[RECOVERY] : ClockworkMod Recovery for ZTE Blade [OLED+TFT]

[Guest paskaapaskaa]

Or download the update.zip of 2.5.1.8 and use 3.0.0.5 to install that....

Ok thanks, that makes it a lot easier. How about the backups i've done with 3.0.0.5 (or the earlier version I had before updating to 3.0.0.5). Can i still use them after downgrading to 2.5.1.8.

If I have got Recovery-RA-blade-v2.2.1.img how I can install recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-blade.img?

I can use fastboot to install it or I have to use update if yest how, because instruction on the first page is not clear.

in theory they are the same, I've used 3.0.0.5 to restore backups made on 2.5.1.8 so I cant see why not....

Nandroid is a standard, so it should be all the same... you can even take backups made with RA_Recovery and restore them, assuming you move the directories around

Use the update-signed.zip file, install it as you would a custom firmware.. when you reboot it will of replaced RA_Recovery with clockwork.

[Guest jt_mcg]

Great work again Sebastian. It boots into recovery almost instantly now!

[Guest olionair]

so 3.0.0.5 b2 now works with CM?

[Guest T3KO]

Wow updated from 2.5.1.8.

Your Version looks really nice and boots way faster that the old CW.

[Guest sorcie]

I'm relatively new to android, had my blade for a month now.. and loving it!

I've searched for the answer to this but can't find a definitive one so...

I'm not 100 sure how CW backups are made..

I have a CW backup of my FLB install which was on a smaller system partition (128mb),

i then reflashed to standard partition sizing to try out CM6.1 - which is nice but seems a bit heavy on battery.

If i restore the FLB backup will it also repartition as well.. or do i need to TPT an image with the smaller

system partition before i can restore my FLB backup?

[Guest lazyliam]

stupid question but where do i download the following update.zip method

If you have a previous version or another recovery install, install the update.zip and restart your device.

[Guest lazyliam]

sprry ignore the last stupid questino how do i determine which clockwork model im using

[Guest rjm2k]

This no longer seems to work with ROM Manager, with my previous Clockwork I could select backup/restore etc from ROM Manager and it went into clockwork and did its stuff. On this version it reboots, shows a rom manager tophat but then simply reboots back into android.

You will need to restore your partition sizes back to what they where really... best way to be sure

It should say the version somewhere on screen when you boot it up... at the top.. or bottom.... (depending on the version)

Hmm, I'm fairly sure I tested it... but can you check /cache/recovery and see if theres log file in there, and post the contents here?

Thanks m8 but it looks like I won't be installing it coz apparently JJ rls9 rom isn't compatible with v3.005.

I seem to recall reading someone saying that it won't install the addons (as opposed the rom itself) for JJ. I don't know how accurate that is as I'm still using clock work 2.5.1.8. I'd be happy to told that's wrong though because it's the only thing stopping me put v3 on! Just in case JJ does get another update.

[Guest jorgen41]

The methods dont seem to work on later Blades None of the methods works on my blade..

Method : Vol+ / Power = Fail (Booting and holding vol+ is disabled)

Method : Vol+ / Power / Menu = Fail (Booting and holding vol+ is disabled)

Method : Using ZTE-Blade Recovery Manager 0.29b (The "new" method for later Blades) = Fail (You can install Clockwork but if you use :

recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-blade.img = If you select anything in the menu and press menu the screen goes dark and nothing happens cant even reboot.

recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-blade.img = If you select anything in the menu and press menu a hat comes up and nothing happens cant even reboot.

[Guest jasonXXx]

Hmm looks like its some kind of protection thats strange as zte are openley give us the source for the kernal etc.

[Guest leszekpap]

question - recovery I had installed and worked beautifully,I updated 2.5.1.8 to 3.0.0.5 and on ... Now when you enter the recovery probably hangs .. ie I am an android, and still nothing happens.

phone is normally starting ... but when I wants to get into recovery is hanging.

what to do?

Try installing it again, make sure you check the md5 of the file you are going to install and the md5 that Seb404 provides in the first post (if they match you are ok, if they dont then the file is probably damaged).
