Hello,

Since I installed this rom (ICS CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies) my zte skate doesn't stop displaying the boot screen. I don't know what to do. I cannot access the recovery menu either.

Can somebody help me ?

Thank you

Firstly, pull out the battery, wait ten seconds, put it back in and try entering recovery (vol- and power).

If this doesn't work, I'd recommend performing a TPT. Don't know where the tpt forum is but if you can't find it just download the SKatie rom. You will need a card reader or something like that. Make sure you unzip it on your sd card so that there is a folder called image.

Also which boot screen is it stuck on? If it's the big colourful one leave it be for a while, it might be fine. First boots often take a while.

Hang on a sec. You're getting FTM mode with ClockWorkMod recovery installed?

FTM ?

How did you install cm9 then ? You need clockwork mod recovery.

Edit: if you used cwm to install rom then its still there.Cm9 does not change your recovery partition,nor does any custom rom.Have you used a tpt ?

Try to get into clockwork the way you did before - I presume volume down and power?

@jikobutsu : update.zip on sd -> reboot in recovery mode -> wipe -> install

and now volume down + power gets me to FTM mode

EDIT

no tpt

Is anyone else confused here ?

If you install cwm then flash cm9 there is no way to end up with FTM without using a stock tpt right ?

What version of cwm are you using ?

V4 = power + volume down

V5 = power + volume up + home

Whole history :

Android 2.3.4 rooted

install of CWM

copy rom on sdcard under update.zip

reboot on recovery mode

wipe

install from sd

reboot

How did you first install recovery ?

I would suggest that recovery did not install and that you perform the process again.

Did you use the windows.bat method ?

OK give me a minute I will give you link to a tpt.

Thanks for your time

It is also possible that the update.zip he flashed also reflashed recovery partiion and overwrote his CWM or installed another version of CWM with different key cominations for entering into it or it could even install CWM not compatible with Skate. I would just reflash the recovery.

OK if you still need help we are here.

Your easiest option is to use a tpt this will give you recovery and custom partitions for more internal space.

ok, so there is still hope...

There is always hope my friend.....what would we be without it.

And when it come to android,hope is a tpt,its a cure all medicine.

Hi,

So i have finally access to the recovery mode. I don't really know why it did work this time (volume up + home + power). Now i can flash again.

Thanks

Good to hear that all is well.....now you can install one of the fanfastic roms available,including ICS & miui 4 biggrin.gif

By the sounds of it when you explained what you did, you didn't wipe cache/data/dalvik, which is probably why you're boot looping

how you managed to some how remove CWM is a mystery to me though
