To the contrary, I sincerely doubt a forum moderator has any "influence". He is just paid to communicate and tally ZTE's marketing/PR spins. At best he can go through the motions.
I have posted letters from ZTE.com.cn (ZTE China) that they do not unlock bootloaders and would not be unlocking the bootloader for the Axon 7, ZTE USA messaged me and stated that ZTE China does not speak for them and that ZTE USA was planning a big anouncement, once again dancing around the issue of unlocking the bootloader. After that response I posed the question, if they unlock the USA's bootloaders, what about the UK, EU,India or China and the rest of the world, since ZTE USA does not speak for them. I was then referred to their manager who wrote me yesterday repeating the same line. Here is his letter to me.
Dear Mr _____,
We thank you again for your purchase of the Axon 7 by ZTE. This is a follow up email to clarify misinformation you received yesterday regarding the unlocking of the Bootloader. Plans are in place to enable this function in the very near future. More information can be found at

Unlocking the bootloader is something that must be addressed by the parent company and have a unified response globally. ZTE USA does not deal with global issues, only local ones pertinent to their region. But they keep stringing us along with this big announcement. Is this to prevent people from returning their devices? Are we being played? Sure sounds like it.
