Hi I found the update thanks for the info. I can't seem to be able to update the phone. I moved the zip to the sdcard like the instructions said but when I try and update from the update from storage card it says it can't find the file. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

 

[wtr122575]

Change the name of the zip to update when done it should read update.zip then reboot and it will recognize it

I assume that you will lose root if you had it when you apply this update?

 

[TomS13VH]

Yes you will loose root. Also you have to ADB sideload from recovery. Not sure why the ZTE way doesnt work.

Sorry Tom lost internet connection and asked me to finish his post.
I also tried the ZTE way with no success. So I had to use the Adb side load way through stock recovery (3e). I'm told side load though twrp also works.
Make sure you type for name exactly as is in path. Also make sure the computer sees that you're device is in side load. You do not need to rename the file.
If you need help or want a walk through either post here or pm Tom.

I'm going to have to wait until someone roots this. Something to look forward to, though.

Done. I'm uploading a pre-rooted, TWRP-flashable 5.1 update right now as we speak. I'll have it posted in the very near future.

Do you not have twrp recovery installed? If twrp is still installed on your phone just hold power to bring up the menu and select reboot then right after you press reboot hold the volume up button until you enter recovery.
