Guest Oblitamatron Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Hi, Two weeks ago I unlock and debranded my OSF II using the guide here: http://community.gif...ighlight/false. Now the phone has got stuck on the second loading logo. I do ont know what might have caused it but programs of late have been forcing themselves to close. Is there anything I can do to rcover it? I'm new to the smartphone scene so do not have alot of experience (or knowledge) about these things :( Any help would be great as my back up phone is a nokia from an age away.

When you say second loading screen.. what does it look like? did the unlocking process you followed include installing clockwork recovery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSF II Logo Screen Follow the link to thepic and this is the screen it just sits on. As for CWM I thought it did but from what I've read it might have just used CWM during the process but not installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove your sd card, put the latest fish and chips release on it, turn phone on holding volume down pressed untill you get into clockwork mods. Then perform the wipes ( factory reset, cache partition,dalvic). after doint the above choose the option "install zip from sd card" then "choose zip from sd card" Select fish and chips, let it install, reboot, bobs your uncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oblitamatron Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 OK I'll have a try of that. Just need to get a micro SD reader. Btw I've tried turning on + holding the volume down key which displays FTM on a grey background but just stays like that. I would assume I should still get into a menu if CWM is installed on there? Thanks for your help btw :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help btw :) You don't have CWM installed at the moment. You'll need to install it following the guides on here, and then you can make backups and install any rom you want whenever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK I'll scourer the forum for a guide and let you know of my progress. Thanks again to the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jasonleeds Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 once you have CWM installed, you can use the "mount usb" within cwm to transfer your new rom across. Personally can never find my card reader when i need it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oblitamatron Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Ok I've had a look at some guides but think I might be getting lost in the jargon. If you could point me to an appropriate guide that would be great. When in 'FTM' mode my device is no longer recognised now as before it mentinoed some 'Diagnostic' mode. Getting a little desperate now. I apologise for being a complete n00b but just confused on how to get CWM installed without using USB since my phone is not being detected when in FTM mode and not through the debugging mode as I can't get to that setting any more.

Try using this method. It should work without debugging mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oblitamatron Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 Try using this method. It should work without debugging mode. Ok after trying the method with the San Francisco II v5.0.2.7 file I still just get the FTM screen with no signs of it moving on. I triple checked to make sure that the files match as mentioned in the procedure and I also tried the other SFII files to no avail :( No idea what to do next.

Make sure the image folder is on the root of the sdcard, and that you are holding menu and vol+ before you press the power button. Keep holding them until you see the green text or it goes to another screen. If that still doesn't work, try with another sdcard. Some just don't work with it.

When I try holding menu and vol+ it doesn't do anything, just goes to the boot loop. I get the FTM screen when holding vol- and that's also what happens with a newly bought SD card I got earlier. I feel a rage face a coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest domenico lamberti Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 try holding home button, i know it sounds weird and counter intuitive but i think that Amphoras copy and pasted over from the og SF (blade) thread which had the menu button in the middle, try vol+ and the home button and then see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oblitamatron Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 I was talking more about which ROM to go for but I've for raverrs Fish'n'Chips which looks pretty sweet. Just wish I had more internal storage for more apps. I know Amphoras made some TPTs for free some extra space up for apps and the like which I hadn't got round to. How safe is it to do? A bit wary of things now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
