*MY* build of Koush's ClockworkMod Recovery for the Orange San Francisco II/T-Mobile Vivacity/ZTE Blade2.

I have tested it as much as I can, but I'm always open to any more constructive feedback.

It is not officially supported by Koush, please do not bother him with support questions for this build.

Koush seems not to publish a traditional change log, however you can see the project's commit history for details

[RECOVERY] : ClockworkMod Recovery for ZTE Blade 2

NOTE: Currently the only way to install ClockworkMod Recovery is via the fastboot method, instructions can be found by following the above link.

[Sebastian404]

before anyone asks, yes its works on both the San Francisco 2 & the Vivacity.

Wow! Well done @Sebastian404! That was mega fast!

[The Soup Thief]

I gather its through adb and fastboot.

after running reboot bootloader command the device is aparently not connected :S
"fastboot is not a recognised command" even tho i have fastboot ready in icon tray :S

This might be a stupid point, but don't different devices have different fastboots? So if you are trying to use the blade's one it might not work.

But I'm probably wrong.

Got the Zte drivers installed?

Trying to remember the last time I used fastboot...

[ian_blade2]

the command is fastboot-windows.exe  just thought id add have u read through the rest in sebastians guide thx ian.

what's-a-matter? your eyes not working

yeah, good point, I'll look into that one

EDIT:

LCD Backlight is fixed.. keypad is tricky, seem the kernel source is missing part of the keypad drivers....

Another thing ZTE missed from the source release? They are on a roll!  

[Sebastian404]

ok, I've added a couple of fixes, so the screen and keypad are now at maximum brightness..

LOL, cheat menu worked - thanks Seb.

Buttons now light up but capacitive keys still dont work, my only guess is myabe my TMV has different firmware or source? (Since I've only had it 2 days).

Cheers

Might be better to use a stock Vivacity kernel for recovery as this supports both devices without any issues. The ZTE source is really buggy for blade2 devices

I have replaced the kernel with stock vivacity but the volume rocker doesn't work. Everything else does though.. easy fix?

Im testing it on my Vivacity primarily over the San Francisco II.... it works fine for me, and others here....


I wonder if they have done the old Blade trick of changing parts, if you dial *983*24474636#  what does it say under LCD Information?

My Vivacity is Truly screen with atmel touch controller.

Looks like some may have truly screen with synaptics, or even LEAD with atmel controller.

Damn you ZTE.. stop using different parts!

[admanirv]

Yup, I was reading about zte and Samsung said the only company that bothers them are zte due to fact they make phones so damn cheap, so it's no surprise they fit what they have in stock or what is cheapest at the time.
