Guest Phaleg Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) Hi to all and sorry for that, because I know it is not the best way to introduce myself... I got today by post a Zte blade from UK, unlocked and with cianogenmod 7 inside... my pc with win7 was able to detect it install drivers, but not able to see inside it like I do with a Nokia, (storage disk, you plug the phone and you can use it to move files from pc to phone and the opposite) I thought it was not enough updated and I tried to install the newer version of cianogen mod, got the file for blade and put it in SD, then installed with RomManager, backing up old one and no wipe data and cache (not sure, I guess not) after a while, it backed up and installed the new one, and then just making black screen and then android logo a lot of times I thought it was for battery that was over 33% and plugged charge from the wall, not from pc same condition, then stopped to make black screen and logo I tried to put the old 2GB SD back, (since I got the phone I moved all files from 2GB SD to a new one 8GB class10 and then installed apps, got contacts and sms, all fine) but no difference What can I do? Is it broken or bricked forever? Is there a way to go back? Please help me, it is the first time I break something new Thanks L. PS: I read that you can turn up the phone in recovery and try to recover the mess, but how can I? If I do it, which ROM will be back? Will it be simlock then?

Guest Phaleg Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Actually I can enter in recovery mode pressing Vol (-) + home + power and my phone is Gen1... I would like to put back the Cianogen mod 7 that was previous in the phone and that I backed up during me trying to update with Rom Manager... Any help?

Guest wrtease Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 im on gen1 and i use volume down with power to get in to clockwork recovery. you should be able to find in the menu backup and restore .chose restore .if theirs more than 1 backup then you can chose any 1 .then let it finnish restore and reboot into phone screen and see what youve got. if not then repeat with other restore backup. and reboot .always give your phone at least 5 mins to get into main screen .not any longer.

Guest CrazyXBMax Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 You cannot install new cyanogenmod on a gen 1 device. That is the problem which you called bricking because the rom will not run on gen1. Try to uprgrade yours to gen2 or use another rom like Swedish Spring.

Put rom 7.0.3.zip and converter in the SD turn on the mobile in recovery install cm 7.0.3 from recovery do not reboot (does not reboot by itself??) use the converter (how can I use it from recovery?) then reboot right?

Guest mrTau Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 What I have learned, in my thread that your NOT supposed to use Rom manager on a gen 1 phone... "I would like to put back the Cianogen mod 7 that was previous in the phone and that I backed up during me trying to update with Rom Manager..." I updated my gen 1 phone yesterday with swedish spring, and it took me some time, maybe 1 hour or so (first time doing it) but after then its magic :unsure: Mrtau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I think I am ready with mind to do this! About converter option, is this one? = http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...ersal-converter ? If yes, I see from rom manager that my recovery mode is 3.0.1.4 and it should seem ok according to that guide (I know that I have to install from recovery mode and not from rom manager!!!) And about order of actions, should I use option I of updating to gen II after or before installing CM703? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And about order of actions, should I use option I of updating to gen II after or before installing CM703? I forgot, should I keep the converter in zip format (like the update) or should I extract it? Should I take the normal one or the one with overclock?

Guest Phaleg Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I did in this way: backup of rom (in recovery through rom manager) , contacts and sms, then with recovery mode : - gen I to II converter, directly from zip: cm7_universal_converter_20110426.zip MD5: 4BDE6036C134873A697187B79255842A - WIPE Data, cache and factory reset - CM7.03 directly from zip reboot, and it was not working, so I tried the same converter again and it was fine ^^ PS: Mr pigfish, always says that I have gen I blade :P but my Blade is still 512MB ram (it shows 416 in system info) Edited May 22, 2011 by Phaleg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
