If I was to put Lineage 14 on my Axon 7 would it be a lot easier to upgrade to Lineage 15 when it is available for the Axon 7? And if I was is there any disadvantages to Lineage 14 on Axon 7?

Is your phone bootloader unlocked and do you have a custom recovery like TWRP already? You'll need to do that whether you install CM14 or 15.
If you install CM14, you probably won't have a clean upgrade path. Dirty flashing generally isn't recommended for major updates like that. You will most likely want to wipe the device and install clean in order to avoid upgrade issues. So... install CM14 if you want to play with CM14 now. It's a pretty great rom - if you're holding out for 15 and have the stock rom right now, then you're missing out on the great features and cleanliness of CM14.

I have not done anything to my phone yet it's just stock rom as I want to be sure about doing this, having almost stock android sounds very appealing but I don't know will there be much disadvantages.
I was thinking about holding out alright but thought that I may as well go for 14 if it is an easy upgrade to 15, would it almost be the same to put 15 on so from 14 as it would from stock rom to 15?

I would definitely recommend switching to a custom ROM. I have tried switching back to stock MiFavor on a couple of occasions but it just feels unbearable to me in comparison with custom ROM's like Lineage and AospExtended. The procedure to switch from LineageOS 14 to LineageOS 15 is very simple, basically the steps to clean flash the Oreo update would be as follows:
1. Make sure your apps and files on LOS 14 are backed-up.
2. Download the LOS 15 ROM and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
3. Download the latest GApps arm64 ZIP for Android 8.0 from OpenGapps and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
4. Reboot the phone into TWRP custom recovery.
5. Enter the 'Wipe' menu and wipe the partitions /data, /system, /dalvik and /cache.
6. Switch the the 'Install' menu and flash the LOS 15 ZIP, followed by the GApps ZIP.
7. Reboot!

That sounds great so thanks for the info one last thing if you don't mind I'm on Nougat do I have to downgrade to marshmallow to get the LOS 14 rom? And if so you know a good guide on how to do that?

You don't have to downgrade back to Marshmallow to flash the ROM. There are some guides on XDA that explain the procedure to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. I only got my Axon 7 about 3 weeks ago so don't know all that much about it myself. :laugh: I unlocked mine using EDL mode and MiFlash.

Will putting Magisk on My ZTE A2017G with unofficial Lineage 14.1 get passed Safety net and allow me to use apps like Android Pay?
Sent from my ZTE A2017U using Tapatalk
The latest stable version of Magisk (14.0) works fine for me on LineageOS 14.1 and also passes SafetyNet, so the answer is YES. (But I don't know for certain about Android Pay because I don't use it!)

I am not sure what you mean to be honest, where did you see about this? I know when you install LineageOS you have to flash the B15 Universal Bootloader first in TWRP, and you should also flash the Android N modem; both of which are supplied in the Official LineageOS discussion thread. You can then proceed with flashing the ROM and OpenGApps, followed by Magisk 14.0 and anything else you'd like to install before rebooting.

Yea I've actually done all that and got it working with a bit of stress involved it's just this part in the guide for Magisk "However, you MUST have a stock boot image dump beforehand, and also be able to flash the patched boot image, either through fastboot/download mode or ODIN" if you know how to do that bit would be great haha but if not thanks for your help P650E

No worries. I don't think you need to worry about anything like that. The usual procedure is just to download Magisk from the link in the official thread on XDA, copy it to the internal storage on the Axon 7 and then flash it in TWRP. It isn't necessary to do anything else, like the stuff you copied above.

Hmm, i'm not sure about that one because I didn't use the phone for making calls when I was running LineageOS on my Axon 7. If you installed the Android N modem before flashing the ROM it should work fine in theory. Maybe you can find someone else in the LineageOS thread who's having the same issue.

I also had problems getting Viper4Android to work on this device. For me it would install fine, but the audio effects made no difference in apps like Spotify and YouTube, despite having the deep-buffer fix enabled. Try using this version by ahrion instead, it works for me! (Just make sure you remove anything relating to previous installations of V4A beforehand!)

