Just some things before we start. My Phone is the P769 and I'm a total noob.
Alright, I rooted my phone yesterday and then proceeded to download CWM, the app of course. So, when I went to setup a custom recovery, I picked from the options they had their, to which I picked the P760. Low and behold, I found it was a horrible failure when I rebooted into recovery because I got the security error...I think I soft-bricked it? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways, I just downloaded the LGSupport Tool and eventually fixed it.
So I think my question is, where can I get a custom recovery for the P769? Am I supposed to be looking for that in the first place? As you can see, I'm quite lost.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Um...I want to say no.
Do you want custom recovery to flash themed stock roms or custom rom (like cm 11) cause for the latter you need to unlock bootloader first

I have the cm 11 rom file and the gapps file. I just can't find the correct recovery on Rom manager to reboot into so I can install the files
You will first have to unlock your boot loader in that case, follow all the instructions from the first ONLY: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480
Then, do the follwong:
1. Have one of the recoveries from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/development/p769-recoveries-p769-mirror-issues-t2879854, CM11 and the required G.Apps on your SD card.
2. Navigate (use a mirror if needed) through cwm, restore your choice of #1, and reboot into recovery again from the cwm (Under "advanced")
3. The new recovery should look different and not be mirrored, but the touch will be wonky, don't worry. Flash the CM11 and G.Apps. Do NOT reboot yet.
4. Then flash "cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip". reboot
Done!
I might get to writing a guide after my experience doing the exact same and getting my head around it for the past 2-3 days, but I have a very busy schedule, so I cna't promise anything. Besides, kuma82's guide is excellent.

First off, thank you sooo much. I got this far but right now I'm super confused. How do I restore? Is there an option to restore? Can you explain it to me a bit more specifically if you can?
Also, I didn't know I needed a literal mirror lol.

Sorry for the vague instructions, first, let me ask, is your phone successfully unlocked? Got that fastboot menu on the phone somewhere along the process? Or you can try connect in SW DL mode (Power off phone, hold Vol+ and plug in USB, should see "Unlocked bootloader").
If yes, then you should be on the European 20B with mirror screen and wonky touchscreen, follow the below instructions:
1. Have one of the recoveries from the link I posted AND CM11 (I am using dhiru's version) AND G.Apps AND cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip on to your external SD.
2. Run Start.cmd, push files (Fix_Touch-V20F.zip & MetroPCS-V10E-Radio.zip) to External SD using kuma82's tool
3. Install BusyBox and reboot into the inverted CWM recovery
4. Navigate (use a mirror if needed) through CWM, flash the recovery of your choice AND choose to reboot to recovery from within the recovery
5. (CWM should not be inverted now). Install the files in the given order without a reboot in between:
a. CM11
b. G.Apps
c. Fix_Touch-V20F.zip
d. Recovery you flashed in step 4 - This is critical, as Fix_Touch-V20F.zip installs an older recovery which may cause soft-brick, thus you need to install the recovery again
e. cwm_ts_fix_p769.zip[/INDENT]
6. Reboot

Alright, I kinda softbricked on step 4. I believe my bootloader is unlocked since I'm in CWM, right? I'm going to start from the top again, but I have a bit more confidence this time around.
On step 4 of flashed "CWM 6.0.4.8 No-Touch for P769" and then rebooted in recovery, the option under advance and got a secruity error, or a soft brick...same thing I believe. I dunno what I did wrong.
Check if your are unlocked, try going into software download mode.
Alright, when I go into SW DL, it doesn't say unlocked bootloader, it just shows what it normally shows. But I have the mirror screen and wonky touchscreen...did I miss a step or something? I did everything I believe.

There are steps missing after step 3 you need to flash radio in the inverted recovery and then reboot and the tool and run the unlock command after 45 minutes and press vol + to unlock and then flash a recovery while you're phone is still in fastboot mode (this is the mode your phone is in after you press the vol + to unlock) by using the command fastboot flash recovery (insertrecoveryname).img
Alright, after I push both files to the sd card, I try to install the radio zip, but it fails. Does the problem lie there in?
Wait, did you follow everything from the first post in this thread as I mentioned earlier: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480

Is there honestly something that should be different? Because, when I press the option to unlock the bootloader, it just reboots and what...almost identical with the results of step 6.
Am I playing with my phone wrong? What am I really supposed to do to it for 45 minutes...I want to say there in lies my problem.
Excuse me as I head to class with super inverted phone, lol.
Yes, you have to wait about 45 mins as mentioned in the step, that is why we said follow it to the T.

