Root ZTE U960 ROM Discussion

I'm currently using your rom 1.5.1 with the overclock and I didn't manage to run the zte oneclick upgrade tool. (I attach the phone and when a press the start button the phone simply reboot...)

if you are using a virtual machine you need to reconnect the usb device tothe virtual machine, whenever it disconnects.

in order to user your kernel do I need to first install the 2B06 using the zte upgrade tool and then apply your update from the recovery ?

You can use it in any rom, just keep in mind the annoing behavior with the market, so is easier to use it on a freshly upgraded phone, wiping it again after the kernel upgrade.

Thanx for the answer... I will retry.
Sorry for the dumb question... but if I install the latest katty's kernel over 1.5.1 I do not get the latest rom 2B06 release from ZTE correct ?

If I want to have an uptodated phone I should installa both the ROM with the one-click-install and then katty's kernel?

If you update just the kernel you will end with the kernel updated, that's all

Exactly.

Exactly.

Now I managed to install the ROM with the oneclick tool and the phone is running with the new (almost) chinese ROM! But now with setmode tool cannot see my phone :afraid: and for this reason I cannot continue to install google apps and the new kernel...
Any suggestion ?

Thanx a lot

you can download them directly on the phone, so not an huge problem.

btw try to turn off the phone plug it on the usb and then turn it on, pay attention to connect the usb device to the virtual machine quickly (it may change during the boot, so you may need to do it more than one time).

You can also use it on win 7 (even 64bit) XP is not mandatory for the utility

Now I've fixed the usb problem by entering the code *983*87274# and selecting the first option. Now I can mount the device and I can also see the device with adb. It seams to me that the recovery is not working even if I've renamed the file as you suggested probably beacause at the and of the update process the phone didn't reboot normally and I had to remove the battery... Now I try to install the recovery...

I've uploaded my new kernel 2B06 here with 386Mb of ram, init.d support and overclock to 1.4GHz.

and the version without overclock with 390Mb of ram here ...

Try to use it on your own risk and hazard ... as always it is ...

Hi Catty,
I saw the new splash screen with the cat... nice :)

I've installed the overclocked version but it seems that it doesn't have the /system/etc/inid.d foder and for this reason the v6 script doesn't ask me about init.d integration. How can I enable init.d support ?

Cheers!

OneClick Updater dows not like my computers I have here. Actually I don'T get this tool running as it will not recognize my phone. Tried with Win7 32bit and XP in a virtual box.

This is what I do:

- Install oneclick-Tool
- install driver in the package
- turn off and unplug phone.
- Plug in phone
- wait for driver installation
- unplug and turn off phone again.
- start the updater tool
- plugin phone

From there on nothing happens. Phone will go into malshenzu charging state. If I start phone it will start regulary without starting the update process.

So did I missed something? It's a pitty not to get this tool working as I really need the 2B06. SIM1 is still not working for my simcards of o2 :/

In the about phone,
Kernel version

But neitter VOL up + Power button or Vol down + Power button start the recovery mode. Keeping Vol up and Power start the phone normaly

I also have the same problem and I think the vol up + Power does not work: (tried many times ...)
I put the phone in recovery mode from the android sdk by using "adb reboot recovery". I think I can also install some recovery app from the market...

I guest this has something to do with windows installation, try to get a clean real XP machine.
