7 after trying to go from LOS 15.1 to stock oreo beta. The only thing I seem to be able to boot to is DFU mode and for some reason, if I press the Power button + Vol Down I will get stuck on the ZTE Logo and my PC will detect my phone through the ADB interface but every time I try doing something it says my device is unauthorized. Is there any way I can authorize the device whilst being completely bricked?
The only other thing I get is the unlocked bootloader warning screen. If I don't press anything the phone will be stuck there, if I select recovery the phone will simply shut down and anything else will result in a reboot. I have also tried a deep flash cable that that only results on the phone being stuck at the unlocked bootloader screen.
I cannot access the bootloader,
I cannot access EDL mode
I can access ADB, but device shows as unauthorized.
I can access DFU mode.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have looked at the Hard brick guide that involves taking the phone apart but that's not something I really want to do.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: My phone gets detected by MiFlash but every time I try flashing I get a cannot receive hello packet and object reference not set to an instance of an object.
ZTE axon 7 EDL tool detects it in ADB mode but says ERROR! NO ANSWER FROM PHONE!. Possibly since its not authorized with ADB.
Ouh....DFU? I think this thing is totally bricked.
I can access my phone in ADB. If only I could make it reboot to edl or something like that through ADB even though my device shows as unauthorized. That is the only problem why this thing is completely messed up.. ADB works but I can't do anything with it because my phone shows unauthorized. Does anyone know if there's a workround or a bypass for that?

Hi Victor !
Like we discussed before there is nothing much left as to use the DFU unbrick-disassemble guide or buy something like this to be sure you tried everything.
Good Luck mate !

Thank you for your help . It's a risk you take when flashing phones.
Can you get custom recovery in it some recovery allow you to get in to EDM from there you can flash stock rom with Mi flash tool.......try to push both volume buttons at the same time don't touch the power button this might get you in to EDM.

Nothing, you'll have to use my guide for that (the one that raystef linked). Otherwise try entering FTM mode (Power and Vol-) but it's surely not gonna work. If it does, you'll see a screen with a square that says "FTM", and you'll be able to do " adb reboot edl" and flash stuff from there.
Unbricking by disassembing the phone is the most reliable method; an EDL cable just might save you the hassle but it's not guaranteed to work; some phones won't accept it for some reason. In this case just follow the guide unless you want to try your luck with an EDL cable

Hello. Thank you for your advices, it is as I feared.
I have however already bought another Axon 7 which I'm using at the moment, and I have plans for mine since it was only bought new about 8 months ago and I believe I could get a replacement for a fee even if its bricked to fault of my own. So I will try that since I'm not in a rush.
This thread can be closed.
Cheers!

In that case you can just pretend that the phone got in that state by itself, it's not too morally correct but some people here pulled it off...
twice now i have gotten an axon 7 into this state. while mine have been a2017u models, i dont know that they are different than yours in that regard.
What worked for me the first time was letting the phone completely die. Being unable to boot into anything, it was somewhat a task to actually make it die, so i kept powering it on (which merely made the red led indicator come on). i did this over and over again over the course of a day at work whenever i noticed it had powered off.
eventually, the phone had no response at all. then, i plugged it up to my laptop, and left it, convinced i had killed it. a dialogue popped up after a minute or two on the phone screen saying to charge the phone by plugging it up. i had no access to fastboot or EDL mode prior. once i got that 'plug in to charge' screen, i switched it to the wall charger, and left it to charge a bit (50-60%) from that state, then, i unplugged it again, and somehow, i managed to get edl mode to work by unplugging it and pressing all three buttons and holding them (typical edl boot).
once there, i reflashed via MiFlash an earlier build. i rolled back using MiFlash as far back as i could. in the process, i lost my imei and serial, which i have yet to successfully recover, but i did get out of DFU pergatory. the imei thing seems to be caused by going back to MM which i did on both of my IMEI-less a2017u boards, but im only guessing. my dd axon 7 is the only one of the three boards with imei and serial, so maybe MM is a bad idea. lol.
The first time i recovered from DFU, i did it inadvertently by letting the phone die and then flashing in EDL mode as well. (i left it for a few weeks as i had given up on it.) after it died completely, and i plugged ut up to the computer and had the same experience, I flashed the beta oreo build for a2017 using miflash. the screen had stopped responding. and i ended up doing a RMA. I now know the screen response thing was bc of a faulty EDL file of B15. (happened again to another of my axon, so i retraced my steps and realized it was when i flashed b15 that it died) . the fix if your screen ever stops responding, but isnt physically damaged? re-flash via EDL a different file. it may take a few tries, but eventually a build will work. for me, it was Marshmallow. I still do not know for certain, but that possibly is what killed my IMEI. but hey, it boots and the screen works.
I genuinely hope posting my idiocy in toying with axon 7s has helped someone out there.

