Hi guys. I was looking for similar topics, I read many of them but on all tutorials was that I should have an "original recovery". When I bought Blade I check out it - turned off the phone and turning on with pressed volume down - nothing happened, phone just turned on normally.

When I uploaded a custom ROM then recovery 2.5.1.8 ofc is available :D

If any1 would know - my phone warms up under camera (inside) when I play games. This leads to many reboots.. I want to give it to guarantee.

I think it should be somewhere here in forum. In worst case you could flash a zeroed file, I think.

Exactly?

Any other ideas? I'll send it in monday. This reboots (even on stock rom) are really annoying :P

If I send it with recovery they can caccel quarantee? :D

As I understand, I should install it same like before recovery? And is it safety? It looks like files for Orange San Francisco, not for almost non-branded ZTE Blade from Play (Poland).

I really don't know if it is the same as the one that was originally on your device.

It does say to flash via fastboot which is how clockwork is installed.

I am not an expert in this area, just pointing you in the right direction.

Hmm ok thanks :D

Does any1 have an idea?

And if somebody tested this way above on OSF - does your OSF react after thar on Power On+volume down? Sth is shown? Sth like "original recovery"?

would you not just use fastboot and push a stock rom on?

Have you used the search function yourself, as this would answer your questions, especially with the tips already given? The easiest way is indeed installing a stock ROM via Clockworkmod, and then replace the recovery partition using Fastboot with the original recovery. Very easy, I have done this Friday evening in order to return a defective OSF.

@up: Have you ready my first post? :D I don't have sth like "original recovery" on my not branded ZTE.

I installed custom rom via recovery so I'll try to do this via fastboot if it could help :P

Ok m8s, these files are just in stock rom's backup files :P

But.. I should connect my phone via usbe when phone is turning on when holding volume down?

Clockwork Recovery is turning on then, and after typing in cmd "fastboot flash system system.img" it showc < waiting for device >. I tried to uninstall device. When I connect it then windowsh shows "your device is ready to use" but cmd shows the same warning. I chose option "update driver" and chose driver files from my hard disci. All done but cms agains shows < waitong for device > B)

What's wrong? Only problems with this device :D

Volume UP not down. Its the + symbol not the -

Up = developer mode, Down = recovery

Ehhh sure, thanks. My polish forum android.com.pl is turned off 2nd day and I couldn't check it.

Ok, recovery loaded but I check it and as I can see in backup was 2.5.1.8 -.-'

There's no way to totally DELETE recovery?

Take one of sebastian404's stock roms that include a recovery image (most of them) This is the stock recovery image, so it returns the phone to factory state, including the recovery partition.

His site is having issues, but you may end up lucky: http://android.podtwo.com/roms/stock/

Note: you don't want to delete the recovery, you want it returned to factory, and above does that

I don't understand how to apply it :D Inside update.zip there's META-INF folder, system folder and boot.img file and it's all. Is it not correctly as I guess?

What's still wrong?? This device is really problematic

Did you flash it through fastboot?

Must be same process as the one you do to flash the clockworks mod in your phone

So what command should I use? fastboot flash **** update.zip

?

Guest vareBlade

Im not exactly sure, i never tried it myself so dont take my words for credit but what i think is

You need this file:

*(which got boot.img and recovery.img)

http://content.modaco.net/dropzone/blade-b...very-images.zip

You extract it and flash the .img files

dont remember exactly the command, should be something like this:

fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot-windows flash boot boot.img

Dont do it yet, till someone else confirms it, cause i dont wanna take your phone down with me X_x
