Hi
Been doing alot of WinMo flashing the last year and now I've bought an Zte Blade. Here in Sweden they are cheap as h*ll and they seem to be ok as phones come.
My problem is that because of my "Obsessive Compulsive Flashing Disorder" I now need to learn how to flash/root my new Android phone. XDA is my only source of knowledge in this matter and I was surprised to find that there are no "Step-by-step" instructions for this here in the Blade section...
I mught be a noob... Please help me in the right direction.

Debrand Yoigo ZTE Blade - Orange Failed
duplicated elsewhere.. trying to delete
Debrand Yoigo ZTE Blade - Orange led to Green Man
Hi,
I followed the instructions here:
chrislowthian.co.uk/how-to-unlock-de-brand-and-root-the-zte-blade-orange-san-francisco/1824
Which an xda-developer forum discussion member suggested.
I tried it and when rebooting at the end, I was stuck at the green man.
I can still enter Clockworkmod Recovery by holding volume down at boot.
Is there a different r8_update or r* debranding .zip file I should use for Yoigo, instead of the one there linked for De-Orange-ifying? Does it matter?
Also, before I tried to rebrand, I backed up my ROM with ROM Manager.
I think I see that file is advanced-recovery in the clockworkmod recovery screen.
Should I use advanced-restore, select the ROM I backed up, and then choose one of these: restore boot, system, data, cache, sd-etx options? Which option should I choose? Or should I use non-advanced restore, or restore zip from sd card -> install /sdcard/update.zip (what is that?) ?
And then, when I have my phone back, what debranding ROM can I properly use for Yoigo?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
I got my Hero not to long ago and realized that it has no Marketplace. I worked out that this is because the device is from South East Asia and the marketplace is unavailable. I am running 2.73.728 (typo in the title)
How can I root my device and get the Marketplace? I've tried the Unlockr's method but when using Flashrec I get an error (Backup FAILED: Image is invalid.)
If someone could point me in the right direction, and perhaps explain how I could successfuly root my phone, it would be much appreciated.
I'm quite new to HTC and am unclear on how this all works.
Thanks guys.
You will need to downgrade to flash the recovery image
I have a South East Asian device as well, although mine is the Singaporean one which came with the Market app installed. The instructions here let me downgrade to 2.73.405.5, which let me root the phone.
I've since installed MoDaCo's custom ROM on there, but if you just want to run the stock software with root, those instructions are the way to go. (Of course, you can choose to flash any ROM after following them... it's entirely up to you.)
Thanks for that. Turned out that I just had to download the same ROM from the official site, install that, flashrec and follow the instructions.
I think the main problem was that it couldn't make a back up, and I wasn't going to root it without a backup.
Try to follow the instruction from below link

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Android as well, and just like Motleymoo I'm trying to root my Hero, but before that I want to backup my original before flashing. I read instructions on many forums out there and of course everything I could find here on XDA as well but so far no way. It seems this is due to later Build Number after 2.73.4... with further protections from HTC. Couldn't find anything to backup from this build before flashing so far. Any suggestions out there?
Btw, my device is SE Asia as well, bought in Hong Kong a week ago.

hi guys,
i got an optimus 7 with a demo rom, i've read on the Mozart section that the problem was solved by flashing another rom, is there anyone who can help me flash a full operating rom on this device pls??
thanks
First of...How did you get your hands on one. Secondly, why are you still keeping it? Thirdly, I have yet to get bootloader access on my Optimus 7 like you can with the HTC phones, and there are no dumps for the LG rom yet either.
I got one for free from a vendor who cant put it in the shop-window cuz too many criminals in that district.
I just have to "unlock" it and return to the vendor so he can use it like a normal phone.
Flash it..... the flash is simple and explained here... you can also choose the vendor you like more)))

