You can use ADB to pull it off your phone, Or you can use root explorer to copy it to your sd card (root not required)

I'll use adb first. Give me specific instructions and I'll take care of it right away.

cant find it with root explorer?

I don't have root explorer, however, I'll download it right now if it'll simplify the process.

For ADB I'm not a pro at that, so I'm not exact on the code your supposed to type. But for root explorer just search: "Recovery" or ".img"

Found 2 results:
/etc/firmware/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img
and
/system/bin/recovery
Which one would you like?
/etc/firmware/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img
and
/system/bin/recovery
Which one would you like?

Sorry for the delay; turns out I had to use adb, regardless. I have the files located at Index of /zte for download. Good luck and please, keep us posted.

Yeah, I noticed that the only *.img file on the device is: /etc/firmware/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img which you can download here: http://w8mim.com/zte/ZTE_U880F_SUCCESS_PR1183396-s2202_32333042.img
If anyone knows how to create a stock recovery image (without root privileges) I would be more than happy to provide you with the proper image.

Do you know how to pull it?
kcurtis106
Member
Not a clue. I tried "adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16" and it wouldn't work.
C:\0>adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16
remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' not a file or directory
I know it's a device, however, how can I create an image file from this?

1|shell@android:/ $ cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 > /sdcard/recovery.img
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16: Permission denied
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16: Permission denied

C:\0>adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /zte/recovery.img
remote object '/dev/block/mmcblk0p16' not a file or directory
It appears that we're back to square one again. Without root permissions, I am unable to pull the recovery image and ironically, I cannot root this device without flashing a custom recovery; that's my dilemma.
Seems like the only ideal way to root this device is applying an update zip file in a custom recovery, however, I cannot install a custom recovery because I don't have root permissions.
