Thanks for the response Eduardo! Unfortunately, I get a verification failed error when trying to flash the ztedevices.com zip file in recovery mode (seems pretty common in other threads). When I try to flash your custom boot.img, I am still getting the "No such device" error described above.
However, I have gone into the actual fastboot source code and found the exact point where fastboot fails to flash the device: In engine.c[1], fb_queue_flash() first sends the data to the device (line #383), then tells the device to flash the partition via a "flash:boot" or "flash:recovery" command (line #388). However, when usb_write() and ioctl() are eventually called for the "flash:boot" or "flash:recovery" command in usb_linux.c[2] (line #363), this causes the device to reboot. When the device reboots, it no longer has the same usb_handle as previously. Thus, when usb_read() tries to read the response of the usb_write() in usb_linux.c[2] (line #400), it can't find the cached usb_handle that has since changed. This is why I get a "No such device" error. So, the real problem is why does sending a "flash:boot" or "flash:recovery" command to the device cause a reboot? Apparently, that's not supposed to happen. When fastboot sends other commands (like "getvar:max-download-size") it returns just fine. Does anyone know the internals of the ZTE Open that might explain why those commands are causing reboots?
