I would certainly recommend giving this TPT a try.....

what do you have to lose???

Make sure the contents of the Gen 2 Zip you downloaded are in an image folder/directory on your SD card.....

it will probably unzip the image folder

You should have an image folder which has "image.bin" file in it on your SD card root....

like say SD Card is h:/ on PC.....

image folder is h:/image

The image.bin file is contained in that folder......

You apply the Gen 2 image from boot....

use [Power] + [Vol-Up] + [Menu]

(sorry I left Menu out in my previous post)

When finished successfully.......make sure to delete image folder on SD.....

just in case you do it again!!!!

ok man tnk

[ZTE BLADE07]

I put the image folder in to the SD card and i turn on the phone with menu+vol+ and is show to me UPdate from t-flash  card!then bellow it's show me 11"error"
What can i do????

[irishpancake]

You do everything here in the  instructions:

How to install:

Copy the zip to the root of your sdcard and check the md5sum matches above. Unzip the file to the root of your sdcard. You should end up with a folder called "image" with the image.bin file inside it. Check the md5sum of the image.bin matches the md5 given in the nandroid.md5 file. Turn your phone off. Once its off completely, turn it back on holding menu and vol+. You should see green text on the screen, then once its finished it should boot into recovery. You may (or may not) see an error message just before this finishes. This happened when sm4tik tested it, but the TPT still worked fine. If I can find out why this is happening I'll try and fix it. Once in recovery, do a factory reset then install your chosen rom. Remember to remove the image directory once you're finished to avoid reflashing the TPT by accident.


It says you may see Error....but if it succeed....you should get into Recovery.....

Can You?? Get into recovery??

Did you check Md5's on zip and image.bin??

Most important.....it is in the instructions above.

ok man tnk for your advices and sorry for your lost time

It should be possible to recover from this reasonably easily. Just in case there has been any misunderstanding, Try BOTH the Gen2 and Gen1 TPT's se[erately from my unbricking guide (it doesn't hurt to try the wrong one): http://android.modac...ng-a-zte-blade/. If either of them works, you're back in business. You need to remove the battery and then hold down menu and volume up as you turn on the phone. If you need to buy a SD to micro SD adapter to access the card then do it, its cheap. Failing that, There's no point not trying method 5 for fear if you can't otherwise fix it. A TPT should work though - post details of any errors you get. In the case of USB connectons problems, uninstall, reboot, and reinstall the zte blade drivers in case windows is the problem.

[irishpancake]

ZTE Blade07......

You would be crazy not to follow Hedgepigdaniel's really good advice

.....the man is a legend and knows his stuff

Do try doth Gen1 and 2 Euro TPT's...

As Hpd says, you can do no harm, but could do a lot of good!!!

One never knows, and Pigfish only tells current partition.... AFAIK

Hpd!!!!

Do you know that inputting Hpd delaults to God on my Kb

You knew this, right!!

Friend.....Hpd also says in the thread:

"If it doesn't work, then using a different SD card may help. If you have a European variant then it is safe to try both Gen1 and Gen2 TPTs separately in case you have made a mistake."

I would d/l both Gen1 and 2 TPT's from that thread......

try both, maybe 1 first, as the Gen2  you tried already failed....

Again, nothing to lose......

I think HPD has also linked ZTE drivers???

I would only worry about drivers when you succeed with TPT!!!

Best of luck.

It is weird that your problem persists with another sdcard. I would recommend that for once last time you double check that your download is not corrupted. Check MD5 sums. and try with another sdcard.

The script is designed so that even if everything goes totally wrong then you should still be able to do another tpt to fix it.

Well, if it still does not work, you have two more lifelines: fastboot and windows flashing tool.

For fastboot, I am not quite sure if your device has been partitioned with the TPT script or your FS is stuck somewhere in between. Anyway, here is what i suggest:

*Get USB drivers for fastboot mode. (If you cant find, I will try to look for you. But later)
*Boot your blade into bootloader mode. (Remove the dir named 'image' from sdcard, and boot with vol(+) key pressed. Device should stop at green android. That is your bootloader)
*Using fastboot, try to flash boot.img and recovery.img.

Since we are not sure if you are GEN1 or GEN2, try both, and try to boot into CWM after that.
Good luck with that.

Otherwise,
try the windows flashing tool. It wont try to try, as you have got nothing to lose.


EDIT: I just read this thread. HPD has already suggested you this link:
http://android.modac...ng-a-zte-blade/
The fastboot method I mention is better described there.
