Returning the phone for warranty - reverting to original ROM

[Guest Igano]

As I said in a previous topic my Stake has a malfunctioning proximity sensor and I am planning to return it to the service department. I had H3 blues on it. I restored via recovery a backup I made with the original ROM on the phone. All seems fine except I found the cwm recovery is still on it, is it because I took the backup after I installed that? Will this affect my warranty? Anyway to hide it? Or do I need to do something else?

Flash a stock TPT so you get the original Android recovery back, then boot CWM to restore your backup. The command is:

fastboot boot recovery.img

As opposed to the permanent method:

fastboot flash recovery.img

fastboot boot should let you restore your backup, and when you reboot you won't have CWM anymore.

Are the recoveries of all other stock TPT the same?

I think so, yeah.

OK now I need to find a stock tpt because all the links I managed to find in this forum are dead :(

Use the ZTE Updater tool and follow the instructions , then you get the latest available stock rom on your specific ZTE Skate device

Sorry if I'm double posting, this file worked, but I can't find stock VIP splash screen. Does anybody have it? Thanks everyone..

[Guest omegavesko]

I can upload mine if anyone knows a way to extract it from the phone.

[Guest marko_serb]

Thanks omegavesko! It worked :)

Here's the VIP splash if anybody needs it:

How to flash splash screen image via Terminal on the device:

First copy the img file to sdcard (mtd2new.img for example)

In Terminal:

su (to use superuser)

cat /proc/mtd (list partitions, "mtd2" is the splash part. on my phone)

cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2old.img (backup old splash partition)

cat /dev/zero > /dev/mtd/mtd2 (erase mtd2 partition, it says something like "no more space" when finished)

flash_image splash /sdcard/mtd2new.img (copy new partition image)

And that's all :)

What exactly did you flash? Only the splash screen or the stock recovery?

[Guest marko_serb]

Both. I could't find this operater's logo anywhere.
