Guest ficosaneil Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 The fastboot file is a winzip file, should I be extracting the contents of this to a 'normal folder and then sticking the clockwork img in there too, or should I stick the clockwork img file into the fastboot.zip file, stick that in a 'normal' folder and then launch the command prompt from the folder?

Guest Synbian Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Many thanks again to everyone on here and all the hard work. I have a question: I can't seem to get fastboot to do anything and I don't know why. I'm trying to wipe the phone to an almost 'as new' state but commands like 'fastboot-windows erase system' etc always result in an error like the one listed below when trying to install this clockworkmod recovery. Is it me? the phone? my pc? Anyone know of anyway to stop the errors? I have rooted with r3 Superboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry W Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Hi, I'm a newbie and finding my way around. Picked up a San Fran today and keen to wipe the Orange branding, root and load r4 mod. So I noticed ClockworkMod Recovery was needed. So I tried to flash it but it hung at "waiting for device", so I installed the drivers(!) but now my SanFran will not boot to the Green Android. Instead, when I hold the Vol+ and power up, it boots normally!? Wonder if I should have loaded r3 first before trying ClockworkMod Recovery? Help please. Cheers Terry.

Guest kidkhaos Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 how do remove clockwork mod? found my own answer, but just for any1 else who may get get stuck. Download the second link ( the one with stock boot / recovery images) from http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...online-kitchen/. Unzip the files into the same dir as fastboot, then do the same as you did when you flashed the clockworkmod but this time use the recovery image. so you would use cd to get to the dir with fastboot and the recovery image, then use the command "fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery.blade.stock.img" (for windows).

Guest bellerox Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hello everyone! I have just registered and this is my first total newbee question :-) I'm from germany and not native english speaker, so please be nice to my sentence strukture. In the first post ( oh ... just wanna say... GREAT JOB! i hear from the Phone in Germany because of this Forum and his good Roms and support) Ok .. In the first post :-) Paul says: 1. Download 2.5.0/9 r2 ClockworkMod Recovery for ZTE Blade - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid Load Balancing) - MD5: d7664757ec3d4862cc408b7304e4df8f 2. Download fastboot if you do not have it already. Do I Have to download to my computer or to the SD Card of the Phone? In one Reply someone says c: , but i am not sure if this really means to the PC :-) 3. Turn off your phone and take out the battery. Unplug the phone from the PC / charger. Should it be pluged to the Computer when i Download the files? makes no sense to me, sorry :-( Just would make sense when the files should be moved to SD Card ? 4. Replace the battery and turn the phone back on with 'volume up' held. The device will stay at the 'green android' screen. 5. Plug the phone into the PC. 6. Extract the fastboot zip file. Should be possible! - even for me ... 7. From a command prompt (at the directory containing these new files!) run 'fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img' (subsituting 'fastboot-mac' or 'sudo fastboot-linux' as required) If these files where on c: Do I have to start the command Prompt and just write "c> run 'fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img'" ??? 8. When this finishes, from the command prompt run 'fastboot-windows reboot' (again substituting 'fastboot-mac' or 'sudo fastboot-linux' as required) "c> run 'fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img'" ??? 9. Done! there is a long way ... for me :) And final question ( for the moment) : Does this mean the Phone was rooted? Do i need Phone drivers for the Phone (Vista) before i start? thank you all for answering! i hope that questions are not so much annoying. Sorry!

Guest tronads Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I currently have rom r3 on my phone using the mcri install method. It seems if I want to try r4 or the froyo rom I am going to have to update to clockwork recovery. I don't think I will have any problems installing it, but I'm a bit confused about the reference to the upside down screen I have read. Is the screen just upside down on bootup or recovery modes, or is it going to be permanatly upside down if I install clockwork recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
