recovery aint working anymore

[Guest lakicamm]

ok i'm totally retarded... somehow i managed to flash recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-v9-g1.img to my Blade using fastboot, and now this is what happened:

when i install recovery manager and try to install correct image (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-blade-gen1.img) it says "Installing..." for like 5-6 seconds, but after that i get message "Currently installed recovery: Unrecognized"

bottom line is that i dont have recovery anymore... when i try to boot with volume down, all i get is green android and nothing more :)

i also tried TPT of my complete working system which was made BEFORE all this, but still no result... :)

the whole story went like this:

- made full backup using CW v3.0.1.4 (installed system is Swedish_Spring_RLS4b)

- pulled out sd card and used USB Reader on pc (winxp)

- created "image" folder according to

http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-for-your-apps/

- installed 128 MB system, 4.5MB cache, 324MB data using shrink_cache_sane.zip by wbaw and my backup (with md5 check), + appsboot.mbn and partition_zte.mbn from JJ9 TPT image

- rebooted, everything worked fine

- pulled out sd card and made a complete backup of my 16 GB sd card using USB Reader

- deleted FAT32 partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition 5.2

- since i didnt find any detailed info, i tried to create Ext2 partition, but MiniTool Partition responded like "your system will not recognize removable media if

your first partition is non-readable by windows" ... so i decided to format it using Blade itself and CW

- installed Rom Manager, which said i have CW v3.0.1.4

- rebooted into CW v3.0.1.4 and tried to reformat my sd card to 512-1024 ext2, but nothing happened... when i try to use "advanced" or "mount and manage" i get Rom Manager icon at the center on the screen, and all i can do is to press back key

- at that point i decided to try newer version of clockwork, and since my sd card was without partition, i decided to try fastboot method

- somehow i used recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-v9-g1.img (for another phone for christs sake!), and since then fastboot is not working (for flashing right CW), and recovery manager (v0.34 and v0.36b) says "Currently installed recovery: Unrecognized" when i try to use right image.

i also tried to TPT again with working backup (it had CW v3.0.1.4), but nothing changed...

does anyone has any idea if this is possible to fix?

thanks in advance and sorry for retarded problem..........
