Guest KonstaT Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Please refer to Blade III ClockWorkMod thread. http://www.modaco.com/topic/360389-recovery-clockworkmod-6049-for-zte-blade-iii/
Guest ayziaa Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Nice to see that things are starting to come together for the aqua. Still waiting for it to land in europe! Edited August 14, 2012 by ayziaa
Guest Avenger 2.0 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks, works perfect. Hope you'll find a phone soon. Guess most europeans got the Medion version from the Aldi promotion.
Guest KonstaT Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Updated the first post with a new version. This should be now fully working (fixed usb mass storage & adb).
Guest myfka Posted August 25, 2012 Report Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Will I be able to upgrade to the official 4.0 from this recovery? I installed it, but during the installation update.zip, writes: verification failed I ам disabled verifications in menu : install aborted Edited August 25, 2012 by myfka

I installed it, but during the installation update.zip, writes: verification failed I ам disabled verifications in menu : install aborted What device is this? It came with 2.3 I assume? You really shouldn't install the official packages without doing some modifications. They also includes all the radio partitions/etc that can't backed up with clockworkmod. Even if it worked, you'll have no way of going back to gingerbread. Btw, there's a newer update than the Medion one in ZTE site for Greek Acqua. http://wwwen.zte.com.../mobile/Greece/ http://wwwen.zte.com...23227496766.zip ro.build.display.id=ICS_WIND_P740AV1.0.0B02 ro.build.date=Tue Jul 24 14:47:35 HKT 2012 ro.build.sw_internal_version=ICS_WIND_P740AV1.0.0B03 [/CODE]
Guest myfka Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 I have zte acqua v880e, I tried to flash and the Greek and German through your boot, but it is stitched. I'm not much understand, but the firmware 100% of my phone, just probably blocked by the operator. Backup of 2.3 I did. I would be grateful if you help me and tell in detail what to do. Thank you.
Guest myfka Posted August 30, 2012 Report Posted August 30, 2012 new Slovak rom http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/endata/mobile/Slovak/
Guest KonstaT Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 new Slovak rom http://wwwen.zte.com.../mobile/Slovak/ Yeah, it seems to be the most recent. ro.build.display.id=ICS_P740AV1.0.0B07 ro.build.date=Wed Aug 1 11:51:40 CST 2012 ro.build.sw_internal_version=ICS_P740AV1.0.0B07 [/CODE] I would really rather not advice anyone on how to flash these official updates. I don't have a device to test with and I really don't want to be held responsible for bricking anyone's device. It shouldn't be too difficult to modify if you are familiar with flashable zips and updater-script. Just make sure that you are not flashing any partitions (e.g. radio) that can't be restored to the original state. That rules out pretty much everything except system and boot.
Guest myfka Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 maybe you give a link where it says more to fix archive for flashing
Guest Droidevil Posted September 10, 2012 Report Posted September 10, 2012 Hi all, are there any international firmwares? And another question, whether cyanogenmod for this phone?
Guest KonstaT Posted September 11, 2012 Report Posted September 11, 2012 maybe you give a link where it says more to fix archive for flashing There really isn't any guides to this. These are just things that you need to know. ;) It really isn't that simple if you try to update from gingerbread to ICS. ICS would probably need a different partition layout on your device. RIL implementation is most likely different (you'll need different radio). You might even need some lower lever flashing tool from ZTE to do all this. Hi all, are there any international firmwares? And another question, whether cyanogenmod for this phone? What do you mean by international firmware? That Slovak build couple of posts up is a generic build. Knowing ZTE this usually means that it has full language support. MSM7x27A is still an active platform so there is no reason why this device couldn't have fully working (and even official) CM build. It's only matter of someone making one. :P
Guest Avenger 2.0 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Posted September 14, 2012 Looks like backup restore doesn't work. E:format_volume: no MTD partition "dev/block/mmcblk0p19" Error while formatting /system!
Guest KonstaT Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Well that's not very good then. :P I have no idea why would recovery think system is mtd partition though (it's noted as ext everywhere). I'll look into this but I still can't test any of this because I don't have the device myself.
Guest Yurbuh Tuggly Posted September 15, 2012 Report Posted September 15, 2012 Just did a full backup (initiated with Rom Toolbox, but that should not matter), and then immediately turned around, rebooted into Recovery the normal way, and chose to restore it. Happy to report that all went well...no errors or bad messages at all.
Guest Avenger 2.0 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I did not flash clockworkmod recovery, just booted it. Maybe this is the problem?
Guest Yurbuh Tuggly Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 At this point, there is no reason not to flash the latest recovery from KonstaT...everything I have tried works flawlessly...so go ahead and see if that solves your backup/restore issue. You can always reflash back to stock if you want to...but I find it hard to find a reason to want to.
Guest KonstaT Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 I was building recoveries so I thought I might as well compile one for Acqua. This is ClockWorkMod 6.0.1.2. I'd like to know if the issue that we had in 5.5.0.4 builds with key input still persists or does the new kernel fix it. Please test and report back. :) acqua-cwm6012.img . md5:8687c36558fa144c666452dc255279ab
Guest Yurbuh Tuggly Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) Please test and report back. Boot without flash. Loads OK. Can scroll with volume key. Cannot select anything with any key or button. :( Edited September 17, 2012 by Yurbuh Tuggly
Guest KonstaT Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 Ok, thanks for testing. There's still some underlying issue that I also had with some early Blade builds. Would be interesting to know what it is...
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 It's to do with FTM mode being enabled in the defconfig.
Guest KonstaT Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 It's to do with FTM mode being enabled in the defconfig. No, it's not and it isn't enabled anymore. That was exactly the part of me saying if the new kernel would fix it. :P https://github.com/K...396cc1f2aad6792
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Posted September 17, 2012 No, it's not and it isn't enabled anymore. That was exactly the part of me saying if the new kernel would fix it. https://github.com/K...396cc1f2aad6792 Oh lol. I really need to read a bit more before making stupid comments like that.
Guest Droidevil Posted September 20, 2012 Report Posted September 20, 2012 Are there any custom roms on the phone?
Guest N1ko5zAN Posted September 23, 2012 Report Posted September 23, 2012 Thnx KonstaT for the instructions on how to flash custom recovery... everything went fluently ;) also i have to say that the alternate method of rooting mentioned by Avenger 2.0 from a VOODOO's quote worked fine for me !
