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

[Guest TheDOC1]

@Sebastian404: Thanks for that. It's a bit tricky to rethink the button concept now. I've already caught myself pressing the top of the screen. :(

[Guest Sebastian404]

Thanks Seb,

If i were to do it myself, would I need to remove the installed Clockwork 1st though?

Saying that if you can produce an update for the Clockwork, that would be fantastic.

Many Thanks

LoA

you have won a prize.. you get to test this for me ;)

the usual applys, backup your stuff before you break it.. you should be able to write this over your old version of clockwork.... let me know how you get on :(

BTW, to the guy who asked about EXT3 support.....

If I can find someone with a TFT device to test it out for me, I will give it ago when I get some free time ....

Thanks Seb as I was the one (of) who asked for this. Could you release a OLED version in the meantime?

Worked a treat, wow Seb.

Fantastic, can I delete the old 2.5.0.9 img from the sd card?

ThankYou

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

After wednesday, I am all yours for testing ;)

did it work? you got updated to 2.5.1.8?

[Guest lordofangels]

did it work? you got updated to 2.5.1.8?

Yeah, right way up now..

Can I remove the old 2.5.0.9 img from the sd card?

Or am I way off, as it's needed?

Great stuff Seb

Thanks

Thanks Seb as I was the one (of) who asked for this. Could you release a OLED version in the meantime?

Given this ago.. I built a Kernel with EXT3 support.... it seems to work on my OLED device as usual..

I put a 2Gb card in to test it, and did 'Advanced -> Partition SD Card -> 512M (Ext Size) -> 0M (Swap)' and I got this:

~ # fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0

fdisk /dev/block/mmcblk0


The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 61440.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)


Command (m for help): p

p


Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 2013 MB, 2013265920 bytes

4 heads, 16 sectors/track, 61440 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes


			  Device Boot	  Start		 End	  Blocks  Id System

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1			   1	   45807	 1465820   c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2		   45807	   61440	  500259+ 83 Linux

Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary


Command (m for help):[/code]




sort of looks ok... I think...  not ideal with those warnings tho...  so then..



[code]~ # mkdir /tmp/test

mkdir /tmp/test

~ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/test

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /tmp/test

~ # mount |grep /tmp/test

mount |grep /tmp/test

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on /tmp/test type ext3 (rw,errors=continue,data=ordered)

~ # ls -l /tmp/test

ls -l /tmp/test

drwxr-xr-x	2 root	 root		 12288 Dec 27 00:34 lost+found

~ #

That looks like its formatted a ext3 partition to me....

So can someone confirm...

- Will it format your SD card as you'd want it too.

- Does it work with a TFT device?

- Anything else wrong with it?

UPDATE: file removed

[Guest superkryo]

Thanks Seb. Just tried to backup my oled with ext3 on Paul's 2.2a3, it worked! Will tried format in the morning. Cheers.

[Guest aggy123]

thank you

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

just one strange thing :(

backup has been made at 4:03 pm

It must use GMT which is set as default (build.prop) in Paul's 2.2.

it was i'm thinking i'm located on GMT +1

is it difficult to change this in build.prop ?

just edit the file ?

i found nothing about this in build.prop

[Guest dabrain230]

trying to install the mod on a stock phone. Win XP wants to install a device called "android". where do i get the appropriate driver? i already downloaded and installed http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...te-usb-drivers/, but that doesnt help (its even said in the description that it doesnt work for fastboot). what to do?

[Guest Master One]

Given this ago.. I built a Kernel with EXT3 support.... it seems to work on my OLED device as usual..

Is this "experimental" version compatible with the TFT device as well?

[Guest majnu]

I keep getting waiting for device.

I am on Win XP. I think I will try and use another machine at home and see if it works that way.

[Guest Phoenix Silver]

Is this "experimental" version compatible with the TFT device as well?

yes i have a TFT model B08

[Guest super san francisco]

i'd like to ask a certain thing, whether it would be possible to make my backup a flashable zip file?

i found flashing zips somehow way faster than restoring backups, which takes foooooreeeeevvveeeerrrrr

i can live with the method as it is aswell, if it's to complicated...

flashing your r0.2 rom as i write :(

[Guest t0mm13b]

Hmmm... have the TFT version of S.F Grey, did a

./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-blade.img

it does not seem responsive enough, like when I press the volume key to navigate the menu option, such as backup/restore, I hit home key (correct?) the screen goes blank and after pressing a key at random (volume, menu/home/return key) the backup screen appears.... what gives? but it responds anyway... it's just the screen blanks and no menu appears...

Have also noticed there's a couple of links within this thread pointing to clockwork 2.5.1.8 - can you clarify which one should be used... the first one or the one further in the thread marked experimental?

FYI I have overwrote the original clockwork 2.5.0.9...

I cannot reboot after performing a system backup.... home key does not work properly....or the screen blanks itself, hit any other button, still in the clockwork menu..... ;)

Great work by the way Sebastien... thanks! ;) ;)

P.S: Just discovered.... you have to hit home twice to select the option... Can live with that.... Cheers.... just be careful in thinking it's not working, hit the home button twice.... :(

[Guest kallt_kaffe]

- Screen correct way up

How? I've done some experimenting with the kernel when I was bored trying to accomplish this. I managed to the the "ANDROID" logo to turn 180 degrees but never the menus inside Clockwork.

- SDcard partitioning works as expected

Do you have EXT3 support in the kernel. If not, I'd be happy to compile an EXT3 capable zImage that you could use.

[Guest kag8]

hi, someone please help, i had made a clockwork backup, and now im trying to restore it, but i keep getting 'MD5 mismatch', what can i do to restore my backup?
