[Request] Step-by-step guide on returning to FTM, unlocking and flashing.

[Guest CurtisAndroidSF2]

Hello,

I'm currently running a custom rom on my SF2 and I was wondering how I would go about returning my phone back to stock recovery so I can unlock it. Anyone got any simple instructions for me?

I downloaded the latest SF2 stock rom (OUK_P736VV1.0.0B13-update_signed) from here; http://files.podtwo.com/roms/stock/zte/blade2/ (Linked from the Stock roms thread).

Is this the right stock rom and would flashing this replace Clockwork with FTM?

make a folder on root of SD card called image

download this http://www.mediafire...xt33vyy9j7kdx57

this is the stock rom.

extract and put the image.bin file in the image folder.

turn off phone completely.

turn on phone while holding vol+ and home (so 3 buttons: vol+ home and power)

hold them all down until you see the progress bar, let go and wait till completed.

this will return you phone to stock, partitions will be stock, no CWM recovery etc etc

Just wanted to let you know what your doing.

never done the unlock, so someone else will have to help you there......

Oh and make sure you have 50% or more power to allow this job to finish or else, bricked phone, probably.

ok, you edited your post, while i edit mine.....

never used that rom.... so don't know.

have used the TPT in my earlier post to get me out of trouble when phone went belly up the other day.

it flashes everything

Is that zip for the Orange San Francisco II? Just making sure just in case.

Thanks for the reply.

[Guest chris231]

yes for san fran 2 orange branding

[Guest CurtisAndroidSF2]

Thanks a bunch, just charging my phone then I'll give it a bash.

[Guest CurtisAndroidSF2]

Phone took a lot longer than I thought it would to charge so it looks like I'll be trying Saturday instead as I'm 'celebrating' my A level results tomorrow.

Do I basically flash that update file via the buttons then carry on with the normal unlocking procedure followed by the normal installing clockworkmod procedure?

And; Do I need to rename the file once it's in the folder?

Thanks again.

[Guest chris231]

no idea on the unlocking procedure, check the updated thread for unlocking

download the zip I posted.

extract the contents.

there should be an image.bin file in there (in the zip)

get the image.bin file and put it in the image folder (on sd card)

turn off

hold down vol+ home and power all together and let go when the progress bar appears

wait

now you have a complete stock 'out of the box' orange san fran 2

no need to rename any files as they are named correctly already

as for unlocking, I've never tried, but look here:
