Yeah. Like said, recovery is not updating because of the mismatching files.

Yes I know sloppy ZTE maybe I'll ask them why the lack of professionalism

Maybe someone can mirror it? I have it on my computer but can't be arsed to host it...

It seems that ZTE has removed this as they've uploaded the full 5.1.1 firmware. Added Spain 5.1.1 firmware info to the OP, too.

I use MR20B Turkish 5.1.1 flux rom. NOT ROOTED! But I have TWRP. Can you say me how to return to stock recovery?

AND, sHOULD ı FLASH 5.0.2 TR03C RECOVERY OR 5.1.1 MR02B RECOVERY?

There is no 5.1.1 recovery so you can flash one of these. You need to put the zip in sdcard and install through twrp

[Guest harrylin]

i can't find a New Zealand version of the ROM. Can somebody please post a New Zealand ROM? i can't find it on the ZTE website.

my phone is unlocked when i bought it in New Zealand.

Should i just use the UK version of the ROM from here?? but I'm afraid the UK version of the phone is locked to Vodafone UK. 

So  I'm afraid  the UK rom is going to LOCK my NZ phone. please help

I'm on a UK build ROM with Vodafone MT. Trust me, it won't get locked. 

 

 However, if you wanna be sure, do a Man droid backup with TWRP first.

You can get it unlocked from ebay if necessary for a couple of quid. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281555478524?euid=8d0a7d87e8fc4ed3856a136d7379c546&cp=1 is confirmed to work and very quick & reliable from many on here.

New firmware update for Spain  (Mr05b)

[Guest KenT8HD]

I tried rooting with Kingroot and MobileGO and both failed.I tried with both pc and .apk from KingRoot and no succes and it screwed the android.I then flashed stock 5.1.1 from Spain from stock recovery and after a few shutdowns of my screen and try to unlock it,it just stays black.Is there anything wrong with the firmware?Should i flash another stock from another country?before trying to root,the phone worked perfectly fine with no bugs or lag whatsoever but now it just wont show anything on the display when i press the power button.Just the backlight turning on but nothing on the screen.

[Guest elscorchio]

Hi guys,

I have a smart ultra 6 (on vodafone Ireland) with the f1ux rom installed, but my phone now has developed a large dead area on the touchscreen and is pretty unusable. 

I want to revert back to stock to get it repaired under warranty but I'm not sure what to install, from the OTA and stock thread.

The link to the IE02c stock rom is dead and the newer MR02b rom doesn't have a recovery image available, could I use a recovery from another country just to get this working enough to get it back for the repair?

Any help would be appreciated 

 

[Guest rwalton159]

I have rooted and used flashify to put a debranded rom on my phone.

Due to an issue with Bluetooth stopping my ringtone sounding I would like to change my rom. I'm in the UK. What rom do I need to downgrade to 5.0.1 please.

[Guest KonstaT]

Added Portugal MR06b firmware to the OP. Also added a new stock recovery image that is actually 'ro.build.display.id=VDF-995NB02-DE01b test-keys'. 

ZTE has changed ro.product.device=msm8916_32 -> ro.product.device=P839V55 in this updated firmware (and recovery) which means you can't install old firmware packages with this new stock recovery.

ZTE support site is the place to look for these, it's been there a while. Added new Turkish ROM and recovery to the OP.

Hi! I managed to download the current pending OTA for italian vodafone smart ultra 6 (build version VDF-995NB01-IT_MR01c_2): here it is the url

http://dl1.ztems.com:80/zxmdmp/download.do?doWhat=getUp&filename=firmwarepackages/HK/ZTE/Vodafone%20Smart%20ultra%206/123750/update_IT_VDF_P839V55V1.0.0B20_to_V1.0.0B09.up

Don't know why but this update can't be applied :\

I need to flash a full stock ROM (VDF-995NB01-IT_MR01c_2) or a working OTA (actually my phone goes in boot loop and then stops with a black screen).

AFAIK there's no VDF-995NB01-IT_MR01c_2 or any other Italian full firmware packege available for download. OTA is also kind of useless without the previous firmware it patches.

You could try flashing any other full firmware package as long as you can boot to recovery.

Could anyone please reupload the UK stock ROM? Links are dead. THanks.

[Guest conorf50]

Hi,

I wanted to revert to stock (stock rom and recovery). So I downloaded the latest rom for Ireland and the Turkish recovery listed in the OP. But when I flashed the recovery onto the phone it identifies as 'VDF-995NB02-DE01B-test-keys' Is this the German version? It won't accept the Irish rom through adb sideload. I can't find the German rom anywhere on the ZTE site.

Any advice on what to do?

Thanks.

Or you could just go to ZTE support site and download it from there. It seems ZTE has updated their site and moved everything around. I'll update links in the OP when I have the time.

Use the Irish stock recovery that's in the OP. You can only use that newest recovery to flash *07b builds.

It's not letting me sideload that through ADB. It fails to verify the whole signature.

Then you have a corrupt file. You've unzipped the firmware package you downloaded from ZTE support site and you're trying to flash the update.zip you found inside, right? You could try flashing it from sdcard, too.

That's it exactly. I wasn't sure was it ZTE having corrupt files on their server.
