[Guest jean.michel.78]

hello i have rooted my zte link but rom manager seems to be incompatible with android 1.6

do you know how to load a new rom and where i can find a rom with android 2.1

i have heard that the zte racer is the same phone as zte link but with an android 2.1

:)

evening, if not got on already, install clockwork mod recovery to your phone. follow the instructions at the 2nd link, then download a rom from racer roms as a starting point, do not use rom manager, as it does not support the racer. and will do bad things to your phone.

enjoy :)

Hi, I seem to recall someone else having problems flashing their ZTE Link I thought he made a mistake however now I'm not so sure.

I did some checking and I believe the ZTE Link although looks like a Racer is in fact a ZTE N600, the Racer should be an X850.

I'm not sure what's different internally but the source code for the Link is available from ZTE's Android page - http://supporthk.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsMain.aspx?type=service#

If you can restore your original operating system is would be interesting to see your partition layout maybe it's different to the Racer.

For this you need to open a terminal emulator (or abd shell if you have the Android SDK installed) then enter: mount
