Root [Boost Mobile] FTM Mode?

too bad i cant get into either lol
and for some odd reason a lot of people didnt know that cwm acts as ftm..
 
Okay, for the sake of learning... does anyone know what FTM officially stands for? I've just always wondered.
 
not sure if below is correct or not..

P.S. Diagnostic (FTM) Mode and Download Mode are not the same. While in Download Mode, you can send the phone a bootloader and have it run on the ARM9 (baseband) processor. With a properly written/patched bootloader you have full access to the phone hardware, including the nand. Phone flasher sends its own bootloader (armprgZTE.bin) to the phone and then use it to flash the images... we could patch it to allow nand reading.

I thought FTM was factory test mode. And I did see you can get that nice little FTM in a white box on yore screen by booting up with volume down and power button, unlike recovery which is volume up and power button.
