Zte Blade, Contacts+Market Not Working

[Guest Davesco]

Hi All

Great site here guys, so much info it's great

I have an Ornage san fransisco/zte blade but am unable to use some of the features

We tried to unbrand it to get rid of all the orange rubbish on it but something has gone wrong

I am now unable to use the following menus, they look like they are about to open and then close back to main screen

Contacts - Unable to add any contacts to the phone now, get the following message

(Sorry the process acore has stopped unexpectedly, please try again)

Market - When i click the market, it tries to open then just closes and goes back to main menu

We got the files from the app store not from this site

we downloaded these apps

titanium backup pro

superuser permissions

Can this be sorted or do i need a new phone?

If it can be sorted what files are best to use on the phone?

All i wanted was to get rid of all the branding, i did have a look at roms but it seems a bit complicated doing them

Any help appretiated guys

Thanks in advance

Nah, you don't need a new phone. It can be sorted. If you've rooted and you're comfortable flashing a ROM just do so. This is because I think you've deleted a system file hence the force closes - these are usually more awkward to fix than start afresh. There's plenty of good guides here and you're already rooted so that's probably 30% of the work done.

Otherwise, try do a factory reset if you can access the menu.

To install a new ROM Start by installing Recovery Manager and Clockworkmod: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...zte-blade-gen1/

For a ROM I'd recommend Swedish Spring.

I tried the factory reset but doesnt help

I have found out that my model is a TFT

Does this make it more difficult then?

Can i use the orange stock rom with rom manager to reset the phone then?

Nope, that's fine. Most are TFT's.

Erm, you can but consider upgrading to Froyo (Android 2.2). It should be quicker and no Orange crap!

Here's the ROM: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-tft-gen1-gen2/
