This is for Marshmallow B13. However, I can confirm that installing twrp using tenfars tool still works even on latest B17 nougat or B08 mifavor 5.
However, some users don't have luck with it.
I advise to check first on Axon Toolkit located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/tool-axon7toolkit-t3573108
I made this guide for users who haven't unlocked and rooted their A2017 B13 chinese version.
After reading so many guides here from @tenfar, @DrakenFX, and many others, I finally unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed TWRP and Xposed.
I take no responsibility if anything happens to your phone while doing this process. Just follow every step stated here and hope you don't mess around. Please READ all the instructions here first before doing anything.
Backup all your important data before you do any steps below. This process will delete all contents of your phone except external sdcard.
Step 1: Download the zip file and extract all files to your local disk in one folder.
TWRP recovery 3.1.0-0
axon7root.zip
TWRP_UnlockBootloaderPackage_by_DrakenFX.zip do not extract this file.
Step 2: Enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking under Developer options. to show Developer options, go to Settings, About phone, tap Build Number 7x.
Step 3: Open Windows Explorer and browse to the folder where you extracted the files downloaded above. Press and hold SHIFT key then right click and choose Open Command Window here. type:
Code:
adb reboot edl
This will reboot the phone in edl mode where it's just black screen.
Step 4: Install the Qualcomm's driver .
Download Qualcomm driver to your local disk ,extract and install it
Qualcomm 9008 driver : http://d-h.st/35tx
in the install process choose WWAN, the first option.
Alternative: you could just also install the native drivers provided by the phone. If you have done step 2 already, just long press Power button for about 10seconds to reboot to its system. Once booted, connect your phone to your pc via usb and swipe down from the notification. Choose "install drivers" from the connect options. Open your Windows Explorer and find the new drive containing the driver. After installing, repeat step 3.
Step 5 : open your PC's device manager and find out the com port number which your phone is from COM ports & LPT tree.
Code:
Usage Example: axon7root.exe -p COM4 -b -r
Options:
-p Port number eg: COM8 or 8
-b write boot.img only
-r write recovery.img only
-d dump boot.img and recovery.img from phone(not impl yet)
Step 6: in the command window from step 3, type:
Code:
axon7backup.exe -p COM# -d
replace # with the number of your COM PORT.
This will save the backup files for you stock boot and recovery image.
Step 7: to install TWRP, type:
Code:
axon7root.exe -p COM# -r
Step 8: reboot to TWRP by holding POWER + UP buttons.
Optional:
Step 8a: Copy twrp-3.1.0-0-ailsa_ii.img to your sdcard/extsd. Update to latest TWRP. Install -> IMG (lower right button) -> choose twrp-3.1.0-0-ailsa_ii.img. (Don't reboot to system yet)
Step 8b: From the TWRP, find Reboot to recovery. verify that you have version 3.1.0-0 already.
Step 9: Copy TWRP_UnlockBootloaderPackage_by_DrakenFX.zip to your sdcard/extsd.
Step 10: Back-up and pull current fastboot image. Type:
Code:
adb shell dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/fbop of=/sdcard/fbop_lock.img
adb pull /sdcard/fbop_lock.img
Step 11: Flash/Install TWRP_UnlockBootloaderPackage_by_DrakenFX.zip. (do not reboot yet)
Step 12: Type:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Step 13: Now let's Unlock the Bootloader. (THIS WILL WIPE DATA+INTERNAL STORAGE)
Type:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
Confirm yes from your phone.
Step 14: You'll boot in TWRP. once there do the following:
Code:
* tap CANCEL
* tap WIPE
* tap FORMAT DATA and Follow the Instructions
Step 15: Once done, REBOOT system. Follow the setup wizard to gain access to your phone. enable USB debugging again.
Optional: To install root, Boot to recovery again and install/flash SUPERSU 2.79. download at UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip and copy to your sdcard.
To install Xposed (for MM only), flash xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip and install the apk XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk.
Do not REBOOT after installation of Supersu and Xposed. Instead, go to Terminal and type:
Code:
reboot disemmcwp
Credits to all the great minds here in xda for doing all their best.
UPDATE: TWRP flashable zips available. Credits to @parazite69 and the russians for these.

the file can be found on this thread.