I don't know how much difference it would make, but installing the Official build of LineageOS is probably slightly better. The method of switching from Unofficial to Official is basically the same as what I posted previously in your other discussion thread:
1. Make sure your apps and files from Unofficial LOS are backed-up.
2. Download the Official LOS ROM and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
3. Download the latest GApps arm64 ZIP for Android 7.1 from OpenGapps and copy it to either the internal or expandable SD card storage on the Axon 7.
4. Reboot the phone into TWRP custom recovery.
5. Enter the 'Wipe' menu and wipe the partitions /data, /system, /dalvik and /cache. (It might not be 100% necessary to wipe /data since you're just switching to an official build of the same ROM, but it is still advisable. You could try installing the ROM without wiping /data, but you may encounter some issues!)
6. Switch the the 'Install' menu and flash Official LOS, followed by the OpenGApps ZIP.
7. Reboot the device.
Happy New Year everyone!
I am out of ideas, I hope you could help me. I tried to flash and install Lineage OS on my Moto X Style.
Unlocking bootloader went fine, I installed new TWRP 3.2.1.0 and so far it was OK. I flashed LineageOS nightly from 25 Dec with GApps but it won't boot. I have booting animation and from time to time there is very short vibration, just fraction of a second every 3-4 sec. I left the phone for an hour, still stuck on booting animation. I tried to wipe data/cache, tried several other builds from December- all have the same issue. I proceed to other ROMs, all behave in the same way, infinite bootloop. I went to find some solutions on XDA, but nothing seems to work.
I tried restore from backup: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/nougat-stock-rom-moto-x-style-xt1572-t3718460 Did not work, I still had booting animation form Lineage OS, even that it suppose to be stock rom.
I try below method to restore stock rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110
With this firmware: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto X Style/Stock/XT1572/ and android 7.0 But I constantly have error msg: "(bootloader) Preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)"
I tried to look for solutions but at this point it starts to getting quite too difficult to grasp what should I try next, I do not want to brick the phone for good.
Could you please give me any advice and suggestions? I have Lineage OS on three other devices, never had this type of issues before.
which firmware you were on when you unlocked bootloader and flashed Lineage? Marshmallow or Nougat?

It wasn't only the TWRP issue. From Marshmallow to Nougat was a major update for our device. Once upgraded to Nougat the data partition format is F2FS am not sure, but hope you get my point.
Developers had to compile ROMs based on this new updated Kernel, Modem and Vendor.
I have been using this unofficial builds for a week now and they are stable. No major bugs.
You can also flash the official Nougat firmware image over fastboot, in case you you wanna go back to Stock.
In case you want to try this old ROMs, you have to flash Marshmallow modem and then it will boot.

Good afternoon! I would like to have some help on how to install custom roms on my phone. I know the essentials since i've already installed custom roms on various devices but each one has it's own procedure and i am a bit confused with the Axon 7. XDA has many threads and i don't know which ones to follow to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. As said before i have an A2017G and it's currently running Nougat V1.2.0B10. Any help would be appreciated.
A rom recommendation would also be good. Im looking for a (preferably oreo) stable, clean, with good battery life and sound quality (is the AKM DAC used on the custom roms??) rom.
Lastly i would like to know what is Bootstack and Modem is. I see these things all over the Axon 7 XDA forum but i don't know what they are ;-;
Sorry for bad english
Thanks in advance

