Zte axon 7 mini edl backup needed - lost stock recovery!

[A18xcn]

Hi Guys,

I would greatly appreciate any help. I have somehow lost the TWRP & Stock recovery to my ZTE ANXON 7 MINI.

I had a custom rom and decided to flash a stock update zip and that rendered my phone unusable. I have managed to get it too boot to 6.0.1 B9 Spanish rom. However i have NO RECOVERY to flash the original update for the UK B12 Rom.

Im using the EDL Tool to flash. If anyone has the stock recovery to the B9 6.0.1 Rom that would be a big help. Or a EDL full backup.

All links to the ZTE website are down as they are no longer allowed to use ANDROID.

Also to note i have tried to reinstall TWRP however im left with either a white screen or nothing just bootloop.

Unable to unlock bootloader also as i have no fastboot option as recovery is dead

Thanks.

If you have white screen or ZTE logo then I know how to solve it.

Funny enough, hook the phone to the pc, open adb command and type adb devices.

You will see you pc recognises the phone in adb as recovery.

If this happens let me know and I'll show you how to push the entire bootstack to data/media, then write all these files to each partition. After that your twrp will work and you are done.

These happened to me about 10 times now and I even created a bat file which I double click and it does all the operations at once then reboots straight into twrp. Quite cool actually.

Nevertheless I'm also interested in an edl ROM to umbrick another axon 7 mini I have which is totally, utterly bricked.

I have opened the phone (still opened) and I managed once to get the test point to work and connect to qcn configurator but since then I never got it to be recognised again.

Good luck

Cheers

Mate, you don't know how helpful this post was.
I have bricked this [nasty] phone about 10 times.
but yesterday I learn yet another lesson, after trying to flash a new splash screen, the phone went totally dead, connecting directly in DFU mode.
I sort of panicked because I didn't have a fresh data backup and there aren't full EDL ROM for this phone easily found on the web.

After focusing in making sure my laptop had the correct drivers (loader/bulk/adb) and after I got confident to use the deepflash cable to move from DFU to EDL, bulk device recognised, right click on it and update the driver to show the loader (901D) then I though what would be the next step.
I did not understand the MIflash tool and the version I had didn't seem to work at all I scratched my had for a while.

I then used the EDL tool, placed your files into the FULL folder and ran through the steps...….mate.....that was beautiful.
I ended up flashing the full B13 on top of the B09 and the system works perfect without any loss of data.

Having learnt all this, I went brave and confident I could rescue my other axon 7 min, which had been dead for over 2 months. Although I had to open it to access the test point, after about 50 or more attempts, I had tried lots of combinations, test point again etc.
It turned out I have left the phone plugged in to the PC with every plug disconnected except the usb board and went to do the washing up. 2-3min later my pc gave a sound, loader 901D was already ready and I repeated the exact process.

You basically saved both of my phones!!!! THANK YOU
