Apparent Root for Axon 7

[ultramag69]

In my stumblings through google I found this - https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&...Ngtuq-bHVKDh9IMHmsjqQg&bvm=bv.127178174,d.bGs
It promises root for the Axon 7 but I haven't had time to try it yet.
If you are brave enough to try & it's successful would be good to know....

Given that ZTE have suggested that they will provide the ability to unlock the boot-loader at some point after release and that the link you direct people to at sadroid.com (why the link obfuscation by the way?) looks fishy enough to make the dodgy customers at kingroot/kingoroot look like fine upstanding members of the community, I'd advise that people not touch this with a forty foot barge pole.

fake, just look at the "screenshots"

Copied link from google, sorry if it looked like I was trying to obfuscate the link...
Tried it out but the poot.apk doesn't install, comes up with a parsing file error...

Did someone from ZTE actually confirm this or was it just one of their community members?

Confirm what? If you're asking about the bootloader, they said they are in talks with R&D about how to best do it, and that it's a more a question of "when" than "if". Of course, all details are unknown.

I think that it came up briefly during the last webinar, they mentioned the large amount of support on the forums for an unlockable boot-loader and said that while it wouldn't be unlockable at release that the ability to unlock it at some stage was more "when" than "if". If they keep to the monthly update schedule they indicated that they would like to maintain then a month or two after release seems most likely.

Does the screen shot look like its from a Axon 7 phone?

That's not an axon 7 screenshot. Don't trust that link!! Here's an screenshot with my nova set up. Look at the status bar.

Exactly my point. Can't believe OP is this naive.

I'll be getting one of these guys next week, `fastboot oem unlock` should be enough?

Very keen to rip open ABOOT/Little Kernel, does anyone have the firmware? I can't see anything under 'Support'

Last three versions for the Chinese version of the phone, the leftmost blue button is to download the full image (middle is update)
you will need to sign up to the site in order to download anything.

Wholy ****, pan is the worst thing I've ever had to deal with 'curl: (18) transfer closed with 2503068826 bytes remaining to read' do you have a copy on you? I'm only interested in emmc_appsboot.mbn

Actually don't worry, I found a direct download

Off topic here, but what icons are you using? Those look really nice!

I still don't know why we can't get untethered twrp?
The Asus zenfone did this, it just booted into twrp and you could root your device... You couldn't install custom roms or keep twrp for any longer than when you rebooted but it did indeed allow us to root the Zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) pretty neatly.
No bootloader unlock required...

Can you please provide it to us?

You can download from the Zenfone forums - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/development/alpha-tethered-twrp-asus-zenfone-2-t3123532
However I don't know if it will brick the Axon 7 as it was made for the zenfone 2 and that may be different to the Axon 7 with partition setups and so on...
Not willing to try with my phone as I need it working when I want to call someone, not when I want to keep a piece of paper from blowing off my desk ...

If you click the third button and go to the forum post about the update, you can just get the direct Baidu link without having to login.
