*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.

I have flashed my Vivacity with your CWM recovery however I can't select anything due to only my volume and power button keys working. The cheat menu doesn't make things any better, it just disables the power button.

So I was thinking a solution might be for me to modify the CWM recovery source code so that perhaps the volume down key moves through the menus and the volume up key selects items. I know I can get the sourcecode from koush's Github page and I'm happy to have a go at compiling it myself. I was just wondering what modifications you made to the code to get it to work with the ZTE Crescent? Also do you think this is a crazy idea just to get my phone to work?

Hope you don't mind me asking this, just really keen to get my phone working and at first glance CWM recovery source doesn't look too bad... maybe....


EDIT


I just found your source including the device_handle_key method in recovery_ui.c. I guess I should just be able to change the case KEY_VOLUMEUP to return SELECT_ITEM rather than HIGHLIGHT_UP and it'll do what I'm after? Another question I have is regarding your KEY_SLEEP case, why does the first if statement have {} around the returning function but the second if statement doesn't? I have to say my C is pretty rusty (or non existent) being more of a python / vb.net / fortran (at a push) coder at times.


Anyway, any comment would be great!

Ah I got it working. Think I must have clockwork mod installed in two places, although they look the same. If I let the phone boot normally its the old version that doesn't work. If I hold down the volume down on power on I got into the updated version with bright screen, capacitive buttons and most of all actually working. Hopefully installing rom will work...

It did, everything working nicely and unlocked. Thank you so much for your work on this phone.

Hi can you still get to clockwork after you have installed your rom by holding down the volume - key? , once my rom was installed i cant get back to clockwork  is it possible to have clockwork installed permanently and be able to boot to it on the phone by holding down the volume- after the rom is installed. ?. If this is possible to do can you tell me how it is done.
Thanks.

did you try rebooting your machine with the device still plugged in?

Nope, I did not reboot my machine.
Should i go ahead and try the procedure posted by woodywoodpecker ?? Does that work .. Looks like a much easier way.

Tried almost everything ... Still unable to install CWM recovery
HELP

[Reider59]

With the very greatest of respect you should have let Raverrr help you. He is the one who made the Fish n Chips ROM you intend using.  His help and experience would be invaluable to get the CWM on.  It can be a trying time, for some it just works.  For others they get driver problems mostly, some use another computer, others have to trick Windows into using the drivers-hence rebooting the phone while connected.  Some have to delete a folder Windows adds, the OS is perhaps one of the most maddening aspects in all this, it seems to use a different approach each time.  Once you get CWM on though the problems are usually over.  For me now I either boot with the Vol down key pressed or if feeling lazy I use the ROM Manager I downloaded, but that will only work after CWM is installed.

Some notes to bear in mind if you do try the other method.  It wasn`t tested fully on the Vivacity or the SFII because he hasn`t got that model.  It's according to that page and roughly his words, the most dangerous way to do it and if you have other choices then use them.  Finally, if you are going to chance it one thing I didn`t see stated was you need to change the name of the file to update.zip  If you do not then how is the system going to find it when its looking for update.zip and it's called SF2-4.0.1.5-TPT?  Oh and one last thing, do not unzip it at all.

Dear sebastian404.

I have a big problem with my ZTE joe. (V871)

I tried to install a clockworkmod_recovery_4.0.1.5-joe.img and I followed the steps published by yourself in one of this forums. My ZTE-V871 never showed the recovery console (only a white screen with a black FTM message), and I installed via fastboot and recovery manager the clockwork mentioned before. In both cases installed procedure was successfully but the problem persists. My cell is blocked with ZTE splash screen everytime I try to start the clockwork (I used to do that with key combinations and recovery manager option too).
Those procedures erase my default recovery partition and I can’t restart my phone with factory default option (wipe user data/factory-reset)

My cellphone data are:
ZTE-V871 and was bought in Germany, it have a Froyo Android 2.2
When I connect it via USB and make adb devices, adb shows this message P727A devices

Please could you help me ?
