Read wbaw post.
TPT is set of files (or image file) that can restore unit to basic function. There are GEN1, GEN2 and GEN3 files. GEN1 TPT is bunch of files in image directory on root of sdcard, GEN2 and 3 (if I'm not mistaken) id image file.
To flash TPT copy image to sdcard, pop it in phone and then hold vol+ and menu buttons, then press power on button. Device should show that it is flashing tpt (green text or progress bar).
All is explained in wbaw post.

Basically, wbaw is wrong on gen3.
NO TPT will work on a gen3 other than the windows flasher TPT for gen3 or an original 2.3+ rom.
Both gen2 and gen3 use image.bin for TPT but they are NOT the same.
Do NOT flash a gen2 TPT on a gen3 phone or you WILL end up with FTM mode and windows flasher and more often than not you WILL have to restore your IMEI manually.
MAKE SURE your phone didn't come with GB rom, if it did, it's not possible to use ANY gen2 TPT's.
You have been warned.
Since the guy has a gen1, it'll work just fine.
Thanks
I apreciate the reply but the phone doesn't enter in tpt mode. It kinda frezzes the first second its on. It appens the same as this guyi can't put youtube full link just add the youtube.com\) watch?v=CMoywaWRQhA.
I saw this Swupdate thing on other posts. Can I use it on a blade or its restricted to samsung?

Don't ever use anything made for another phone on your phone.
There is the equivalent for Blade known as the windows flasher, there is a thread about it over at modaco.
You can try that out.
SAD
I saw that windows flasher thing but It doesn't work. Neither TPT did. I think I only have 2 chances: Buy a JTAG equipment
OR
Return it to warranty.
I think Im going to the second one
reboot phone holding down volume button if it goes in recovary than download any custom rom to sd using computer and install check if this works best of luck

You're the first person to mention gen3
Anyway, if your phone was gen3 then you'll need a gen3 tpt...

Guys,
First of all, hello to all! So, I followed a tutorial to install Froyo on my Defy. Now I'm stuck with my phone trying to boot as soon as i put the battery on, but it never makes it past the "M". I can get into recovery. I wiped data, cache and tried to install the "update.zip" but it aborts saying "signature verification failed." I have the boot file (that was the next step) to install using RSDlite 4.9 but the phone is not even recognized any of my USB ports. Any ideas? Thanks to all in advanced.
press volumn up buton and power button on boot , once you saw the backlit is on , release the button , you will see the rsd litle showing your usb .
dont worry . i think it is your first time to use RSD only
yea i been through that ( doesnt work on vista )
you need to install rsd lite and 2.51 UK Firmware ( no usa )
google it and you will find it or on this forum
install usb driver from motorola webiste
install rsd lite
put uk firmware in ... C drive/ program files / motorola / rsd lite
install driver
If your phone is stuck on " M " then pull battery out
turn on and quicky press power + vol up ( i think ) before M even appear
wait till it say your boot loader and your battery
plug phone in
start rsd lite
on ... look up your uk firmware that you you recently put in rsd lite folder
then you should see your phone connected on the 1 slot
then hit start or something and wait it out .
Thanks guys! But I've been messing around with this thing for so long, I drained the battery. I had to run it up to the local phone store to get it charged. I'll pick it up in a couple of hours and give your advice a try.
Hey guys! it worked! I'm up and running. Now, anyone has a link to bypass this Welcome to Motoblur screen. Is there a Custom Froyo or Gingerbread Rom out there without Motoblur?
Alright... I'm up and running, but no camera!!! Heck, it was a learning experience. I guess I'll go back to 2.1 now. LOL
So the Chinese ROM was rooted. I installed Clockworkmod and restored from the backup i had made of the original 2.1 OS. I'm back to a rebooting phone not making it past the "M" I went back to RSDlite and realized the boot file said 2.2 only. Can anyone assist me finding the right one to go back to original. I haven't been able to find a thread about reverting back to original.
The more I read, the smarter I get seems like the only thing I'm missing here is the SBF file for my original T-Mobile OS. I'm looking at the motorola website, but I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks all! Oh yeah, this is the first android phone i mess with so my apologies.
There is no us sbf file. You have to flash a uk version and restore 3g with the posted fix. You can find the links to available sbf files on this forum. They are not available thru moto's site.

