Hello all!
I'm having difficulty on how force OTU to upgrade my Alcatel POP C7 7041X because it says I already have the most recent firmware and it automatically closes the OTU (mobile upgrade S)
There is a way but it consists on modifying the "pro_info" by using a scatter file for the phone and SPFlashTool
BUT I am a complete noob in what concerns SPFlashTool so I need help!
My intention here is to create a step-by-step tutorial on how to restore the pop C7 back to factory stock SO, I need all of your help!!
Info:
I've got a 7041X-2BVDPT1 Portugal
It is rooted with Root Genius and has Carliv Touch Recovery installed with Mobile Uncle Tools.
I've made a full Nandroid backup with Carliv Touch Recovery. (backup also copied to PC)
I've made a backup of my IMEI with Mobile Uncle Tools. (backup also copied to PC)
I was given some files to download from a moderator in the GSMhosting Forum but I don't know if he would like me to mention his username nor if it is allowed to do this.....
Anyways, I need help with the steps on how to make this work with SP Flashtool...
List of files I have:
-SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1344.0.212.zip
-I also have SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1408.00.rar
-pro_info_7041X-2BVDPT1.rar
-pro_info_7041X-2ARGCH1.rar
-OTU (Mobile Upgrade S 4.2.3) for the last step of downloading factory stock ROM
Procedure:
-Extract SPFlashTool;
-Extract pro_info_7041X-2BVDPT1.rar to one folder (should contain both files in that folder: Scatter and pro_info);
-Open SPFT_tool (Run as Administrator);
-Load Scatter;
What should be the next steps to properly replace the pro_info???
Thanks in advance!

You are doing this at your own will.
You are responsible for any damages you cause to your device.
Always make backups before you do anything of this nature!
Steps to flash pro_info:
Download the latest version of SP Flash Tool.
Download the compressed pro_info file for your device.
Download and install a hex editor. (Optional)
Extract pro_info file from its compressed container into an empty folder.
Edit the pro_info file with the hex editor so the PID matches your phone's. (Optional)
Find a scatter file for your phone. (It's better if you use a scatter file you generated yourself.)
Open the scatter file with a text editor. (I'm using Notepad++)
Make sure that the pro_info section says "partition_name: PRO_INFO" and "file_name: pro_info" and "is_download: true" without the quotation marks.
Something like this:
Code:
- partition_index: SYS3
partition_name: PRO_INFO
file_name: pro_info
is_download: true
type: NONE
linear_start_addr: 0x1100000
physical_start_addr: 0x100000
partition_size: 0x300000
region: EMMC_USER
storage: HW_STORAGE_EMMC
boundary_check: true
is_reserved: false
operation_type: PROTECTED
reserve: 0x00
Place the scatter file in the same folder as your pro_info file.
Now extract SP Flash Tool if you haven't done that already.
Open it and locate the scatter file. Make sure everything is unchecked except for pro_info.
Press "Download Only". Turn your device off, remove and insert the battery then connect your device.
Wait for it to finish... Et voilà! You have flashed pro_info.
Errors:
In case you get "ERROR: S_NOT_ENOUGH_STORAGE_SPACE (1011)" take a look at this.
In case you get "PMT changed for the ROM; it must be downloaded", your device must be formatted:
Make a back up of your preloader. (Just in case; personally I used MTK Droid Tool, which was a tedious process.)
Make a full back up of your ROM with SP Flash Tool.
To do this you must perform the following:
Open up SP Flash Tool and go to the "Memory" tab.
Deselect everything except for "RAM test" and press "Start".
You will see a line with "EMMC_PART_USER Size =" followed by a hexadecimal number.
For example, "0x00000000ec000000". This number is the maximum storage space of your device. Copy it.
Now go to the "Readback" tab and press "Add".
Double click the new entry and just save it as "ROM_0".
A new window will open wherein you have to fill hexadecimal numbers.
Leave "Start Address" at zero, select everything in "Length" and paste the number you copied then hit OK.
Disconnect your device, remove and reinsert the battery, press Read Back then reconnect your device.
When it has finished you'll have a file that's called "ROM_0" with no file extension.
It's not flashable yet, to make it flashable you need the partition scheme!
Use MTK Droid Tool to convert the "ROM_0" file to be flashable by SP Flash Tool.
Turn your phone on and open MTK Droid Tool.
Go to the second tab called "root, backup, recovery" and press "To process file ROM_ from FlashTool"
Locate and select your "ROM_0" file. Don't let your device disconnect or it will interrupt the process.
In case it asks for CWM recovery or something, just press "No" and press "Cancel" on the new window that opens.
When it has finished you will have the flashable files in the MTK Droid Tool backup folder.
Open the folder in which you saved the flashable files and move pro_info to a safe location.
Copy your edited pro_info file into that folder.
In SP Flash Tool, go to the format tab, select Auto Format Flash and Format whole flash except Bootloader.
Press Start, turn your device off, remove and reinsert battery then reconnect your device.
After formatting your device, go to the download tab and locate the scatter file within the folder with the flashable files.
Now, disconnect your device, turn it off and remove battery then reconnect your device.
Wait till the flashing has ended... et voilà...
Now you have finally flashed pro_info!

