Important Notes
Be aware, that installing any stock ROM, is only possible with a stock recovery on board, or with restoring the stock recovery itself - in case it has been changed. If you return your device to a service point with custom ROM or recovery on, it would void your warranty.
Also note, that we take no responsibility at all for any data loss, or damage you may cause to your device. Any modifications shall be carried out on your own responsibility!
The modified software will not unlock your phone. And we don't know about any unofficial unlocking methods either. However if you do, don't hesitate to share. ;)

Useful tips for installing
  • Read through the current steps before actually start a method, and apply the steps precisely
  • Plug the phone directly to the computer, don't use any extension cables, adapters, hubs, etc ...
  • It's important that you use the rear USB plugs of the PC, instead of the front ones (doesn't matter in case of notebooks)
  • If you're not sure about the drivers, (re)install them. If the computer still doesn't detect the phone, then turn it off while it's connected to the computer, then press the (phone) power button shortly. The PC should find the phone after this, and install it (could be a solution especially for XP)
  • Try another USB cable, or if you have the chance, test it with another computer
  • Between unsuccessfull attempts, you can also consider rebooting the computer

Hello,
I'm looking for a custom ROM for the ZTE Grand X IN. I need to upgrade the version of Android to at least 4.3 or higher. My girlfrend want to pair this phone with smart watch, can somebody give me a link to a stable ROM? I have already rooted the phone, but I am not able to find a suitable stable ROM for this phone. All links I have found till now are somehow broken, thanks a lot.

    I want romanian stock recovery version: GXI_V1.0.0B01 Because my phone is that version how ever I bought this phone in Finland. But I'm assuming that is same stock recovery.

    I need because my phone is freezing/booting. I was going to return this phone back to where I bought it.

    Okay, since the Slovakian recovery is already done, and comes together with the Hungarian, Polish, and Macedonian ones to the OP tonight, the next will be the Romanian recovery, likely in the following few days.
