Root re: download error message

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

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?

ROM has SuperSu zip within
 
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?

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.

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).
right click my doc.JPG
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?
 
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
