Guest calza Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 To stop the GSF thread being filled up I have made this thread. Basically I did the GSFB9 TPT to GEN 2 and it worked. However Blade recovery manager forced closed so I could not install clockwork. When I was trying to get it to work and I turned it off and when I turned it back on it would not boot into GSF and froze at the big green android. I then followed this guide http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-also-the-imei/ It worked and I had clockwork but whenever I tried to install a rom when I rebooted it would just boot into clockwork. I then tried to update to clockwork v 3.0.2.4v9 which after rebooting has messed it up even more and it is now not usable. Sorry for the bad image quality, it is essentially random characters all over the screen (they are not characters from a-z). So is there anything I can do now? I hope its not a paperweight :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hecatae Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I would redo the TPT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Puzzles Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'd use wbaw's TPT http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...n2-tpt-upgrade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calza Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I'd use wbaw's TPT http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...n2-tpt-upgrade/ Is there any mirrors to the alternative GEN 1 to GEN 2 TPT? Filesonic always says I am already downloading from them, fileserve disconnects 3 seconds in and hotfile says it will take over an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest calza Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ok I have downloaded the GEN 1 to GEN 2 ALternative TPT, and unzipped in the root of my sd along with SS 5, and GSF B10 and 11. I turn it in and hold the menu and + volume but it still boots into the messed up clockwork. I cannot do anything in the clockwork and I when I turn it off it just reboots and goes straight to the clockwork again. Anybody have any ideas?

Guest hugobosslives Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 have you tried the obvious things like erasing your recovery partition and flashing a new recovery image then trying to boot that? (via fastboot or similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try to start your phone with power button and then hold VOLUME DOWN button. That way it should go in clockworkmod. Good luck , Kuoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hedgepigdaniel Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 you should be installing clockwork for blade gen2, not v9. did you read the big red warning at the top of that unbricking guide? It doesn't sound like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kuoi Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 OK , try the following ... Download GSF B9 TPT Gen1 to Gen2 Unzip the file so you get a folder named "image". One way or an other you should get this folder to your sd-card ... so I hope you have a card reader because I don't think usb will work without phone booted. If you get the folder ( !NOT THE ZIP file!) ... but the FOLDER 'image' , to your sd-card , power on the phone and hold "MENU" and "VOLUME +" Hope this works , Kuoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hugobosslives Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 So is it really messed up now? Beyond repair? no. you will be able to fix it. we are just a bit confused atm. did you try just flashing a blade recovery via fastboot. eg: download fastboot files and drivers and the new blade recovery image. (for my example put them all in a folder on root of your hard drive called android eg C:\android) then plug in an boot into fastboot mode (vol +) should stay at green android. [can you even boot into fastboot?] then from a command prompt: Then open the DOS command prompt (Start>Run> then type CMD and press return) the text below in "quotes" is what you actually need to type into the DOS cmd prompt. dont do the "". type "cd \" and press return type "c:" and press return type "cd Android" and press return type "fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.x.x.x-r2-blade.img" and press return type "fastboot-windows reboot" and press return where the bit in bold is the name of your downloaded recovey. you just rename it recovery.img then that line would be: "type fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery.img" and press return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have downloaded recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-blade.img, is that a good one? Where do I find the fastboot drivers? I tried searching for them but I couldn't find them, sorry.

Guest hedgepigdaniel Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I then followed this guide http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-also-the-imei/ What exactly did you do? Depending on what you did, it may be necessary for you to follow the instructions in that post to restore your IMEI (it fixes the same problem that leads to blades booting only into recovery mode, in your case clockwork). With the program from the post you linked to:Flash the contents of the "files" folder in the custom v7 package from here, with the "download cefs" box ticked.Get the phone into FTM mode by booting with volume down held (it should be in it after the upgrade anyway).Restore the channel1.nvm that you can download from that post after hex editing it with your IMEI, as the post sais. The above is a last resort. Try everyone else's ideas first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quirin Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Where do I find the fastboot drivers? I tried searching for them but I couldn't find them, sorry. Just look in my signature, there you will almost find what you need. Other fastboot-versions are here: http://flibblesan.co.uk/android/zte_driver.zip or here: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...rivers-and-adb/ Edited July 8, 2011 by Quirin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DID GSF B9 run on your blade ever ? I then followed this guide http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-also-the-imei/ It worked and I had clockwork but whenever I tried to install a rom when I rebooted it would just boot into clockwork. Did you actually changed imei ? I then tried to update to clockwork v 3.0.2.4v9 which after rebooting has messed it up even more and it is now not usable. I think we better wait for the answer on the first question , because if GSF b9 didn't run or installed well , the phone could be still GEN1 Greetings , Kuoi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quirin Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The problem is, he is now on baseband P726, befor he was on baseband P729.

Perhaps he should ask burstlam, who had created the thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/zte-blad...-also-the-imei/ for help! who said he was on P726? If he was, I don't think his phone would be turning on at all. P726 is the ZTE racer I think. Its not the blade anyway.The program sais P726 because it was extracted from some file for that phone - It can be used to flash blade firmware to blades though, which is what that post describes how to do. The instructions I posted a few posts back use the lowest level boot mode available to flash absolutely everything. If that doesn't work, your phone is broken.