-Use EDL Tool to unlock and install TWRP (3.2.1-0), or if it fails use Controllerboy's guide
-For Oreo you have AEX from NFound, or RR-O from Kranoner (on the Hellsgate kernel thread). Don't know about the others.
AEX has awesome sound, don't know about RR but it probably also has good sound.
-Bootloader and modem are the things you have to flash BEFORE flashing the ROM. The bootloader is the thing that basically initializes the system, and the modem file is the modem firmware. You need the Universal B15 bootloader for N custom ROMs or sometimes you can use the B09 bootloaders from Raystef66 (But don't, it's not needed really).
Bootloaders are usually universal, i.e. they work for the G, U and chinese. Modem files are specific for each model.
There are also Bootstacks which are sometimes bootloaders bundled with the specific modem for your phone. But sometimes they are just bootloaders named as bootstacks for some reason. Just read the ROM thread, it should say "flash modem, flash bootstack".
And for Oreo you have NFound's Bootstack which is basically an AROMA zip that contains the 3 modems, so you can select which one you want. The downside is that the zip is about 250 or 300 mb in size.
The latest Oreo bootstack I know is B32+B10 bootloader by nfound. That one supposedly has fixes from the Chinese Oreo build, which mostly fix audio (But audio was already awesome on AEX-O, I'm pretty sure the DAC was already working fine).

not using that guide and using EDL Tool directly?
No offense @Oki , in fact I used that guide to unlock, but there are new methods available, and not like axon7toolkit that were pretty hardcoded and depended on you having fastboot. EDL Tool is the best way right now.
Beside that, I think you don't need to downgrade. Check WesTD's guide "Unlock bootloader easily", it's roughly the same procedure but i think he doesn't mention downgrading there
So, i used EDL Tool to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP and everything went fine. I actually managed to get oreo running on my phone, but i had problems with both AEX and RR. First i tried AEX and it was working good, pretty stable actually but i only had sound on headphones. Since every phone is unusable without sound i tried another solution: Flash RR.... But that created a bigger problem, it wouldn't even boot lol. It gave me a bootloop.
After that i flashed LOS14.1 for a quick fix, because i didn't had much time to search and fix the AEX bug. This is quite strange because afaik no one had these problems, so i suppose i did something wrong.....

Can anyone help on how to modify current TWRP to support encryption?
Nothing as of now. The support is dead.
Yesterday I tried rooting my phone by using almost every instance of magisk available on the web, but I either end up with a bootloop or Error 255.
There is no point installing twrp, you will only break your phone.
Only solution is never trust honor again in terms of development support.

Unfortunately, i'm regretting getting the H8P instead of the OP5. Kinda had a feeling this would happen but took a shot anyway.
Tried many versions of Magisk but all ends up in bootloop. Spent over 30 hours on the device, tinkering.
Best bet would be to flash Stock, lock bootloader and forget about SU . The only choice given how expensive the phone was to a common man when it released.
No more Honor or Huawei every again. For me or anyone who askes for suggestions.
I'm not that into android that i can jump in to help devs aswell. But i will try to stay active and support those who brick their device.
@anirudh & @shailendra1993
Sorry, but you seem both out of topic.
It seems to me latest official magisk is working on your device by flashing a patched ramdisk via fastboot.
Coming back to OP, the latest public TWRP available for your device seem to be there https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8-pro/how-to/restoring-dukfullotaromflasher-t3741223But they may not support encryption...

Thanks ! I get constant bootloops when I flash almost all versions of magisk on stock Oreo 8.0.0.323 . I'm now using AOSP from open krin . 8.1 . Not the most stable rom, but I love stock Android. Definably miss a few stock rom features though. It would help if you tell us the version of magisk flashed and also stock rom version.
And the installation method you followed for magisk was patching boot using magisk manager and flashing the image via fastboot right?

Thanks ! I get constant bootloops when I flash almost all versions of magisk on stock Oreo 8.0.0.323 . I'm now using AOSP from open krin . 8.1 . Not the most stable rom, but I love stock Android.

Hey,
I followed those same instructions before.
From v 15.4, we can directly extract our boot.img , patch it using magisk manager and flash it using fastboot.
And it works like a charm. With data encrypted.
Thanks for your inputs

I come from an Honor 8 completely turned inside out (root,twrp,xposed,gravity,substratum,v4a,titanium backup,kali linux and so so so on).
Can I hope to get almost half of them on my new Honor 8 Pro? I would stay on latest stock B189, but If I well understand there are problems with TWRP and TB because of encryption. What is the state of the art we can get on Nougat? Thanks a lot.
