How to Flash the Stock Firmware

Flashing the stock ROM onto your ZTE Blade A2 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 A2 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.
• Safer Flashing (Uncheck Preloader): For a safer flashing process that is less likely to cause a hard brick, it is often recommended to uncheck the `preloader` partition in SP Flash Tool before clicking Download. Flashing an incorrect preloader is the most common cause of a permanently dead phone. Only flash the preloader if the device is already completely bricked.

FAQs

Q1. What is “Reverse Charging”?
Thanks to its massive 5000 mAh battery, the ZTE Blade A2 Plus supports reverse charging. This means you can use an OTG (On-The-Go) cable to connect another device (like a different phone or wireless earbuds) to your Blade A2 Plus and use it as a portable power bank to charge them.

Q2. What is the difference between the Blade A2 and the A2 Plus?
The Blade A2 Plus is the larger, more powerful model. It features a bigger 5.5-inch Full HD screen (vs. 5.0-inch HD), a much larger 5000 mAh battery (vs. 2500 mAh), and a more capable MT6750 processor.

Q3. 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.

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.
