Note: This is an inherently dangerous tool. I have made every effort to make it as safe as possible. But there is always a risk of bricking your device. You assume all responsibility for the consequences. Proceed with caution.
Warning: To avoid bricking your device, NEVER write both boot and recovery in one session. ALWAYS write one partition, test, then write the other. This is why the tool will only write one partition at a time.
Warning: There are versions of TWRP for the Axon 7 that are known to erase your IMEI when doing a restore. Do NOT do a TWRP restore unless your are SURE that you have a good version of TWRP!
This tool will allow you to:
See following posts for operating system specific setup instructions.
Once your setup is complete, enter EDL mode:
1. Power off phone.
2. Hold both volume buttons.
3. Plug phone into computer.
4. For G models, you must "adb reboot edl" (see other threads).
Usage:
axon7tool <mode> <partition(s)>
Note: The tool name will vary depending on your operating system.
<mode> is -r for read, -w for write.
For read mode, <partition> is one or more of gpt, boot, recovery. Files will be created as <partition>-backup.bin
For write mode, <partition> is boot or recovery. File will be read from <partition>.bin
Examples:
To backup everything on Linux:
./axon7tool-1.5-linux -r gpt boot recovery
To write recovery on Win64:
Place file as recovery.bin
axon7tool-1.5-win64 -w recovery
