Guest beyorn Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hello Naturally, when you go to the cinema, you turn your phone off so that you don't get calls which would wind everyone up. After the film, I turn it back on, and it hangs on the green android logo. Tried removing the battery, nothing worked. So when I got home, I asked my friend and he told me to try and access clockwork to re-install the ROM. Clockwork no longer works, and it just takes me to a blank screen. So he told me to re-install clockwork via the Power + Vol up - mode, (Download mode) or something. However, it says it's not detected, but infact it is, just wont show up as a data transfer device, just doesn't show up in My Computer. I don't know what else to try Does anyone know what to do? I know absolutely nothing about Android, only had this phone a week Thanks Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markusj Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Use Total Phone Transplant, it's the simplest way to reinstall your phone. http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...01-24-oled-tft/ Download the Japanese_Jellyfish_RLS9_image.zip, copy the image folder on your SD, and when powering on hold Menu and Volume+ buttons. When the green text appears, release the buttons, and wait for it to complete the installation. After it finished and booted, remove the image folder, so you won't accidentally reinstall your phone. Don't interrupt this install, or the Kraken will eat you and your phone. You'll have a clean phone, but it won't harm any data stored on the SD.

Hello, thank you for your response (I am the OP, I just didn't have a forum account, so I borrowed my friend's) I've registered now. I am unable to access the phone as a storage device, it works when I did it via fastboot/command line, but it doesnt show up in my computer. Is it in the wrong sort of mode or something?

Guest Grain Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 The phone does not show up as USB mass storage to the PC when in fastboot mode. Fastboot uses an own special protocol. For getting the TPT image onto the SD card with a phone failing to boot, you have to fall back to an external SD card reader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green text appeared, installed, and then the phone rebooted, and I Was greeted with a hanging green android logo again. Does nothing from there. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello. Clockwork no longer works :S I've tried installing 3 different versions. One of them went from Green android logo, to blue android logo, then hangs there. the 2nd one just hangs on green and the 3rd one the screen goes black after green android logo. None of them work :huh: I have no idea what I'm doing with smartphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rotmann Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Download "partition_1_136_319.zip" from here, unzip it and put the "image" folder directly onto the card (not in another folder). Also put the ROM zip from here. Switch off the phone. Press MENU + VOL UP + POWER, wait arount 3-5 minutes untill clockworkmod appears. Flash the ROM and try. Please make sure you are familiar with flashing, wiping and so on, maybe you are not doing one little step right and this screws the whole stuff.

Green text loads, then disapears, the green android logo appears, then disapears. Then just blank screen. I'll give it a few minutes, like you said.

Guest wbaw Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Nope. nothing. Just blank screen. It should boot into clockworkmod 2, rather than a black screen. Try the Japanese Jellyfish image install, that should be a general cure-all. It should also install amon-ra recovery, a good alternative to clockwork.

He did that, no joy, still hangs on the bootscreen. Strange, because TPT should wipe everything. Maybe your filesystem is corrupted, that's why even TPT couldn't fix it? TPT reformatted the system partition, so it should be OK. I'm no dev, but I'd try erasing your boot partition with fastboot, then flashing clockworkmod/RA recovery to it. When powered on, it should boot into recovery without pressing anything. If not, that's a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ste Edge Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 hi guys, i just got my second san fran and flashed with SoftBank (Japan): Libero 003Z, now getting flashing green man - feel like i need to cross the road :huh: the first san fran can boot into TFT, when i connect the 2nd, i get an install hardware error. clockwork 3.0.0.6 was installed and i used this to install the SoftBank (Japan): Libero 003Z. I have also tried fastboot and nothing apears to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markusj Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hello.. What filesystem does android use? and is the system on the SD card? if so, I can format the SD card to that specific filesystem. The system partition is on the phone, I'm not sure what filesystem it uses. The SD filesystem depends on what ROM you're using. My stock ROM didn't recognize FAT32, but newer kernels support it. If you're using a2sd (e.g. Japanese Jellyfish), you should have an ext partition. JapJelly supports it up to ext4. The ext partition shouldn't be too large, last time I checked, ext partition over 512MB caused problems. (Besides that, 512+ MB is a waste of space, 512 is more than sufficient.)

What filesystem does android use? and is the system on the SD card? if so, I can format the SD card to that specific filesystem. Nevermind, someone has informed me that the android system is on the internal memory, in which case modifying the SD card won't help. So, how would I go about formatting the filesystem? - I have absolutely no knowledge in anything related to Android or Fastboot.

Thanks :huh: If you already have fastboot, and you set the path to it, just type in cmd 'fastboot', you'll see the available commands. You'll need 'fastboot erase boot'. (fastboot erase <partition>) Download a cwm image, type in 'fastboot flash boot recovery-clockworkmod-*********.img', then 'fastboot reboot'.

The first clockwork I tried, it booted, and the green android logo appeared, then it turned blue, and just hung on the blue logo. Then i tried installing the latest blade clockwork image, it shows me the green android logo, and then it goes to a black screen, where it just hangs I dont know what to try anymore, is this a hardware problem? Is there a way to totally wipe everything on the internal memory? and start a fresh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbaw Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Is there a way to totally wipe everything on the internal memory? and start a fresh? The JJ9 image install will wipe all the internal memory & install a fresh custom rom & recovery. The original hungarian tpt image will do the same, but with a hungarian t-mobile stock rom & recovery. Charge it fully, turned off, wait till the light goes green, then install the hungarian tpt, when that has finished (there should be some green text on the screen, while its working) leave the phone for 15 minutes to make sure its not booting, then remove the battery, the sd card & the sim card & try again. If it doesn't work after doing that, I think it has to be a hardware problem. If it just suddenly stopped working for no reason, then it is probably a hardware problem.

You can't wipe everything, there are more basic partitions (hidden deep in the system), they better stay intact, or I guess you'll have a brick with nice buttons on it. Sorry, this is way out of my league, you'll need a developer to find out, what's happening in that blade of yours. Or you can return it, based on this, they won't be able to notice anything of these changes. (Just flash a proper boot.img, so the robot won't turn blue or disappear) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello I'd like to thank everyone for their help. I haven't managed to get it working. I'll be sending it back to get a replacement. Thanks again Tom.
