After my last post, I realized that not everyone may be able to get into fastboot. There isn't really much to do there, but it does help to be able to 'fastboot boot' stuff.

Linux:
I didn't have any issues getting it set up. I did have to add another line to the 51-android-rules file for it to work, however.

Windows:
I essentially did the same thing, but it's a bit more of a pain to work with. I'm just going to link to the file I used. It's a modified version of the Universal ADB Drivers from koush. (I'm pretty sure that's it, don't have it in front of me. It's on my windows PC, which I don't use very often.)

Modified for the ZTE Awe:

If you wish to install this 'properly', I suggest you install the Universal driver from koush, then replace the winusb.inf file with the one in the zip I provided. Otherwise, I believe I included the necessary files to install the drivers without installing the universal driver entirely.

When you get your phone into fastboot mode and connected to the computer, go to device manager and choose to update the driver. Browse to the universal driver file, and it should find it.
