Keep in mind that I don't know how to root it yet.
Likely there's already a solution but I haven't managed to find one because flashing the rom with the off-line flasher made easy to replace the official recovery with the custom one.

P.S. it's a windows program, likely it works only on XP32, hardly Seven 32, surely not Seven 64

Ok, update i've looked in to the installer, looks like the spreadstrum baseband is not included.
BTW according to the images size I'm able to understand what's the recovery image.
It's the file called G:\Program Files\ZTE\DL_U960_CMCC_CHN_EU\version\RF.ZTE so should be sufficient to replace it with the custom recovery image (recovery.img) to have the phone flashed and rootable.

Checked with adb root => adb is already running as root
to which location?
Volume + and power are not working for me
if i use adb reboot recovery phone screen gets black => G3 screen => battery charging screen (phone still connected via USB cable but no more available with win-Explorer)
I did this with HUAWEI U8860 and when i do the same with this phone screen turns pink on the phone (i have to press vol +and- and power on when charging with USB) and i see a connected drive in win-explorer containing one folder "image" holding files amss.mbn, boot.img, cust.img, EMMCBOOT.MBN and recovery.img
Can i flash the recovery.img using adb push <local file> /image/recovery.img?
Ok, got it!

there's a script file in the custom recovery folder, just connect the phone double click on it, after that your recovery should be flashed and you should be able to use it, as described above.

Works; had installed ETO-Version before
I don't know as apk is not able to flash it to my device...it switches off and then to battery charging screen if i leave it attached to USB or to OFF when not attached to USB
download the recovery from the link below, and then unzip them to a clean foloder and then click on reco.bat to start installation of your recovery.
u960 recovery.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
after this install only catthy 62 rom (U960+MOD+2B03+v1.5.0+ib_Catty)
and then your u960 work well.

If your chinese improve you can kindly translate the help file of the OneClick tool Deposit Files
I think that the key is to first install the usb driver which you find under the Win32Driver folder inside the Installation directory...
Currently I don't have a winxp box to try... Under win7 x86_64 it doesn't work...

If you have join me installed the driver step can be skipped.
Anyway I decided to edit this thread to make it easier to read, and more newbie friendly.
To have the phone updated you need:
A working XP32 machine and the drivers installed (either from join me sw or the ones included on the 02b08 one click updater package)
Then :
#1 Download, decompress and install the 02b08 one click updater (archive's PW is zte_u960)
[if you need them, the older 02b06 and 02b07 versions are still available for download]
#2 replace the file RF.ZTE with the one I've uploaded here
the file location is usually C:\Program Files\ZTE\DL_U960_CMCC_CHN_EU\version\) but the location could be slightly different depending on Windows' language and drive installation.
#2b If you want the adb support in recovery you can use the newer Catty's recovery, download it here (rename recovery.img as RF.ZTE then follow the step #2 instructions)
#3 Start the update process using the previously installed updater
#4 If the process went trough correctly (dial *983*154# to check your actual version) and the phone rebooted correctly, you can turn it off and reboot it in recovery mode (turn it ON keeping the power button and Volume UP depressed) and apply the update package I prepared to get the phone rooted and gapps installed in one step.
#5 you can (optionally) flash one of the modded/overclocked 2b08 kernels i pubblished here
#5b alternatively you can flash also one of Catty's mod kernels to get the 1.4Ghz overclock and init.d function (see the linked post), are based on the old 2b06 rom, but should work w/o any problem on 02b07 and 02b08.
Is better to wipe the phone after this step to avoid market problems.
#6 If, after the flashing process, the USB function of the phone doesn't work as expected (E.g., no USB storage available), you may need to use the set mode utility to switch it back to its original behavior. (select the option on the left and confirm with the button on the left)
#6b You can get the same effect dialing *983*87274# and then selecting the first option (thanks to nothingman76, who spotted this info)
[Edit 15/05/2012]
replaced the root + gapps market package that had some problems with the market with the V2 (root + gapps/playstore), if you have already downloaded it, please redownload and reaply the update.
[Edit 10/06/2012]
Here you can find the update package to 2b07.
(It's meant to be applied via recovery after the official 2B06 process described above).
Here you can also find the 2B07 Spreadstrum baseband (SIM 1 baseband).
(it's meant to be installed via research download sw, you can find it on post #65)
[Edit 24/06/2012]
Added packages and instructions to update directly to 02b07
Adedd Catty's recovery link
some instruction's refinements
[Edit 20/07/2012]
Added packages and instructions to update directly to 02b08
[Edit 23/07/2012]
Added link to 2b08 OCed kernels.

You can use the XPmode virtual machine, virtualbox, vmware, whatever, no need to have a true xp machine.

I do have the same behaviour that scooterfips describes in post #235. I am able to flash Cattys ROM 1.5.0 but not 1.5.1.
Now to better understand why this happens: How can I contribute to figure out??? If you tell me what you need from my end i will support this as far as i can.
scooterfips will be reading frequently here and in the german forum i will keep him informed about our success.

You could start to post a screenshot of the result of
*983*154# (mask the serial numbers)
to see if we can see any obvious differences.

The Solutor,
I have been able to update the baseband using a Win XP laptop. I have tried to flash 1.5.1 but still get the issue with the "white noise" screen (or mash of pixels screen) when booting. What's weird is that it looks like the phone still works (you heard sounds of booting, you can plug the USB and see connection to the computer), just the screen is fuked-up. Remember that I have been able to flash 1.5.1 by replacing the data/boot.img from Cathy's ROM 1.5.0.
See below the details of my phone:
Software version: ZTE U960 2B03 MOD Cathy V1.5.1/ZTE U960 2B03 MOD Cathy V1.5.1
U960SPV1.0.2B03/ZTE_U960_V1.0.2B03
Hardware Version: ts6c
Flash Type: Hynix/H8BCS0QE0MMR-4EM-C
Screen Type: 0x03

Edit your message, don't post your imei and SN.
BTW anything looks the same as my phone here
You can test this kernel that catty linked to me (I haven't tried it yet)

Looks the same too.
Have you tried the kernel I linked and/or the official update ??

Hi Catty,
in order to user your kernel do I need to first install the 2B06 using the zte upgrade tool and then apply your update from the recovery ?
I'm currently using your rom 1.5.1 with the overclock and I didn't manage to run the zte oneclick upgrade tool. (I attach the phone and when a press the start button the phone simply reboot...)
Thanx!
