So, I did brick my D802 in some way.
After a long history from cloudy g2-g3, rr, cm12, cm13, lineage 14.1, I clicked by mistake on the OTA of the lineage.
I thought I could stop the update once in the recovery, but I got stucked in the recovery bootloop. I got rid of it via recovery terminal, but system didn't boot. I tried reflashing lineage, nothing happened, I tried restoring a cm13 full backup, nothing happened, so I got back in download mode to restock with lollipop kdz (the one I used every time I restocked to change rom). It did not work, and I had to download a different KDZ to get to stock again.
Now, all the methods always used to root + recovery didn't work, so I manually rooted, installed the proper AUTOREC, but it didn't work (as I understand after hours of searching because supersu had updated himself in the meantime).
So I tried to install the TWRP image using flashify, it didn't work and corrupted something in my recovery. So i tried to unroot everything and reinstall the original root + supersu without letting him autoupdate. Not working.
Well, now I can boot and I can get in original lollipop rom, but I have no recovery and download mode appears but doesn't work anymore (once I had 3 COM ports when connected in download mode, now I can see only one; kdz flash does not sense the phone connected). When I try to open recovery I got the error "boot certification verify, secureboot error" in the top left corner of the screen, then a white page opens with the message "critical error" "demigod crash handler", volume up to download mode (that opens but does not work), volume down to reboot.
Now, I am stucked, I cannot find any suggestion of what to do to get the recovery working or to get the download mode working again.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much guys.

I had my phone rooted on old Oreo version and wanted to reinstall the latest factory image. While I was doing this my laptop got a BSOD and the installation didn't fully finish. I redid the install but now my phone is in a bootloop. It will go past the Google logo but afterwards will loop on the dead Android guy with the ''No command'' message, same happens when I try to enter recovery mode. Is there something I can do?
I would flash TWRP and try wiping all including internal. Sounds like one of the partions is corrupted. You could do it with fastboot in bootloader mode but not sure of the commands.

You're probably not used to the stock recovery. The no command droid is normal. Watch this video, and see if you can get to recovery or bootloader.
Hello i have out of the loop for quite some time, and i flashed TWRP at some point in the past. but now i wanted to update to 7.1.1 and i can't when i try to use the official zip from german zte is says that the update failed. and when i try to get into recovery there is nothing or boot loop i tryed axon7toolkit and unbrick through EDL option but MiFlash fails to detect my phone. and i tried reinstaling drivers twice. Any idea how to get out of it? Btw i can use the phone just fine. But i would really like to move to Nougat
EDIT: for some uknown reason axon7tool on the nth try managed to flash the recovery. Before that i opened zading and his install WCID drivers and rebooted and that helped so SOLVED
Hello
Long story short, i digged out my axon 7 to use it with some music apps.
I wanted to return the phone to stock firmware, it had unlocked bootloader and running a custom nougat rom (AEX i think).
I followed this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-axon-7-universal-unbrick-t3814413 and flashed full EDL package.
Now when i try to turn on the phone, or enter recovery i see the boot logo and quick flash of the commandpromt with a broken droid and the phone turn off again.
I can still enter EDL mode and flash the phone.
Any ideas how i get it up and ruunning gain ? preferably on stock firmware
Thanks

Use one of the less archaic methods:
Download "EDL Tool" from the ROMs, kernels, development section, along with an EDL package that goes with your phone model. Put your phone in EDL and just flash it with that tool. after that, if it still doesn't boot you have to format data, because you might have conflicting data. If you can't do it from EDL Tool (i think you can, don't remember) just enter the recovery with Vol+ and Power and make a factory reset
My story is very similar and now i'm stuck in EDL mode. I was able to flash stock Oreo B02 EDL package successfully and boot into OS. But after i was trying to unlock bootloader and reboot to recovery, ZTE logo appears for a second or two and then following error message starts looping:
(broken droid logo)
No command
Supported API: 3
E:failed to mount /cache: Invalid argument
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
EDL mode works but if i flash EDL package or boot/recovery again nothing changes, i still get the same error. Can't boot to OS any more and recovery does not work - screen just stays black.
So what are my options now to get it to work again?
From some other threads, I believe you could try to EDL flash Nougat instead of Oreo, it would work better.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/help/help-edl-factory-restore-stuck-device-t4031619
I did that already but no luck, i still end up with the same error.
Is there some way to reformat or clean up internal storage completely in EDL mode? It seems that some garbage left behind by trying to unlock bootloader is surviving even EDL ROM flash and breaking OS boot.