I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

install one. get goo manager from market place. then go in goo manager, go to settings I believe. then tell it flash open script recovery. It will flash the TWRP recovery for prime. all touch screen based. then with goo manager, you can find all the great toms for prime in there and flash directly from there. plus it'll let you know when there is updates for your custom rom. check it out. IMO, has alot more features and more straight forward that CWM recovery.
actually there a sticky thread in developement section that has video guides for the prime. one of them shows you how to install this recovery I mentioned if you unsure.
also a video showing you how to flash a custom rom, with TWRP and goo manager, is there also

2. Reboot, Install Goo Manger, Install Open script recovery. Reboot into TWRP recovery
3. Install ROMS?!?!!?!
As in I don't have to root after I unlock it already does?
I don't have root on this tablet, its on .21. I don't want to brick it, so will these steps be perfect?!

Anyone ?
I don't know about goo manager but I flashed cwm touch with fastboot (normal cwm didn't work and twrp wasn't out)

Yeah steps sound good. you could always flash a ROM that has root. I dont think you need root to install twrp. Double check though. post in twrp thread to make sure.

But does anyone know if that method will work 100%

Unlocking will not root your prime. I think Goomanager needs superuser rights so you will need to be rooted to flash TWRP (at least it asks for SU when I check for rom updates).
I use CWM since there have been a few stories floating around of people bricking their primes when trying to restore using TWRP. I am sure it is fine but it just makes me a little nervous...
If you're unlocked, not rooted and want to install CWM follow method 1 here:

There is nothing that will work 100%, but its pretty close, maybe 98%? Anytime someone does anything with the bootloader, recovery rom, or OS rom, there is a chance for bricking: interuption in the write process, loss of power, corrupted dl (crc check should catch most of those). If your worried about bricking it, leave your TFP stock and await the OTA's - that way if it gets bricked by Asus then they are responsible and you havent nullified your warranty.
Unlocking the bootloader allows the use of non stock bootloaders/recoveries to be installed and used. From the new bootloader/recovery, you can install a rom that either has root, or not. You don't even have to change roms after unlocking. The 2 are independent.
Right -
Unlocking with the APK does not root or in any other way modify or prep the prime for what you're about to do. Depending on your stock ROM revision this is either very easy or a complete pain in the ass, I'll provide both versions:
For Stock ROM ending .15 or earlier -
* DO NOT RUN THE GOO IM.MANAGER FIRST. Follow these steps below.
* Download Sparky's APK to root - it's in the development forum for the TF Prime. Run it. This will get you root access on the system. It's automated and practically idiot proof, just follow the on screen instructions.
* If you're going the Team Win route, once rooted, load up the Goo.im manager, then follow the instructions as per a rooted installation for getting TW Recovery into place. This is pretty painless really and works automatically, approve the Superuser permissions as required. Once the recovery is in, you can reboot into it and then get with the flashy.
-----
If you're on the Stock ROM ending .21, you're going to have to do what I did. As you're already unlocked using the BLOB files to downgrade -will- result in a hard brick. SO!
* Install ADB and Fastboot onto your system, as well as the universal USB naked driver which you can find on this forum.
* Search for DotTech install ADB and Fastboot - follow this guide, it's probably the easiest way to get a working fastboot and ADB environment up and running.
* Enable USB debugging on the tablet under developer options.
* Set up the universal driver, you'll need to reboot your TF201 and hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see some text in the top corner. Do NOT press volume up to go into Recovery Image mode or you'll just walk into a dead end.
* Shortly after you'll see three icons, press volume down ONCE and then volume UP once, the USB icon in the middle should be highlighted and you should see text saying "Entering Fastboot Protocol" or similar.
* Plug the USB cable into the tab and the PC, test whether you have a working fastboot install by typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if your tablet reboots without you touching it, then you've got working fastboot access. Remove the cable, reboot to fastboot mode as described above.
* Meantime, download openrecovery-twrp-2.1.3-tf201.blob from the team win site, and stuff it in the same directory that you set up Fastboot/ADB, rename it to twrp.blob. Plug your tablet back in and then issue the command fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob , if this goes to plan you'll see a couple of lines of text on the command window which will tell you that it's been successfully flashed in. YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE ROOT THOUGH, SO NO SILLY STUFF
* Finally, download the ROM of your choice, place it in the base /sdcard directory, then reboot the tab and hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN, when you see the text, this time hit VOLUME UP, and you'll be sent into the team win recovery suite, at this point you can wipe and flash the newly prepared ROM as per normal.
* For the first occasion I -strongly- recommend you use Virtuous Prime-S as you can generate a solid backup environment out of it, as well as the fact it's not too departed from Stock, so it's a good way to break yourself in.
Hope this helps.
This whole blob thing is new for me since i have always insta-rooted, and CWM'ed any android device i get; but from what I've gathered, it is used by ASUS to lowlevel write the os on locked systems, similar to the way nvflash dumps img's directly to the memory. Once your unlocked with the CWM or twrp, then you can no longer use blobs, just the rom zips. The recovery rom handles the unpacking and dumping of the kernel and OS into the appropriate partitions. Some roms are zipped with install scripts that wipe your cache, user space and dalvik - but its always a safe bet to do that anyways.
Nice writeup Hobbesian
Well, some blobs are fine, but generally they're strictly either Team Win Recovery or Clockwork mod recovery suites, and they need to be slipped in using fastboot (I believe ROM manager and GOO managers use their own scripts to handle installation) as a rough rule. The "big" BLOB files which Asus puts out are a guarantee to hardbrick an unlocked device (some days I wonder if it would kill Asus to offer a route to re-lock and re-stock a device on the proviso that if you brick it doing so you're still out of warranty).
That said - Virtuous Prime is definitely an excellent first step into Custom ROM tinkering, it gives you root and all the associated useful features, as well as the ability to start experimenting with more feature heavy ROM builds such as Cyanogen and AOKP Cornerstone. They're even nice enough to include a partially tweaked build.prop which saves you a lot of the work in modifying that.
I should point out my guide is relevant only if you already applied the unlock APK to your system, if you haven't done so, there's alternative routes including the downgrade blob option to get root without unlocking your device.