Hi devs. Hi users. Hi testers!
I made two zips that might help you in some random point of time in future.
:laugh:
Both zips are flashable via recovery. Note that I have only tested working on aosp and cm-based roms. No custom skinned-oem ROM tested. However, it would be good if you provide info on what roms they work (or not)
This zip will remove the password/pin/pattern from your lock screen and reset it to swipe-to-unlock mode.
Not tested with smart lock modes.
Link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxkDSj8MtdPQQTQ4a1VWQl8wME0/view?usp=drivesdk
This zip allows you to authenticate ADB from device, without booting the ROM first. Useful for devs who need ADB access even while booting the ROM for the first time.
Things you must have :
Code:
1) A pc which you have previously used to authenticate ADB access.
2) The zip from my link.
3) Some non-noob brain. Majorly this zip is for devs.
How to proceed :
Code:
1) First we need to obtain a file named "adbkeys.pub".
1a) For windows, go to the windows drive (usually c: drive) and browse to /users/(your-username-here)/.android/
1b) For most Linux distros : go to home directory, browse to /.android/
Generally .android will be hidden by default. In that case, just enable hidden files and folders from folder view options.
2) After you get the adbkeys.pub file, open it with a text editor. You will see a code there. Copy all of that code. Or use the shortcuts (ctrl+A) and then (ctrl+C).
3) Extract my zip. You will see a file in /data/misc of the extracted zip. Open that file with text editor. Erase any previous text in my file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+A) and then (del). Paste the previously copied code into that file. Or use the shortcut (ctrl+V).
4) Save the file, rezip the extracted folders (which are data and meta-inf).
5) Flash that final zip file from recovery.

HwOTA for Huawei P9 Lite1. On the phone, make a backup of all data (since during the upgrade all data will be erased). This is an obligatory condition.
2. Unlock your bootloader: (There´s no way around it (unfortnuately), but after the procedure your device will be locked again, so don´t worry!). The device will make a factory reset, so once again, BACKUP your files!!!!!!!!!!
3. Enable ‘USB debugging’ and ‘OEM Unlock’ option from setting>developer option>. To enable Developer Options, go to About phone and tap the Build Number 7 times.
4. You must download three zip-archives with a full "Full OTA" firmware on which you want to flash (If you look through in the FF (FirmwareFinder), you see there are 4 archives for China and 3 for other locations. You must to download for the version what model and location you will have after the firmware);
5. Add the downloaded files to the folder "HWOTA\Update" and run the .cmd file, it will rename them automatically according to the template:
- update_data_full_public.zip to update_data_public.zip
- update_full_....zip to update_all_hw.zip
- update.zip don't rename
6. After run the universal batch file update.bat in the "HWOTA" folder, which will provide an opportunity to choose the required work option (change firmware/rebranding (change location)). FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCREEN OF THE MONITOR - the entire process is accompanied by prompts.
At the end of the process, everything should work fine... Be prepared, the bootloader will be locked after changing the location or firmware as a FullOTA.
7. If suddenly it turned out "bootloop" - go into the stock Recovery and make wipe.
PS: To change the firmware using the SD card, you need to create a folder "HWOTA" on the SD card and copy three firmware archives with the changed names (see above). In the batch file select item 1 "SDCard HWOTA directory"