I can confirm it's not working, root, unlocked and TWRP.
If somebody can compile B13 for TWRP will really help us.
Thanks!
You're right. You'll need stock recovery to do a full update though. I haven't backed up my B11 stock recovery but I do have the B13 stock boot and recovery. Message me if you want those files.
Sadly no one else wants to make a twrp update for B13. And I don't know how. I already asked from draken a couple of months ago but i think he has never got a time for it.
Can you help me,
I try to step by step but step 8
Went i push POWER + UP volume, i have a black screen, not TWRP, i can not do any thing
I would love to try this since I want to try installing a2017U nougat ora2017 G software instead Chinese stock but the link for axon7backup: http://d-h.st/Ienb is timing out and dead. I can't seem to get any twrp recoveries working with the other axon7tool method https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/axon7tool-flash-backup-boot-recovery-t3514254 and also the signed twrp is gone. I need a working recovery the files from here. Will try reinstalling b10 and then try find b11 for the current recoveries to see if any work instead of giving me a black recovery screen.
Hello was wondering about the terminal reboot portion. I've been rooted with SU for a few days now can I just flash Xposed and install the apk without the worry of using terminal? Thanks

try pressing just the power and Up buttons until it reboots and release when you see the ZTE logo. that should enter you into recovery.

It's probably just my pc or browser. It's ok though since I managed bootloader unlock and flash twrp with this guide instead:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/edl-emergency-dl-mode-twrp-unlock-t3553514/
Thanks for your help though
I have one (stupid) question for which I can't find answer: I stuck at step 2 when I need to enable OEM unlocking. Problem is that some PIN is required but I don't know it and don't know where to find it? Many thanks!

ZVA TOT is out!
Thanks, once again, to our anonymous donor we now have the ZVA TOT. I have also broken down the TOT and uploaded the individual partitions which can be flashed if rooted and custom recovery(TWRP) is installed. Speaking of root it seems the Download Mode root still works with some modifications that l33tlinuxh4x0r figured out... check his thread out for that - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/one-click-root-zva-t3141390
Changelog:
Factory Reset Protection
--TOT (*.zip) can be downloaded *HERE*
Flash this TOT using the same method as ZV4/ZV6/etc. You will need to select "Board DL" in LG Flash, otherwise you will get stuck. After the TOT flashes it will reboot your phone into the "MiniOS".. unplug the USB cable and press and hold the power button on the phone then press on the "Normal Boot" option on your phones screen. You are now on stock ZVA.
--Individual ZVA partitions to flash manually can be downloaded *HERE*
*disclaimer -- you can mess your phone up if you do not know what you're doing*
Also, you may need a "bump'd" stock boot.img if you are still running on the old KK bootloader. See my post HERE for a bump'd boot.img.
The ZVA bootloader blocks Bump... do not flash the bootloader img files if you want to use Bump'd files. If manually updating I'd suggest system.img, boot.img, modem.img, tz.img and rpm.img.
To manually flash a partition in TWRP use ADB shell or TWRP's built in terminal to enter the following commands after placing the files on your internal sdcard (changes to commands will be needed if file names change or location of img files changes):
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot
dd if=/sdcard/modem.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
dd if=/sdcard/rpm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm
dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz
(be sure to wipe data in TWRP [wipe button > swipe slider] if coming from an "AOSP-type" rom)
--ZV8-to-ZVA OTA update.zip *NOTYETAVAILABLE*
Anyone have the OTA link? I will assume the manual steps to update w OTA zip still work but as I do not have the phone someone will need to confirm... the steps for zv6 -> zv8 are below and should work the same with zv8 -> zva
You must be on ZV8 and have a stock recovery and stock system partition for this to work.
Directions:
1. Rename downloaded .zip into update.zip
2. Remove USB cable from phone.
3. Power phone off.
4. Press and hold volume down + power until you boot into stock recovery.
5. Select "update with adb"
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Alternate Directions to skip using ADB (needs microSD card):
1. Format microSD card as EXT4.
2. Rename downloaded .zip to update.zip
3. Move update.zip onto external SD card. EZ way would be to stick SD card in phone then connect phone to PC and use MTP.
4. Power off and boot into stock recovery (vol down + power)
5. Select the Update from SDCARD option.
Alternate Directions to skip using ADB (must have root):
1. Stick OTA zip file in the /cache directory
2. Power off and boot into stock recovery (vol down + power)
3. Select the Update from cache option... then select the update zip you placed in /cache

