The decrypter tool has been the same for a long time. The keys haven't changed. $12. And has worked till a couple of weeks ago.
Depends on what you are decrypting. If it's the files we have here in the Dev forum, it works.
If you try it on files elsewhere, it may not work. It probably will not work on A51x or 70x update files. Nobody has tried.
Definately won't work on Asus updates

Absolutely nothing wrong with the decrypter. You have to wait a few minutes depending on PC. Has to decrypt 400mb remember.

Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question.
I cannot run the tool. Here is what I do:
Using PC window 7 to download the zip file.
Unzip it.
Have an exe file but get an error message when run it. (Window can not find the path ...)​
Can you please explain how to use this decrypt tool ? or tell me what kind of error I did ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
sviet

Sounds like you're trying to run it from within the zip file itself? Helps to know the full error message.
Try unzipping it to your C:\ drive. Then run it again.
It's a small app, and basically you will get a button to select the file (zips only), then select Start. After a couple minutes, it will write the decrypted file in the same folder as the original (says decrypted at the end of the file name).

Thanks a lot for your quick help.
This is a fault of may anti virus that prevents to run the tool.
Just turn it off and I can run the tool.
Thank you,

Antivirus block download
Hi!
I'm trying to download the tool to decrypt the zip files but my antivirus (a business version of Trend Micro that i can't disable) block the download.
Is it possible to rename or change the extension to avoid this issue?
thank you

no solutions?

1.201 OTA update files

Hi,
would it be possible for someone to upload the OTA update (0.266 -> 1.201) and make it a recovery flashable zip? Or maybe tell how can I do it myself?
Because why download the whole firmware if you could just download that 10MB update.

I dont think OTA update can be modified to flashablde zip.
Correct me if wrong

Apparently, the update file is located in /cache . It's an encrypted .pkg file, so it may require more advanced skills to extract it.

But I think it's deleted after you apply an update.
If you wanna catch OTA files you need to find someone who's downloaded OTA update but not applied it yet

I have the .pak file, but as I said before, it's probably encrypted or in an unknown format, since programs like 7-zip can't open it.

Urgent help needed!

If anyone can give me the recovery.img and the boot.img of the a2017u b29 I would be so greatfull. Please I need help. My phone shows the boot screen but goes straight to a black screen. My computer detects it however.

Just download the official firmware from zteusa, extract the desired partitions and flash via fastboot or twrp shell (dd).

I would but it says the entity is too large to upload? and i cant mirror it to mega because mega states ive never had an account -.-

What? Too too large to upload what? You download it direct from zteusa's site. Extract the update.zip file, then extract whatever partition images you need from the update.zip.

Unroot & Re-pack firmware?

I had 50pc japan version of s5(sc-04f), installed rom 'G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN'. The downside of this rom is that its pre-rooted. I managed to unroot it by goin in supersu & click 'full-unroot'. But i had multiple devices to flash, so is there a way for me to re-pack this firmware again after i unroot it? So that i could flash it to my other devices without root.

Your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Should we search for this firmware or you can provide a link to its thread?

Generally, if it's 6.0.1 and rooted systemlessly, you need to replace boot.img with a stock one and remove SuperSU app from system.img.
This ROM intended to be flashed from TWRP, so it's an ext4 image.
You can mount it to a linux system on your PC and remove anything you want.

I havent done anything like this before. Could u give me some links or guides? My PC is running Windows 10.

Ok, here' a simpler way:
1. Make changes on one phone.
2. Make a TWRP backup of boot and system partitions.
3. Restore this backup on other phones. They must have TWRP installed, a 6.0.1 bootloader and modem.
You'll have to rename backup's folder path and to wipe cache/data/system before restore.

can i use winrar to extract & compile the rom, without linux? So that i will have a much faster flashing process for all other units..

Ok, I've managed to download that ROM at last.
The things look even simpler.
To prepare an "unrooted" ROM:
1. Download the zip form this post and unpack updater-script somewhere.
2. Make a copy of V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip, open it with Windows Explorer and replace V3.G900F.STOCK.FOR.SCL23.FULL.MINHQUAN.zip\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with the file you've unpacked from the attachment.
3. Try to flash ans see if it's what you need.

thx so much, already passed all units to the buyer. ill try that on next batch restock, may iknow if there's a way to get the service menu shortcode *#0*# to work again? This rom doesn't has the service menu.