MI 9T Brick, need help for EDL steps

Hello guys, how are you today ?
I will do my best to write properly (french, sad)
So, i unlocked my phone with no problem. I tried to install a working TWRP. The ADB command to install was easy, but impossible to boot in twrp with the boot command on ADB.
I understood that i just needed to press up and power to open TWRP.
I putted on my OTG USB KEY the xiaomi.eu weekly ROM for my phone.
I formated only DATA, and i began the installation.
I had an error, and after my OTG was not recognize.
I just putted up and power to reboot the phone and try again.
But i dont know what happened, black screen, impossible to boot on something, i tryed to hold power 15 sec and nothing work, impossible to go to fastboot mode.
The phone is recognized on windows but nothing more.
I searched on the net and my phone is bricked. I need to open it to press ELD.
I found someone who has ELD permission for 12$.
Now i just want to know if someone can explain me how to open without damage the phone and how to be in ELD mode.
Thanks you and have a nice day.
I guess you could try to buy an EDL cable instead.
How you see phone in device manager?

Can you get into fastboot
My phone was completely stuck in black screen impossible to go on fastboot mode.
Luckely, i dont know how but my phone was recognized like if i was in EDL mode.
I contacted an asian man on WhatsApp, he putted his logs on miflash to allowed EDL flash.
My phone is Alive now!
Where Can i buy an EDL cable if i need it ? It replace the open of the phone?

Issues with Recovery Mode, Bootlooping, Flashing, EDL, and ADB Commands

Not sure how to title this forum post, but this is the best I got. Forgive my ignorance and lack of knowledge on these topics.
I was trying to root my Axon 7 mini. After some searching to find out how to unlock the bootloader (like needing JDK, older Android SDK version to run android.bat, etc.), I finally got it to work. Ran Recovery to "apply update from SD Card" (can not remember the file right now) and was then ready to load TWRP Recovery. When I rebooted to the recovery TWRP image, it told me something failed and the phone had to be factory reset. I took my SD card out in fear of my data being deleted and "accidentally" clicked the power button. It then reloaded with a password prompt where I typed some random password (1234 because I never set a pin password nor knew what to do here), clicked submit, and then gave me some error; now my phone doesn't work.
The Problem:
- I can enter bootloader, sometimes, but can only run fastboot commands; adb device does not detect phone so can't run adb commands (always says the server is old or something and reloads daemon successfully but never finds my device regardless). Also, I don't think I can get it to run in EDL mode; MiFlash gives out errors too when trying to flash recovery images.
- Recovery mode doesn't appear or work; not sure if the MiFavor command prompts on the phone is recovery or not, but it's safe to say this no longer appears. This is also where I believe the phone bootloops. I can get the fastboot commands to flash a TWRP recovery, but it never actually enters the TWRP dashboard.
- Can not turn off the phone... I think. None of the command options that appear on-phone shut it off; however, when the screen does stay black, I'm not sure if it's in EDL mode or plainly off.
- Device Manager shows the phone as different stuff (namely Kedacom USB Device and Portable Devices/MTB USB Device). Sometimes Qualcomm appears, but it depends. More often than not, when my device does appear, there's either an error code (like Code 10, Code 43) and/or the device is grayed out.
Conclusion:
I just want to get my phone to work normally again, if possible. Currently, I locked the oem to see if fastboot commands could still work and now I'm stuck at the ZTE logo, so can't try to unlock it right now. What are the proper tools, drivers, programs, etc I need to get this phone back to normal? I've scoured the web and these forums for 2 days now with no luck and lots of either missing info or obscure info.
I bought this at Best Buy, so I'm assuming it's US Axon7 Mini version in terms of drivers (not sure if the box specifies any info that could be useful here).
Un-brick Axon 7 Mini
Dear all,
I experienced the same issue with my phone after I tried to flash it with custom ROMs and recovery.
I thought I lost it as I was not able to enter adb mode (not recognized on the PC) or even not able to enter EDL mode with the button combination so not able to do anything with it.
Only watch it boot and display the ZTE logo.
After some research, here is what I had to do to get it recovered.
First thing you need to get is an EDL cable.
I let you search on your favorite site. Mine was a Generic eDL Deep Flash Qualcomm 9008 Cable 2 in 1 for Z3 X/Octopus.
Until you receive it, make sure you have the latest Qualcomm drivers installed on your PC.
You can find it easily.
Then, connect your phone and your PC with the EDL cable.
Press the button on your EDL cable (there should be one) for a few seconds and keep it pressed.
Then, press the power button and keep it pressed for at least 20 seconds.
At this stage, you should have both buttons pressed and after some time, you should feel the phone rebooting.
After 20 seconds, release the power button.
Then, after 10 other seconds, release the EDL cable button.
At this stage, your phone screen should stay black and your phone should appear in the device manager as Qualcomm USBHUB (or somehting similar)
You are in EDL mode and should be able to perform a recovery flashing using tuliptool.
Then I followed the steps I found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7-mini/how-to/updating-uk-version-zte-axon-7-mini-to-t3717933
If you are still stuck, pm me.
Be patient, all will be fine,

I had a feeling an EDL cable was my only option left given everything I've looked up and the multiple methods I've tried. Wanted to avoid spending money on one but doesn't look like I have a choice given the circumstances - oh well. Regardless, thank you for the response and advice. Have to wait a while, though, to get the cable and test to see if this works.
If anyone else ever ends up in the same royally screwed situation as me, getting an EDL cable - or DIY one if you wanna be cheap and are confident enough to do so - is probably your saving grace.

