i have the german recovery.
i'll post the link here as soon as it is done uploading

i really need the portuguese one, does anybody have it?

edit: noticed now that the german rom is also missing, i have it too. it will take a bit to upload, but i can do it.

i know that there is a link for the german rom on the zte website, but it is not stable, sometimes fails, so here is a mirror in dropbox which is pretty reliable.

Germany:
ROM: https://www.dropbox....259_germany.zip
Recovery: https://www.dropbox....acqua-stock.img

Maybe, I'm not exactly sure. Sure it'll be easier if someone who has the backup just uploads it.

Hello,

Did anyone lost access to internal storage of an Aqua device a flash?
I've lost mine after flashing with the latest 4.1.2. I cant see the drive trough the windows 7, and can only manage it in the phone itself.

The SD card is showing properly!

Any advice?

Thanks

Wait, what? You have stock Jelly Bean for ZTE Acqua?

I opened this thread for discussion about ZTE Acqua stock ROMs because things got a bit off topic elsewhere. Let's not make the same mistake here.

Advice, ask your questions in the right thread and you might even get a proper answer.

Ahahah,

Sorry for that, i didnt even realise this topic was about stock Roms.
My appologies.

Im moving the topic to the right thread.

Thanks for the advice

Great, but how about uploading it somewhere else. I can't dowload it without signing up first.

[papars]

Here is a temporary link on a friends dropbox.
https://dl.dropbox.c...inal Greek).rar
Please upload somewhere convenient.

Edit: I tested German recovery and ROM and it seems that CM10 has no problem with WiFi after them.  I wonder which partition did the trick....

i have the german recovery and my wifi works..
i wanted to try the portuguese one, because my acqua is tmn branded, but i don't think the wifi would work with it because almost everyone i know that has the portuguese recovery doesn't have wifi.

It's not the recovery. It's something in the actual firmware. EMMCBOOT.MBN, fat.bin, OEMSBL.MBN and qcsbl.mbn are different in every update. It's most likely one of those.

[papars]

fat.bin is a FAT16 200Mb drive image.  It contains a directory named "image" with 2 files in it (AMSS.MBN and AMSSHD.MBN).  AMSS.MBN is different in each country version.

I wonder if is possible to flash the partitions alone using CWM, instead of flashing the original recovery and then the original ROMs and then again CWM and finally CM10.x?

It's quite possible, I doubt there's any difference how ClockWorkMod/stock recovery extract the images. To be honest, I have zero experience in flashing bootloaders etc so I'm not very comfortable with that. There's always a small change that something unexpected can happen to your device.

OK, so AMSS.MBN is the radio firmaware. qcsbl.mbn is probably Qualcomm's bootloader (first and the most important of the bootloaders). OEMSBL.MBN is OEM's bootloader (in this case ZTE's). EMMCBOOT.MBN is eMMC bootloader? Everyhing with 'HD' in filename is a header for the actual firmware. Some of that is pure speculation though. I'm also not sure if you can mix these files from different updates. It's probably better if they're all from the same update if you try flashing them.

Correct, I wouldn't recommend mixing the versions.
What is odd is the need to have a fat partition in the bundle. What kind of magic is this?
"image" directory is used by TPT?

I want to try the slovak version which suppose to be higher than the German one. (maybe because I do not like the medion logo)


P.S.  What if we flash the Blade III versions?  Isn't the hardware identical?

[Di0g0]

Sorry for this stupid question but... I have a backup from the TMN original rom, if I want to flash the original FTM from TMN where I can find him on the backup made by cwm?

Thanks!

/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/year-date.time/recovery.img

That is of course if you did the first backup before you flashed ClockWorkMod to your recovery partition. Could you also upload it somehere? TMN recovery is still missing...
