Nothing big to reveal here. Just the fact that holding down 'volume up' while powering on gets you to the Warp's Bootloader/Recovery console screen, which offers four choices:

  • reboot system now
  • apply update from sdcard
  • wipe data/factory reset
  • wipe cache partition

Move the selection bar using the volume up/down keys. Make a selection with the camera button. Selecting "apply update from sdcard" takes you to a directory listing of /sdcard.

I have a ZTE N860 and all I get is the regular boot like when you turn your phone on. I've tried it repeatedly and it's always the same. I even tried holding volume "down and on" to see what happened and it's the same thing. I just cannot seem to get this thing to bootloader/recovery ...PLEASE HELP! :(
