Hi Tom, I uploaded the config file to the Tureis forum on Modaco: http://android.modaco.com/topic/348150-techincal-detail/ If you need anything else let me know. we do still have the lack of useable fastboot tho, unless ZTE have an update , or teamjoch put out their 2.3.5 root exploit theres not much we can do with the thing...
