[Guide] 7.x > 6.x unlock, root, xposed

[rmyc]

I'm writing this because a spent a good 8 hours trying to get my phone to where it is. This was definately more complicated than htc or the many Galaxys ive used. went back and forth downgrading and bricking and edl and etc

Started: 7.0 B15 ( used off of amazon sale)

after many different methods, this is what worked. I wont share links, you can search and fin them

1- Down Grade to 6.x on B29

get in to recovery mode and flash from SD "America A2017U SD card software package(323140B2979A2017UV1.0.0B29)SD NEW"​

2- boot the phone and log in , etc.. turn on usb debugging and oem unlocking
3- download AXON7-A2017U-BL-UNLOCK-KIT
4- copy extracted files to SD
5- Downgrade to B29 on B20

get in to recovery mode and flash from SD "STEP_1_3-B20_FULL_OTA.zip"​

6- B20 install

reboot into boot loader , get in to recovery mode , and flash from SD "STEP_2-B20_UNLOCKABLE_BL.zip"​

7- boot the phone and log in , etc.. turn on usb debugging and oem unlocking
8- B20 unlock

reboot into boot loader. On your computer use command prompt and type "fastboot devices" . If you see your device than proceed to "fastboot oem unlock". Choose unlock on the phone ( void warrenty)​

9- Upgrade from B20 to B29, by flashing from SD update.zip from "America A2017U SD card software package(323140B2979A2017UV1.0.0B29)SD NEW"

you now have unlocked bootloader.

Flash TWRP

If that took you 8 hours, you'd better not write a guide about it!

I can write you a 3 step guide that should do the same:

-Download a Marshmallow A2017U official package, unzip it if it has an update.zip inside, drop it in the root of the internal storage. Also download axon7toolkit
-Go to Settings - Updates - select the zip that should pop up
-After the phone boots enable USB debugging and OEM unlock, use axon7toolkit to unlock, root

Done
