Zte blade 2 official firmware. Flashing ZTE Blade: instructions, firmware, download links

Perhaps, for no ZTE model there is such a large number of official and custom firmware as for ZTE Blade. It's hard to say which one is the best firmware for ZTE Blade, it depends on personal preferences.

Before considering any ZTE Blade firmware options, it is necessary to mention that this smartphone comes in two versions: Gen1 and Gen2. You can determine the Gen using the Ask Mr Pigfish application, developed specifically for the ZTE Blade. You can download it for free from the Google Market. Gen2 has some advantages over Gen1, such as better signal strength, HSUPA support, 850mhz band for GSM and 3G, and the ability to install new versions of Cyanogenmod in the future.

• In the unpacked partition redistribution archive, run download_nochecksGen2.exe, click Start and do not touch anything until a notification appears that the installation is complete. After completion, press ok.
• Go to "advanced" select "Reboot Recovery".
• CWM will restart, after which we install SS RLS4b or CyanogenMod from CWM (when installing SS RLS4b, it will write your Gen2 device generation).

The need for firmware for the ZTE Blade phone arises among users of these smartphones quite often. The fact is that the software of these Chinese mobile devices leaves much to be desired, especially if you purchased the phone directly from China. An operating program is usually put on it, which is completely unadapted for use in Russia. Needless to say: most often only two basic languages ​​\u200b\u200bare available here - English and Chinese. Of course, using such a gadget is not very convenient. Therefore, it would be logical to decide to flash the ZTE phone yourself. Moreover, it is quite easy and very fast to do it. The instruction we offer below is suitable for any ZTE phone model, including L2. The algorithm of actions is, in principle, the same for all smartphones on the Android platform, and the differences between them are minimal.

For the firmware, we will need to have at hand, of course, the phone itself, a computer or laptop, as well as a USB cable, with which we will connect the device to the PC. It is also extremely important to do the following:

1. Save all data stored in the device's memory on an alternative medium. In other words - make a full backup.
2. Charge your smartphone to at least 30%. The process of installing new software will take time, and it is very important that it is not interrupted due to the fact that the battery is dead. It will be optimal to start flashing by fully charging the battery.
3. Download the archive with the firmware and unzip it.

Flashing methods

There are two ways to flash a ZTE smartphone. One of them involves the use of an auxiliary program - . It is installed on a computer, and, accordingly, the entire procedure for changing the software will take place only if it is continuously connected to it via USB. In the second option, we can not do without an SD memory card. It is up to you personally to choose the appropriate method, they do not differ in efficiency. In both cases, you first need to download an archive containing custom firmware to your computer, and also make sure that you have custom recovery installed. Remember: only custom recovery will allow you to install custom firmware.

FlashTool

1. We load the program.
2. Specify the path to the firmware file. Its name must end with scatter.
3. We start the installation by agreeing with the system warning about deleting all data from the smartphone.
4. When a message appears on the computer screen that the installation is complete (usually after a few minutes), disconnect the USB, turn on the phone and start setting it up.

SD card

There are not so many differences from the previous method, the main one is that the file with the new firmware should be initially downloaded to the memory card, then inserted into the phone and entered into recovery mode. You no longer need to connect to a computer.

1. We perform a complete data reset from the device. In principle, flashing can be done without this step, but from experience this entails the appearance of glitches in the new system.
2. Specify the path to the new firmware file stored on the memory card.
3. We start flashing, wait a few minutes until a signal appears on the screen about its successful completion, and start setting up the mobile device.

Review ZTE Blade L2

A good smartphone, originally came with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, out of the box, I mean. And then it was officially updated to Kitkat (4.4), which pleased. And now there are a lot of custom ones from 5 (Lollipop) to Marshmallow (six).
In general, the smart turned out to be quite popular, and firmware is constantly being filed on it. The only thing, of course, is that there is only one SIM card (this is a Chinese smart card, how can it be). At the time when I bought it, the hardware was still sane - MediaTek MT6582M, but now, of course, it is no longer possible to play even on average, in most cool games. Yes, and the resolution is no longer happy, not even HD, but only qHD (not to be confused with QHD, 2K), otherwise you will think that I am talking nonsense :). Well, in general, a decent smartphone.
