tested and said to be working

you will need to be rooted

download the file and name it recovery.img and put it on the root of the sd, no folders just right on the card, so its in this location /sdcard/recovery.img

and use either adb or terminal emulator
if using adb youll need to do the
Code: 
adb shell
command first, if terminal emulator you can just do the following commands without that part

Code: 
su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

reboot recovery
new mirror, on a phone youll probably need to open it in chrome, stock browser opens it as text for whatever reason

thanks to shabby, stevestone, everyone who got the necessary files, and everyone who bugged the hell out of zte to get the source

also, in theory it should work for the supreme but i make no promises... someone should test that out and make sure

and always remember. if it breaks your phone, a "sorry, that sucks" is all the compensation youre getting lol. use at your own risk
 
Hello,

I flashed it.. ... Blank screen with charging led on.... I show in qhsusb_dload mode when attached on pc. Though driver not found..
 
hmm... k ill work on it. might be the prebuilt kernel honestly and i dont have the source for that particular model. its more recent source than the elden and older than the nex so i cant make any guarantees at rhis point. ill try to get another build out today but if that doesnt work i dunno
 
sadly... no. ive been busy so i havent run a build. but yiu guys can help things along by bugging the hell out of zte and getting the proper kernel source for the device
 
that works, youll have to hit up the support people at the source release site. i think it was support.zte.cn or something like that

sorry... support.zte.com.cn
 
they seem to have upgraded quite a bit. its now using jellybean and a 3.4 kernel

and for some reason 3.4 zte kernels dont seem to play very nice. of course no zte kernel is a gem lol
 
WOW. It does booted.. how did you do that. DAMMM I tried it many times. but all wasted. Thats what experience teaches... Thanks a lot....... Let me test it out.....................

how did you do that, if you dont mind sharing???? I mean? I edited boardconfig and all?? but was a fail :(

ITs working fine. I did a nandroid backup now.. mine external got detected maybe bcoz of swap. Adb working with mounted sdcard..
 
theres something about the kernel source that makes it work. not really sure what it is but as you can see... it works
ill post it up on my github shortly that way you can use it as a base for cm or aosp or whatever
basically its just based on the kernel zte released and the same zte nex repo i got from cooldudezach originally that i ported to the warp 4g and the zte source
 
wow.. I m looking at boardconfig file.. I did right calculation bcoz of you.. you specified in aurora i guess partition block size x 1024.. before i was calculating with 512..

I missed this part, BOARD_MKBOOTIMG_ARGS := --ramdisk_offset 0x02000000

and that krait part. I tried to specified it but prebuild zimage and it throwed error..

I even added pixel part.. LOL damm ..

I missed all ums part..

let me try to compile it, just for learning purpose.. by adding one by one line.. do it need to compile it with kernel source or all the time? as it takes to much time for single compile from source????
 
ums part is irrelevant, mounting usb storage wont work im sure

as far as compiling it im pretty sure you need to use the kernel source, i could be wrong but something kicked it into gear obviously, you are free to try it without
