I have big problems.

I have a blade from saunalahti finland, it was 2.1 originally but i upgraded to swedish spring rls5. that was cool but i wanted to try the stock saunalahti version of 2.2.

I decided to install it in the same was i installed swedish spring using a guide from sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk, I assumed i did not need to root and install clockwork since i had previously done it so i followed the guide from the last stage, choosing and installing the rom.

I chose the rom FRY_EFIN_P729BV1.0.0B04-update_signed from a list of stcok roms on this forum.

when i installed using clockwork mod i rebooted and all i got was a flashing saunalahti screen.

i tried to boot into clockork with no luck

i tried fast boot with no joy

so i tried to use fast boot via my pc and command promt but when i try to flash clock.img it just says waiting for device and nothing happens.

can anyone help i think i might have killed this blade.

thanks

Joe

It's not bricked, you can definitely fix it up.

You have probably installed a Gen2 ROM on your Gen1 Blade. these are two different bootloader configurations that are not compatible. factory 2.1 ROMS are Gen1, factory 2.2 ROMs are Gen2. Swedish Spring supports both.

What happens when you try to boot into clockwork? if it boots into FTM, then read on, if not then what happens and how are you trying?

If you can handle losing all your data, go to the Gen2 upgrade sticky and install the Gen1 TPT if you want to restore to the way things were and boot clockwork, or the Gen2 TPT if you want to run the saunalahti 2.2 ROM. This will reflash your phone's bootloader.

also if you are trying to use fastboot, then have you booted it into fastboot mode? power on with volume+, it should stay at the green android.

Well if you don't mind losing your data then its simple.

If you want to use the saunalahti ROM:

  1. Go to the Gen2 upgrade thread I linked to and follow the instructions to upgrade to Gen2, choosing the v7 version.
  2. clockwork should work. boot into it and go to advanced, mounts, mount USB storage.
  3. connect to your computer and save the zip file for the saunalahti ROM on your SD card
  4. install via clockworkmod

gen2 stock rom has put a gen2 stock recovery.img on the recovery partition of the gen 1 layout.

Some of Sebastian404s stock roms are dangerous if you are unaware of the base address difference between stock eclair and stock froyo blades, as the majority come with stock recovery, if you flash one you need to flash a clockwork or ra recovery afterwards

no luck,

I tried to follow the guide but as i explained i cant get past the flashing saunalahti screen.

i tried to copy the files to the sd card. i took it out and put it in an apapter.

still i get the flashing screen.

i cant contact the device at all via usb and even the windows fastboot does not appear to work.

any more ideas?

i think i managed to kill it
