Guest mikeeo19 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Problems... I've done excatly how it says on the guide, but now i think i've bricked my device. After the flash was completed i rebooted the recovery as it was told. Then i flashed the SS RLS4, which installed successfully. Now when i try rebooting my device it boots to recovery... I mean ONLY to recovery. It won't start anyhow. I've tried reflashing the stock recovery, tried different partition and always the same. I've done system/cache wipe... nothing. Please help ! Or tell me the sad truth of bricking my phone if needed :mellow: EDIT: This morning i tried restoring my device from CWM backups, it did'nt help. Once again it said "Install successful" but won't boot properly Edited April 28, 2011 by mikeeo19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joe90uk Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I used the first windows flasher kallt_kaffe made the first week this all started so i have a 128mb partition. My question is can i run the flasher again with the lager partition files will it be safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joe90uk Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Ive got no help so far by using search so im guessing that there is no way to change the partition size now? I want to run CM7 so i will just have to remove the Rom Manager.apk and bootanimation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest joe90uk Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 yes you can and it'll be safe Thank you for the answer i may attempt it i will read the thread over to make sure i no what im doing, a guide on re flashing a GEN2 to change the layout would be good. I understand it like this, I need to install a stock GEN2 ROM first then enter FTM following the step buy step in the first post just like before just this time on a stock GEN2 ROM and ive added the lager partition file to the flasher.

Guest EarL007 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 I also did the Gen2 update on my originally Gen1 Blade, it was successful. I noticed the better network reception, in my house, especially in the kitchen, the network recpetion was a bit weak, even in the kitchen there was no signal, after Gen2 update, it became slightly better. :mellow: During update I almost s*** myself, I was so nervous about it, I didn't want to turn Blade into a brick. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest !Amo! Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Hi guys! Can anybody upload the Gen2toGen1Windows_v2.zip downgrade file somewhere, because the original link (http://www.mediafire.com/?751h7bh2c71e37m) is sooooo slow, about 900b/s Edit: I could download the file finally Thank you!

Guest hedgepigdaniel Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 @hecatae I think it would be a good idea to change the title of this thread to make it clear that it contains instructions for downgrading Gen2 to Gen1 safely - there are still many people asking about this in other topics, which might be avoided if they saw that in the pinned section. Also perhaps you could indicate in the OP that downgrading is now safe and doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kogos Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) @hecatae if i get one of the partition layout zip files, unzip it and replace boot.img, recovery.img, splash.img and system.img with the files from an official updater, will it flash my gen1 android 2.1 blade to a gen2 froyo re-partitioned blade with stock official 2.2 rom? Or it will brick it? Anybody tried that? i think it would normally work. Edited May 6, 2011 by kogos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a better idea to put clockworkmod (the Gen2 one) in as recovery.img, in case your ROM doesn't boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Redflake Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 After charging and battery drain issues, I just used this method to go back to Gen 1 and FLB r11. All went fine and phone is much better, only 2% battery drain over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panzerfaust101 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Something went wrong with my Blade when I was trying to go from G2 to G1. at 98% the phone suddenly turned on and the green Android kept going on and off continuously and the run was replaces by a red "reset". I therefore closed the window and unplugged the phone and now it's stuck like this. please help :P Btw, I can access the phone via fastboot but recovery doesn't work (the phone keeps restarting itself if you don't boot into fastboot). I haven't tried using ADB because 1. idk how to get it and 2. idk how to use it. I think bootloader doesn't work because when I tried to boot into bootloader, it got stuck on the green Android.

Your problem sounds like it is the same as this one - If your Blade is Chinese then suggest you try the solutions listed in that thread and you should be able to fix it up. In future, have a look at more recent posts to see if they can help you - this thread hasn't been updated in a while. The alternative is my guide here (on the ROMs forum - and is has a warning about Chinese Blades). Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ice-berg Posted May 29, 2011 Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Hello. After returning to Gen1, of course, I could not restore IMEI. Finally, I managed to do it, but it's not my old number, just 00000XXXXX Something I did with the file channel1, now the IMEI number changed to 0 - only a 0 and nothing more. The phone works normally, but II would like to to restore my old IMEI number . No tutorial does not work, unfortunately ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest k0zmic Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 If I have bought GEN2 with 2.2 - can i try this method to repartitioned my phone? I believe you can since I used it to upgrade to Gen 2 and then while I was on Gen 2 I repartitioned. Do get a second opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eildor Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I'm stuck here: 5. Unzip the contents of Gen2toGen1Windows_v2.zip to your computer and run download_nochecksGen2.exe. There should be a green “Ready” under the start button. Press the start button. I have downloaded the zip file but there's no files in it and a link to an updated version... please advise.
