[ROM][STOCK] Stock Firmware Packages (For Expanded EDL Tools)

bobthenormal · Dec 10, 2020

Stock Firmware Packages

Yes, they are finally here! This thread is for stock firmware packages.

These packages are specifically made to be installed with this EDL tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ax...n-10-pro-5g-expanded-edl-tools-fixes-t4174667
READ THE WARNINGS IN THAT THREAD BEFORE USING THE TOOLS

These packages are UNOFFICIAL unless marked otherwise. ZTE has not released stock firmware packages for most phones and versions.

How to install an EDL firmware package:

Firmware Package Downloads:

Thanks:
@djkuz for the original EDL tool for Axon 7
@Unjustified Dev for his port of the tool and tons of other work
@rafyvitto for a ton of ROMs and his stock B12 backup
and @eKeith for requesting the firmware enough times I finally bothered to make it =P

Please keep issues with the firmware here, and issues with the EDL tools in that thread.

I will upload firmware versions for A2020U: 1.11, 1.13, 2.09 (A10) (locked and unlocked). I just need to get time to actually test these out to make sure they work.
I didn't test the 1.10 version either but it should work and some people are stuck on A10 without it so I'm trying to post it quickly.

If anyone can wants the tools or firmware packages like these for their phone version (EU, CN, whatever non-A2020U Non-5G) and can volunteer their phone/time, PM me - I can't do them myself as I don't have those phones, but I can give safe instructions on what to do so that I can change make a version of the tools for those phones.

I'd suggesta new thread. I haven't seen anyone with that phone or a firmware package for it. If you can find someone that has your phone with stock firmware who is willing to do a little work, I'll tell them what to do to make it.

Am sure 100% the problem is Firmware.
Do you know why because the holder tray for your ZTE Axon 10 Pro 5g in my phone is making for 1 sim like oneplus 7t in t-mobile if you unlocked and change the holder tray to hybrid dual sim it will work

Hello, I tried to use your tools to restore my phone since its on the European version and my sim card doesn't work (its US). The Write Firmware v1.10 to A tells me that COMPort is not found even though I already launched the load programmer script and see a COMPort file in the folder. Any ideas on what I can do? Thank you for your time!

Make sure you unpack the firmware into Firmware_Package_Restore directory like this -
Just for example - the script would be located in:
"...\Axon10_(More)_EDL_Tools_v1_1b\Firmware_Package_Restore\Write Firmware v1.10 to A.ps1"
And the firmware files would be in:
"...\Axon10_(More)_EDL_Tools_v1_1b\Firmware_Package_Restore\firmware_1_10\"

Thanks for the response! I will try it on Tuesday as I have finals. Will update to see what happens.

Okay I tried it again with the steps and now its giving me this.
https://pastebin.com/LwbK3vf7
It tells me that it can't find the files even though I have put the folder in that directory. Sorry for being ignorant I thought this wouldn't be too bad since I used to root Samsung devices.

Update:
I downloaded the new version of the edl tools and it still can't find the firmware files. Here is the log.
https://pastebin.com/LRuXEx0y

Another Update:
Sorry for the updates just wanted to see if I can fix it but I figured out why it didn't find the files.
For some reason, it would try to find the files inside the Firmware_Package_Restore instead of its own folder.

Now, I am getting another error that is says that my device is not on the port although I put it in edl mode. Perhaps I am doing something wrong? Here is another log with this error.

Hey! Thanks for attaching the log, that was perfect for finding the issue right away. The script is building the search_path incorrectly, here's corrected copies of the scripts. I'll update and re-upload the full firmware zip file as soon as I get a chance, but just replace the ones you have with these.

EDIT: Ah, yes hold on I'll take a look at the second issue. Sorry about that, didn't have a chance to test these.

So, the new problem appears to be something with the COM port communication. I have to get going in a minute but a few suggestions to try:
Reboot your phone into EDL then run the loader/firmware scripts right away. Sometimes the ports kind of time out.
Open Device Manager in windows and open the "Ports" list and make sure you see your phone on there. Edit the COMPort file to have the right one, or delete it to force the script to re-check if it's trying to connect to the wrong one.
Check the drivers - the tools have the stock A2020U drivers included, might need to reinstall them especially if you install drivers for other phones.

See if any of those help, let me know how it goes.

Thanks I will try this.

Edit:
I ended up deleting the com port file, ran Load Programmer, and the scripted worked. However, when it finished and I go back to boot my phone (I had to use the other edl tool and asked it to unlock the google FRP since I don't know another method to boot it back to normal) it boot back to the old rom it had. Its like it didn't write anything to the phone although the script did show me it was doing its job and end with a success. Any ideas? Here is my phone with the same firmware still installed after using the script.

Update:
I decided to use the write firmware to b instead and now it is American. Thank you for all the hard work I thought I had to carry two phones with me everywhere lol. Now I have another question. When I reboot my phone, a message pops up saying that the phone is unlocked and to either press the power button to pause or continue. I read in the threads that this means that fast boot is disabled. Is there anyway I can get fast boot back?

Nice! Super glad that it worked.

That A/B issue is why I considered just making the script automatically install it to both A and B. The only way I can tell which side is booting is to go into fastboot, which I find annoying. But if you install a ROM to A while you're booting from B, you won't see it obviously, so I generally just flash both sides at the same time since I always have full backups of both anyway.

As for that message, it sort-of means fastboot is disabled - it pops up when:
1. the bootloader is unlocked
AND
2. the stock bootloader is installed

So to get rid of the message you can either re-lock the phone OR install Unjustified Dev's patched bootloader. And since the stock bootloader does not have fastboot, the only way to have it is to install the unlocked bootloader.

You can do that either through the old tool ("unlock" the phone again), or through mine by running "write_UD-bootloader.ps1" in the Write_Unlocked_Bootloader_and_FRP folder.

Thanks for the great help. Now I have installed twrp and will most likely just put magisk and keep the stock rom as I am now terrified on installing a custom rom since it lead to me to a lot of trouble. Maybe I will touch lineage later on but for now I will just have twrp and root.

You're welcome!

I wouldn't be afraid of doing custom roms once you do a full backup of your working phone with my tools! If you have the 256gb phone you can add the userdata backup to that and really have everything including settings, apps, and data. Then if anything goes wrong you just do a full restore back to exactly where you were.

I haven't been trying custom ROMs because I just don't have the hours to spend trying them out and re-configuring each one to find out which I want to use, otherwise I definitely would. The stock ROM is really kinda poop (I'm on A10).

Also, if you try flashing a custom ROM and it doesn't boot after you install it - before assuming it didn't work and restoring, FIRST try the "Fix bootable" tool. Some ROMs get installed to a different partition than they were made from, so they have that flag for which partition they think they are installed on. When it doesn't match it won't boot. Good luck!

Thanks for the tip! I forgot to mention something strange about the reset from edl tool. When I was turning my phone back to American, I tried to use that and it gave me an error saying this
{ERROR: Command line argument 'reset=' is not recognized as a valid option}

On the shell window it shows different options and there is one that says reset but without = sign. I'm not sure if its some typo but wanted to let you know.
