Guest Dukelord Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) So I had issues with my last Skate and I messed up the sound. Installed clockwork mod and superboot and sound got lost. Was able to see a guy who said he could fix it and liked it and sold it for a slightly lower price. Got a new one today. Want to start over again but need to be careful this time. Interested in gaming on it. Considering bluemonte and cyanogen. Need detailed steps so I dont make mistakes again. It is brand new, unopened & unlocked. I want to back up the default rom and whatever else needs backing up first. Please advice. Thanks folks.

Guest Frankish Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't understand how you possibly messed up the sound? Flash superboot. Backup rom with cwm recovery. Wipe data, cache etc. Install rom zip. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dukelord Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 please see my previous thread on the issue here (http://android.modaco.com/topic/348827-problem-with-zte-skate/ ) I am thinking of first installing clockworkmod, backup my default rom and then install bluemonte. I am thinking of avoiding superboot all together. Do I really need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dibbles Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 I avoided using Superboot at all as I knew that I was going to install a custom ROM. As they are rooted then using Superboot serves no purpose and just potentially adds another thing in the to do list which is not necessary. If I was using a STD ROM then it would need to be rooted.

So you advice that I just install only Clockwork recovery mod before I backup my default rom with it and then install bluemonte 1.8d? No need to install superboot right? What version of clockwork recovery mod should I use this time. My default android on the skate is 2.3.4. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Amphoras Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 So you advice that I just install only Clockwork recovery mod before I backup my default rom with it and then install bluemonte 1.8d?

Just follow the instructions here to install recovery. If you then make a backup, it should backup your original boot image as well. Then you can flash whatever rom you want.

Guest dibbles Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 (edited) The first thing that I did was to follow the unlocking procedure in this thread... ... the very last step notes... Go to “POST-UNLOCK FOLDER” and run the bat file again – this installs ClockworkMod so for me it unlocked my phone and then installed the CWM (latest one) for me to use. I then went into CWM to backup the ROM before I then installed a custom ROM which then rooted the phone due to the ROM. There is NO need to install Superboot if you are using custom ROM. The unlock process needs to be followed EXACTLY. I would add to the steps... 7a - Place the battery back into the phone or it will boot loop and not back up the QCN file.

My skate is already unlocked. Not attached to any operator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
