Guest huntk1 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 First post - newbie - please help. I have a GEN1 Orange San Franciso which was running the Stock 2.1 Orange ROM. After much reading I decided to use the GEN1 to GEN2 TPT to upgrade to CyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable. I downloaded the TPT zip file, unzipped and copied the 'Image' folder to the root of my SD card. Booted phone with power, volume + and Menu buttons depressed and I get the black screen with green text. Goes through a few files, then stops at the line: load /mmc1/image/splash-img 68% error! I copied the Cyanogen 'update-cm-7.1.0-Blade-signed.zip' file to the root of the SD card as well. If I try and power on the phone I get a green android but the top third of the screen is just white and grey and nothing else happens. I can't do anything further - please help. Anyone in Plymouth, Devon who can fix this problem? Much appreciated.
Guest huntk1 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks for the help..... I downloaded a different TPT which has now worked and taken my OSF to a CyanogenMod nightly build. Was worried for a minute there! In the mean time I used the failed upgrade as an excuse to buy a Huawei Ascend G300 so I'll be selling on the OSF on eBay. It served me well for 18 months, but the Huawei is an amazing upgrade for the money. Got the Huawei for £100, no compulsory £10 Vodafone credit top-up (told them I was buying it for 'er indoors who is on Vodafone - I had to give them her mobile number so they could check) and as an added bonus popped my Orange SIM in and it worked straight out of the box. No unlock code needed. The only things that the OSF have over the Huawei is the smaller form factor (which some may prefer) and the touch-screen on the OSF is more responsive. The Huawei wins in every other department. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade.
Guest shmizan Posted June 9, 2012 Report Posted June 9, 2012 the touch-screen on the OSF is more responsive?! its responsiveness is crap as is, so is the Hauwei responsiveness that bad?
Guest huntk1 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Posted June 9, 2012 The Huawei is definitely worse. I never found the OSF to be that bad (only Android phone I've ever had so nothing to compare it to) but with the Huawei I'll often have to press it 2 or 3 times for a button press to register. I've seen the same mentioned in a couple of online reviews.
