[HELP] ZTE KIS III fastboot not working

[Guest obliterate]

Hello, so i've been looking everywhere to flash CWM or even TWRP on my ZTE KIS III and i've found KonstaT's guide for CWM.

I installed drivers, downloaded MANY MANY MANY adbs and fastboots, even tried downloading android SDK but can't find the adb and fastboot :D. My problem is: I connect Phone to PC, enable USB Debugging on phone, open CMD, write adb reboot bootloader. It becomes blank(goes to bootloader or fastboot or whatever :D), then i write fastboot boot recovery.img(i renamed it) and it says <Waiting for device>

I'm currently using Windows 8.1, i've installed Windows 7 in dual boot mode and still same error persists. Any help would, well, help. Thank you

Why not use the CWM thread then? This has been discussed there a dozen times anyway.

You need to install USB driver that supports generic Google fastboot mode (18d1:d00d).

There's one that comes with Android SDK. Then there's also universal driver at XDA. I'm not a Windows user so this doesn't really concern me. Last time I tried my Windows 7 managed to install appropriate fastboot driver automatically.

adb and fastboot are two completely different things.

when i used fastboot boot recovery-cwm6051-kis3.img it booted fine and when i flashed it it gave me error

ok, so i just realised i used 6050 renamed as 6051, i now downloaded 6051 and it showed FAILED: (command write failed(no such device or address)) then i wrote fastboot devices and it detected my phone? pls help

[Guest KonstaT]

Also already discussed in the CWM thread. Some have said they needed to 'fastboot oem unlock' first. Some have fastboot booted the CWM image and then installed the recovery flashable CWM zip.

ok, works, thank you, if you can, you may close the thread now :)
