The ZTE Blade A610 Plus is the larger, more powerful sibling in the Blade A610 series, designed for users who need a big screen and exceptional battery life. Its standout feature is a massive 5000 mAh battery, providing outstanding endurance. The device is powered by the octa-core MediaTek MT6750 processor and features a crisp 5.5-inch Full HD display and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. This guide provides the official stock ROM, which is essential for unbricking the device, fixing software bugs, or removing a Google FRP lock.
Important: This firmware is specifically for the ZTE Blade A610 Plus. As a MediaTek device, it requires the SP Flash Tool for flashing. Flashing this on a different model (like the standard A610) will cause a hard brick. This process will erase all data on your device.

How to Flash the Stock Firmware
Flashing the stock ROM onto your ZTE Blade A610 Plus requires a Windows PC and the SP Flash Tool. The process involves installing the MediaTek VCOM drivers, loading the MT6750_Android_scatter.txt file from the firmware into the tool, and then connecting your powered-off phone to start the flash. This will completely restore your device to its original factory software.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting for ZTE Blade A610 Plus
- 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.
- Using the “Boot Key”: To initiate the flash, power the phone off completely. Press and hold the Volume Down button, and while holding it, connect the phone to your PC. The tool should then detect it and begin the process. If Volume Down doesn’t work, try holding Volume Up.
- Fixing Google FRP Lock: If you’re locked out of your phone by Google’s Factory Reset Protection (FRP), flashing this stock ROM will perform a complete wipe and remove the locked account.
- CRITICAL – `A610` vs. `A610 Plus` Confusion: This firmware is only for the ‘Plus’ model. The standard ZTE Blade A610 (`T620`) uses a different, less powerful chipset (MT6735) and has a smaller HD screen. Their firmwares are not interchangeable, and flashing the wrong one will cause a hard brick.
FAQs
Q1. Is the ZTE Blade A610 Plus the same as the Blade V7 Max?
Yes, in some regions, the device sold as the Blade A610 Plus was marketed as the Blade V7 Max. They are the same hardware and use the same firmware.
Q2. What is a “scatter file”?
The scatter file (e.g., MT6750_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.
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.
