How to Flash Firmware with the SPD Upgrade Tool
FAQs
Q1. Is this the same as the regular ZTE Blade V2020?
No. This firmware is for the Blade V2020 Smart (8010), which uses a UNISOC chipset. The other, higher-spec Blade V2020 model uses a MediaTek Helio P60 chipset. The firmwares are not interchangeable and flashing the wrong one will brick your device.
Q2. Will this firmware work on a phone from outside of Russia?
It is not recommended. This firmware is specifically configured for Russian cellular networks. Using it in a different country could lead to network connectivity issues such as “No Service.”
Q3. The phone’s language is in Russian after flashing. How do I change it?
During the initial setup wizard, you can select your preferred language (look for `Язык`). If you miss this step, you can change it later by going to `Настройки` (Settings) > `Система` (System) > `Язык и ввод` (Language & input) > `Языки` (Languages) and adding your language.
Q4. The SPD Upgrade Tool is stuck on “Checking Baudrate.” What should I do?
This is a common connection error, usually caused by improperly installed drivers, a faulty USB cable, or not holding the correct boot key (Volume Down) when connecting the device.
Troubleshooting (ZTE Blade V2020 Smart)
- PC Not Detecting Phone: This is almost always a driver issue. Ensure the SPD drivers are correctly installed. You may need to disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows. Also, try a different USB port and cable.
- Device Stuck on Boot Logo: The first boot after flashing can take up to 15 minutes. If it is still stuck, you will need to boot into recovery mode (usually by holding Volume Up + Power from off) and perform a “Wipe data/factory reset”.
- Flashing Fails Midway: This can be caused by a loose USB connection or a corrupted download. Ensure the cable is secure. If it fails again, re-download the firmware file.
- “Invalid SIM” Error: If the device was locked to a specific Russian carrier, this firmware will not remove that lock.
