Guest biron_w Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Any chance we're ever going to get a version of this that works with tft phones? I'm wanting to buy a new san francisco and all new ones are tft and I really want mine to be rooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mrian Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Any chance we're ever going to get a version of this that works with tft phones? I'm wanting to buy a new san francisco and all new ones are tft and I really want mine to be rooted. Hi there just blue tinted my Zte Blade (Best way to learn stuff) And would recommend specifying in the initial message /post that TFT users should use the TFT appropriate ROM. Seeing as only TFT are being produced now many more quick acting slow thinking individuals like my self will follow the instructs and be left with an extra step (unless we want this to happen and increase the general public's knowledge of how things work). Uhnmm, also if we could include the the usb drivers ( for noobs like me) who jump into flashing a new "out of the box phone", and miss this vital step? Anyway great post/topic , everyone very clear and concise/helpful. you guys seriously rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest threewater Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) Yes, the stock ROM is posted in the forum. P I've debranded two San Franciscos and one of them now has a fault (low sound in the earpiece). I presume it's a hardware fault. Is there an idiot's guide as to how I can reinstall the stock Orange ROM before I take it back to Orange? (I'm confused as to which ROM to choose, how to download it etc.) Edit: I found what I needed here: http://android.modaco.com/content-page/318...itchen/page/20/ Edited January 8, 2011 by threewater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marvintheparanoidandroid Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Can anyone tell me if this guide will work for a ZTE Blade with the TFT screen/b08 build? Also, what are the potential pitfalls of the actual rooting process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vinnyutd6899 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 please please someone help me im using windows 7 right im stuck on step 7 From a command prompt (at the directory containing these new files!) run 'fastboot-windows flash boot boot.blade.superboot.mcri.r3.img' (subsituting 'fastboot-mac' or 'sudo fastboot-linux' as required) both the extracted flashboot file and recovery clockwork files are on my desktop, when i open command prompt it says C:\user\sudored> what do i write after that?

Well, you need to find the path to your desktop folder/directory. You need to enter each folder name and follow it with a slash. So let's say it's the Windows 7 default, it's as follows: C:\users\username\desktop It's probably best to change to that directory, so use: cd C:\users\username\desktop (*nix user here, so I'm assuming the cd command works on windows.)

Guest Dynion Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Hello, I´ve been trying to root my blade. But it keeps saying waiting for device. I could understand that since i never installed any drivers, and when i scrolled the pages of the topic i found out you did need some drivers. So i installed them, and my pc recognizes My blade as an apart category called ADB interface. When is put my phone in fastboot mode (Starting with volume up) it stays at the green android guy/robot/something In this case, my computer (windows 7 ultimate 64 bits) Won't recognise my blade. It just calls it android at other devices. after that i searched further in the topic. I found paul uploaded some kind of usb drivers, which lacks any kind of EXE or something i recognise as usable. (I double clicked everything but nothing happened :huh: ) in short: blade won't be recognised when in fastboot mode, and when i root it, it says "waiting for device" anybody who has some well working drivers or another kind of solution? edit: For the posts above me, Try losing the ' ' around the commands. That might work. Edited February 25, 2011 by Dynion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dynion Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Rooting can be done on ANY ROM - and it does not need fastboot or drivers This is the part pulled from my guide http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...and-other-roms/ Rooting your ROM Some ROM's come pre-rooted, if you want ROOT you can always add it after installing the ROM. Rooted means that the Super user program has been installed and added into the system partition of the Phone The program lives in /system/bin/su and has a link in the App Drawer on your phone. ROMs that are rooted have the file and the link, ROOT is used to run programs as Super User, once they have these rights they can Change and Read files that are normally protected from APK's (normal Programs from the Market) When you start an App that requires superuser, superuser will ask you to either Grant or Deny the access. You can ADD Super User (root your device) by downloading and installing a special APK. Info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 http://blog.23corner.com/tag/universalandroot/ http://blog.23corner.com/2010/08/30/univer...ta-5/#more-4077 Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 that one worked Thank you very much :huh: edit: i found out you will need fastboot to use the cyanogen custom rom. If i want to use fastboot, i should need the correct usb driver. or is there a way to use cyanogen (or in my case especially gingerbread) without fastboot?

Guest punch_t Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 :) Hi Paul, You say the phone is straight out of the box. But the SIM card is not installed, does it need to be? I have tried your method but cannot get the android logo to stay put, the phone goes to the orange logo. What am I doing wrong. I have unlocked the phone.
