Necessary:

Drivers android_spreadtrum_driver.zip
Flasher program SPD_Upgrade_Tool_R4.0.0001.zip
Archive with firmware MTS_RUSSIA_MTC_SMART_Start_3_V1.0.2.ZIP

Installing drivers

Press the “Volume Down” and “Power on” buttons on the phone, connect the microUSB cable and insert the battery without releasing the buttons. A new device will appear in Device Manager:

Right-click on the Gadget Serial device, select “Update drivers” - “Search for drivers on this computer”, indicating the folder with the drivers downloaded first, depending on the bitness of Windows.

When installing drivers, a warning may appear, click “Install this driver anyway”

After driver installation is complete, possible warning that the driver was installed without a digital signature and it will not work correctly. We do not pay attention to this, because we have disabled signature verification and the driver will not be damaged.

If everything is done correctly, a new SCI Android USB2Serial device will appear in the Ports (COM and LPT) section.

IMPORTANT!!! If a yellow exclamation mark appears next to the icon, you have not disabled digital signature verification. And of course it won’t be possible to flash it. In this case, uninstall the driver, reboot the system, disable signature verification, and reinstall the driver.

Start of ZTE Blade L110 firmware

If everything worked out and the result is the same as in the picture above, disconnect the phone from the computer and open the flasher program.

Click on the big gear

select the ZTE Blade L110 firmware file in *.pac format.

There should be a firmware loading bar at the bottom of the program window.

When everything is ready, the right arrow button will become active, click on it.

Press the “Volume Down” and “Power” keys on the phone again, just as we did before, connect the microUSB and, without releasing the keys, insert the battery. The firmware process will begin automatically after the device is detected by the program.

IMPORTANT!!! After the firmware has started, on some devices the volume and power buttons can be released. But there are cases when you release the buttons - the firmware stops with a notification that the device is disabled and the firmware is interrupted. I recommend holding the buttons down throughout the entire firmware installation (no more than 10 minutes).

After the firmware is completed, the message will appear in the flasher "PASSED". Now you need to disconnect the phone from the computer and reconnect the battery. As a result, we get a phone without being tied to an operator and MTS applications.

Branded phones distributed by telecom operators are tailored for subscribers of selling companies, so they will not work with a SIM card from another operator. To use your phone without restrictions, change the firmware of your MTS Smart Start 3 smartphone.

An inexpensive smartphone with a plastic body, Internet support and built-in Wi-Fi, not distinguished by high performance. It is specially flashed for MTS, so subscribers of other operators cannot use it without first flashing it.

Screen diagonal 4 inches;
The internal memory is 4 GB, but is expandable with support for a microSD memory card;
Bluetooth, GPS, 3G.

With such characteristics, it may not make sense to bother and unlock the MTS Smart Start 3 phone, but for those who have their own motives for such an act, we have prepared fairly detailed instructions on how to do this.

Where to download firmware for MTS Smart Start 3 phone

While some smartphones are compatible with firmware from other gadgets, this does not apply to Smart Start - you will need an individual firmware file.

You can download both versions for free online if you search hard enough.

Do not install broken firmware under any circumstances - you will not encounter any problems in terms of technology, and besides, there is still a possibility that attackers will obtain your personal data. Do you need it?
