Problem with ZTE Skate

[Guest Dukelord]

Ok, so I just got a ZTE Skate recently. Comes with Android 2.3.4 by default. Was interested in upgrading to ZTE stock 2.3.5 (http://android.modac..._1#entry1847734 ) Someone advised that I do a backup first of default rom. I first installed clockwork recovery mod (http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/) and then superboot (http://android.modac...-the-zte-skate/), discovered that my sound has stopped working after both installations. Cant hear keypad tones, music or call sound. How do I fix?

Now I discovered that the 2.3.5 (http://android.modac...te-android-235/) is just an image.bin in an image folder. After reading around, I transferred the image folder with the image.bin to my sd card root. Shut down my phone, tried rebooting with the following combinations:

volume up+power

volume up+home

volume down+power (Takes me to clockwork recovery mod boot)

volume down+ home

volume up+power+menu (left button)

volume down+ power+ menu

None of the combinations above allow for the installation of the 2.3.5 image.bin. Please someone help me. My phone is without sound now and practically useless. I need it back to default state (2.3.4) but I didn't make a backup of it with sound only a backup of it without sound.

I try installing cyanogen mod and also tried installing bluemonte, installation was successful, but at bootup the screen showing cyanogen mod 7.1, just keeps looping continuos. Please help guys. Too many issues. :(

How do I delete? Through clockwork recovery mod? And which of the problems does it fix? Thanks.

[Guest momodu80]

the main menu of clockwork recovery mod

wipe data / factory reset

wipe cache partition

then goes in and wipe advenced Dalvik cache

then your installation costomroom and your problem should be solved

will the installation of image.bin work from the image folder on sd card root? what button combination do I use to start up my skate and make sure that the image.bin of 2.3.5 works?

[Guest momodu80]

Please, get your Stock-ROM here (trustworthy source) and follow the instructions from the same threat.

I see that the only english version is for Orange Monte Carlo. If I download the ZTE Skate version of another language, can I change to English? Also easy tutorial on how to install properly. I dont want to brick my phone. Thanks

[Guest Chris_67]

Most of the ROMs (i'd rather suppose all) can be switched to english.

Please read (and try to understand) the thread mentioned above. This should guide you on your way to successfully flash your phone. You should not flash any device as long as you do not understand what you are doing.

Correct combination for TPT is volume up+menu+power, but the menu key is the middle one. Try to TPT an Orange official image.bin first to see if your sound are going to work. The one in http://android.modaco.com/topic/348649-zte-android-235/ might be fine, but I haven't tried.

Yeah but after extraction, it has no dest-10.ini and cefs.mbn. I dont wanna mess up my skate by having mac address problems and other problems.

You will NOT have mac address problems with TPT. On the contrary, you probably will get problems if you flash by FTM flasher.

As Chris_67 said" You should not flash any device as long as you do not understand what you are doing."

So could someone pls tell me what to do because my main issue now is I have no sound. I am still on default 2.3.4 but after installation of clockwork recovery mod and superboot, sound is lot. Please read my first post. I desperately need help. Thanks.

But this was working until I installed clockwork mod and superboot. Pls see my first post.

Was this a sim free skate. Where did you purchase it from?

Superboot is based on a monte carlo boot.img its possible it broke something, did you have sound before?

You need to replace clockwork with stock recovery if you want to try the ftm flasher

May be worth grabbing a stock Rom and reflashing There's a thread in other devices forum where someone had to flash stock update to fix sound on a huawei

If you have a look here..

(fourth option)

...is there a reason why it might not be a good idea to use the official UK software update tool for the Monte Carlo...?

Assuming you are in the UK...?

It might help in your position..?
