How to Flash the Stock Firmware
Flashing the stock ROM onto your ZTE Blade V2020 requires a Windows PC and the SP Flash Tool. The process involves installing MediaTek VCOM drivers, loading the MT6771_Android_scatter.txt file from the firmware into the tool, and then connecting your powered-off phone to start the flash. Due to the modern chipset, this process may require a special Download Agent (DA) file.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting for ZTE Blade V2020
- 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 Helio P70 have enhanced security (Secure Boot). If you encounter a security, authentication, or DA error in SP Flash Tool, it means the standard tool is being blocked. You may need to find a specific, custom “Download Agent” (DA) file for this device and load it in SP Flash Tool before loading the scatter file.
- 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. If that fails, try holding both Volume Up and Volume Down together.
- 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.
FAQs
Q1. Is the Blade V2020 the same as the V2020 5G?
No. The Blade V2020 5G is a different, more powerful model that uses a MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset. This firmware is for the 4G-only model with the Helio P70 chipset, and their firmwares are not interchangeable.
Q2. What is a “scatter file”?
The scatter file (e.g., MT6771_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 unlock my phone from its network carrier?
No. Flashing the stock firmware restores the phone’s original software, but it does not remove the SIM/network lock put in place by a carrier.
Q4. 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.
