[DrakenFX]

@anaya1213

Aaaah, I'm so excited! Being able to backup and restore an entire ROM on demand makes trying things much safer. Can't wait to get my phone.

Holy ****, amazing! When are you going to post TWRP? And what's coming besides TWRP?

I'll create a thread once I finish the next build. So far besides TWRP I don't plan on going any further as I don't own a device. Just something for my friend Draken FX.

having a fully functional TWRP the rest is just gravy , like

- Backup System , etc
- Flashing Root.
- Xposed
- Having Root you can do bunch of more things.
- Roms are now flashable via TWRP.
- so many more

just give the Devs. time and youll see

Just tell me if you need testing, I'm willing to give whatever a shot!

Awsome work UDev, any chance you could share your repo once it's done

My phone won't get here till early September...this thing can't come fast enough. I plan on being as active with the development of this phone as i can. When I get it, let me know what I can do.

So correct me if I'm wrong, if I'm reading this right, we won't need ZTE to unlock the bootloader right?

base on the new finding , NOP and thanks to @jkuczera for that.... just need to be in " B20 " and follow OP steps.

 

[Novakingwai]

Want this phone so bad. But 2 things are stopping me. I have Verizon, waiting for a reliable service. And waiting for root and good ROMS.

Be wary that while some brave souls in this forum took the time, effort, and risk to get us all the bootloader to be unlocked, please do NOT share this info outside of XDA.

Just a reminder to all of us here,and especially for those of us who are active in the ZTE USA forums.

Last thing we need is to have ZTE find a way to disable the method found here.

Thanks.

I'm using the Axon 7 with Verizon right now. You have to allow roaming to access LTE speeds, but otherwise it works just fine. From what I've read, ZTE is in the process of getting Verizon to sign off on the Axon 7 so that it has full network access, but it can still be used in the meantime.

Will this work also on galaxy s7 edge Sprint?

That's an easy one: relock first, then flash to B20...

Once the device is locked, you can only flash full images or OTAs that match the ZTE signature. None of which we have currently, and may never have. Even if you backup the partitions, you'd have no way of generating a package to match their crypto signature.

Is the galaxy s7 edge sprint a ZTE Axon 7? no? then it is unlikely to work, the file to be downloaded looks at a cursory glance to be very device specific.

Or are you asking (judging by what you quote) whether the "not telling ZTE about this" will work on the galaxy s7 edge sprint?

Believe me that's the last thing I want, I don't even have the phone yet, hasn't shipped yet from best buy.

Happily, ZTE is not Apple. I don't anticipate them proactively trying to screw the developer and tinkerer base represented by the XDA membership. Rather, I see our ZTEUSA friends as reacting with benign neglect