Help sort of "bricked" phone to unbrick!

My Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 is stuck on the screen," Powered by Android". I have neither rooted nor unlocked the bootloader. I had received the error of "Your device is corrupted" and had followed the guide to remove that. For a month, my phone lagged and had a drop in battery. Restarting it has caused it to not work.Now, it's showing no signs of starting. Any help will be sincerely appreciated!

go for qfil then but use 059 qfil otherwise 130 qfill u will lose your persist,factory,fsg partition. doownload 059 fastboot rom . it is combined fastboot qfill rom. use it same as other qfill rom but choose here ww_no-nfc_no-fsg raw program.
btw your device showing powered by android that means u can go into fastboot mode and recovery mode both. just press and hold power button untill u see restart of ur screen. as soon as u see that press violume up along with power key. u will def get acess to fastboot mode.

Didn't worked.. QFIL s/w was not able to detect the port even after connecting the mobile.. Tried to completely discharge and recharge hoping it would work.. Now, its not even recharging.. Nothing works now..Feels like a motherboard problem now..Should I rebuy the 4GB version or look for another mobile?
Try asus service center

motherboard issue not lead to sudden death of phone. did u encounter random reboot before every 10-20 mins if not no worry.
for qfill u have to turn off your phone and press vol + and vol - together and have to connect your hpone with pc. check device manager of pc it will show port and comt device 2-3 mins after successfull qualcomm diag port driver installation.

Didn't had any random reboot stuff. I thought voltage fluctuations might have affected it. I had charged it at the Airport the same day the phone gave up. The QFIL software was not able to detect port even while pressing vol+ and vol- .Service Centre tells me its a PCB problem and are asking 3k for repair. Looks like a new phone is somewhere in the line for future.

Redmi 7A Dead, No display, no fastboot, no recovery

I have some previous threads on my Redmi 7A dead... but no one responded, some did but said I can't fix it, buy a new phone. I am not in a financial condition to buy a new phone. All I can do is fix this phone and continue using it till I get a new phone. But since 3 weeks I am not able to use my Redmi 7A. I was hopeless that this phone could be repaired or could be used again but I went through a few videos on YouTube and saw a ray of hope but still I was helpless I tried booting it into EDL mode using the test point method but nothing worked out. Please I NEED HELP to fix this phone. I have a brief description below of the timeline about how it
crashed, how it was in the service center, what happened after it.
Alright so,
At March 13, It was on AOD (I know it is not supported keep reading), running nusantra os latest version for (Mi-439 aka Redmi 7A, 8) which was last updated on Dec 4, 2022. So when It was on AOD I tried to unlock the phone and it froze. So I rebooted it abnormally. After it was booting it stuck on the Redmi logo but it wasn't going ahead, not showing the boot animation. So I tried to boot it in recovery mode, when it was booting in recovery mode the phone was just shutting down and trying to reboot itself again but it couldn't. So I tried to wipe everything using fastboot commands and the command which I used was -w. So after that instead of waiting at the redmi logo it was stuck in a bootloop, in fact booting in the bootloader (fastboot mode). So after that I lost hope and gave it to the nearby service center. Please note that the phone was turning on before giving it to the service center. After like one day I went there to check if it was done, they say that it's a hardware problem, they are not able to fix it, When I came home the phone didn't boot neither in the fastboot mode nor It was turning on. So I thought it's not charged so I charged it for 1.5 hours but still there was no sign of life. I asked them about the phone not turning on they told me that it's a hardware issue and hung up the phone, said I am in a hurry I will call you later. Till this day I received no call. So Now I am posting this because I see some hope of EDL mode. I even tried to boot it in the EDL mode but still it was neither booting in the EDL mode nor my computer is detecting my phone (I have all the drivers installed). Please help ASAP.

1. does the led light up when you charge it?
2. what does you pc device manager show when you plug it in? (do you hear the windows sound?)
try every button combination that is possible. i mean two buttons at the same time, three buttons, all buttons... and for about even up to 1 minute (because this brought my 7A back from just led light when charging to pc detected a usb device)
i can't reproduce your brick but i managed to debrick via edl mode once on a "complete dead" (only led lights up when charging) so i think you can do that too.
also as long as you work with the EDL Tool, deactivate your Firewall (and don't forget to activate it again) just so be sure.
3. are you trying to enter edl mode via adb terminal? i would say you have to open the back cover and enter edl mode via hardware bridge from edl point to ground.
and as far as i can remember you have to be really quick between "starting" (booting) edl mode on the phone and make the phone "accept" edl mode. i think i first made the hardware bridge and then pluged the usb in.
i will dig deeper again in the next few days so i can give you better info's
