ROM! (find your own rom and download it from here) : http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blade-roms-rom-customisation/319831/13-...

Instructions:


Step 1: Extract FastBoot to your desktop.
Step 2: Place the 'recovery-clockwork-bla­de-2.5.1.8.img file into your Fastboot folder'
Step 3: Move the fastboot folder into the root of your C drive
Step4 : Turn off your phone and take out the battery for a few seconds. Replace the battery and turn your phone back on whilst holding the 'Volume up' button. Your phone should show a Green Android logo and then remain on that screen.
Step 5: Plug your phone into your PC
Step 6: Open up a command prompt as administrator (Select Start Menu, Run and then type 'CMD' and enter).
Step 7: Type in C:
8: type in 'cd c:/fastboot'
9: type in 'fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-blade-2.5.1.8.img'
10: Once that process shows as completed type 'fastboot-windows reboot' into cmd
11: Let your Phone reboot
12: Copy the file 'update.zip' across to the root of the SD card on your phone.
If update.zip is not there then that means you have downloaded a new rom which requires full installation. therefore copy the whole zip file you downloaded into the root of your card.
13: Turn your phone off and remove the battery for a few seconds. Replace the battery and turn your phone back on whilst this time holding VOLUME DOWN'. Your phone will show the Green Android logo again but this time after a few seconds it will load ClockworkMod Recovery.
14: Select 'apply Update.zip' option and then confirm that you want to apply it. (Use the Volume Up/Down buttons to navigate the menu and the Home button as enter).
OR!! select wipe data and press yes, then select wipe cache partition, then select install zip from SD card, choose zip from SD card and find the zip file and press ok.
15: ClockworkMod Recovery will begin to flash the phone (you'll see the progress on screen). Once completed, select the reboot option from the menu.

Thats it, it should be done!

Take your time and know what you are doing.

I take no responsibility for damage caused to your phones.

I would like to thank the modaco community and 'StevenHarperUK' for providing links and a written tutorial.

I take no credit for this work. I am purely showing you how to do it.

is flash the same as root?

[CaptainBeavus]

@MrEnterainment nope. however a root is needed to flash the device

[ecartman12]

Does this effect the phone in any bad way at all? Batery life, phone calls?

[CaptainBeavus]

@ecartman12 Noo.. These Roms are tweaked to make the phone better and more reliable! Hope it helps!

@CaptainBeavus Will you have to wipe everything off your phone in order to make these tweaks take effect?

[CaptainBeavus]

@ecartman12 In order to place a new rom on your phone you have to wipe your phone clean using clockwork recovery! You can see how in my other videos!

[MrAbrar1996]

will there be an 2.2 update for the orange san francisco ?

[ecartman12]

@CaptainBeavus Ok thanks alot.

[CaptainBeavus]

@japangamesrocks lol Sounds good!! But Im sure the custom 2.2 roms will be better!

[japangamesrocks]

@CaptainBeavus He's sadly wrong :( Telia and Comviq has announced 2.2 FroYo for their ZTE Blade's but their not realising it anytime soon, and btw ZTE is the developer for ZTE Blades 2.2., That means every Blade will get the 2.2 :)
