Guest tommedvedev97 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Hi, I used TPT helper to get into clockwork recovery, once there I couldn't apply the update.zip file. When trying to reboot, my phone automatically boots into Recovery, (although after fiddling around with some settings I did manage to get It not to boot Into recovery, but even then it was just stuck on ZTE logo, which is strange anyway because its usually says Orange) anyway after doing this I though I would try and install a custom ROM just to see if it would work, I tried it with a few custom and a stock ROM as well (I did this by mounting USB storage and moving it across) but there was always an error like cannot find file or something. My overall aim now is to just go back to the stock ROM and use that.Thanks for reading, any help at all will be greatly appreciated. p.s. when I go onto mount and storage I can mount everything but sd-ext, I don't know if this is part of the problem.... also It was unlocked, not sure if it is now after doing all those wipes.

Guest tommedvedev97 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Scroll down the first post and it says Back to Stock And then underneath stock orange tpt I've downloaded, extracted what do I do with the .bin file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) I've downloaded, extracted what do I do with the .bin file? On your SD card create a folder called image and put it in there. Have you checked md5? Says something about it on that thread because if the md5 doesn't match you're phone will literally be a brick. Edit: Open the nandroid.md5 in notepad and paste it into this website it will decrypt it for you. http://www.md5decrypter.co.uk/ Edited March 21, 2012 by razzmataz1478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, delete any image folder that is already on your SD card already. Place the new image folder onto your SD card take your battery out put it back in then power up holding power volume up and menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest razzmataz1478 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) how, no I don't... Have you flashed it? The stock orange tpt contains an image.mbn which itself consists of the orange system.img and boot.img etc and flashes stock layout ... it does not come with clockworkmod or root Edit: If you have flashed it and don't have the rom :s follow the fast boot tutorial on rooting for beginners tutorial. I'm packing in for the night so I'll catch up with you on the morning Edited March 21, 2012 by razzmataz1478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, I read that you wanted to go back to stock, so I gave you the stock orange tpt. You attempted to flash it, but just went straight back into recovery? No weird blue text on the screen before? recovery or anything. And don't worry about the unlock, it's permanent. Make sure the nandroid.md5 is in the image folder with the mbn...

Make sure the nandroid.md5 is in the image folder with the mbn... no nothing like that, its just sitting in its folder.. I think you need to go into more detail with nandroid.md5 stuff, I don't really understand. I don't know if I attempted to flash it because I don't know what it involves.
