Root [Boost Mobile] [Root][Recovery]Ultimate warp drive!

First ZTE for me as of yesterday and the first thing I wanted to do is Root. So I came here and started reading and collecting info. I downloaded some necessary files and went to work. And this is what I got.

On windows XP 32bit

1.Ultimate warp drive.
I ran it and the "drivers" and all went well, it went to "cmw" on phone just fine and "root" went through as did "SU" but when I "reboot" the phone
into "recovery" the "CMW" is no longer there "only the stock recovery" but the root is "Good" and "Super User" I also ran the "ZTE Warp Installer V2" and still can't get "CMW to stick" What am I doing wrong? I was up till 6:00am with jet lag and tunnel vision as well. I only have internet access through PdaNet from my Prevail. If possible can someone tell me what steps are taken first and so on. Thanks and be kind for this is my first Root with ZTE.

download and install a custom ROM and you can get root and stay rooted with cwm... I strongly recommend my ROM (n00b ROM) as a starting point, it's a ROM with NO issues and all the goodies available as far as functionality with the smallest footprint of any ROMS right now.

there are other good ROMS for this phone that would do the same thing but I am biased :)

I believe there is a file on the phones put there by boost now that tries to keep the stock recovery, not sure where it is on the phone, but you have to delete that file so recovery doesn't get written back to stock when you reboot.

Or just flash a custom ROM

I am new to the ZTE and would like to run your Rom, however where would I look for a Rom for ZTE Warp?

Hey guys how do I reboot into recovery? When I do it pressing down volume up button + camera button + power button it reboots into stock recovery.

Its just the volume and power buttons and if its booting into stock that means you don't have cwm recovery.did you install it ? Sometimes it doesn't stick .are you rooted? If your rooted you need root explorer app.go in system/ect and delete contents of install-recovery.sh file, then cwm will stick. There was a thread on it.I will bump it to bring thread to the top here and you can read it before you do anything OK.

I had the same issue, looks like an update along the way added that script that reloads the stock recovery if it's been changed. Perhaps OP should add that to his instructions?

You must install drivers for your phone. You can get most of them off an installer package directly from your phone. And the other is [####] and wont be installed until you reboot to the green android (bootloader). We cannot make a process that will install drivers for you. Sorry

Well you may not be able to do that, but you could have an input box where you put in your IMEI or mobile phone brand/model etc, and then it shows where to find the drivers for selected device, could be done, i can't find drivers for my ZTE KIS on Virgin. I've been known to donate when i see that something really has saved me time, and thus money too. Knowledge costs money, i'm more than willing to pay, but only after delivery of electronic code/info. which is fair enough.

Great Phorum guys, and gals.

Welcome to Android Forums Isamuddin! :D
This root method is only compatible with the ZTE Warp (N860). I couldn't find anything on Android Forums for that phone you specified, or even a root method on Google. Sorry, some phones are unrootable...