Unlocking will not root your prime. I think Goomanager needs superuser rights so you will need to be rooted to flash TWRP (at least it asks for SU when I check for rom updates).
I use CWM since there have been a few stories floating around of people bricking their primes when trying to restore using TWRP. I am sure it is fine but it just makes me a little nervous...
If you're unlocked, not rooted and want to install CWM follow method 1 here:

The method 1 in the link will install ClockWorkMod which I use as my recovery. You can completly miss step 3. If you really want to use TWRP then do the goomanager thing.
However, before you do a wipe and install AOKP (ethher from CWM or TWRP) MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM!! That's important (hence caps ) - people are always on here complaining that they are soft bricked because of a bad download and not making a backup.
EDIT: if you're in fastboot and you cannot get adb to recognize your prime you need to install the correct drivers for your pc/mac. Hobbesian describes how to do this a few posts above this. In his nice write up he also describes how to flash TWRP directly from fastboot. If you want TWRP, follow his instructions since you'll have less messing around to do.

I think both ways are the same. There's no correct answer to that. It depends on whether you would prefer to use CWM or TWRP.
I have 2.5 version and using jelly beans build 20. (Rooted and flashed a year ago with occasional updates.)
Im reading about glitches with 2.6. Should I update my TWRP or not?
And if I do, how without goomanager working? I got the download on the mirror site. But how EXACTLY do I flash it?
Can I select "flash ROM" in goomanager or somehow in TWRP itself?
I understand there is a way with terminal manager but when I read the commands, I want to see quotes on what to type.
Is this the question and troubleshooting forum?

I just download the new TWRP zip, reboot, and install zip from the old version of TWRP. Then reboot and it will be the new version.
Thank you for replying.

