This help me:

"10- You'll boot in TWRP once there do the following :
Code:
* tap CANCEL
* tap WIPE
* tap FORMAT DATA and Follow the Instructions"

Thank you.
i try on nougat B08 also B09 works too
thanks! It's OK with nougat!
Thanks!

This method worked for me on a A2017G running stock B08 (Nougat) with locked bootloader.

Build number: ZTE A2017GV1.2.0B08

Only difference was between step 10 and 11. The device was encrypted so I ended up in the "enter password" dialog after flashing, reset and reboot from edl (because of verity break I guess).
I had to force the device manually into the bootloader (switch off and then hold Volume-Up and Power button to get into the recovery and then to the bootloader).

BTW: Flashed TWRP 3.2.1.0 directly after first boot with axon7tool and then installed Magisk 15.3. Magisk seems to work pretty well for me with this device, root/SU support is working and SafetyNet Patch is also fine.

Thanks for the guide and the links again!

When I put "adb reboot edl" in the Commend Prompt, it came up the device cannot found. Where did I do wrong? Thanks. :rolleyes:
Like, on the start? Look you need to enable USB debugging and keep the phone on and unlocked. Issue 'adb devices' and a pop-up should appear on the phone. Allow the connection and then try 'adb reboot edl'
The phone will seem like it's completely off but it will be in EDL mode

Actually, I enabled USB debugging and kept the phone on. I don't understand the meaning of keeping it unlocked, which I thought that was what I am trying to do.
Another question is whether I should download those files into my computer or into the phone. I downloaded them into my PC.

I re-did the whole process and finished the step 9 (Flash and wait until it is done). However, the device won't be on after long press the power button as indicated in Step 10. What should I do now?

Make it a really long press. Like a couple of minutes long. After that release it and hold it again, it should boot up

What I meant with 'keep it unlocked' was that you had to leave it with the screen on, not locked.

Thanks for the info. I have long pressed the power button more than 4 minutes, but it still won't power up. I saw the LED light up very shortly and felt the phone motor vibrated little bit (You normal can feel the vibration very strong before I did such unlock bootloader thing when the phone powers on). Also, it would repeate such LED and little motor vibration if I hold the power button long enough. How should I do? Thanks again.
