Guest hecatae Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) thanks to this update here: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...r-chinese-v880/ and hedgepigdaniels work here http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...howtopic=342403 I'm now running 2.2.2 on my blade with the china unicom amss.mbn fully working. actual rom name is UNI_CN_P729CUV1.0.0B14, froyo release 2.2.2. still working through this, but it looks ideal for someone to make a froyo rom on a stock rom with a build date of 24th June 2011 here's the bad news, china unicom amss.mbn does not enable HSUPA, cant test other frequencies like 850 as not available in uk. downgraded back to gen1 and kept imei, chinese amss.mbn also deactivates 256mb ram so no point using. romdump of it is here http://www.multiupload.com/SM85UI9PWD there is no android market in the rom, and the libs need changing to work with european blades, and the stock launcher is to MIUI for my tastes Edited June 29, 2011 by hecatae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 ok, so, I really wanna try the 850 MHz frequency. currently running Cyanogen Green v5 with wbaw's GEN 2 TPT v7b. what needs to be done to turn MY blade to v880 with network? and how can I reverse everything in case I need to?

Guest hecatae Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 grab this China Unicom B14 (28/06/2011 - image.bin update) from hedgepigdaniels thread here http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...mware-packages/ boot blade in FTM and flash, then test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wbaw Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's appsboot.mbn which limits the ram to 256mb. you could probably use one from a european gen2 update (but not from my tpt with the modified partition sizes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question wbaw what do you use to recompress a ROM? I always get errors with the default mac archive:S Edited June 30, 2011 by ThermalDroid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 hecatae should I revert to Gen 1 before applying this? this essentially upgrades my phone to Gen 2 using the Windows Method = permanent Gen 2, right? it means I can't revert to Gen 1 unless using the way described in the windows flashing method topic?

Guest hecatae Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 thats correct, I would revert to gen1 first before trying this, you can revert to gen1 after the gen2 windows flash following hedgepigdaniels sticky at the top of this forum.

Guest shmizan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 ok testing is done. 3G 850 MHz is NOT available using the Chinese amss.mbn I guess that means 3G 850 MHz isn't available at all. not in the Chinese or any other firmware. this is really strange since it DOES say it supports it in the phone specs, but we have tried every single amss.mbn out there (Chinese + all european) and none provide it. what do you think?

I think the supposedly enabled band is 2G(GSM) only, NOT 3G(UMTS) so can you test that as well? Edited July 1, 2011 by KACE_231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 why would you think that? in ZTE's website, the info on the v880 model says "UMTS 850(900), 2100" = 3G I have no way to check 2G 850 MHz. but enabling that was never a problem. single NV item that can be changed in any firmware..

Guest shmizan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 we've covered the entire Software front. I see no other option but a Hardware difference. any thoughts? also, hecatae, how did you get hsUpa a few months back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k0zmic Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 also, hecatae, how did you get hsUpa a few months back? I think HSUPA was enabled as part of the Gen 2 Radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shmizan Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 no. it wasn't enabled in none of the TPT versions by wbaw and not by the windows flashing method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