So, instead of doing a little research, you want a step by step? Here you go:
1. Go here and download the latest zip file --> http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/t0ltevzw
(openrecovery-twrp=2.6.3.0-t0ltevzw.zip
2. Reboot your phone into TWRP recovery (power button, reboot recovery)
3.Click on Install
4. Find your file from open(saved to downloads or where ever)
5. Swipe to confirm flash
6. When it is done, click on Reboot System
7. It will reboot into TWRP and you will be on the latest version

I did step one.
I did several searches on "how to update twrp" and other variations of that search, but invariably they just say "flash it" or "use goomanager". Hell, even twrp.com even says flash it. I could not find step by step directions for flashing a recovery.
Thank you.
I have flashed beans updates with goomanager but screwing up "recovery" makes me nervous!
the easiest way is to go into goo manager. press your phone settings button, and then press install openrecoveryscript. goo manager does the rest
This didn't help my confidence: (from the other twrp thread)
sublimaze said:
Your partition table may have been corrupted when playing with twrp. Flash the stock rom image together with the stock .pit file via Odin. The .pit file is the partition information. You should be able to find these in the stock recovery thread.
Lesson of the day:
If it ain't broke, then don't fix it!
Don't mess with a functioning recovery unless the new version fixes something you really need.

Ah... no.
Goomanager downloads dont hardly work anymore. Sits forever on the download screen. Something about to many people downloading on slow connections.
Hey guys,
I'm still running the stock EUI ROM and getting pretty sick of it.
I've looked at getting my bootloader unlocked and installing TWRP but it seems pretty complicated for this device and what information I could find didn't work for me.
Can anyone show me some noob friendly guides on getting this done?
Much appreciated!
What?!? I never had a phone which bootloader unlocks easier than in Le Max 2. You have a special switch for that i developer options. That's all. Next you have to restart your phone in bootloader mode and flash desired recovery using fastboot commands.

Wow, I didn't know that's how you unlock the bootloader. Sorry like I said I'm not very familiar with this device yet. Thanks!
As far as using fastbood commands I tried that but the drivers didn't seem to work on my PC. I couldn't get any of that to work. But I'll keep trying.
If you have anything like Samsung Kies or HTC Sync, etc. installed on your PC, you might try to remove it and reinstall drivers using "15 seconds ADB installed".
i just posted this yesterday,. i guess i could have chosen a better title... do you have any suggestions?? (maybe "full guide: adb, fastboot, twrp recovery, backup, flashing"?????)

Wow! That fastboot program was amazingly simple. Thank you! How did I know find this before. The other guides are very long.
So that installed cuoco92's ROM as well as TWRP. Do you suggest using his ROM? That second link you provided in the next paragraph didn't work.
I was looking for a very clean and vanilla android like ROM. I hate EUI and am excited for that CM 14.1 build but it's not ready yet.
Thanks again very much!

Back to Stock with @raystef66's Files
This guide used a method stemmed from paranoia. Now that we have decent flashable files everything is much simpler!
We'll be using raystef66's flashable TWRP files to go completely back to stock. At the end there's instructions if you want to lock your bootloader.
Be sure that you are on the latest TWRP version!
1) Files to Download:
- TWRP Flashable Bootstack/Stocksystem Image from here: Download Center. Download the latest BOOTSTACK and STOCKSYSTEM from there.
- If you want to lock the bootloader, also download the STOCK RECOVERY zip from the same stocksystem version that you downloaded. The flashable stock recovery zips are on the Factory Images Division, right above the TWRP flashable files.
- Magisk 15.2 (or latest), or SuperSU 2.79 (Latest not recommended ). If you will relock the bootloader, skip this part.
2) Installation
- Put all the files on the internal storage or SD card. Backup your important stuff from the internal storage, because you might need to format it!
- Go to TWRP. Wipe data, system and cache (don't format data though).
- Install the bootstack that you downloaded. Then install the stock system.
- If you will NOT relock the bootloader, install Magisk or SuperSU
- Reboot
If the phone asks for a password when it gets to the system, go to TWRP. It will ask for a password, just select Cancel. After you're on the main TWRP screen, select Wipe, then Format data, then type yes. After that, reboot.
3) 5 second screen removal / restore Fastboot
This is useful whether you're relocking the bootloader or not. Just go to raystef66's guide and follow it completely. After doing it your phone will have Fastboot (very good for softbricks and relocking), no 5 seconds screen (your phone will boot up faster) and it will be even closer to full stock.
4) ONLY FOR RELOCKING - Replace TWRP with Stock Recovery
Simply go to TWRP and flash the stock recovery file you downloaded. After that, enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging from the dev options, and then go to Fastboot and issue "fastboot oem lock".
@Choose an username... thanks for the credits.
you can return to stock in that way. you can reflash twrp with tool, allways checking bootloader still unlocked.
I allway update in this way, reboot to twrp, flash the recovery image, not a zip, its the same, but I make sure that the recovery correspond to the base version in my phone. after that, I reboot to system directly, update in the ota way, or the zip way, but from running android, rooted or not, and I dont have to wipe.
After update is done, the most important thing is leave the phone till it is completly booted, then you can reflash twrp with axon7tool again.
You dont need to root, you dont need anything to keep twrp. You only need to flash supersu or magisk if you use darkenfx zips. And if you do it, you have to backup wipe and restore cause you lose encryptation.
But thats all. I think stock rom its still the best, not in battery life, but in camera and bundled apps, It works perfectly, except, I have 2 bugs since allways, wake up with proximity sensor covered, and whatsapp online with app in background, I can live with that
I can re-lock bootloader after this process?
thanks for the guide.
Help Needed ! A2017g Bricked while trying to returning to stock
Hi, Please help me to get my Axon 7 in a working state. I was using Xenon HD Rom for A2017g Oreo. With twrp version as suggested in the guide.
I followed the procedure, installed the bootstack and then stock system B09
But when I tried to reboot, it said no OS Installed. Then I rebooted, and it was stuck at bootloader with no twrp and just the message as follows :
Android Recovery : ZTE/P996A04_N/ailsa_ii
7.1.1/NMF26V/20171120.101942
user/release-keys

