It stands out with its high-end features, including a vibrant 144Hz AMOLED display, a versatile 64MP quad-camera system, and the efficient MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G (MT6833) chipset. This guide provides the official China stock ROM, which is essential for unbricking the device, fixing software bugs, removing a Google FRP lock, or performing a complete factory restore.
Important: This firmware is specifically for the ZTE S30 Pro (China variant). As a modern MediaTek device, it has enhanced security and requires the SP Flash Tool for flashing. Flashing this on a different model will cause a hard brick. This process will erase all your data.

How to Flash the Stock Firmware
Flashing the stock ROM onto your ZTE S30 Pro requires a Windows PC and the SP Flash Tool. The process involves installing MediaTek VCOM drivers, loading the MT6833_Android_scatter.txt file from the firmware into the tool, and then connecting your powered-off phone while holding the Volume Down key to start the flash. Due to the modern Dimensity chipset, this process can be complex and may require a special Download Agent (DA) file.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting for ZTE S30 Pro
- Correct Driver Installation: The most common failure point is incorrect drivers. If the tool doesn’t see your phone, you must install the MediaTek VCOM drivers, which often requires you to disable ‘Driver Signature Enforcement’ in Windows first.
- Authentication & Download Agent (DA) Errors: Modern MediaTek chipsets like the Dimensity 700 have enhanced security (Secure Boot). If you encounter a security, authentication, or DA error in SP Flash Tool, it means the standard tool cannot communicate with the phone. You may need to find a specific, custom “Download Agent” (DA) file for the MT6833 chipset and load it in SP Flash Tool before loading the scatter file.
- Using the “Boot Key” or Test Point: To get the tool to recognize your phone, power it off, then press and hold the Volume Down button (or both Volume buttons) and connect the USB cable. If this fails due to security, you may need to force a connection via Test Point Mode, which requires opening the device.
- China ROM – No Google Services: This is an official ROM for the Chinese market. It does not include Google Play Services or the Google Play Store. To get Google services, you would need to attempt to sideload them (which can be unreliable) or wait for a compatible custom ROM to be developed.
FAQs
Q1. What is a “scatter file”?
The scatter file (e.g., MT6833_Android_scatter.txt) is a crucial map for MediaTek firmware. It tells SP Flash Tool the name, size, and location of every partition on the device’s storage, ensuring each part of the software is flashed to the correct place.
Q2. Why am I getting a security or authentication error in SP Flash Tool?
Modern MediaTek Dimensity chipsets have Secure Boot protection. This often requires a special “Download Agent” (DA) file to be loaded into SP Flash Tool to bypass the security before flashing can begin. These files are device or chipset-specific and are often found on developer forums.
Q3. Will this process erase my data?
Yes. Flashing the stock ROM with SP Flash Tool will perform a full factory reset and completely wipe all personal data, apps, and settings from your device.
Q4. Does this China ROM have multiple languages?
A China ROM will typically only include Chinese and English as system languages. It will not have the full suite of languages found in a Global ROM.
