Guest tmockingbird Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 Basically, i've had the Orange San Francisco for more than a month now, but i still haven't managed to root and custom rom this device!, i've watched paul's video, but i think the problem is that i cant install the drivers required for my vista laptop. I downloaded drivers from i think.. fibblesan?, but i had no idea how to use them, and everything i tried hadn't worked, wondered if any of you could help me will full on instructions, thanks :)
Guest rjm2k Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 bump There are at least 2 guides on modding without a pc so no drivers needed

Guest UncleFista Posted October 31, 2010 Report Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) This is how "I" did it on my Vista PC. I started with the drivers from this thread. Download link here usb drivers. Right click on "my computer", then choose "properties". Click "device manager". You should see one or more devices that are yellow flagged, we're interested in the "ZTE HSUSB device". Right click on the first "ZTE HSUSB device" and choose "update driver software" "browse my computer for driver software" "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer" A list of device types will appear, don't choose one just click "next" "have disk" then navigate to the "usb_driver" folder, then choose the "android_winusb.inf" file. When the screen come up with "select the device driver you want to install for this hardware" choose "Android ADB interface" then next. At this point you'll get a couple of dire warnings about uncertified drivers etc. just tell it to "install this software anyway". That "should" be it, if not, do the same for all "ZTE HSUSB device". Hopr this helps :) Edited October 31, 2010 by UncleFista

Guest frustrated_with_zte_hsusb Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I have windows xp & Ive done this but it's still not working :D also my phone wont go into boot mode when pressing on & vol up.. if i press power on and vol down i get FTM screen is that normal? anymore help ? can't believe with all the phones orange sell theres no pc suite ! i want to use my sd card I've had this same problem...followed the posts but it's not working for me either. I can see a removable disk in windows explorer but when I click on the icon it says "Please insert a disk into drive F" (C and D are HDDs, E is DVD-ROM in case you're wondering). I'm running windows xp, up to date with patching and trying(!) to plug a ZTE HSUSB device in via USB. I've noticed in the device manager that I get under Android Phone: Android ADB Interface Android Composite ADB Interface Then under USB controllers windows adds: USB Composite Device USB Mass Storage Device Going to the Hardware IDs (right click, properties, details, hardward IDs) all of these look fine - what seems to be causing the problem is a 'generic volume' which appears in the device manager under Storage Volumes. It is the ZTE device but the hardward ID is STORAGE\volume. I can't seem to get rid of it (without removing everything else) and if I disable the generic volume then the removable disk disappears from windows explorer altogether. I should also add that I've enabled USB bugging on the android (settings > applications > development) but [obviously] no dice. What's really driving me spare is that I've only had this thing a week or so....and when I first bought it I was able to connect to my computer via usb!! I'd swear there was a windows update in the meantime... So not sure if that helps anyone still unable to fix the problem and/or if anyone else can help me from here?
