Hey Fluid, how did you reinstall the drivers? I am a newb to this and go to the point where I was going to push the SU to the phone and didn't have the SU in the right place on my computer. I then had to go and move the SU and when I tried to do that step I got an error code. I then tried to start over and now ADB shows no devices, so obviously I lost something that it needs to see the phone.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Well, when I say I forced the drivers to reinstall that may not have been the correct wording. I uninstalled the drivers from my machine in Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features in Windows 7). They are listed as ZTE Handset USB Driver.
After that reconnect the phone and it should work fine. I also had to install the Android SDK instead of using the ADB.zip file above. Even still, the ADB.zip version does not see my phone, but the Google Android SDK version does.
Here is output from both:
ADB.zip Version said:

Android-SDK version said:

I just posted that to prove that it doesn't work quite right with my phone/computer for whatever reason. I don't really care to be honest, I just think its odd. Maybe Anthony can fill us in on that. Wow that is weird, my name is Anthony too. I feel like I am talking to myself. lol.
And also in doing what I have done so far, I have rendered the phone mute. Not a sound will it make so I killed a driver of some kind I suppose.
I have run into this before with my phone, and read a lot of posts from people elsewhere saying the same thing (on rooted and non-rooted phones of different makes). I have even seen issues like this arise on non-android phones believe it or not. Best solution I have ever found for this is to just remove the battery, wait a minute, and pop it back in and reboot.
When I rooted this ZTE handset, it also went mute (including telephone calls which sucked the first time I got one).
Also ensure that the phone is not in "silent mode" (it probably is not, but check anyway).
When you do get to a point that you are going to try again, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS THREAD AND ANY OTHER THREAD LIKE IT TO A TEE. Doing this stuff voids your phones warranty FLAT-OUT, and you definitely don't want to monkey around with a new phone that has no warranty.
Needless to say, I am rooted, and running Anthony's one.one. I like the Go Launcher, but I am not sure I like it more than adw.launcher...guess I am a minimalist. Gonna give it some time, maybe purchase the Go Launcher EX and see if that helps me get into it more.
FREAKING THANK YOU ANTHONY. You have made this phone a LOT better, not that it was bad to begin with... it just got a lot better because of your work. I cannot wait for one.two
