Hey folks. Hello from Canada.
I recently got this phone (b2017g), and decided to check if there were any updates. I downloaded this package, unziped the file, and put the update zip on my SD. I used the built in feature in android to update it. It did some stuff, rebooted, and showed a update progress bar. It got to 81% before the screen shut off. I left it for a couple minutes, then tried to turn it back on again. The screen wont turn on. It now shows as QDLoader 9008 as a COM port on my computer. I can't get it into recovery or anything. I never enabled OEM unlock, although USB debugging was enabled from before. I've tried a couple tools here, like tuliptool, although it just says it failed to send programmer, presumably because the bootloader is still locked. Does anybody know anything I could try to get it working again?

Since I can't post links, if you search google for "AXON 7 MINI(Open market) SD Card Upgrade", its the first one.
Thanks So Much.

you can not brick this phones AFAIK
well......I do think we can brick it. be careful.

phone comes with android 6
upgrade to android 7
tulip tool to install twrp. root. all done. all good but...lost my IMEI.
then re-flash android 6, stock.
lost recovery (overiden by stock). lost OS (aboot7 cannot boot android 6)

because I knew I was about to lose twrp, I tried to re-flash itself from the twrp before the first boot. done.

complete Fu.....CK up......what an idiot I am.

any suggestion for revive the phone?
or can I just bin it?
