How to Flash U-Xboot via terminal
can anyone answer me??
OK define terminal, you mean a Linux os terminal on your pc, a command prompt on windows, or a terminal emulator on android? If the process is from your PC you are going to need omap4boot to do it unless the phone is unlocked already, in which case fastboot would do it unless you already bricked the device. More details will help us help you.

When I go to fastboot mode, I can't use it. I type fastboot devices but I get blank screen.q I install drivers and I can use adb from WinXP and Linux.
What to do?
Thank's in advince
Use the latest fastboot binary from the android sdk (linux). On windows you might need some driver hack that is floating around here somewhere.
€: For windows: If adb is working you should also be fine eith a recent fastboot binary.
I installed drivers and downloaded lastest sdk(you have it in first post).

I was messing about with the same thing. When you type fastboot devices it can give strange answers. Mine came up with: ? fastboot. When i typed fastboot devices. So i kept looking and uninstalling and installing and always the same answer. So i tryed to send some commands to the folio and Viola! it was connected. But if it dont answer you just have to follow this guide on setting up ADB and Fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915894 Good luck
If I understood,I must install drivers when I'm in fastboot mode?

It is the same driver/udev rule that adb uses, so if adb works, fastboot should also.
I looked all over the internet for help with this phone. I rooted it for a friend and a week later, he said he restarted the phone and everything started force closing.
I troubleshot all day, and came to figure out that my only known to me as of now, is flashing CWM to it, via ADB. I am having several issues with setting up ADB, and getting the phone to communicate with my computer. Device manager DOES show that there is an ADB device installed correctly, so what would my next move be? I got the phone into FTM mode, (fastboot?) and I know that that is what I need to do to get ADB to communicate with my phone.
halp pls
Really no one can help???

CWM Beta
From Android Forums ... Thanks to Junkie2100
this is an unfinished copy of cwm, tested to be almost completely functional
standard warnings apply, use at your own risk, you try to blame me for breaking your phone i will laugh at you
instructions:
fastboot method is possible, but i will go through the terminal/adb method
download the recovery file, and put it on the root of your sd. no folders, just directly on the sd
get your phone rooted and get a copy of terminal emulator or connect to it through adb on your computer, adb will require zte drivers and the adb program on the pc. the choice is yours
fire up adb by typing
Code (Text):
adb shell
in the command prompt, if its not working you dont have adb in the directory youre in, just copy adb.exe and the two .dll files to c:\windows\system32\ and itll work from anywhere, or learn how command prompt works
or fire up terminal emulator on the phone
on adb shell or terminal emulator type
Code (Text):
su
dd if=/sdcard/flash_cwm_test2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
you will then need to run
Code (Text):
reboot recovery
and then hit reboot when cwm comes up, if it asks to disable recovery flashing press yes or it will put stock recovery back next time the rom boots
known bugs:
unmounting doesnt work
downloads:
w.ww.4shared.com/file/2qBR2Kfr/flash_cwm_test2.html
i apologize for it being 4shared, if someone wants to make a mirror ill put it up
In Windows I cannot find it at all, running adb devices gives me an error.
In ubuntu it shows up as ??????????? but i have no permissions for some reason, so I cannot do the steps to Bump
Anyone have a way to fix this so I can Bump and finally get on to flashing the Modem, then custom roms finally!
You can also install it from Terminal Emulator, right on the phone, rather than adb. In TE, skip the "adb shell" line, input the 2nd - 4th lines, starting from "su".

You can also use Flashify to flash the bump'd TWRP recovery - that's what I did, worked beautifully. You can find Flashify in the Play Store.
For Linux, you must run sudo adb devices... Then the rsa key will pop up on the phones screen, then your good to go. You must run the sudo command first, or you'll need to run the adb kill-server command, then start again with elevated permissions. If your on 11c, you must be in ptp mode, for 10b ethernet mode.
For Windows, well who cares, use Linux...

Thank you all. Those adb kill commands were it. Everything worked out fine.. but now when i do the rest of the steps i boot into system recovery (not twrp) but like the phone system recovery, and it seems like thats not what i should be booting into.

I am not familiar with Linux but on Windows waiting for device comes up when the driver for that phone is installed. May be you can look into it for a solution.
Install the drivers and then give it a try.

You need to install adb fastboot these are the instructions you need to type in the terminal you just opened. Type one line at a time and press enter after each. Allow Ubuntu to do it's stuff.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
after you reboot to the bootloader you use fastboot commands ,not adb

I have adb. I'm trying to say, when I'm in recovery mode, my phone is no longer found on my computer. Not just adb, the whole computer

Sorry, I'm messing up what I'm trying to say. I have adb and fastboot installed, running on ubuntu 16.04. I plug my phone in, open Terminal, and run adb devies. My device pops up, it's there. So I run adb reboot bootloader, my phone goes on the white screen with the android fellow, and all is good. Now, I i try adb devices again, nothing. I put in lsusb (lists all usb devices connected to computer), and nothing. So, naturally, when i try fastboot oem unlock and my code, I'm stuck on <waiting for device>

adb does not work in the bootloader
After reboot bootloader it's fastboot devices
If you get no response try a different usb port
Or different usb cord

Brother i have a android but i don’t have any pc. So i want to give adb commands. So can i give those adb fastboot commands without pc with another android?
@Md Nafis Muhtadi
ADB ( to be correct: the ADB client ) is a driver to get installed and be run on computers.
Impossible. Adb runs on PC and communicates to the device.

It's like asking a patient to do its own surgery, it would be convenient but not possible.
Then how to unlock bootloader of my j500H without PC?
@Md Nafis Muhtadi
Ask a friend who owns a computer ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) for assistence.
