Using DrakenFX files here is how to fully return stock for noobs

Ok I was a lil confused about returning to stock from oreo roms such as RR and linage. So I hope this post helps... This is a fully B35 guide, I have never been on a bootstack lower then b35.

You can be on any oreo even if you moved to f2fs file system this will work & a different kernel as far as I know because Drakens images will reformat your drives back to ext4. Outside of that I would ensure you are on B35 in RR or linage before you move forward b35 baseband is TH.2.0.c1.900104-m8996faaaanazm

Step 1. Transfer over A2017Uv1.1.0B35_Bootstack_by_DrakenFX & A2017Uv1.1.0B35_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX over to your phones storage.

Setp 2. Go to twrp and mount, Tap Mount and Check "Mount, System as Read-only", it may also pop up when twrp first boots.

Step 3. Flash bootstack and then flash stock system files you moved over to phone memory.

Step 4. Reboot into recovery again and If TWRP is still recovery then simply flash stock recovery.img from stock B32 as its the same as B35 anyway.

step 5. Use Axon7tool or adb to lock, I had unlock and relock bootloader of mine, (If using ADB youl have to find FASTBOOT_UNLOCK_EDL_N image). Then simply relock bootloader, It is safe to relock the bootloader as long as you are running 100% pure stock (no TWRP, root, modified system partition, etc)

Step 6. System is fully stock and locked. This is how I returned by B35 oreo system to B35 Nouget and returned to zte for exchange.

If you have any comments please let me know, I dont have the depth of knowledge that DrakenFX has on this so If there is a B35/oreo scenario where this guide will not work I am not aware.

I just use EDL tool mine its coming Monday already !

Well I went the EDL path thinking that locking and flashing via EDL just took care of everything else and I was wrong and then ended up with a bricked device. So that is why I wrote this guide to clarify that for noobs.

Just updated to B35 rootedw/ SU 2.79
Been holding off because I haven't had much luck with this device. Got it to work on second flash thank goodness...but AdAway is not functioning.

Any ideas?

Insure you have updated AdAway to v3.3. Clear cache & Dalvik.

 

[HTC55555]

Thanks amphi66 got AdAway working nicely

How about my read write ability?
I tried the terminal - reboot disemmcwp
Both on the app and inside twrp

I've had this issue before and this never fixed it I must have done something else to fix it but can't remember

Any ideas welcome thanks in advance

Hi

Was not able to find a resolution to the issue where rooting does not work. Was there any?
zip flashes normally, but when booting back - root is not working; I'm on A2017Uv1.1.0B32_StockSystem_by_DrakenFX
tried unroot and install magisk (flashed unroot, extracted boot.img from this zip, flashed that as boot; then Magisc) - the phone tries to boot, reboots, and goes back to twrp. Was there any solution to this problem found?
Edit: found no solution to this issue; flashed and re-flased everything from Draken's B19 up to 35; Tried both Superuser Su and Magisc; tried with or without reboot disemmcwp; decided to quit @ 3AM yesterday Flashed stock chinese b13 this morning - now upgrading up; will try to unlock/twrp/root/flash gapps afterwards... Jeez, and I just wanted to have lineage 15.1
edit2: f*it - managed to get root on the chinese ROM, but it looks terrible, full of bloatware constantly spamming random sh.t.. plus seems restoring titanium backup made on lineage to that ROM made half of the apps unusable :\ back to Ub35 still no root. Any tips would be very helpful

So i have a a2017u. I followed the instructions for flashing B35. I flashed the bootstack first after wiping data, and then i flashed the system stock.
However after rebooting my phone is stuck in the "Your device can't be checked for corruption" screen. It's not moving past that. I tried to go back into recovery, but after the flash I'm back to stock recovery. What are my options now?