So I've got most of the zip built but I keep running into boot problems. I'm getting past the error when you turn the device on and it's about the boot img not being bumped. So I used the one from the old post. Starts to boot fine but device then goes to LG Security Error. Amy idea?

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"?????)

No, actually you need to disable the signature verification if I recall it right. I can't find the thread for win10 driver installation right now but for sure I have seen it on xda for LeMax2
Here is the tuturial for noobs (I was noob too and I wrote it for people like me):
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-m...a-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!

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!

Here is the tuturial for noobs (I was noob too and I wrote it for people like me):
Here is the quick tutorial for users like me:
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Connect phone to the computer
3. Unzip this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669609 and run LE_X2_fastboot.exe
4. Wait until it say "Press any button to reboot phone" and just press random button
5. Your phone will boot into system
If you want change to China 21s with SuperSU, you just have to:
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press VolumeUp + Power button - it's gonna boot you to TWRP
3. You can now upload the 21s.zip and SuperSU-v2.78...zip files to your phone from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-m...a-rom-t3492640
4. On your phone go to Whipe and whipe all data (swipe blue arrow)
5. Go to Install and choose 21s.zip and wait - when it ends it's gonna boot you to the system
6. Turn off your phone and again boot to Recovery (VolumeUp + Power button)
7. Choose Install and choose SuperSU.zip and there you are!
Now you're gonna have China 21s with root and SuperSu!

The process I am aware of is
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install twrp (or any custom recovery) in fastboot mod
3. Flash SuperSu zip to get root access.
Can you please explain in your tutorial the first paragraph can do this? I just want these 3 thing to do mentioned above. Thanks.

5. Your phone will boot into system
unlocks you Bootloader, installs TWRP and installs Cuoco92 with root and everything included.
You can install new ROM like 21s and just flash SuperSu zip to get it.

Buddy, I am still finding proper steps to flash twrp, so I can't guide you on custom roms.
Can you please give the steps those you followed in order to install twrp. Thanks

Hi guys,
for those on system/bootstack by tron1, this is what i did to flash B02 with root and fastboot working.
Thnx to @wineds , @tron1
In detail this is what i did ( because i couldn't update the .zip from sd nor update through adb sideload after i installed stock recovery 711 - @wineds could flash the .zip over SD though - thats up to you to choose)
1. I redownloaded fota B02 (to be sure ) from : http://dl1.ztems.com/zxmdmp/downloa...ages/HK/ZTE/ZTE A2017G/401379/fota_B02_B04.up
2. I didn't change .up to .zip. Put it in ADB folder (you know how...)
3. reinstalled Bootstack B01 tron1 via TWRP ( i reuploaded it here because some users had zip problems : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767157153 )
4. reinstalled System B01 tron1 via TWRP ( i reuploaded and checked it again because some users had zip problems : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862722738 )
5. installed stock recovery from factory img 7.11 , I uploaded it here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120725539
6. in TWRP reboot to recovery----> you will reboot in stock recovery
7. update from ADB sideload ( adb sideload yourupdateB02file.up)
8. let it update...will take +-5 min in my case, in my case it was hanging a while on 47% (i thought it froze and tapped on power once, it continued...perhaps you don't have to and wait )
9. reboot system----> you'll have B02
10. use adb again, use ADB REBOOT EDL (https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-install-twrp-unlock-bl-flash-t3517379), use command ' axon7tool -w recovery' just to reflash TWRP 3.0.2.2 (if needed : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862720446) . It will reboot system ok. Reenter TWRP 3.022 again and stay there.
11 to get fastboot again, use same thread as above under B ( leave TWRP running), in ADB you'll see you're in recovery mode, that's ok.
12. refollow steps 6 to 14. Reboot to fastboot will be ok again !
13 now in ADB type : fastboot flash recovery 'yourlatestrecovery 3.1'.img (if needed : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862720448)
14. fastboot reboot
14. your system will reboot without the anoying " blah blah blah unlocked"
15 reenter TWRP 3.1 again and flash SU2.79 again
16 done
17 pls comment/feedback if you succeeded as well

