Guest Stephen J. Knill Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I changed the permissions in init.rc, pushed the file to the phone, sync than reboot and got the same file than before, any idea? :S Really anoying, The init.rc file is part of the ramdisk image, so you'll need to crack it open again... edit the file and repack, push onto phone and flash it to make changes stick. (sync only really works on the /system and /data) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen J. Knill Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 ...any idea to execute a line on boot without this files? Yep, put a script in /system/etc/init.d and chmod 755 they will be run after the init.rc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only multiDL work, and I haven't got firmware :S any idea how can I get mbd files for my device? totaly bricked To flash this russian firmware after update recovery and flash my 2.2 will work or I can put to the trash? There is no firmware available to this device in public. What is bootloader key config? vol down + power = download mode :S Edited March 19, 2011 by Biti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(After you rip the battery out for a few secs) -- It should do still, unless something really freaky has happened. And without some kind of access to the device such as with adb, fastboot-windows or CM recovery mode... there isn't really any way of re-flashing the device (since there are no design schematics out, there are no hard cable methods) -- Any firmware from an IDENTICAL device will work, but it must be from one of the new v9's (the older versions will just boot loop also) Edited March 19, 2011 by Stephen J.

Sebastian404 maybe have some infos about this. But with old firmware maybe I can get into recovery and reflash my original ROM, or It's possible to change the img files in flashable BEELINE_V9V100B08and reflash that way?

Guest Sebastian404 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 There is a guy on the Blade Forum with an X880 who installed the TPT for the Blade onto his device, and he seems to of totaly screwed that up... the Theory is that the content of the hidden partition controls the base address for the kernel, but from the evidence so far maybe not. It would seem that ZTE have changed some things in the new devices tho that means its not as easy to get into FTM mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see the device listed when you run "adb devices" or the "fastboot-windows devices" commands, try unpluging the cable and pluging back in (I know it sounds weird, but I've had the device not show after a boot fail before... and replugging it in solved that part, it atleast allowed be to use the "adb reboot recovery" recovery or bootloader as both will enable flashing ... I just kept spaming the command till my device finally rebooted lol) An older firmware version MAY work, but then it's just as likely to brick the device also... so I can not advise that. And I thought you'r rom dump was the TELENOR_V9V1.0.0B01.ZIP? I'm not really sure how the DFU mode works as I've only seen this on iPhones before (and damn do they suck or what!), but then I was able to recover the iPhone using the iTunes app still... so it was still "booting", just not actually loading all the OS crap that was damaged. -- If you can't get ANY kind of shell access to it, I really don't know... hopefully Sebastian404 might.

Guest Sebastian404 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was going to mention the same thing, since I 'updated' to the latest drivers, when I reboot any ZTE device I have to disconnect and reconnect the USB before my PC will recognize it...

Guest Biti Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I'm a bit lost, what did you do to get it into this state? downloaded m2.zip, replaced img files to my original ones and reflashed with phone flasher. All of this after I flashed new boot.img with fastboot and phone not booted restarted every seconds and the only thing what could I get was this Dowload state.

Guest Stephen J. Knill Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) I'm a bit lost, what did you do to get it into this state? He uploaded and flashed a modified boot.img (to change the init.rc file), which somehow caused the device to boot loop. Upon trying to re-flash with his own dumped the M2 images... this is the result. The exact proccess is a bit elusive to me, as I thought he didn't have shell access... so it must have been using the multiDL thingie he mentioned before (nope, ain't seen that one yet lol) Edited March 19, 2011 by Stephen J.

Guest Stephen J. Knill Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) One other thing I'd like to know... has anyone been able to actually have the WiFi stay on when screen locks and it's not plugged into charger? (Optus myTab specificly, and don't go pointing me to the Advanced WiFi settings... that was the first thing I tried lol, it's been set to "Never" ever since I brought the device... but still it keeps turning off, and none of the WiFi Lock apps from market have been able to keep it on. And it looks like Sebastian merged an Optus and Life rom, as several other aspects of the Optus rom have been removed from his version. Shame, I was hoping it would indicate where I can re-enable the full screen rotation again (Hate the lock screen, apps list and "desktop" being stuck in landscape) Edited March 19, 2011 by Stephen J.

Guest Biti Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 The problem started with modded boot image, I just changed the su permissions in init.rc to 4755 from 4550 and checked the crc, but phone not rebooted :S After I flashed the original img files hrought this m2.zip in phone flasher, reboot and totaly deliquescent screen. USB Device cannot recognized message, no vol up or/and down + power works, I try to change it back for a new one and I believe that the service don't notice my tricks. Anyway I found the way how to root the new devices just need to do it safety :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I found the way how to root the new devices just need to do it safety :S My first v9 I totally bricked by flashing a Blade 2.2 boot image onto it (I didn't really read the forums, or think about it much for that matter lol... just found it and slaped it on, I didn't even put recovery image or anything on first... just the boot, lol). I took that back and they sent it off to the service center to be repaired... 2 weeks latter I got a new device, seems they couldn't even figger out what I'd done :s So there is always the chance it will get replaced, first thing I did when I got the replacement was to put Sebastian404's recovery image onto it. Since then, I've moded pretty much every image file (besides recovery lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alpha xs Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I confirm when in ftm mode, untill now the options is tech support, since no one seems to have or found a usable firmware flasher/or drivers to use the device once it goes FTM. If there´s a workaround post a tut i shure many out there would apreciated that! Edited March 20, 2011 by alpha xs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sebastian404 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I should point out that the interesting thing about this new 2.2 kernel is that where the blades 2.2 kernel only included references to the blade, the shipped kernel includes references to ALL of zte's line up, the Blade, the Racer, etc.. So it looks like ZTE have gone and back ported the kernel to all of their older devices, we have already seen the 2.2 update for the Racer, and some Chinese maniacs have managed use hacked up blade kernel to boot it, so I wonder if we will see more 2.2 for other ZTE legacy devices. I was wondering if the earthquake in Japan has affected ZTE, I know they held a press conference on Friday morning in London, talking of the Skate and V9+/V12 and their lack of faith in a Windows7 phone. But they have not responded to the mailing list, where in the past they where very good at that. It took quite a lot of pestering to get them to put out a working Blade Kernel, and infact I have 5 different archives of what they put out, of which only the last one will build, and even then we need to fix some typos in it. You can use the same Source to build a kernel for the Racer but the Camera wont work, and the Joe, but the touch screen wont work correctly.... Lets just hope they have improved their version control practices Edited March 20, 2011 by Sebastian404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gaz14 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Just downloaded the romdump (slow connection today). I´ve seen that thesytem is not in a img format and the gx file is giiving error, gonna try to download again.. Still if anyone is in a fast connection give this a try: use boot.img form the original device (2.1 version) use sebastian407 recovery image and the 2.2 system image (a new dump with the correct img format would be needed or then just cook one form the gz if it extracts, to do so you need linux and a kitchen any wiill do since you will need to do no changes just to pack the files) (i´ve tried this "before" and it booted, and when i mean before de 2.2 i used was chinese blade's 2.2) Yeah it booted, but touchscreen was all over the place and had a few FCs, but was able to restore my backup through recovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
