Starting from completely stock 7.1.1 B19 - locked bootloader, no TWRP.

Followed this guide to get TWRP (tenfar's signed version)

Followed this post's OP to unlock the bootloader. It succeeded in unlocking, but when rebooting to system I got a bootloop stuck on the ZTE logo.

Updated TWRP to the latest official, then flashed bootstack / stock system / root from here and everything's working.

Now there is a new bootloader unlock listed at the Axon7tool thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108

I could unlock the bootloader with the Axon7tool on my A2017G with Android 7.1.1 b02.
After that I installed the LineageOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.1 closer to Android stock than the mess ZTE threw at us)
With it I have everything I wanted.
★Daydream (not available on lower than Android 7.1)
★Ability to turn off the lock screen (Security - Screen lock - None)
★Live wallpaper
★Root
Multiple user support

That is the order to do it. With the Axon7tool you can unlock your bootloader and it will install the Recovery (TWRP for Axon 7) used to flash LineageOS. Thread here:

adb push fastboot_unlock.img /sdcard/
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/fastboot_unlock.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fbop

Great! Thank you. But I'm a little confused. You mentioned to flash fastboot_unlock.img but didn't provide a link to that file. Maybe I just missed something but I really like to know which fastboot_unlock.img you used to unlock the device.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, found it.

Hi guys,

finally i got my B03 A2017G bootloader unlocked. Here is how I did it:

1. enable developer menu -> settings -> about phone tap 7 times on the build number
2. go to developer options -> enable oem unlock
3. backup your recovery and boot with axon7backup (axon7backup -d -p X) - get axon7backup from here: http://devhost.xda-developers.com/Ienb
4. flash twrp-3.0.2-2 with axon7root (rename the file as recovery.img and put it in the same directory as the axon7root.exe and execute axon7root -p X -r) - get axon7root from here: http://devhost.xda-developers.com/aPiC get twrp-3.0.2-2 from here: http://devhost.xda-developers.com/dgWW
5. boot into twrp, hold power and volume up until you are in twrp
6. execute: - get the aboot.img from here: https://mega.nz/#F!rcFCQZ7C!vn457hU1zDwc0uVpvm5otw

#copy necessary files to internal sd card
adb push aboot.img /sdcard/
adb push fastboot_unlock.img /sdcard/

#make a backup to your internal sd of the partitions we are going to modify
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fbop of=/sdcard/fbop_lock.img
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot_lock.img

#copy them to your pc
adb pull /sdcard/fbop_lock.img
adb pull /sdcard/aboot_lock.img

#flash the proper fastboot and aboot file
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/fastboot_unlock.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fbop
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/aboot

#boot to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader

7.

 fastboot oem unlock

8. follow instructions on your phone
9. boot into twrp -> vol up + power button
10. wipe data
11. enjoy the unlocked device
