Guest tompie Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hi guys, I'm a bit of a newby to the android world, so forgive me if I ask stupid questions :P I've managed to do quite a lot with my chinese bought blade over the past few weeks, thx to this great forum, but there is one thing I can't seem to manage: booting in recovery mode! I've tried all possible methodes: booting with the volume down button pressed, this gave a locked phone on the white FTE screen after all the changes I've made, he now completely refuses to boot up if I hold either one of the volume buttons.. recovery manager does work, only rebooting in recovery mode gives a locked phone on the opening icon (not the android figure, but the chinese manufactures logo i think) lifting the battery is the only way to wake him up again. Any idea's on what I need to do to get this to work? THx Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arnar Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) is that "FTE" suppose to be FTM? Because FTM is recovery mode before you install clockworkmod or such. Edited November 13, 2011 by Arnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hugobosslives Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 have you installed a recovery image in the recovery partition? stock, it has a locked recovery image (which says FTM) and only lets you flash official zte updates (and there arn't many of them.....haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read here on the forum the chinese based blade only work with 2 roms, one of which is de CM7, but this seems to give poor battery life. Maybe something containing a working appmarket...

Think you can use either Burstlam's 2.35 based rom or Triple Two Project (The B02 2.3.5 rom might be ok but it would be a pita for you to sort it out (need to install european cefs.mbn / oemsbl / amss.mbn with windows flasher with chinese appsboot even then you might have a fair amount of messing around.)

CM7 installs, blade mix 360 (all versions) installs, even some others, but except triple two project, non off them recognises my camera. no offense to the guys who made the tripple two rom, but is seems a bit heave for the blade to run, and doesn't have a lot off features.. Any suggestions on how I can install the correct driver for my camera when using one of the other roms? Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
