Looking for stock ROM, custom ROM, and custom recovery for ZTE Z830. Can't find them anywhere! Please help.

Check XDA forums. I'm sure someone has tried it somewhere. I've never even heard of this phone.

I think these ZTE devices are the 2nd/3rd gen Obama phones.. very locked down and no Development possible

A ZTE Compel, an indifferent budget Android 4.x phone from 2014 I believe. Don't think there was much interest in that device from developers, so no ROMs.

Thank u! I'm thinking of trying Flashfire app to extract ROM from working ZTE and then trying to flash it in bricked ZTE...

I'm not sure that's a viable solution, as different devices need their own ROMs and recoveries. To do otherwise would (USUALLY) be a 99.999% chance of bricking

The bricked ZTE and the working ZTE are the same model-Z830. Think there should still be a problem?

Tried Flashfire app to extract ROM from the working ZTE Z830 but it didn't work because it wasn't compatible with KingRoot. Flashfire recognized the device as rooted, but it said that it's only compatible with SuperSu and Magisk (don't know if I spelled that right). Also tried a romdump but couldn't get going.
