Go back into ClockworkMod and wipe cache? Then if that doesn't work maybe wipe data too. (You often need to wipe everything like this when installing a new ROM if it's not directly compatible with the existing one.)

ok ive been messing a bit more got access to the phone loaded another rom needs a battery pull to get it fired up again

ok so wiipe the cache in clockworkmod ?? how ?? via the phone as it is or via shut down restart / vol down (can it be done)

i really apprecite the help and having spend from 8am reading and seaching (im yet to find whats best, ok its makes sense but doesnt go in im sure it will soon)

[Guest Ricey155]

are we talking factory data reset ??

I assume you have run the command

fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img

If you have then you have installed Clockwork to your recovery ROM

To access this turn the phone on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON

Then (with the phone upside down choose the Delete Cache and Factory reset options from the menu

Then use the reboot option

cheers Steven

ok ive wiped the cache with v2.5.1.3

wiped data complete and rebooting

glad you guys are keen to help im not a newbie modder just a newbie to android im gonna crack this and be around for a long time :-)

[Guest Ricey155]

ok done all the wiping and still system timeout kicks in and only the battery pull works to reboot it

is it the clockworkmod im using fouling the system ?? i read something earlier again ive read so much i feel nackered lol mainly as i wont stop till its right 8am only break dinner

enjoying it but get a tadge frustrating

[Guest 5kops]

[Guest Ricey155]

ok like i said ive done plenty of research - go to stevens

http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...and-other-roms/

scroll down and dl the old clockwork gonna see if it works and go from there - back soon with update (linked back to pauls further down page)

[Guest Ricey155]

bugger me head scratching weirdness lol

ok recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.9-modaco-r2-blade.img i downloaded this

and tried to install it with fastboot via my pc, normal 3158kb okey okey theb rebooted still on villians rom - whats gone wrong ??

im all flashed out lol, ive tried installing it on SD card and naming the folder: mcri-system.tar.gz

rebooting phone holding vol down and menu pops up with options

i can not seem to downgrade my clockworkmod - so again im doing something blatently wrong or miss reading something somewhere

think it might be time to shutdown and start again 2morro - get some phone rest

Yes. You have installed clockwork 2.5.0.9

You still get to it by holding down Volume Down on boot.

Right now you are in clockwork go into Mounts and Mount the USB

You should now have a Drive Mounted on your PC

Re-Download the ROM of choice and please make sure the md5sum is correct (this confirms that the download is good and not corrupted)

Now drag that good rom *.zip file onto your SDCard and unmount on the PC, then un-mount on the phone (in clock work)

Now go back to the main menu and Do the Clear Cache AND the Factory Reset

Now Choose the install ZIP, then the Choose ZIp, choose the new ROM *.zip you downloaded

Wait

Choose Reboot.

Did you check the file was good (using md5sum)

Also did you clear he cache and Factory Reset?

Also can you try a BOOT without the SD Card in : it could be broken

[Guest Ricey155]

the modoco rom is fully working and shut down and restarts with out battery pull

appreciate all your time guys who helped

i think the main problem was the cache delete and date etc as modoco stalled before i did it

all good :)
