Didnt that axon bootloader zip come from zte wouldn't it be signed with a different signing key if modded for our device we would have to change the keys to match our device
I have an idea of where the keys for OTA updates are stored in recovery (got the info from the AOSP site) but I haven't found a way to pull recovery without root

I also tweeted to the CEO of T-Mobile asking if he can request ZTE to allow the bootloader to be unlocked, I don't know if he'll notice it tho.

Ok got u thanks. But I'm going to wait don't wanna screw myself outa root lol. Any advancement on the axon 7 zip?
Well decide for yourself about grabbing the update, sometimes they can close off routes for root. As for the Axon 7, These things are usually quite device specific, and we haven't overcome signing problems (which I doubt we will. if sha hashes and public key signing were compromised would be a huge issue, and hasn't been done yet) so it's not an issue yet.

Any modifications would require re-signing which really isn't feasible. Also, even signed, It seems like a bad idea to try and flash a boot loader meant for one device to another.

Mine just went to 100% as well. But didn't stick smh. Perhaps and just pulling this out my a$$ when u close kingroot it loses root and maybe someone smart could try something via USB while kr is still running. Also are we getting to 100 on b08 and b12 or just b08? Idk this is pissing me off. Will never buy a zte phone again

We'll 70% now .. maybe b12 has more of a chance at root than b08.

I doubt flashify will support this phone or that there is a twrp for us. Besides I've used flashify before it wipes the system or it did for me lol
I'm pretty sure as long as u have temp or perma root flashify(hint root app) will work on any phone I've never heard of it wiping ur system. There is a twrp messi made a couple of weeks back