Credit goes to whoever made this tool. "loonycgb2" ??? Oh, and the dude who found the programmer file. "deadman96385"
This tool has been heavily modified for the ZTE Blade Z Max, it was originally posted as the axon 7 tool. Not all features have been included.
ZTE Blade Z Max EDL Tool
BAT-program for Flash / Backup / Restore / Unlock the phone in EDL mode
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM ...)
!!! Whatever you do, you do at your own risk !!!"
!!! If you are not sure of yourself do not use this program !!!
Special requirements (read first) !!!
1. The program must be unpacked
2. Before using the program, make sure that:
- It is desirable to copy the program to the root of the disc, for example: C:\ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\ or D:\C:\ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\
- You launched this program as administrator
- You have drivers installed, preferably original for ZTE Blade Z Max
3. Read carefully what the program displays on the screen (I specially wrote the tips, the information is very useful, many questions disappear)
Features of the program:
1. Automatically reboot the phone into EDL mode
2. Finds the connected phone and forces the COM-port speed to 115200
3. Can flash , backup, restore
4. Analyzes folders for missing required files
5. and others ...)))
Structure of program folders:
1. Folder flash - in this folder you need to copy the files you want to flash
Subfolders:
folder full - if you want to flash full firmware (official, adapted for EDL mode), then in this folder you need to put all the files from the firmware for EDL mode:
its name usually looks like this: A2017 _......._ FULL_EDL
folder boot - if you want to flash your kernel file, you need to put a file named: boot.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder recovery - if you want to flash your recovery file, you need to put a file named: recovery.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder modem - if you want to flash your modem file, you need to put a file named: NON-HLOS.bin in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
folder splash - if you want to flash your splash file, you need to put a file named: splash.img in this folder (the file name must be exactly that!)
2. Folder backup - the folder contains backup copies of the phone partitions created by the program
Subfolders:
folder all - this folder contains backups of all partitions, except userdata
folder full - this folder contains backup of all partitions included in the FULL EDL firmware
folder boot - this folder contains a backup of the boot partition
folder recovery - this folder contains a backup of the recovery partition
folder modem - this folder contains a backup of the modem partition
folder splash - this folder contains a backup of the splash partition
folder efs - this folder contains backup of the efs partition
3. Folder unlock - contains all the necessary files to unlock (do not touch it!)
4. Folder logs - contains all the logs of the program
5. Folder tools - contains all the necessary files for the program (do not touch it!)
For those who still do not understand how to flash (FAQ):
Question: I want to flash a patched or original boot, how to do this ???
Answer: Download the boot you need, rename it to boot.img and place it in the folder ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\flash\boot\. Run the program ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl.bat and select Flash -> Flash Boot
Question: I want to flash TWRP, how to do this ??? /COLOR]
Answer: Download official TWRP or TWRP by @NFound, rename it to recovery.img and place it in the folder ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\flash\recovery\. Run the program ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl.bat and select Flash -> Flash Recovery
Question: I want to flash the modem, how to do this ???
Answer: Download or take the NON-HLOS.bin file from firmware and put it in the folder ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\flash\modem\. Run the program ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl.bat and select Flash -> Flash Modem
Question: I want to flash the splash, how to do this ???
Answer: Download or take the splash.img file from firmware and put it in the folder ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl\flash\splash\. Run the program ZTE_BLADE_Z_MAX_edl.bat and select Flash -> Flash Splash

To OP. Great finding. I am working on the bootloader for a ZTE Warp 6 (N9518) so this and the Axon 7 Threads content will definitely help out I believe. Now as for those fellas who helped hats off to them... Especially Mr DeadMan as without his firehoses he gave me when we were working on a project id not have finished up a bunch of ZTE related stuff. Those programmers take time to get from the already hard to find or dump firmware.

Is it possible to make this for the zte blade spark z971
