Hi, I get this phone yesturday... I've installed last firemware ( 6.0 to 7.0.1 ) and after I tried with Tuliptool to install recovery but after this my phone dont show recovery when I tried so I was thinking I've forget to Unlock it before... and obvously I tried to unlock ( with tulip ) but I got error message in cmd ( I don't remerber... ) and now it show only Zte and it bootloop on it so I didn't have recovery, I can't use edl because I can't boot.. so there is something I can do or I bricked it in less than 1 day.. ? :S

EDL can only be entered once the phone is completely off. You need to hold down volume up + volume down and then plug in the usb cable (dont touch the power button). The phone wont do anything, it will still look off but you will hear the device plugged in tone in Windows and will be able to find the device in zadiag. Also after a few attempts Windows stopped showing the device and I had to restart Windows before it worked again. Can you get this far?

no my phone is just showing ZTE when it is booting then just instant turns off and starts again showing ZTE and it is doing that until the battery is empty

I did have that before, I'm not sure the exact combination I used, charge it up and then remove the cable, hold the power button and either the volume up, or volume down or both for anywhere between 5 and 20 seconds before letting go and seeing if it stays off. If it doesn't work try again and again and again, Its completely trial and error and took me a while to get it to work

I'm not quite sure but on the European version of the Axon you can't do that by holding the buttons.
I understand that the only way to get in edl mode is software, no other choice than rebooting from the OS using the command adb reboot edl. So if you can't make your device completely started first, i guess it's bricked. But maybe i'm totally wrong.

I also messed up mine. I did everything until I had android 7, rooted, but lost IMEI. then I, THE IDIOT, tried to re-flash stcok android 6......booom. bricked.......

however.........power the phone off:
hold vol- power for 10 secs. phone should boot into FTM. then power it off by pressing power for about 5 secs. phone is off.

now vol+power and the phone should go to recovery, even if stuck on the logo, my pc reads it as recovery in adb devices......

tomorrow I'll see if I can get out from there. my experience doing this before is that from the recovery the ADB reboot edl works

cheers
