[ROM] ZTE Grand X View 2 (K81) Root and Stock firmware

[almonds!]

Ya'll have done some fantastic work moving this along. I've had a a Grand X 4 from rogers which honestly got saddle-bagged with (in an exhausted conversation with Biz retention, i thought i was getting a bill discount and a free tablet to stick around. I got an extra line I had no use for, and a financed..not so much use of a tablet as I would much otherwise care for).

Finally got around to getting rid of the phone line for no-one, by still have the Grand X kicking around. And I am more than willing to poke inside. I'll try to catch up and join up.

When I run the k81tool to write the patched img to boot, I just get "Failed: Unknown Error'. When I run QFIL to run the firehose with the firmware that was linked, it gets stuck at 5.5%. I removed userdata.img and ddr.img from the XML to get around these errors, but to no avail.
Do you have any recommendations on what to do next? Any hint would be deeply appreciated.

If I can help, I remember that you get the 'failed' message even though it actually worked.
I mentioned in post #60 about using MiFlash intead of QFIL. I tried many times with the latter and with different versions but no success.

Here is a step by step guide on how to flash the stock rom with QFIL and by extension any image.

1. Download and install the Qualcomm drivers from here
2. Download the firmware from above
3. Extract the firmware to a folder that you can easily access them from like your desktop
4. Download and install QPST from here
5. Open the QFIL application (Find it in your start menu)
6. In the "Select Build Type" field select Flat Build
7. In the "Select Programmer" field navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the prog_emmc_firehose_8909.mbn file
8. Select the "Load XML" button and navigate to the folder you extracted the firmware and support files to and select the rawprogram0.xml and then the patch0.xml when prompted.
9. Plug in your tablet
10. Run the following adb command "adb reboot edl" (Now the screen should be blank but the led light should be red)
11. If the text at the top of the QFIL application says "No Port Available" click the "Select Port..." option and pick your device. If your device isn't showing up there you didn't install the drivers properly.
12. Click the Download Button to begin flashing your device

So the above explains how to flash everything if you want to flash just boot or recovery use the tool in the 2nd post it is a lot easier
