[ICS] [CM9] [4.0.4] CyanogenMod 9 for the ZTE Crescent [ROM] [Last updated: 13/07]

TPT Instructions:

After downloading, check the md5sum.

Unzip the file to the root of your sdcard. You should end up with a folder called "image" on the root of your sdcard with a image.bin file and a nandroid.md5 file inside it.

Check the md5sum of the image.bin file matches the one written in the nandroid.md5 file.

Turn your phone off and take the battery out.

Put the battery back in and power on holding the vol+ and menu buttons (probably, if this doesn't work then you can use the system update option from the settings menu in your rom).

You should see green text appear on the screen, then once its finished you should boot into Clockwork recovery.

Flash your chosen rom and reboot.

I don't get md5sums :/ What are they?

I have platform tools, and when I look in C:\Program Files\AndroidSDK\platform-tools\ there is fastboot.exe :/

-Ninjeh.

Go to platform-tools, then. "cd" your way through folders to platform-tools and fastboot from there if it really comes to it.

[Guest Dazzozo]

-Ninjeh.

They are a hash of the original file that can be used to ensure consistency after download.

[Guest irishpancake]

how odd, i really thought that worked for vivacity users, you know you could always just use the TPT helper app on the market

When I flashed that Amphoras TPT for Recovery.....on TMV

Could not use Home Capacitive Button.....

alternative method was..

Setrings/about phone/System updates/ Storage Card updates/... tap OK!!!!

Not sure if this is available with CM9??

Also, afaik....these are designed for Stock Partition!!!!

Well in /image/nandroid.md5 I get this a57faab87fee8d28611f5314108eca97 *image.bin

What other md5sum should I be looking for?

-Ninjeh.

What other md5sum do you want? You need some kind of program to generate a MD5 hash of the file on your end and compare it with the one in nandroid.md5.

That was how I flashed the original but there is no option for that any more :/

I think I have an easier way to solve this. I'll install your CM7 works for Gingerbread and use the update via SD in the menu. I have them lying around somewhere.

Apparently CM7 doesn't have update from SD. Just flash FLB2, at least we know it's there guarenteed.

[Guest irishpancake]

Use AFV from Market/Play.....

make sure you check those md5's... !!!

keep it up dazz cant thank you enough!

Yeah it's pretty much unusable as a camera. That's known and expected. We literally just got the hardware working.

I think I have that too :P Only one I haven't downloaded is F&C :P

Change setting to 3 Mp

Edit: Appeared to work @ 3Mp - I got a photo but preview now hangs again / can't connect. Re-boot didn't fix either

Well you've come a long way from having nearly nothing working :D At least you can see things through it :P

I've just flashed the latest updates on CWM v4 and I'll figure out the CWM v5 tomorrow, I'm too tired to concentrate :P Looking good so far though :)

We're synchronised with all the other ZTE devices at the moment with very few Crescent-specific issues left.

[Guest irishpancake]

Oh Man......I'll tell raverrrrrr!!!

You really should try....for completeness......

Make sure you have Stock Partitions too!!

[Guest NinjehKitteh]

I'll give it a try soon, I've flashed so many things over these past few days I'm surprised that hasn't slipped in :P

I had another issue earlier when I installed the themes pack from many many pages ago, I couldn't turn on Bluetooth. Bearing that in mind, I usually have to turn my phone off to get Bluetooth working :/

That's one of them. Bluetooth depends on Wi-Fi and has some very weird behavioural issues. I'll end up investigating that tomorrow no doubt.

I see, well I'm glad to see you are making progress :D

Awesome :D The home button works, I feel so special now :D You're awesome! Wish I could donate :P

That was a pain in the arse to fix. It was like brain surgery over the internet.

Edit: Credit to fr0do for being awesome with that, by the way.