I tried your method, everything is fine until I sideload b02 because I get a message when the current system is being verified "E3005: EMMC:/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot: (here are some numbers) has unexpected content" Error in sideload Status 8
And I cannot update to B02, even though currently I am on b01 by tron1 .

Have you tried in stock recovery to update with sd instead of sideload with adb? You also could try changing . UP to . ZIP

this method has been tried originally by @wineds - he only updated via SD, that's all and changed .up into .zip
In fact you have nothing to fear because when f.e. you're in stock recovery and things won't update as expected, you always can go back in ADB and flash recovery again with axon7tool (EDL) etc...there's always a way out. And have root back....
When your update succeeds after all, you WILL obtain root again as i discribed. Just follow the steps carefully.
I managed to do this in 1 take

Yes rename FOTA as a .zip file and try update from SD card in stock recovery. The fIle needs to be on your external SD. However the error seems to indicate one of your partitions has been modified.
Isn't it easier to
-update to B02
-axon7tool -w recovery
-disconnect before the Success, rebooting countdown ends
-boot TWRP??
Someone made a flashable fastboot zip. haven't tested yet but I guess it will get us fastboot easier

Nope, did that too and was a no go. That would have been one of the options to do (i made a thread for this too) but in this case fastboot didn't want to boot with that method strange enough. But you could try and see for your self.
For me this method worked great and i stay 100% stock despite other flashable b02's which are customized.

Yeah, fastboot doesn't want to boot because it isn't there... I mean get to EDL then flash TWRP from there with axon7tool.
I used this method on my guide and it's been working flawlessly

Yeah, and you can flash that once you get TWRP
I'm going to update that guide, but the XDA app doesn't let me edit, and I'm far away from a computer. I'll write the process and see if I can try to get fastboot with that zip storming did. For now the process i have in mind is:
Get axon7tool, adb reboot edl, install Zadig qusb_bulk drivers, reload edl with 3 buttons, axon7tool -w recovery (after a backup ofc), disconnect before the tool restarts the phone (you get stock recovery), flash that zip.

Works too you know :laugh:
Never mind how you do it every method is ok.
I kept it to the basics every one should know by now. In fact performing the steps to get fastboot again lasts no more then a minute. Just copy paste...
Btw, don't brick your phone again! :cyclops: as i remember you came from the other side of the moon...

Hi, when I try to flash stocksystem by tron1, TWRP tell me that the zip is incorrect and he can't flash it. I tried to download it again and again but still doesn't work.

Dont think the zip is incorrect. Flashed it without any errors. Others too. You're on latest 3.1.0.0 and SU2.79? Is zip in root of sd/internal?
No on external sd

I haven't had any luck building or finding TWRP yet for the ZenFone AR, but I found a way to get root access without needing the recovery.
To start, you will need:
The unlock APK from ASUS:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZS571KL/SIGNED_UnlockTool-9.0.0.35.apk
The matching system image for your phone: BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION BETWEEN JP (Japan) AND WW (WorldWide) or your wifi will break.
https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-AR-ZS571KL/HelpDesk_Download/
As of the time of writing, I downloaded:
ZS571KL Software Image: V14.1600.1711.36 for WW/TIM SKU only
The installation steps are pretty standard, but I'll summarize them here:
1) Get working copies of adb and fastboot
2) Push the Unlock APK to your phone and install and unlock on the device. THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA.
3) Install Magisk Manager as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
A) Download this APK, copy to your phone, and install.
B) From your system image, uncompress and find the boot.img and copy to your SD Card.
C) Open MagiskManager and Press Install > Install > Patch Boot Image File, and select your stock boot image file (boot.img)
D) Magisk Manager will now download a file and patch your boot image, and store it in [Internal Storage]/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img
E) Copy the patched boot image to your PC. If you can't find it via MTP, you can pull the file with ADB: adb pull /sdcard/MagiskManager/patched_boot.img
F) adb reboot bootloader
G) sudo fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img
H) Press the Power button to "Start"
You should now have MagiskManager installed, this is a program similar to SuperSU and it can enable and manage root for you.
Try look the TWRP of the Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe if you can use it

