Guest mrbasic Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Hi, I am a noob to this but have no problem installing Cyanogen versions to this phone. Getting into Clockwork and having it install the ZIP completes and I clear data/cache and reboot. From then on its LGM all the way. I bought this OLED version secondhand and it had a modaco ROM on it so it must be something I am doing/not doing. Any ideas?
Guest ThrashMan Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 I've read that post a few times....but can't work out what the question is!? :|
Guest toyotahilux Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 (edited) I think LGM all the way means the green android? It sounds like you need to upgrade to GEN2. GEN1 to GEN2 TPT If I'm wrong, apologies, but as ThrashMan said, it's a little hard to understand the post. :D EDIT: shadowninty beat me to it Edited June 1, 2011 by toyotahilux
Guest mrbasic Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 Sorry the heading seems to have disappeared. Basically I cant get kitchen roms to run even though they do install. I used Ask Mr Pigfish with my cyanogen installation and it says gen 2.
Guest shadowninty Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 That's cos your Gen2 Those MoDaCo ROMs are really outdated
Guest mrbasic Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 That's cos your Gen2 Those MoDaCo ROMs are really outdated They probably are outdated but that does not explain why they wont run. I'm certain one of the kitchen roms was on the phone when i bought it.
Guest Blueangel180 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 They probably are outdated but that does not explain why they wont run. I'm certain one of the kitchen roms was on the phone when i bought it. Gen 1 roms WILL NOT work on GEN 2
Guest hugobosslives Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 anyone still not understand what the question is??? i've thread through the whole thread twice. and i wondering what you want.... start again, and explain your steps of what your doing, and what you are trying to do.....

O.K I bought the phone second hand and it had a modaco rom running. I changed this to cyanomod which works fine. I would like to have the benefit of both but none of the roms cooked in the kitchen run though they install ok. I have cleared cache etc but it does not help. Sweedish spring has just installed but it is the only one. Is there some tweak I am missing/
Guest bhf Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Let me get that straight. You claim your Blade is Gen2. You also claim it has Modaco Custom ROM running? This didn't add up, it even contradicts itself. Modaco Custom ROM ist Gen1 and Gen1 only. There is no way you could let MCR running on a Gen2 device.
Guest Pondlife Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Which version of cyanogenmod are you running?
Guest mrbasic Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Which version of cyanogenmod are you running?CM7. android version2.3.4.. It definitly was running a modaco rom with the correct splashscreen. I asked the owner where he got it from the url he sent me is the rom kitchen address. Quote from ebay ad I bought it from "Its an Android phone currently running a 2.2 MoDaCo ROM, unlocked and rooted with A2SD installed" As far as gen 1 or 2 is concerned Mr pigfish says its gen2
Guest ThrashMan Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Install Green v3, who cares what ROM was on your phone. It clearly cannot have been the one from the kitchen.
Guest toyotahilux Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I think maybe the phone came to you with GEN1, but you used a TPT to install Cyanogen, converting to GEN2 in the process. That would explain why Swedish Spring and Cyanogen work, but no others do. Did you install Cyanogen with a TPT from here? curl66's TPTs
Guest Pondlife Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 That's why then, you've changed to gen2 to run CM7 hopefully by the tpt method. If so read the thread about tpt upgrade from gen 1 to gen 2 and go back to gen1 using the tpt there and then you can load the old roms.
Guest Blueangel180 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I might have got it He bought the phone with a custom modaco 2.2 rom installed. (assuming its GEN 1 at this stage) He then installed CM7( by which i assume he used one of the TPT methods which converted his phone to gen 2) He now cant install and of the Modaco 2.2 roms (which are for Gen 1) but he can install Swedish Spring (which works on Gen 2) He wants to know why gen 1 roms wont work on gen 2 Am i right? :D

I dont know enough to fully understand TPT .Is there a TPT method that will allow me install these roms and takes care of the gen2 to gen1 conversion?
Guest toyotahilux Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Yeah, it definitely sounds like that's what you've done. In that case, you can use the TPT in wbaw's thread, here, and if you scroll down to the section Going Back to Gen1, you will find instructions there. That will allow you to install the older ROMs, however if you are unsure, then I would recommend you stick with Swedish Spring.
Guest mrbasic Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I might have got it Yes you have solved the problem. The fact that Mr pigfish told me I had gen2 was the problem but now I know why. I will convert back to gen1 just to try that rom again. Thanks guys. He bought the phone with a custom modaco 2.2 rom installed. (assuming its GEN 1 at this stage) He then installed CM7( by which i assume he used one of the TPT methods which converted his phone to gen 2) He now cant install and of the Modaco 2.2 roms (which are for Gen 1) but he can install Swedish Spring (which works on Gen 2) He wants to know why gen 1 roms wont work on gen 2 Am i right? :D
Guest shadowninty Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Why are trying the MoDaCo ROM? Its way outdated!

That link did the trick and now the rom is running perfectly.
Guest deksman2 Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Lol... Well, by installing Cyanogenmod, you automatically upgraded your Blade to Gen2. That's why the Modaco Kitchen ROM's won't work (they were designed to work on Gen1). As to why Gen1 ROM's don't work with Gen2... it's probably because the Gen2 'upgrade' unlocks certain hardware functions on the Blade... and while they are not exactly 'large' changes, they ARE rather important to the way the radio communicates to certain networks (and existing software probably has to be recompiled so it would use the unlocked hardware properly - otherwise, the software won't know how to use the hardware). Bottom line is... I think you are better off with keeping the Gen2 and just install any of the Gen2 compatible ROM's (such as CM, FLB, SS...). CM7's most recent nightly seems to fix plenty of issues and Psylod's 'lighter' Green (v3 now) version seems to be pretty solid.
