Brick Blade after flash to 2GEN ROM [solved]

[Guest hudasp]

OK, very bad situations. I try change partitions and my phone is now bricked. My situation:

- my phone is 2nd gen

- PC not recognize my phone in FTM mode (propably bad recovery)

- PC recognize my phone in fastboot mode (but Clockwork mod cannot instal via fastboot)

- TPT is not working (only blank screen)

Any chance to unbrick phone?

you say clockworkmod not install via fastboot,try downloading clockwork again,check MD5 sum,or try using blade recovery manager to flash recovery

GEN2 cannot install clockwork via fastboot from PC, and I don´t start phone (if I put on the phone, only backlight work and I have black screen). I´m trying downgrate to GEN1 via T-Mobile Hungarian firmware (with patched download), but I it don´t check IMEI.

If I trying via original T-Mobile flasher (DL_Customer_P729TV1.00.00)

If I trying flash clockwork (md5 checksum is correct)

sounds bad :D

Did you try recovery manager or even rom manager to flash recovery ?

[Guest hudasp]

If I understand well, Recovery and ROM manager is apk´s files for install in phone, but I don´t put on the phone:-/ If I start the phone, only backlight is on, nothing more.

Probably you will need that exe what could edit the IMEI field... So you can write back your IMEI, save it, and use the Gen2 updater again to make it work.

[Guest hudasp]

Could you write step by step? I don´t understand you, what you mean.

EDIT: Last screen if from GEN2 updater. Updater found the phone, but Start button is inactive.

How I write back IMEI, what fonix232 says? :D

Hey man. Same thing here.

First, my phone is a Gen 1 phone.

I did the update Gen 1 to Gen 2 without any problem.

So I try to do the other thing, downgrade from Gen 2 to Gen 1 and trying to flash my Gen 1 stock ROM...

But now I can't read my SIM card, and I've the same error than you when I try to flash again with my PC... But I can access to my clockworkmod.

So, we have dead phones ?

Thanks.

My phone alive. You need flasher 2.2 from ZTE webside, Channel1.nvm file from your first flash and patched download.exe file. You IMEI is 0, if I get it right.

so your phone is fixed yes?

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Where's this channel1.nvm please ?

I use this guide Gen1 to Gen2

Then Gen2 to Gen1

Maybe this is another problem ?

Thanks.

[Guest hudasp]

Yes, my phone works well now and IMEI is back. Many thanks to mrradmir for help with my phone resurrection.

Channel1.nvm is file with IMEI information, which is created via flash process (if I fully understand informations from mrradmir - please correct me, if I write mistates) in dir c:\windows\sysdy. Ever phone has unique Channel1.nvm (because ever phone has different IMEI). Answer me, if is your IMEI 0.

Edited April 4, 2011 by hudasp

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Yes my IMEI is 0. I've found my channel1.nvm.

So now, What i'm suppose to do please ?

Thanks.

Did you managed to get it partitioned in the end or was it all for nothing ?

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Thanks for your help.

I presume it's the same deal if i'm on Gen1 phone ?

Thanks.

[Guest hudasp]

I don´t understand, what you mean.

No it´s only for 2GEN firmwares. I check correct channel1.nvm in 1GEN flasher, but it did not work.

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Ok, i'm done. Thanks for your help.

But now, my phone is on Gen2 I don't have 3G anymore... Any ideas ?

Thanks.

[Guest hudasp]

You have got TeriaSonera firmware. If it´s your IMEI OK, now flash RLS4 firmware via this topic.

[Guest unrandomsam]

OK, very bad situations. I try change partitions and my phone is now bricked. My situation:

(That implies to me you were trying to repartition when you recovered did you sort the partitioning at the same time)

[Guest hudasp]

Try this (if you have correct channel1.nvm file). It will be restore partitions too.