and then certain other options in blue
Please help !
I also have a Problem.

Enter the recovery, it should be the stock one (turn the phone off, then hold vol+ and power). Then download a stock B10 file (not the twrp flashable one) and install it from an SD card
No its not the stock one, its still TWRP.
I only flashed Bootstack and stock system (step 2). The reboot afterwards doesnt work
What do you mean by "a stock B10 file"? There are so many files types :-/
I am not quite sure what I should do now, do I have to do the EDL route? That one sounds confusing as well.
EDIT: I tried using B08 Files and now the reboot prompt in TWRP tells me there is no os installed.
Will I, like naveen09y, end up without TWRP if I reboot now?

Probably, so just don't. You should just wipe system and data, flash the bootstack, then the system. Also follow raystef's guide to "remove bootloader unlocked inscription"
I now managed to get the phone working with EDL flash of MM B10.
But I cant relock the bootloader :-/
Bascially my bootloader is gone so I cant reboot to it and do "fastboot oem lock".
Why is this such a hassle

You didn't follow my instructions. Follow raystef's removed unlocked bootloader inscription and you'll get fastboot back. You can do that with the phone on.
Don't relock it unless it's really necessary (i.e. warranty). If you're gonna sell it just follow that guide and don't relock, the 5 seconds screen will disappear and it'll look like it's locked
I cant follow the guide because I can't access the bootloader...

What? Lol
First of all - you are basically installing the bootloader with raystef's guide, so I have no idea why you want to enter it...
You have to enter TWRP and follow the guide from there.
The guide from Controllerboy is basically the same guide but it also has instructions on other things (i.e. unlock etc.). I don't know what you are trying to accomplish with it. Use EDL Tool by djkuz if you want to install TWRP (it is explained there how to do that).
Phone was rooted with Magisk 16, I was on AEX Android 8.1 ROM. I'm trying to return to stock and relock bootloader.
I wiped everything, I flashed A2017G-N-B10-bootstack and A2017G-N-B10-stocksystem from "TWRP flashable Bootstack/Stocksystem Images" section. Booted to system and now phone is stuck on the ZTE POWERED BY android boot screen. 5 minutes there. Is it normal?
Edit: Got tired of waiting and kept pressing the power button. After doing so, the phone reboots but same thing. And I can't access TWRP with VOL INCREASE + POWER BUTTON.... VOL DECREASE + POWER BUTTON takes me to Factory Test Mode.

The best way to return to stock is via EDL, for example MiFlash or EDL tool. If you have an U, then DrakenFX's zips can do that, it happened to me already. Usually G zips like raystef's work just fine.
Try using Magisk instead of SuperSU, just in case. Use 16.7
