can't flash anything other than Japanese Jellyfish

[Guest Speculatrix]

my Orange San Fran is a gen 1 and is running clockworkmod 3.0.9 and Jap Jellyfish RLS9.

It used to have ClockwordMod 2.5.1.8 but when I upgraded to the latest 5.0.2.0, recovery was completely broken, and I installed RecoveryManager and installed the older version of clockworkmod that does seem to work now, so at least I'm not bricked!

I have now tried a variety of new roms, - the following all downloaded recently

cm-10-20120722-blade-Burst-JB-KANG.zip

cm-7-20120719-UNOFFICIAL-blade.zip

cm-7.2.0-blade.zip

update-JOYOS1.2.2-blade.zip

so I have used CWM and wiped everything and then installed the rom image, but when I reboot I get the green android, then screen goes blank, then green android again, and then finally blank. It appears that the Blade has turned itself off, as if I hit the power button the whole cycle repeats.

I assume I am missing some vital stage before flashing, but I have googled around and from what I have read I should simply be able to flash it straight to cyanogenmod 7.2?

thanks

All those roms you listed, those need a gen2 device. I suggest you read on the forums on how to do a tpt upgrade to a gen2 device, or install a rom that does include that.

The reason why 5.0.20 didn't is also most likely due to not having gen2, but I'm not sure about that...

What I think you need to do is flash a tpt. All of the later versions of cyanogen mod(7.1, 7.2, 9,10) require you to be gen 2. This means that you must use a gen 1to gen 2 tpt. Otherwise they will not boot and your will be stuck on the green android logo.

You can get all the common tpts from amphoras.co.uk get a gen 1 to gen 2 one.

Edit: Ha. Just seen a reply that was added while I was still typing mine out

Having read more, it seems that I can do a reversible upgrade of the radio to gen2, which might resolve the problem.

The snag is that all the rom images which will do this are have been stored on file sharing sites which have been shutdown or the image deleted.

so I am trying this Swedish-Snow-RLS7-TPT.zip:
