New Hungarian Blade - again...

[Guest 90180360]

So when I'm going to a T-Mobile shop, how do I know if I'm getting one with 256 MB or 512 MB?

hmm, since they both have the same display build ID (TM_P729TV1.0.0B02) you cant tell from looking at the about device page...

I assume they might be a different product code on the box, like there is with the Orange ones......

Not sure if this is a good idea considering the (semi) DOS attack Im having, but I uploaded a recovery zip here:

http://android.podtwo.com/roms/stock/TM_P7...date_signed.zip

I've used the INTERNAL version numbers to differentiate, the B05 version in the same directory is the older version, tho they both claim to be B02 from the DISPLAY version number..... nothing to make life simple..

Easier:

Go to the Taskmanager app, Resources page, and at the bottom, it tells you the total RAM amount. If it is around 160MB, it is a 256MB version. If it is around 414MB, then you got the 512MB version.

WARNING! Do not check the FREE RAM, but TOTAL RAM!

There is that, but you have to open the box and turn it on to find that out :)

Well yes, but most carriers lets you to test the device before accepting it!

Just as a note...

I forgot to check last night in my rush to build a recovery zip, but the recovery partition on that dump is clockwork mod....

It would be GREAT if someone could dump the recovery partition of an unmolested device....

Tomorrow I am going to swap my device, and if you can point me to a proper dump binary (tried koush's version, and some other, none worked), I would be glad to root, dump, and upload it for you.

BTW, isn't boot.img enough for creating CWM? Also I guess the recovery is almost the same (but with the proper 512MB memory mapping).

no need to root it, it comes with its own root escalation exploit, the less you do to the phone before you run it the better infact.

Its not so much about creating CWM, more about having the 'correct' version of the recovery.img

[Guest markusj]

I've got my new blade, w/ 512 Mb RAM.

In the first store (Mammut) they didn't swap it for me, no threatening with consumer protection worked.

I've got a tip, in the Europark T-pont they swap my device.

The service man told me he can only swap it if it has a problem.

I mentioned the greyscale and the pixel errors and the screen vibrating thing, and he swapped it!

Also, my new blade has no grescale problem. I was kinda hoping that it's an OLED one, but not ;)

It appears that I don't need to dump my ROM, so I'll flash cwm+FF ASAP :)

ad:

What the heck,

Baseband version

TM_P729TV1.0.0B01

Kernel version

Bulid (sic!)

TM_P729TV1.0.0B02

That's neither the old, nor the new one.

WAIT!!!!

We do need a recovery partition, if you could dump it and just upload the recovery.img file somewhere.....

Hahaha, I knew that I shouldn't do anything so fast :)

Check my update for my previous post, might be interesting.

if you read back, its the INTERNAL build id you should look at, its changed somewhat...

Hi!

Here you can find a recovery.img from a virgin 512M Hungarian ZTE Blade:

It looks like I've got nothing to do then.

I've got some problems with adb, so it's OK :)

az alabbi post egy igaz tortenetet dolgoz fel:

szoval en is megkaptam az elso szerias kiraly 256MB ramos keszuleket amirol mar az elso percben tudtam nyilvan, hogy "szar" viszont ma volt idom bemenni csereltetni (plusz lattam forumon, hogy jott uj persze) elso ut a westendbe ahol megmondtam mi a problemam, 512 -nek van hirdetve viszont ez cska 256, erre jott a szervizes, hogy ismert problema a telefonnal es, hogy kicsereli, mert ezt nem lehet javitani.

sajnos itt nem jartam sikerrel, mert mar nem volt nekik raktaron viszont megnezte, hogy a 11kerbe az eromunel van valami T-pont es ott van meg 4db, atmentem oda es nagyon keszsegesen 1 szo nelkul kicsereltek.

gondolkodtam rajta, hogy osszehazudom a holnapot is, hogy ez meg az szar (egyebkent a ramon kivul a keszuleknek semmi baja nincs) de vegul igy is kijottem jol, hogy elmondtam ami valojaban a problemam.

ugyhogy hajra meg maradt 4db ugyhogy lehet csereltetni :>

That binary drops me out with an access denied message, even in su mode. I can do nothing with it :S

[Guest martea]

And what are you telling them, why you want to swap? I don't think they will just simply swap it because there's a new model I'm afraid.

BUT, restoring stock rom, accessing system drive and changing hw_ui value in build.prop to 1 would do the job (actually, it will cause screen problems after restart, so you got a stock rom, while you have a buggy phone).

How you do this? I pulled build.prop from the stock rom, opened in editor, but can't find hw_ui

update: Found it, it really works

I hope that the man at the service won't do a factory reset to solve the problem! (Does it solve it?)

It won't, as it is on the /system partition -> data wipe can't remove it. Only way to do so is to flash a new/the same ROM: but apparently, T-Mobile HU has no proper device(s) to apply a new update. At least, when the guy at the T-Point asked me what do I know about updates implied this to me.

Thanks Benoe :)

[Guest markusj]

Triple damn and an extra damn, I dumped my ROM, I started uploading it, it took 1h to get it to 90%, and I closed the tab...

Well, Benoe has already posted a recovery.img, so I won't upload it again :)

when did you download the file, there was a bug in the 'old' version that stopped it working from the terminal, it should of been fixed in the current version tho...

if you have got SU working, try the following

chmod 04755 /system/bin/romdump

and then try it.

Okay then, tomorrow I'm going to swap it, based on this: (sorry, hungarian):

[language=Hungarian]

Ma megtudtam, hogy a ZTE gyártó Magyarországra 512 MB-os Bladeket szánt. Tehát, akinek 256 MB-os Blade-je van, az GYÁRI HIBÁS és egyből cserélik!

Ezt nekem a szervizes srác mondta, aki felhívta a gyártót, mert valaki épp reklamált neki, hogy cseréljék ki. Tehát mindenki, akinek 256 MB-os Blade-je van, cserélje ki nyugodtan ezzel az indokkal!

[/language]

Rough translate:

Today I was informed that ZTE dedicated to Hungary the 512MB RAM model Blade. So, who got a 256MB version, it is FACTORY DEFECT, and it should be swapped inmediately!

I was told by a service guy who called ZTE Hungary, because someone was complaining about it, and to swap it. So, anybody, who got such version, can swap it!

And also, some reviews and experiences with the new model:

- More RAM (512MB instead of 256)

- At some places, many screen defects (9 of 10 had pixel problems, and vibrating screen, but other places had 10/10 faultless devices)

- The screen is a bit different, has warmer colors

I will write my own experiences tomorrow!

Kíváncsi vagyok hogy neked sikerült-e, egy srácnak ezzel dobták vissza (Miskolcon):
