My AXON 7 is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 in COM&LPT but all the time when i'm trying to flash EDL ROM in XiaoMiFlash i have always the same issue ->
Bootloader is probably locked.
Screen is always black (any ZTE bootlogo or something) also LED indicator give no sign of life ...
Any ideas ?
First bricked unbrickable SD820 ?
Best regards and thanks in advance
that's literally how edl looks, don't try to draw conclusions...

Try uninstalling the Qualcomm 9008 driver (uninstall device, also tick delete driver software) and hold all 3 buttons of the phone until the led flashes and device manager refreshes. it should install the right driver (could be DFU this time around) and you can try again.
Btw you can also use EDL Tool, sometimes one works when the other one doesn't

After uninstalling device is ALWAYS installing as Qualcomm 9008

Yes, I read that and thought (think) that you are trying to say that you SHOULD have something on the screen. EDL is completely black. And the LED won't turn on unless you are on DFU or something like that.

Use EDL Tool and report back, MiFlash should flash even if the bootloader is locked

I was using EDL Tool from djkuz and always have error, sometimes logs says that is something went wrong and device is in SAHARA MODE...

That means DFU. If you uninstall the 9008 driver it SHOULD install the "ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface" one (dfu driver) and then you would be able to use multidl or just edl tool directly, but if it's not doing so you could try two things:
Uninstall the device, then unplug the phone. Find the ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface driver online, install them, then connect the phone. The driver should get installed. THEN try EDL Tool or MultiDL+MiFlash.

If this doesn't work you'll have to use my dfu unbrick guide, google "dfu unbrick" and it should be at the top

I have a weird "problem. My axon 7 has no system and no twrp. But it is not listed as dfu or something in the device manager. And the edl tool cant detect it.

Hi all-- Just doing my sporadic check-in to inquire if anyone has resolved the issue of the screen not being responsive above MM B29? :D

Thank you!!!

This saved my phone. I'll describe my case, maybe it will help someone.

I have the 2017G version. After flashing something which i guess was not supposed to be flashed on it got DFU brick. Nothing would show up on the screen, I could only get red led light up.
When connecting to the PC device manager would show QUSB__BULK and the tool would not see my phone. After switching from front USB to back USB on my PC device manager finally showed up Device Framework something something and then this tool would see it.
Followed the guide and got the phone to show up as it should. Using the Axon7 EDL Tool went from DFU mode to EDL mode although the EDL tool wouldn't flash the EDL image for some reason.
I closed the tool and launched MiFlash which flashed the Full EDL Image no problem.

Thanks guys!