Just to make sure I got it right. After using clockworkmod to restore to my factory backup, I need to use the UK sbf to be able to boot to it. Correct?
I found the sbf for Central Europe with no Motoblur. Does anyone know of any issues with it?
well the only way to fix this if you previously backed up your rom/files with recovery ( good thing i did this ). If not then you have to live with what you got.
I backed up my original firmware using clockworkmod. I flashed to the Chinese 2.2 but my camera didn't work. Since the camera is important to me, the Chinese Froyo was a deal breaker. I installed clockworkmod again and "recovered" from my original backup but now my defy won't boot. Did I miss a step?
Your data from the backup may cause issues when rolling backwards. Install an eclair sbf, then restore. That worked for me.
On another note there is a fix for the camera. Check the forums.

Just try and install the Motorola Drivers in your desktop and open RSDLite and press 'show devices' button. It will surely show the details of your phone.
Then point RSDLite to the stock SBF and flash away.

Thanks! Vignesh. But i have drivers installed. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. But did not help
Edit:
I missed to mention. My defy did not connect to desktop even before bricking.

If you hear the USB plugged in sound in your Pc, it's a messed up driver installation. If you don't hear the sound, it can be a bad cable, or a faulty microusb port (assuming that your pc usb works fine). Try once in a different pc and with a different microusb cable.

I do not hear any sound from desktop/laptop.
I think I stuck in boot loop. When I try to power on the phone, it just shows CM7 boot logo for few seconds then restarts again shows the boot logo... this happens continually. When I try to enter into recovery, it does not go to CWM recovery instead it goes to stock recovery. I am still able to enter into boot loader. In boot loader, it says battery OK connect USB to program. When I connect USB, it is recognized by phone and says transfer mode: USB. But my PC does not shows up the phone.
I tried re-installing drivers and RSDlite many times but no luck. But I have nandroid backup of CM7. Is there any possibilities to enter into CWM recovery?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
I tried even different USB cables and PCs also.
Hi! I have a bricked ZTE Libra (Sapo A5 in Portugal) and no mather how much I search for solutions I only seem to make things worse, so I was hoping someone here could help me.
Things started to go wrong after flashing a CyanogenMod rom. Everything worked except two things: I couldn't use anything that required my SIM card (so no phone or messaging) and I could not access the recovery screen (clockworkmod).
Without the recovery screen, I turned to ROM Manager but since it uses clockworkmod to do its work it didn't help.
Then I started trying other ways to recover my phone, until I tried ADB which allowed me a shell in my android. But then I broke it all by doing "wipe system" which cleaned my system of everything that was still working and left me with an expensive brick.
Now all I can do is boot until I see the green droid. If I don't press the volume buttons it goes into "device" mode and I can see it listed under "adb devices" but have no idea what to do with it.
If I press the volume button down to go into recovery mode it keeps flashing but never really goes anywhere.
If I press it up to go into the bootloader it stays the same and the only thing I can use to tell me something is different than the normal mode is that lsusb reports the vendor as "Google Inc." instead of what it reports in normal mode: "ONDA Communication S.p.A.".
With this I'm not even sure if I can get to the bootloader or not, but even if that is the bootloader, I have no idea what to do with it that might help me recover my phone.
By the way, I'm trying all this on Linux, although I could try solutions in Windows if required.
Can anyone tell me what can I do in this situation?
Ok, maybe my first post wasn't that easy to answer, so I'll make a simpler question to see if someone can help me.
What can be done at my android's bootloader? What is it for and what tools do I need to use to do it?
You could try installing ClockworkMod recovery using wbaw's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257 Once that's installed you should be able to flash a new rom with it.
In bootloader mode you can flash a new kernel or recovery image using fastboot.
If you follow that guide that I wrote & Amphoras linked to then you should be able to get a working clockworkmod installed and then you can use that to flash a working rom, or restore a backup.
Thank you both, I'll try what you said as soon as I can and then I'll let you know if it worked!
Ladies and gentleman, today a miracle happened, my ZTE came back from the dead!
Apparently the problem was that I installed some GEN2 applications on my GEN1 model.
I found this while reading the tutorial you suggested, after which I upgraded my ZTE to GEN2 which allowed me to slowly recover everything else.
So, I have to say, thank you very much, and I hope I won't need your help again anytime soon! xD
Guys, MODS, All helpers.
I nearly read a lot of thread here HOW TO ROOT ZTE BLADE S, But nothing work.
I've Android 2.3.5. Dont know where to start, I Install Z4root (nothing happen) I install rom manager, didnt giving me access to root. Install su it do nothing. :crying: Im lost.:crying:
I even dont know how to adb, I install, sdk, all zte drivers, fastboot, but how to............
Step by step please. Thanks for all help from all of U Friends
First download from here then create an folder with name 'image' all in small at the root of the sdcard.then unzip the downloaded file to the image folder.the path and should be like this
sdcard>image>image.bin
then take out you phone's battery and start it with the combination of MENU+UP VOLUME KEY the green text will appear and will end with a error messege.dont worry it will automatically boot into the clockworkmod recovery and then flash any desired rom which is already rooted.!!!!

