Guest davtom.net Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I have two of the very earliest OLED Orange San Franciscos. After having a great deal of trouble flashing one of them, I just flashed it using this TPT method with this rom: CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 Gen1 to Gen2 Upgrade TPT It really worked brilliantly. Thanks very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Amphoras Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) New version of the app, more download links for different partition layouts. Also has the CM7 RC1 and GSF B19 all in one TPTs. Download links show partition sizes for standard TPTs. Added menu, instructions page, "working" dialogs while it unzips, checks md5s etc. Some other fixes as well. You can also now download it directly from the market! https://market.andro...horas.tpthelper Edit: Forgot to add that it needs root to turn off the phone when you're ready to start the TPT. It doesn't need it for any of the other parts. Edited August 28, 2011 by Amphoras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi guys. I have a Gen 1 TFT OSF/Blade that is trying to brick itself. I used the gsf-blade-b19-tpt zip file, which I extracted in the SD card using WinZip from my PC The nandroid.md5 checksum was OK AFAIR using AVF The method seems very good, but when I press menu / + / power on, I get 5 lines of green text: Update from T-Flash card! (then 5 lines of files that load 100%) load/mmcl/image/splash.image 85% error! Then nothing more. Left it for 10 minutes. Have to take battery out. If I try booting with the power key or the + key and the power key, I get a big green robot with the top 15% of the screen scrambled. I've tried taking the SD out, defragging and scanning it and downloading the gsf-blade-b19-tpt zip file from a different mirror. - same result. Next, I shall try an alternative to WinZip. If that doesn't work, I shall try a new SD card (Gulp! Spending Money!) I already spent £58 buying the thing on fleabay! Any other advice gratefully accepted. Oooh. Just thought. Could someone send me, or put up the "splash.img" file, from within their gsf-blade-b19-tpt zip file? It's only 752KB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Well, I've done the decompression with 7-zip and got the same result. I got exactly the same result using the CM7 TPT zip as well. Which makes me think that when the screen says: Update from T-Flash card! It is not referring to my SD card. I have a feeling this is not good news. Edited September 2, 2011 by antiluddite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0zmic Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Try the custom one to see if it makes any difference, I'm guessing it won't but it's worth a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well something's getting into it. As now, when I turn the machine on, even without the SD card, the robot is on a skateboard! LOL! The top 15% of the screen is still scrambled and it is locked up.

It sounds like it's trying to boot into CyanogenMod (the robot on the skateboard is probably it's bootanimation). So it freezes and the top bit of the screen is weird? Try turn it off then turn it on using Volume down and Power (if this doesn't work hold Menu as well). Hopefully, this will take you into recovery mode.

Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Volume up and menu and power gives green text with splash.image 85% error! Volume up and power gives skateboard (top scrambled and locked) Volume down and power gives the same Volume down and menu and power gives the same. Pressing both vol buttons and the on button is showing the "diagnostic interface" in windows hardware device manager, when connected via USB. My question is: which method from the De-Bricking guide would be best for me? Edited September 2, 2011 by antiluddite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks K0zmic. Computer (XP with ZTE Handset Drivers) is not recognising the blade as a "fastboot interface" under "ADB interfaces" I just get a yellow question marked Android in my device manager.For which I cannot find drivers. I'm tempted to put a recovery-clockwork-blade-genX img file onto a clean SD in my Blade. Would this be a goer? If so, should I use a gen1 or a gen2 file? I'm not sure which gen my blade is after all this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, Windows Update can find the correct drivers itself. Regarding what Gen phone it is now, I'm not sure. Someone else will need to answer that.

Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks. Windows still unable to recognise the Blade as a "fastboot interface" under "ADB interfaces". I think that since I cannot go from gen1 to 2 by either the StirFry or the CM7 file, I should next try the 2 to 1 TPT further down the First Post on this thread. Other advice still welcome.

Bummer, when my laptop didn't recognize it I did those steps and it finally recognized, although it is running Windows 7. Regarding what to do next I'm not sure, you could try an older version of the TPT e.g. v7. I just can't find the link for it ATM. If I do I'll add it. Edit: Okay, found some v7 TPT's http://www.filesonic.com/file/1100265571/Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v7.zip http://www.filesonic.com/file/1145889684/Gen1-to-Gen2-TPT-v7b.zip v7b has a smaller system size I think which is just enough for CM7 & Gapps.

Guest antiluddite Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 Just to clarify: I have not used either of the (roughly) 16MB custom or stock zip files.

Guest antiluddite Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks K0smic, gave that a go, but same again. At least when turned on again, the robot had lost his skateboard. So I tried the gen2 to gen1 v2 stock zip. BINGO! I can now at least get recovery mode. I still want to goto Gen2 and to stirfry Tomorrow...

It's important to do it on your phone using an app like AFV, find the nandroid.md5 file using AFV & 'verify nandroid backup' Did the gen2 to gen1 fail on splash.img too? If all the files on your other tpts md5 check ok & the splash.img didn't fail on the gen2 to gen1, then you could try using that splash.img on the gen1 to gen2 tpts, it's the original in that gen2 to gen1 tpt, i edited it for the gen1 to gen2 tpts.

Guest antiluddite Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi wbaw, I checked the nandroid.md5 file but cannot do that anymore as I'm in CMR. I would rather go forwards to GSF rather than back to a stock ROM. Though any working ROM without OrangeBloatware would be nice tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antiluddite Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 The splash image loaded successfully on gen2 to gen1 Now I've got CMR working, the phone will connect with USB. I've saved a CMR backup on the computer I THINK that the bit that is working is back to Gen 1, though I cannot ask Mr Pigfish anymore. I have tried putting my (functioning) splash.img (from gen2 to gen1 ) in the image folder of gsf-blade-b19-tpt.zip This did not work (same splash.img problem) Though I have not reverified any files. I've gone back with gen2 to Gen1 and can get CMR again. Can I verify files in CMR? YES! Thanks k0smic Next steps - Now USB is up and running, I have successfully used European Gen1 TPT(17MB zip.) I can still use ClockworkMod Recovery which is now v4.0.0.5 Suggestions for next step please. I shall format a new SD card and recharge. I shall download winmd5 so I can check files after mounting THANKS K0smic! Are there any directories, such as clockworkmod and Titanium backup that I should put onto the new SD?

Guest antiluddite Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Freshly downloaded Ginger Stir Fry Beta 19 Gen1 to Gen2 Upgrade TPT Image folder put onto new blank SD Checked with Winmd5 SD put onto switched off Blade (that had previously been able to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery v.4.0.05) Menu /+/power Same result: Freezes at splash.img 85% error! After Gen2 to Gen1 I can now get into CMR 3.0.1.4 Which step of the De-Bricking Guide should I try next? With which ROM? Any ideas what is wrong?
