Thanks. :mellow:

Stupid question, can we flash a ROM like the Softbank one on a Blade from another country ? There's some networks problems ? (I suppose this one didn't fit on 128mb partition ?)

Just like all stocks stuffs but I think there's no chance to see any 2.2 update on my country...

Thanks.

Can't remount in ADB - not permitted

[Guest veehexx]

just flashed this, but its not booting very far; seems to attmept to boot for 5seconds after power on, a get random black lines across the android logo (asif the display has lost power and crystals power down), and phone reboots.

anyone else had issues with this?

you can flash any stock rom you want to, as long as it's the correct Gen type for your blade.

no idea about the 128mb system partition

[Guest CaptainSpectacular]

Thanks for reply.

I've tried this quickly. All I can say, this is very smooth and fast. Don't like the keyboard and some other details but it's very nice start to make an own custom ROM imo.

Please..... ! Jeez.

adb devices - OK

anything else: "remount failed: Operation not permitted". Same with FLB r11b and SFB B15 image...

because the boot.img is not insecure

[Guest hecatae]

not china unicom, as that's the u-v880

[Guest Len Ash]

I split the boot image and amended default.prop, the effing SBK splash and few other weird ZTE screw-ups and funnies. I use SBM B15 by the way... works fine for JJ9 and FLB 11.

As you may have guessed, I now have Ubuntu 10.10 working as well as I had 9.04... lol

I'm currently going deeper in to B15 - there is some more dross in there.

I was hoping it was the ZTE Libra US rom, but it's not.

I tried to install by CW and RA but "format() expects 2 args, got 1"...

I tried to install by CW and RA but "format() expects 2 args, got 1"...

I was getting the same thing. I removed these two lines as a workaround:

format("RECOVERY:");

mount("RECOVERY:", "???");

from the update script and the install went through.

Thanks, I've also removed unneeded formatings.

[Guest hecatae]

thanks for informing me I've messed up the 2nd revision, will re-upload

[Guest solidchips]

Hecatae, I don't want that ZTE splash screen at booting.

Please tell me how to remove it. Thanks.