I flashed mine yesterday (from Vodafone to TIM) and now works perfectly.... the procedure on that page have kind of lack of explanations, if you need any help I can explain you better the procedure, I am trying to post a more detailed one there but it's impossible for me because I have less that 10 posts... don't believe the guy that say he fried the phone, maybe he just made something wrong
Hey guyz ... Howz all doing. okie here's the deal. I am new to this whole Windows Phone 7 stuff used to play a lot with the HTC Elfin i had with WM6.1.
Tried a lot of stuff on Transformer too.
Now itz time for Samsung Focus , as my first Windows Phone Device.
I have read countless articles on this forum but still have a few doubts remaining.
1) Can the 8107 Mango bootloader be replaced with MAGLDR or it will screw up the device ?
2) Is it ok to flash MAGLDR & Custom ROM with an external MicroSD card inside ?
3) I cant find anything to backup stock rom and bootloader & restore it back in case if the device is burned. I found 1 or 2 but some report that restore isnt working. Can ny1 help me out with this.
Lastly the phone is on its way to my place so I dont know if it is a 1.3 or 1.4
But i need to get the above questions cleared as I have my xams running and can only giv 1hour fr the unlocking stuff. So just want to clear all the doubts before the phone arrives.
Thanks a lot guyz !!!
*BUMP* Please Help me ASAP Guyz....
That's because when you flash MAGLDR/custom roms, you do it on your own and accept the risks.
And yes, you might not be able to restore. In theory, you should be able to restore after flashing back a stock ROM, but I for one haven't tested/verified that.
Remember, all these are on your own risk

Thanks for the Replies. One last question, say I got a SIM unlocked device and I flash MAGLDR & Custom ROM, will it ask again for an unlock code ?? ....

No it won't.SIM unlocks are not written on the rom or firmware.So it can't be erased by flashing.

I have to redirect that to my sig:
"Before asking questions, please read the Samsung Focus wiki and search the forums!"
Quote from the wiki:
Formatting, Flashing, upgrading, downgrading OS and firwmare doesn't affect Network lock (SIM lock).
Locks are in NVRAM - you do not overwrite this section by flashing firmware or formatting.
If the device is already SIM unlocked, flashing/updating/downgrading/formatting/etc the ROM will keep the phone unlocked.
Thanx a lot for all the help will flash tango tnite
Hoping not to brick my newly acquired device
Installed MAGLDR
Installed CleanROM !!
Profit!!
Hi peeps, I've asked this in a couple of threads but the posts look a little dead.
I need help which i know the answer is out there somewhere but mostly in Spanish. Thats what it seems when it comes to the ZTE devices.
Ok so i rooted my L2 and put a custom recovery on that I first come across but never used before Carliv Touch 2.2.
I made a back up and then found a KK ROM. I installed the ROM but it didn't give me any UK network, so I used my back up and all was fine.
A couple of weeks later I done a stupid thing and completely wiped my device android along with it. I can still get in to the recovery but my backup says MD5 mismatch. I downloaded a custom ROM to my desktop and tried to sideload it in but that kept on failing.
I need help please, I have no idea what is going on. I know a little about these things but not so much when it comes to MTK devices.
Can anyone help, If someone can do a lil step by step for me with links to what I would need, I would be very grateful.
There's loads of tut's on the web but all in Spanish with links to firmware for their networks.
Again...... Please and Thanks
Hi guys!
I have been searching the forums for a week now.
Here is the question:
What information do I need about my phone and how do I choose the right ROM?
I have some issues with WiFi after a factory reset and think that flashing ROM would help.
Does the phone model matter? I have ALE L21, but does it really matter and why?
Some guys say that the region is also very important.
I have also seen some marks like b551 and EMUIs of different kind.
So, how do I start?
Which info do I get first?
Which tools do I need? I unlocked my bootloader with ADB , but seen that now I need minimal ADB because the old one does not support large files.
Back on HTC I used TWRP, but now I see some Huawei extractors (???).
Can you point me to a page where I can get everything? Please?
