Just can't do it!

[Guest TWINSET]

I need some help!

Just bought an Orange San Francisco

Have followed StevenHarperUK's guide as far as 'Install Recovery' and it all goes pear shaped.

The recovery file I've got is recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-blade-gen1.img and when I try to install it, it goes through the motions;

looks on /sdcard/IMG/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-blade-gen1.img,

Are You Sure OK/Cancel

Installing icon

Currently Installed Recovery:

Unrecognised

If I try 'Reboot Into Recovery' at the top and bottom of the screen it says ClockwordMod Recovery v3.0.2.4

with various options in orange text

Am I doing something wrong as it's driving me a bit loopy now :)

Thanks in anticipation!

you have to hit the menu update database :)

[Guest TWINSET]

where?

on the phone or on this site?

[Guest jamidodger1]

You've installed recovery all ok. the orange text is recovery. use vol keys to navigate and home to select, back key to go back. Simples.

It's currently rebooting, now have a MoDaCo screen intead of the Orange one - I trust it's going right now?

yes should be correct wait some minutes for the first boot it's normal

[Guest TWINSET]

All running - thanks

The recovery manager program didn't recognise the 3.0.2.4 file until I'd done menu/update database, and I've just re-installed it for this new ROM and I needed to update again.

Apologies for the newbieness - just come over from an iphone and not used to more than one button

Thanks for the help chaps!

We all have to start somewhere mate. Don't feel bad about it. Welcome to Android and iFreedom!

I came from iPhone too - I have been forced to dev an App for the last three weeks on iPhone at work - and all the nightmares were re-lived.

[Guest jamidodger1]

Mind me asking where you work?

He works for Orange...

[Guest jamidodger1]

Thought so, so many people on the forum forget who does what!

[Guest Android2011]

Is it all working now? :)

[Guest TWINSET]

Is it all working now? :)

Me? yes, thank you - after 3+ hours downloading and reinstalling ROMs before I posted here yesterday, I decided to have a relatively phone-free day today apart from a bit of Endomondo around the local reservoir.

Is there a email app that works like the iphone's? (ie stays 'live' and receive email as it arrives) - I got K9, but closing it seems to shut it down.

[Guest jamidodger1]

The Built in EMAIL one is pretty good.

[Guest TWINSET]

Thanks, I'll try that :)

I debranded an Orange phone and the Orange guy I spoke to just before the big switch suggested K9 as an alternative to Orange's email thingy, which involved extra ££

Having got K9 I never looked for a built in one, just reinstalled K9

I ended up with Sebastian's r9_update_de-orangeated_blade_signed.zip - Tried the MoDaCo Custom Rom - r4 but the sceenlock wouldn't go, so ditched it - just seen the MoDaCo one is OLED - is that why the screen stayed locked?