No. No. and none.
I weren't running any roms or anything, but i have tried to root it with z4root and gingerbreak (etc..) a million times...
Your best bet mate is to get into fastboot (should be doable since you're getting to the splash screen), flash a custom recovery and then a custom rom, although this does void your warranty, I think its worth it though. What android version was your phone on before the problems started?

if he installs stock rom and unroots then it should be fine and he will keep his warranty

I dont quiet know how to do that
I was on 2.3.5 have 2gen stock rom
how do i get into fastboot then?
To get clockworkmod on, so you can flash your stock rom, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353526
Download fastboot and adb files, grab them either from the android website but through the sdk, or just Google adb and fastboot files and you'll be fine.
Then boot into fastboot by turning your phone on with the volume up button held down. It'll stay at the splash screen, connect to the PC and it should install drivers automatically.
Download the recovery image by googling clockworkmod zte blade. You want 5.0.2.0, it's the latest.
In the command prompt change directory to where your adb and fastboot files are. Then type 'fastboot flash recovery *nameofrecovery*.img'. Then 'fastboot reboot'. Power off the device after and boot into recovery by powering on with the volume down button held. Then flash your stock rom.
Hope this helps, i know it could be better but I'm at a BBQ so on my phone and can't link stuff easily, if you need more help, i can do it tonight. Others I'm sure will help too

ZTE Blade does not respond at all
My ZTE Blade does not respond at all.
I have tried to install the official update from android 2.1 - 2.2 using this official application from ZTE
( ztedevices official site -> downloads -> Greece -> smartphone ->Blade)
It stopped in the middle of the process and after that I cannot use neither Power&volume(+) nor Power+volume(-) nor Power.
It looks completely dead.
Battery is fully charged,
When connected to charger, back button does not get red.
When connected to computer does not show android logo.
I have copied gen1 to gen 2 image folder to sd... nothing
gen2 to gen 1 the same.
I have also tried the AIO-BLADE application no respond to any action.
I have been searching this forum and the internet for 2 days now. No one answers cases whith hardbricked phones.
I think the phone is out of warranty.
PLZ it is my only smartphone and there is no money for a replacement, I am unemployed.

ok so i have a pretty big problem and very minimal experience with flashing and rooting. Reading and studying many many forums i have peiced together what i have done wrong to do brick my tablet. So to begin a few days ago i managed to wipe my stock recovery and flashed a non existant one, reason being is i didnt download a recovery and unzip it in the required folder. the following day i had it rooted, that was successful. i installed an app from the android market which required root access and a reboot. It is now in bootloop on the "Asus Inspiring Innovation Persistant Perfection" Recovery results in the "Dead Andriod" screen. i have tried flashing using easy flasher but i cant get into APX mode to do so. if i exicute apx mode and plug the usb into the pc i dont get a response, but if have the cable already plugged in and exicute apx i hear chimes and i get "win 7 apx drivers not installed" i tried easy flasher and successfuly flashed WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher asus stock rom however it still stuck in bootloop. i tried the recovery feature that came with easy flasher but that still result in bootloop when i boot from recovery. i have tried many recovery mods and none seem to work. im doing something wrong i just need someones help getting me out of this i dont want to make anymore mistakes. i have done enough damage. im taking this as light as possible, im a noob i watched the xda noob video and i read a t101 guide on a thread here on this website. many thanks for caring about a strangers issues.

Try this:
Open page with EasyFlasher
Download EasyFlasher
Restart your device into APX (power off than power on while holding volume up - screen will turn black and it will look like off)
Connect your tablet to windows computer. If you already have APX drivers just continue with next step. If don't, windows probably show you info that they didn't find proper driver. Just download APX driver (link on Easy Flasher page), open device manager on windows, right click on APX (it will have exclamation mark next to it) and choose update driver and select manual location to location where you extracted apx drivers.
Download the latest ASUS stock firmware (link also on Easy Flasher page)
Choose Flash Asus stock zip / Unbrick and select location of downloaded stock
When finished, click on flash button in Recovery area.
reboot and pray
