No it will not work.

The REASON it doesn't work it because we don't have the ZTE keys to sign the zip. The stock recovery will recognize it, but will just abort when the signature can't be verified. That is why custom recovery (or some mission impossible sh** at ZTE, lol) is needed to be able to flash anything on this phone.

without a custom recovery we cant do that right now.. which is why we're working on one... so far the only way is using adb fastboot. Ima try rebuilding the recovery, i think i got the architecture wrong when building it, did the same thing sebastian did, built it for armeabi instead of armeabi-v7a

ok, I rebuilt the recovery using the right specs, lets try this again...=3


same disclaimer and all..

Just in case something goes wrong, u can flash the stock recovery:

I'll test it out when I get home to my PC. About 3.5 hrs.

Just so everyone knows even if it fails miserably it wont brick your phone. Just reflash stock recovery and your GTG. The hardest part to all this is getting the drivers to work. After that its super easy.

Yea, your right, especially when I dont have a warp to pull all the drivers out of... Using the kernel from the b08 update that u posted on forums to do all this, so hopefully it all works

you need to download the drivers from the OP, the original post, I'll repost them here if need be:


Support files:

http://android.podtwo.com/beta/support.zip

Generic USB drivers (From latest SDK)

Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

hopefully those work for you, there are suggestions further up in the thread also such as this one from woodstock:

Yeah that was where I had the problem too. Its gonna sound stupid but i just moved my usb from the front usb to a back usb on the PC and it let me intall the drivers in the first link.:eek:

I have wondered for a while if these instructions by Woodstock for the prl work would solve the adb driver issues : open dialer and enter *983*87274# and choose "AT"

I wonder if some phones come shipped in an odd mode, I couldn't get connected until after I updated to b08
