The phone is already rooted. Is the "Recovery" an other app? Also am I going to have to re-root the phone after installing the new ROM?

Recovery I'm speaking of is one of three programs: CWM, TWRP, Philz and this device has all 3 but that lets you wipe, backup, restore, & flash new/modified softwares..

In recaping this the same basic process as like when I have to do a back up to my D: hd when the C drive on the laptop gets to full of crud and I have to wipe the partition and restore everything from my backup cd's. And this process will reset the phone to factory new default settings? My primary system is Windows. I started at Win 3.1 and now at Win7

I looked at the setup at http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7127354 . I am a bit worried about that way of doing it. Correct me if I am wrong. Using that method, if done out of sequence the phone can become hard bricked and totally and permanently useless? The last time the phone got locked up I got from Boost Mobile 2 ## 3 numbers and an other # then the phone asks for a MSL# number and everything is wiped out and reset new factory default settings. From having to work many a Windows system and just flat wipe out the partition and reinstall windows because it would be a lot of trouble and labor charged in order to untangle what the owner did to screw up the system reg file. I know enough to wounder if I should try it. I am still learning the Android system.

ROM has SuperSu zip within

Thought it did wasent sure thanks for making it clear

By the way my understanding of flashing the memory ROM is to wipe the ROM clean of everything and start over again with a clean slate. Is there a better step by step instructions available for this whole procedure?

 

[roadkill42]

Yes go into custom recovery wipe all cache ,and system ,factory reset boot back into recovery then flash ur ROM make sure ur ROM to flash is on ext sd

I said before: Is there a step by step instructions available? The instructions at http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7127354 are not clear enough for me.

When you say "make sure ur ROM to flash is on ext sd". Do you mean that the Rom flash prog is on the plugin sd card? And this whole jass won't mess with anything stored on the plugin sd card? I am just making sure that I have all my ducks lined up in the right order before I start.

Correct. Ext SD is your "plugin" External micro SD

I have spent all night looking for a place to download CWM/PhilZ Recovery and found a big fat nothing. Here is a screen capture of the recovery mode in my phone.

 

[bcrichster]

I use this one, only flaw it has is that it never "detects" Root and wants to reRoot it every boot (just hit NO when promted)

When you say it wants to reRoot everytime the phone is turn on in normal mode? Or in recivery mode?

The recovery prompts to reRoot when rebooting system.. No biggie/no problem

I hate to buzzkill but... TWRP is too sketchy on this device. Sometimes it'll flash or restore but others error out on perfectly fine zips

 

[reble]

The process at http://androidforums.com/index.php?posts/7040009 does it need a rooted phone to work? The cmd's I got from Boost Mobile literally wipes the phone (except the ext plugin sd card) clean and puts the phone to a brand new factory default state. The phone is now not rooted. I am trying to remember which process worked to get the phone rooted. I tried Framaroot already and that doesn't work.

Bcrichster. I went and looked up the instructions at http://androidforums.com/threads/re-re-rooting-a-zte-warp-4g-n9510.890137/#post-6837775 that you gave me some time back for rooting this ZTE phone.
It is not going as plained and as easy. 1st off after I booted up the Warp 4G Unbrick tool. That much worked fine. But when I left click on the folder "MY DOC" nothing happens and when I right click (look at the 1st picture).

There is no ZTE unbrick tool to open or partition folder.
I have found 2 ways to get to the Terminal window. 1st is by starting the ZTE unbrick tool from the desktop. The 2nd way is via the terminal icon at the lower right corner in the task bar then typing the cmd's in.
In the 1st way then brings up a list and I type in the code for the type of phone. I type the code in and get:

Device not detected
On the 2nd way via the terminal direct. Everything goes fine with the cmd input until I get to the "fastboot boot_mmcblk0p16_recovery.img. The following comes up on the phone screen: "downloading, do not turn off". The phone just hangs there doing nothing and the ZTE Unbrick/lenox desktop freezes. What am I doing wrong?

 

[bcrichster]

That unbrick tool IS Linux. Not Windows operable. You need to burn that tool onto a DVD (burn IMG) or flash drive as in a Live Boot .ISO reboot PC and boot into the .ISO... Hope that helps
