It is extreamly slow - will upload a mirror once I get it downloaded...

I'm downloading it between 1 and 4KB/s, Catty said that if one is registered can use the client and download at way higher speed.
As I understand, this FW is not for recovery installation and can be uploaded into device via MultiDownloader. Can anyone to repack it for usual CWM recovery installation or simply to translate from Chinese upgrade Manual and MultiDownloader interface. Can't understand what to do 
... Thanks.

Thanks to both emil and sergmarin.
I tried it.
It lacks the files you added later (I've used the ones taken from B03) and it lacks also the spreadstrum baseband, only the qualcomm one is present (I've used the one included with a similarly packaged B03.
The ROM is based on android 2.3.5, and the known exploits aren't helpful, not a biggie, given we have a working recovery.
But, my phone ended with a not working SIM1. I guessed was because the baseband was not on par with the ROM, but it's not the case.
I restored both the SP baseband and the previous ROM and the SIM1 is still not working.
I guess something on the baseband or on the ROM itself simlocked the SIM1, and now I have to see what I can do to go back
I'll keep you informed

As promised I inform you about what's going on.
Was not a simlock problem simply the IMEI number was lost.
To restore it the simpler way is trough the dialpad with the code
*983*4634 #
unfortunately that code doesn't work on recent ROMs so a b10 or a b08 must be flashed to fix the problem.
Then you can flash back whatever ROM/backup you want

For the record looks like the USSD codes on SIM1 are fixed on 2B06 (I tested them only on vodafone italy SIM)
The behavior of SMS received w/o a sender's number are still unfixed although the behavior changed a little on SIM1, maybe something else will change when we will have the 2b06 Spreadstrum baseband.

Did you find other improvements with the 2B06 ? For example does the new FW improve the sound when using headphone ? With B03 baseband the volume is very low...
On the official ZTE website now they have an "one-click-upgrade" tool for our phone. ZTE-T U960 - ???? (Direct link for the download http://www.zte.com.cn/cndata/mobile/software/201205/P020120514350519797842.zip)
Do you think it can be used also on phone running catty's rom 1.5.1 and the overclocked kernel ?
Hi there!
I'm reading here since weeks as I'm troubling with my U960 from etotalk a while now. Still SIM1 will not work with my o2 sim card (contract card, all other sim cards are working). I even ordered a new sim card that is also not working in sim1.
I installed almost all roms from here and also different chinese once. I tried all tricks but nothing helped. So now I hope to get 2B06 running in order to check if this could help.
Actually I downloaded the mentioned files with new rom and baseband from 4shared but are too stupid to understand how to flash it.
As I see some were already successfull in it. So could you be so kind and send a short instruction for how to flash it?
Of course an update-zip for CWM would be more helpful but as long as nobody took the time to make a new ROM I would follow the instruction in order to get a running system.
I don't have problems with beta testing so -->

Hey guys!
I don't know why but recovery is not working for me.
I have touble to get into recovery mode. When i hold power and Volume+ button during start it shows (Original?) G3-logo and then nothing happens. Even if i continue to hold both buttons it starts(vibrate)-shows logo-black screen?-starts(vibrate)-shows logo...and so on.
I now tried to flash solutors B13 rom (renamed to update.zip) via settings/about/System updates but no luck again. It starts, reboots the phone into recovery mode (why is this working from here and not if i try to do it manually?), then i do get a screen with statements:

Are you 100% sure you have an U960?
You may install a new recovery system using recovery.img.apk.
From where did you get your phone?

Recovery.img.apk - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
Should be a working recovery.img.apk.
recovery.img - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
Should be the matching recovery image.

Looks like it's stable, no freezes or spontaneous reboots so far, this is a novelty for a stock rom
I use a BT car stereo, so I can't tell
I'm downloading it right now, haven't looked in to it yet

You must
A) root the phone
B) check for working adb shell (there are a lot of tutorials about this)
C) flash the recovery.img (included in my rom from post #8)
D) get in to recovery with one of the known methods: volume+ and power (remove the battery if doesen't work), quickboot from the market, the command adb reboot recovery form PC's command prompt.
My rom is inside the 7zip package, you have to unpack it, you can't rename the whole 7zip to zip, and you cant use the stock updater because the signature is not from ZTE, this is the main point to have a custom recovery.
BTW, my rom is superseded from Catty's releases.
hello!
once again i tried the faster kernel from catty... but still after the things mentioned above i receive the error 492 in playstore!?
any more suggestionsn anyone?

delete all the related dbs from the application menu (or titanium backup), including google transport/download, drm storage services.
Clear cache and dalvik cache from recovery menu and see what happens.
In the worst case backup your system with titanium, wipe the phone and restore your applications, not the whole system.
I already tried this but sadly without getting SIM1 running
That's why I'm heavily waiting for 2B06. I already downloaded 177852B0603ZTE-T_U960V1.0.0B06 but don't know how to flash as this is not an update package but looks like a dump of partitions.
Actually the download from the ZTE website is veeery slow with many connection errors. So I hope somebody will upload it somewhere else.
I just felt encouraged and tried again the baseband update. Update went through as described but without changing the behavior of SIM1. I guess there are several other bugs inside that baseband version(2B03) that results the mentioned problem.
So if anybody could provide 2B06: I would LOVE to try it in order to get rid of my problems