According to other threads, the problem could be due to "sparse" structure while flashing.
I suggest the following:
- Use Axon 7 EDL toolkit to flash latest official TWRP recovery (for Oreo a specific TWRP would be requied).
- Inside TWRP then wipe data/factory reset and at the utmost Format data. Then retry to boot.
- If not OK, reflash with EDL full ROM and try again.
Already done that for several times with O ja N EDL rom's but no luck. Can't get to recovery nor make system to boot.
Did you successful unlocked bootloader?
If not, I would recommended Axon 7 EDL Tool by djkuz, flashing nougat edl package and unlock it through the options.
Can you get into stock recovery after flashing EDL package? It supposed to have a format option for userdata and cache.
Did you try to get into fastboot mode? Power + Vol up buttons if i'm not wrong.
If so, you could try to format these partitions.
fastboot erase /cache
fastboot erase /data
I have experienced the same problem but I have resolved flashing, with Xiaomi MiFlash (sometimes I use this program because occasionally flashing EDL packages with AxonEDLTool, it gives me problems like this) this package Axon7_RR-O_B32-B10_TREBLE-Ready_Oki20180803_FULL_EDL.
With this EDL, if the flash is successful, you will find NFound recovery 3.2.1-7 installed with which you can make a complete wipe and / or format them with the file system you prefer.
Afterwards, using MiFlash or EDLTool at your discretion, you can flash the EDL of the original system if you prefer.
I'm not an expert but this has solved my problem.
To unlock the bootloader, if the unlocking with EDLTool does not go well (it happened to me just yesterday while I was installing a Rom on another Axon 7), you can use Axon7ToolKit 1.2.1, it always worked well for me.
I hope it can help :fingers-crossed:.

Hi, just want to let here my solution for the same problem, it may help others.
I tried to flash A2017G_B10_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL and A2017G_B02_OREO_FULL_EDL but always getting the Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale error, phone completely bricked.
So I flashed A2017_B13_FULL_EDL_UNBRICK_DFU using MiFlash through EDL, you can find this here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/a2017-4th-category-brick-repair-manual-t3585898 (if your EDL mode works fine there is no need to disassemble the phone as shown in that tutorial)
Now the phone is completely working, recovery and system, but everything in chinese.
Then I flashed A2017G_B02_OREO_FULL_EDL using MiFlash through EDL, and now everything is working and in english
Thanks a lot for the tip! A2017_B13_FULL_EDL_UNBRICK_DFU did the trick and unbrick the phone.
What i did:
1. used MiFlash to flash A2017_B13_FULL_EDL_UNBRICK_DFU
2. after that A2017G_B03_OREO_FULL_EDL
3. reboot to recovery and performed factory reset
First time I did not perform the factory reset and got stuck on the boot picture without the reset function (power button did not work). Drained the battery and performed factory reset and got the phone working again.
update:
Phone is not stable on B03, some apps crashing from time to time for no apparent reason and also soft reboots happening randomly.
Now I got stuck on the Axon boot screen again after rebooting the phone manually and waiting for the battery to drain ...
i did not install or perform any custom action to the system, just regular use and apps, but it is still acting up badly.
I was planning to use this phone as a secondary handset because it is actually a very nice piece of hardware but now i am starting to have second thoughts about that.
Hello
Sorry for my bad english
a few months ago, i decided to flash my first custom rom (One UI rom) and it worked fine
then i was testing a lot of other roms too until i tried lineage os 20
when i flashed lineage os 20, i decided to try another rom but i was stuck on the twrp logo screen. i tried methods of fixing it but none of them worked.
after trying a method of flashing twrp once again, it failed and i got stuck in a reboot loop and could only boot into download mode. so i booted into download mode and flashed a stock rom.
everything was working fine again until i wanted to try another custom rom. At first whenever i would flash twrp, they would always fail. but later i found the cause of that and fixed it. then, flashing twrp would always pass but my device would get stuck on a reboot loop once again and i had to flash stock rom again.
i tried rooting using auto root but it would show me a verification failed error and i had to reset my device. so now im stuck on a device which cannot flash twrp, nor can it be rooted. its been 1 month and i could not find a viable solution so any help would be extremely appreciated.
You have to just reflash your fastboot rom with fastboot mode unzip it and double click on flash_all.bat file or something like that
it is a samsung, there is no fastboot mode
