[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Alex Egony:
This topic is about custom ROM for TMN Bluebelt (aka ZTE n61).

***For TMN Bluebelt2 (ZTE n72 and n75) owners: please, read notes below.

Note: project discontinued, phone sold out.

Introduction:

After completion of the custom firmware for TMN Silverbelt I decided to start work with the firmware for TMN Bluebelt (aka ZTE n61). Especially since I have long been interested in phone with landscape mode and QWERTY keypad.

Notes and Warnings:

1. All surveys were made on the basis of the TMN Bluebelt firmware B13 and TMN Bluebelt2 firmware B06. In fact, it more from Bluebelt2 B06 then from Bluebelt B13

2. I accept no responsibility for bricked or locked devices or any other problems! You are use any information and any files at your own risk!

3. Before you flash this ROM, make sure you are know how to recover from a non-booting ROM or to original ROM! If your device bricked, you can try to flash it by original flasher B13.

4. You MUST read instruction in downloaded packages and post below.

5. I strongly recommend to flash phone with TMN's B13 firmware before using this firmware.

6. Also I recommend (but it still optional) to use custom firmware with new radio software from Bluebelt2.

7. After every ROM flashing you MUST perform a hard reset (see instruction in downloaded package)!

8. If you are use the software for backup and recovery, remember that these programs will work properly only within the same firmware. That is, if you phone flashed with another version of the firmware and you try to recover your data, you're may got unexpected behavior of the phone.

9. There are swapped keyboard buttons: "Wireless Manager" and "Shift" like at Bluebelt II.

Notes to Bluebelt II, ZTE n72 and n75 owners:

1. This firmware made for Bluebelt handset, not for Bluebelt II or another handsets.

2. This firmware was NEVER tested with Bluebelt II or another handsets.

3. But this firmware should work with Bluebelt II (camera will not work and not all RAM will available). If you want to use these ROMs with Bluebelt II, please, flash your handset with TMN Bluebelt II firmware B06 before using these ROMs.

Network Unlocking:

If your phone network-locked, you can unlock it by enter unlock code. Use this calculator for generate unlock code, or use this online service: http://nextgenserver.com/calculator/.
