Hi
This is a useful guide and I've managed to get to the point where my phone is recognised and in download mode. But when I try to download the software to it I always get to about step 8 of 100 and then it says 'skip to armprg fail!' . What does this mean and why will the software not download to the phone?

This is the only way I have of getting my Blade running again so would be really grateful for suggestions.

Thanks

try reinstalling the latest drivers - that probably means it can't get the phone to load the temporary bootloader (armprg). Have a look here aswell. Make sure you have unzipped all the files properly.

burstlam,




The "download" means in this window is a download(backup) or upload?
So can I backup CEFS file with this method?

[hedgepigdaniel]

If you select backup NV, you can backup a list of items in the NV memory (not the entire cefs file, but the important parts). Restore NV will restore it, and download will download firmware. download cefs controls whether or not cefs is overwritten.

Hi. I've tried several times to get this to work but it always fails at about 25% with a Download fail message. The log file is below. I tried on two computers and got the same results. Any help is appreciated.

^{am Happy to report that this guide works for the ZTE Merit From Tracfone Wireless, in my findings I think me and my twin are the first to ever accomplish this since I have not seen anything like this before, I warn it was very difficult  but we managed to flash the merit to convert it to a full AT&T Avail from the firmware up. the phone works perfectly too. since am not allowed to discuss unlocking here it also unlocked the phone using the other guide some where around this forum}
