Guest Sidecar_jon Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 My skate is not booting, it displays the green android man, then just ANDROID and is to all appearances in a coma. Leading up to this situation is. I put on the bluemote rom (very good thanks) but then tried to update to the newer Bluemonte and that must have been a bad install as the camera didn't work so i decided to flash a stock rom to get it back to working. I flashed that (bare ZTE rom) which worked but then i wanted Blue one back so i tried to boot into "clockwork mod" but holding down the vol down just showed the grey FTM square..... then its failed to boot into the rom. I cant get Clockwork on it as the (win7) computer now refuses to read the phone as present on the USB and i tried to install new drivers but the computer now claims that a newer version of the driver is present and wont play ball...it just wont communicate with he phone when its plugged in. I tried (as suggested) Running the install without the USB being "seen" but that didn't work. As i said i'm sure the knowledge is round here somewhere but i've searched and got thoroughly confused. any help much appreciated. The wife now thinks im an idiot for mucking round with my birthday present! And my sons faith in my geekyness is starting to waver!

Guest spigot Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have also problem with adb and "unknown device" on USB (Windows7). I used my 2nd pc (Windows7) and over there it worked. So try another pc or virtual pc and install the driver one more time and try clockwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philmein Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) But how do i get it on the phone?..I need an idiots guide! here the link http://android.modac...from-ztes-site/ download from post 11 make a folder on your desktop name it image in smallcase unzip the contents of the file you downloaded from the link from post 11 into the folder you created called image there should be 2 files inside your folder named image one should be a bin file the other is a md5 file the bin file is the larger of the 2 delete the md5 file ( the smaller one) you should be left with 1 file aproxx 242meg size you should now have a folder called image with one 242meg file inside put the folder image on the sd card it needs to be the root of your sd card ( not inside another folder) turn phone off restart phone pressing power vol+ and menu at the same time theres instructions inside the file you will download from post 11 hope this helps it helped me phil taken from the blade forum Applying a TPT Mount your phone on USB or put the SDCard into a USB card reader.Create a directory called image (lowercase) on the root of the SDcard (not in any other directories on the sdcard)Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the image directory on your SD card(For example: If the drive letter of the SD card is "S:" then extract the content of the ZIP to S:\image)Unmount the SDCard and turn the phone off, remove the battery, put the battery back in.Switch on your phone by holding Menu + volume up + power (hold all three together)Installation will automatically update your firmware, after it the phone restarts (When the updating process starts, you can release the keys) you may or may not see green text here - some users dontAfter booting - remove or rename the image directory on your SDCard or you can accidently re-flash your phone this will take you back to a pure stock orange phone no root or clockwork ideal for warranty returns only take 2 mins to root and install cwm Edited October 11, 2011 by philmein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
