When I do this it's the same I get with the cmd.exe and I only get < waiting for device >

It seems that I haven't got the correct drivers.

Where can I get the drivers when I don't have join me and the ZTE_U960_Handset_USB_Driver.exe doesn't install the correct drivers after rebooting?

I use Windows XP Professional SP3 from a friend today. At home I haven't Windows XP so I must hurry up as long as I still can use it...

No one of the 3 devices doesn't find any driver from the point I installed the drivers. I've no idea why. I've installed and reinstalled Join Me. Thank you very much bordapapa, the Solutor and bullifrank!

With the tutorial of bordapapa and the Join Me software the other devices were at least be found as unknown devices. Now I must find out how to install it.

I am successfully using it with my VW kulfatec BT car kit(I think this is parrot kit inside), I am able to browse my phone book(on the head unit) but call lists is showing empty all the time.

May be you have to reset the car kit as in my case the unit can only be paired with 3 phones then I have to factory reset to connect.

I will give it a try...

I did this and this time the Oneclickupdater tool detected my U960, but after I pressed start (i guess cuz its chinese all the letters are questionmarks) the bars didnt increase to 100 but stayed at 0...

I must be doing something wrong

Did you check for correct driver installation in device manager? For me the machine detected the phone as well but when i started OCU it got stuck as well and "XP-bell" was ringin "unplugged" and "pluged in"...

I did check and everything was alright!

Man now I really have a Problem, after it got stuck at the beginning of the update procedure at 0/100, after waiting like 10 minutes and no change, I just unplugged the U960 from the USB. It was black and only after taking out the battery and restarting the phone it worked again..

Everything seems to work alright but the USB Mass Storage doesnt work on any computer now, even though it worked with every machine flawlessly before :(

Now TheSolutors Tutorial says

#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)
Click to expand...
The set mode utility doesnt seem to detect my U960 either :( Does this only work under windows XP too?

I followed the instructions but USB Storage doesnt work anymore :(

Also Clockwork Recovery USB Mount doesnt work either.. damn :(
 
I want to downgrade from baseband 2B07 to 2B06 because of connection problems.
Could someone post a download link for the 2B06 pac -file because i don

I installed all drivers lots of times, reinstalled, installed, and so on, of cause deinstalled from device manager and with the uninstall routine too. But there seems to be only one folder to choose the correct driver in C:\Programme\ZTE Handset USB Driver\Drivers

Unfortunately when I chose for the unknown devices the driver from this folder, the Hardwareupdate-Assistant weren't successful. :(

What does "Sooner" mean? Does it mean that the device is sometimes named as "Sooner" and sometimes named as "ADB interface"?

I don't know why in my device manager is the name "Android" as unknown device and when I start the phone without keeping a key there is the "ZTE Handset Diagnostic Interface" which seems the only correct installed driver.

When I start One Click Updater and the phone without keeping any key, the One Click Updater promt a pop up and sees the phone as checked (look at the second screenshot)

"Android Sooner Single ADB interface" is the interface that shows up when the phone is in fastboot mode.

There is a new version of the official ZTE OneClick Upgrade Tool released ond June the 15th. According to what I've read on malshenzu.com it should be simple the 2B07 version with 2B07 baseband that we already have with the .pac file and the .zip update.

Here is the download link: http://www.zte.com.cn/cndata/mobile/software/201206/P020120615531533804754.zip

its damaged and corrupt link http://www.zte.com.cn/cndata/mobile/software/201206/P020120615531533804754.zip
 
I could download the One Click Updater 1.00.01 from this link after lots of tries. I downloaded with very low rate. I hoped there are new drivers in the package and I hoped I could try the drivers with my "bricked" ZTE U960 but unfortunately it didn't solve my problem.

This is the link to One Click Updater 1.00.01 on depositfiles

Hoping it will be useful for other users ...

It seams to me that they are talking abount debricking the phone...
 
Dear TheSoluter, catty and everyone else would you be so kind to post the .pac baseband.files for 2B06? I am well aware this only affects sim1

Could someone explain where the baseband files are located at? Are they somewhere in the rom??

I never found (nor searched) the b06 baseband as stand alone package

How can read this post to understand better how it works.
 
I did a little experiment yesterday in the hopes that maybe I can help the guys who bricked their phones.
I've installed a Windows XP box from scratch, "bricked" my phone, so it would go into a bootloop, and started to experiment with various fixes.
So, first of all, a clean install of Win XP is handy. Or a not so clean install, just make sure, that there are no ZTE drivers installed. Set up ADB.
Install Join Me, I linked the version that came with my U960 in an earlier post.
After it is installed, do a reboot, just to make sure everything is all right.
Remove the battery, wait a bit, then replace the battery.
Hold the "volume down" key, and then press the power button, and only release it when the phone vibrates. It should take 8-10 seconds. After this, just release the volume down key.
Now the phone should be in fastboot mode, or FTM mode, it's the same. :D
The screen is blank in this mode, but if we connect it to the computer, a single new device should pop up, the "Android Sooner Single ADB interface". The driver automatically installs, at least for me, if not, try to force the driver install, but usually it is unnecesary.
At this point, it is possible to flash a working recovery, and if we have a working recovery, then we are golden, we can do anything. Use catty's new recovery for example, extract the recovery.img from the zip, and put it to the platform-tools folder, then flash it using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" command.

It just takes a bit of patience to put the phone into fastboot mode, just experiment with it. ;)

Oh, and just for the record, when I received my U960, I successfully bricked it on the very first day. It had B03 installed, and that build has a problem with the recovery, so I could not enter the recovery mode, and had to fix the phone this way that I've described. But first I screwed around for a good 5-6 hours trying to fix it until I realized that the phone has a fastboot mode.^^
 
Hi all,

can someone tell me where can i find "Contacks.apk". I want to modifiy the strings "SIM1" & "SIM2" but i dont know where is this apk.

Thanks
 
It's where all the apks are.

In /system/app


framework-res.apk (also needed on your PC to edit the other apks) is an exception: you can found it in /system/framework
