I bought a cheap android phone off of a friend a few weeks ago (ZTE Solar, Z795G). This phone has lots of problems out of the box, one of which includes the inability to be rooted (seriously, I have tried every single rooting option available). Another problem I have found, is the fact that this phone is apparently missing a bootloader U.I.
I tried holding down power & V-down or up during startup. I have tried hooking the phone up to my laptop with USB Debugging enabled, and everything works fine, but when I type "ADB reboot bootloader/fastboot/reboot-bootloader" it simply reboots to system. "ADB reboot recovery" works fine, the phone has no problem rebooting into it's, frankly useless, stock recovery.
My question is this... is it actually possible that this device does not have an interactive bootloader?