This is great!! Why isn't Verizon supported in this method? Is it because of the unlocking process?
Worked well for me with the installation via the magick.apk (non-recovery/non-rooted method) on the WW model.
Without this thread, i would not have known the unlock apk had been released nor that Majick worked with the AR.
thank you chadrockey

I would consider the Verizon version an almost different phone. I've been fortunate enough to have them side by side and they are very different. The builds and model numbers are different, as well as things you wouldn't expect like screen coloration or the scaling and menu options for the screens. There's also changes like the USB working much differently on the Verizon (much more locked down).
I haven't tried using the unlock tool on the Verizon model, but I don't expect it to work. As long as that's the case, I wouldn't expect root to come to Verizon.
Suspicious link
Why is the link to the apk redirected and hosted on an untrustworthy site? I would advise against using this app from this link.
Everything about the link screams malware.

Thanks as first for that thread. I did it, it has been patched and booted successfully but my device is it no rooted yet...
hello,please help for Verizon device
i want to root it as any device,also i want to install custom Rom as normal as any device !!
any help and co operate ??
This guide will show you how to root your Nokia 4.2. This has been tested on TA-1157 and is working fine.
**Important** - If fastboot does not recognise your device In step 5, You need to download a driver. Here is the link: Download Driver (by Beebom)
Search up how to install custom driver and install it to the “Android” device.
Requirements:
Nokia 4.2 with unlocked bootloader
USB Cable
ADB/Fastboot.
Python
Your current ROM file
Internet.
Downloads:
ADB Installer (by Snoop05 on xda) : Download
Python : Download
Payload Dumper (vm03 on github): Download ( Click on code and select "download ZIP")
Magisk APK (on your phone) : Download APK ( Scroll down and you will find the APK file)
Code:
** I have only tested this on TA-1157. Other models may not work, but technically they should work.**
** Your warranty is now Void**
Step 1
Enable USB debugging on your phone. If you do not know how to do this, Search it up. It is easy.
Once that's enabled, Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop and open the command prompt (cmd) and type adb devices. It should show your device in the list.
Step 2
Locate the Python folder. To do this, simply type "python" in the start menu and click open file location. Then, Right click on "python.exe" and open properties. Then click open file location.
Once the folder opens, make sure to not close it.
Download the payload dumper.py which I have linked in the downloads section. Extract it and place the contents of the file in the Python folder.
Step 3
Download the ROM file. If you are using lineage OS on your Nokia 4.2, Download that file. If you are using the Stock rom, Download that. It should be a .zip file.
Extract the stuff from that file and take payload.bin and move it to the python folder.
Now, Open cmd in that directory by right clicking and opening cmd. Then, Type the following commands,
Code:
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
then type,
Code:
python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
Once it is done extracting, Open the "output" folder. There you will find the "boot.img" file
Step 4
Use your USB cable or Google drive to transfer the "boot.img" to your phone. Once you have done that, Download the Magisk APK on your phone and install the app. (APK link in downloads section)
Once you have installed Magisk, open it and click "Install". Select the file from your phone and wait a few minutes for magisk to patch the "boot.img" file.
Once Magisk is finished patching, there will be a new file which magisk has created. Transfer the patched file to your computer via the USB cable or Google drive and make sure to rename it as "magisk_patched.img"
Step 5
You are almost done! Open CMD in the folder where you saved the "magisk_patched.img" and type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
then type
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
Once done, Reboot your phone and Voila! Your phone is now rooted. Make sure to open the magisk app and check it.
If you need any help or you get any errors, post it down here below.
