It turned out that the real firmware for the phone ZTE Blade AF3 there wasn't. It was available exclusively in the form of updates from an SD card, which does not allow, in a critical case, to return the phone to working condition from a brick state. Constant searches in this direction allowed us to initially make some blocks for firmware in PAC format. Blocks - boot.img, wnvitem.bin, wmodem.bin, wdsp.bin, wcnnvitem.bin, wcnmodem.bin, u-boot-spl-16k.bin, u-boot.bin borrowed from updates from the SD card. Blocks - recovery.img And system.img made from a backup made through Terminal. Files fdl1.bin, fdl1.bin And SC7731_2341A borrowed from the firmware of a phone with similar characteristics.

And I selected those that were established, taking into account my interests ( Terminal, HeadsUP, Lollipop_Lockscreen).
