How to flash custom roms. All methods

Hi friends. I have a gen2 Dell xcd35 400mb ram froyo stock rooted with z4root modded for blade. I tried flashing cwm recovery latest 5.0.2.0 using rom manager, but whenever i booted in recovery using rom manager i got the stock recovery which stinks. So , i need your help in flashing any nice custom rom preferably cyanogenmod. So, how do i do it using windows or another method? And plz provide me the links for the drivers i need and yeah the stock recovery interface and the screenshot are vertically inverted:banghead:
Thanks in advance

What happened to my arc S?

Hello fellow xda forumers, i have a problem with my arc s. it starts like this, a few hours ago i unlocked my bootloader. Then after i unlocked it, i tried to flash a kernel to my arc using fastboot but i assumed it was failed since it took forever with *waiting for device* message . The problem is, after i did all those things, now i realised that my phone can't connect/install MTP driver when i plug in via usb and worst is, my home button is not functioning ! Could someone please help me fix this problem? i just got my arc S a few days ago, i'm so loss now

Reflash it with FlashTool to fix it.

Have you checked USB debugging?
For drivers, try these.
And post in the correct section.

You can flash the kernel inside the package using fastboot and the ROM using CWM.

If you want to install CM7, which you have downloaded, you have to push kernel in your device by using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" inside fastboot folder.
Then boot into CWM and install *.zip file from sdcard.

Before flashing ROMs etc better get it working before and flash stock fw with FlashTool.
Also, there's a chance to kill the device when flashing custom stuff, so better do some research before starting without (much) knowledge.

My phone:
Zte Blade
Android-version: 2.3.5

@OP,Have you tried rooting via ADB or fastboot?
I have the same question even though its not a practical problem for me because I've seen a couple of people having problems rooting their Blades that have 2.3Gingerbread sold with them or upgraded to it.

Man i had exacly same problem today! i think the whole forums know that.
I did a tpt. I downloaded a GEN3 V.2 tpt and downloaded and puted it on Sd root and turned off my cellphone and hold volume+ + menu + power on.
Then i got CWM on. without any ROM. So i installed Cyanogenmod i had no signal. SO i installed 2.3.5.bin. and now am on the start.

You need a gen2 tpt... either gen2 v2a or gen2 stock from here... http://amphoras.co.uk/index.php/downloads/blade-tpts#g2v2a or tpt helper app. you'll need the stock version to be able to install ics roms.

After you download the TPT Helper app,you can choose your own sizes for the 3 partitions,system,data and cache and then follow the TPT procedure.. Search for TPT in the Blade forums.. You'll find a guide.. Its tough for me to link you to one,I'm not on my PC..
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium

Or when you are done installing tpt helper open it and press all in one and choose GEN 2 stock and let it download it and that **** after when says its finisched turn off ure zte blade and start it with holdinh vol + and menu button. When thats finshed it will start into clockworkmod. Tell me when u are there!!!!

Why do all phones have to be different!?
On Sony Xperia Arc S I had to do a lot of stuff before I could flash a ROM
but on ZTE Skate I only had to put the ROM I wanted on the SD card and then just download TPT Helper from Play Store and then reboot in CWM recovery!
I'm trying to help my friend root his ZTE Blade but it's so hard and there's so much to know about the phone before you begin like Baseband, what GEN it is and what build number it has!
I thought the TPT Helper was for ZTE Blade too but I can't find any good Guide here on XDA or on MoDaCo!

First root ur phone by downloading z4root file available in first page of this thread then download ROM manager and select first option..flash clock word mod. Then download ROM and gapps whichever u want to install. Then reboot into recovery by pressing vol- and power key. Then wipe data..wipe cache...wipe dalvic cache in advance. Then install ROM from SD card and then install gapps. That's it

Create flashable zip of B518

Hello,
as the title says, I would like to know if it would be possible to create a flashable zip of the stock gingerbread, so I can further update to aurora. As I said before my usb port is broken, so I would like to know if it was possible to create a way of having the basis of B518 rom, without removing the custom recovery possible in 2.2 .
Regards,

Can't you just download the gingerbread update directly to your phone and make a dload folder using a file manager on the phone?

Yes I could do that, the problem is that it erases the custom recovery, and since there's no way of putting it up on 2.3.5 without using USB, I'm stuck on the original rom :/

Ahh now I see you're problem. Sadly i don't have any ideas on that. Good luck tho!

Go to Focalprice and buy a cheap SSK branded microSD reader then just copy the files via your computer
