    Got the below ZTE Axon 7 bootloader unlock link and follow as directed in the link:

    ZTE Axon 7 LineageOS 14.1, Nougat 7.1 ROM

    The guide is for ZTE Axon 7 though.
    You can try the same thing on ZTE Axon 7S and see if it really works for you or not!

    [quote quote=24326]The term ‘$’ is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
    spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
    [/quote]

    You need to remove the $ from the command that you are executing.
    Execute only the following:
    fastboot oem unlock

    Trying to install TWRP on a Lenovo P1a42. I am stuck at step 1 of unlocking the bootloader.
    1. I downloaded and installed the ADB & Fastboot installer and the OEM/Google usb drivers. When I try to use the command “adb …..” , it fails and says “adb not recognized as an internal or external command or operable program”. I can see the abd folder with 5 files under my C:\ drive.
    2. Cannot locate the correct TWRP file.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi @Shibaa987, First of all Thanks for your guides and support.

    Now, Im getting stucked in the last step, after typing the commands “fastboot oem unlock” or “fastboot -i 0x19d2 oem unlock” appear a message “< waiting for any device >” then nothing happens.

    I’m sure that all is ready (USB debugging enabled, OEM Unlocking enabled,etc).

    Please I need your help, My device is ZTE AXON 7S (newer version of AXON 7).

    Thank you so much.

    I guess the ADB & Fasboot Drivers are not installed for your Device on the PC. For any Android Device the USB drivers and the ADB & Fastboot drivers are different.

    Can you tell me which Device you were trying with??? Then I can search the fastboot drivers for you.

    Hello? I followed the steps to unlock bootloader on Wileyfox Swift,but surprisingly,I managed to unlock it yet I didn’t lose any data in my phone. Is that possible?
    When I try to repeat the process,cmd tells me Device already unlocked. But going ahead to install TWRP has become hard for me. I adb and fastboot installed,USB drivers for wileyfox,and required twrp .img file. So,I was wondering,which cmd do I use,I have the original windows one,and the adb and fastboot one.
    Please help,thanks.

    Hello,
    I see that for my Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus, which should be a “Xiaomi (Newer Devices)”, the unlock bootloader guide is un-supported.
    Is there an alternative ?
