Help Help with forcing ota update!

FYI, The N861 on-line updating tool does not update to B11. It only updates to B09(4.0.4) but what ever is causing your phone not to perform the ota B11 update should get fixed with the tool.
 
I remember something about clearing caches forcing it... Or you can root/CWM & install a b11 jellybean 4.1.2 ROM
 
Got the n861 yesterday, tried to update the software within the software update app and it said the software is current (ICS 4.0.4) downloaded the online tool and it also said the same thing, ICS... 0B06... "no upgrade packages available" Its a public mobile pay-as-you-go here in Canada.... any help would be appreciated. Btw, did a factory reset, tried it with both USB debugging on and off, AND.. called zte helpline and they said they've never had that problem before where the software won't upgrade, and than they gave me an email address, waiting on that reply now too.

Any help at all would be very much welcome.
 
4.0.4 is current for Public Mobile N861. smartmanvartan was working on porting Boost N861 JB (4.1.2) to Public Mobile N861 but there are some issues...not sure the status.
 
Thanks for the replies, turns out that 4.0.4 is the current software however I still have B06 and it won't let me update it to B09. I told them this and they said they'll get back to me.... still waiting.

Also I checked out that link, and being that this is my first ever android device and I have never done any rooting or flashing, I'm a bit worried I might brick it. Especially, since after being on this site for 3 straight days, I am more than confused as to how to root it and what the best ROM would be considering I'm reading things like, the camera won't work or bluetooth, etc. Really have no clue what to do here, and why is the gps so miserable?? lol i'm hoping an update fixes it. Anyways any advice would help.
 
sorry, I meant confused as to how to root being there are so many different methods, and a lot of the posts are some months old not sure what is the latest and most efficient method.
 
Anyone still want the ota? I have an untouched ota.zip for b11. Had to restore my phone yesterday with the tool and it downgraded me to 4.0.4 then i used my official ota zip and upgraded inside stock recovery. Rooted with framaroot.apk and download rom manager to install cwm.

Yes please! My fiances phone had jb till it had to get sent back to zte for replacement, now shes on ics and never gets the ota update to jb
 
I think I need that. In Baby language. I am rooted but do not have rom and was downgraded. So trying. I feel like N861 and the sound of Charlie Brown's teacher are synonymous.
