Yeah I did but its actually stock as I had installed a lot of applications and stuff....

the data partition is not needed, any chance you can upload the boot and system partitions

I have the same "Unrecognised" problem and i can't find a solution. Plus I can't check rebooting it into Clockwork because the phone freezes on the operator logo screen everytime i try to enter recovery mode and i must take out the battery to boot it again in phone mode.

I resolved the problems i had by wiping directly from Recovery Manager, by ignoring the "unrecognised" tab and going into manual boot and manual installing.

Swedish Spring is 2.2

Another question that's probably been answered already:
If I used the official Comviq 2.2 TPT upgrade to go from 2.1 to 2.2, is my phone a G1 or G2?

Latest Update

22nd April - Updated Swedish Spring to RLS5

[vicsekm]

Hi,
I bought a ZTE Blade gen2 from Vodafone Hungary. Everything worked like a charm. I already installed Swedish Spring RLS5 on it. I discovered that my devices sees only 256 MB RAM, but has 512MB in it. I know that i cant use the fix for the gen1 devices. I already connected Vodafone, cause they actually sell this devices with 512MB RAM. So it's actually their fault and they said they will look in to it, but I rather find a fix somewhere else. I dont want to revert my device to factory firmware just to enable their fix, if they will have one. Do you know anything about this problem? Can anyone help me? And thanks for the infos, it were very helpful so far.

Great set of questions - I am a bit out of touch with what's safe for ACTUAL GEN2 hardware - The ROMS here are good (swedish spring?) CM7?

But Be careful of TPT's

can anyone comment and help me out in a suggesting a good RTL (right TO Left) ROM?

Hello,

I installed latest Cyanogenmod on my DELL XCD35 (ZTE Blade) using Clockworkmode Recovery. I did not take a backup. I want to go back to the stock ROM. I found the ROM from this link: http://android.modac...ade-stock-roms/ but when I flash it with Clockworkmode, it flashes fine but doesn't boot and stays on the Green Android Screen.

What am I doing wrong? Is there a different recovery method used for stock ROMs? Please suggest.

Thank you.

What GEN is your device - GEN1 or GEN2

Which ROM did you install?

Have you done a Factory Reset (in Clockwork)?

[bahador]

Please HELP

I think i've Bricked my ZTE V9 (2.2 upgraded already so it should be Gen2)

I managed to install the   r12-update-modacocustomrom-blade-kitchen-unsigned.zip   via the clockwork

and now i'm stuck.

the clockwork recovery option is not coming up anymore when i do the Start + Vol -


Get Stuck on the andriod screen for good

rebooted many times...

dooooh

[Sand0r]

I'm having a little bit of trouble understanding this, if i'm correct these are the stept to follow to get froyo 2.2 on your zte blade right? How long does this process take?

This is the full process right? so you root the phone, install clockworkrecovery, back up, and then install swedish spring, et voila?

Ok guys I really need your help. I messed up flashing and because I did things in the wrong order. Here's what I did:-

1. I upgraded gen1 to gen 2

2. I then wiped data/factory reset without flashing clockworkmod recovery.

3. The phone then rebooted and stayed on the green man screen and thats it.

4. I managed to finally find a clockworkmod that would work v3.0.1.4 none of the others came on, it just stayed at the green man screen.

5. I try flashing and all it say's:-

Install from sd card
Finding update
opening update
E:Can't open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted.

I did another phone at christmas and that worked fine because I did it in the right order. But I do remember when I flashed the clockworkmod it was green and upsidedown, but I can't find one that does that now.

The link for  z4root 1.3.0 does not work.

These 2 files seem to have newer versions. Is it ok to use them?

Hi all!

I know this is already asked a few times in different ways. I have read those posts too! However, I will really appreaciate if someone can help me with this particular confusion.

I have ZTE Blade which came with 2.1 Orange ROM. I then rooted, unlocked and using TPT method described in the forum, changed my GEN1 (2.1, AMOLED) phone to GEN2 (2.3.3, AMOLED) phone as I flashed CM7 Stable version 7.0.3

I have used it for few days, but I found several bugs that annoy me. I wanted to switch back to a 'debranded' but stock rom. I am presuming it's basically an Orange rom but without Orange bloatware.

Now my confusion is:

1) Is my phone permenantly GEN2 now?
2) If I want to install stock ROM, do I need back to GEN1?
3) Should I be ONLY flashing stock for GEN2?
4) I've presume GEN2 is better than GEN1 - so if I flash GEN2 stock over CM7 stable version 7.0.3 (for GEN2), will I keep GEN2 but downgrade to 2.1?
5) Is it the same if I go for a 2.2 Froyo custom rom from here?
6) Also, I did flash N85 on top of 7.0.3 Stable and then switched back. Does this mean that I still have the bugs/errors from N85 build on my phone? No matter what and how I flash?

Thanks a lot in advance and awaiting help
