HI EVERYONE. Basically I've made a bit of a booboo as I read that
"The SFII, T-Mobile Vivacity, ZTE Crescent and ZTE Blade S are all the same."
SO I got a bit greedy and installed
Obviously its not for my model phone (my phones a crescent) and Clockwork recovery no longer boots.
Whenever I try to boot booloader/fastboot I get the Android logo and the front LED stays on red.
However ParanoidAndroid OS loads fine
I've tried re-installing via the clockwork app but get the same android and red LED on reboot
I was going to try getting clockwork back by doing this
but I cant find that option under Paranoid Android
I've also tried this
clockinstall.bat finds the phone but AGAIN I get the same problem on reboot
Same thing also happens with Fastboot Flasher
Also tried doing this Same problem
Holding power and + brings the same screen
Holding power and - same screen etc
It seems it like it cant boot anything other than the OS
.........Dunno.......Out of ideas
Sweets and a big thank you for the person who can get clockwork recovery back!

rooted phone. went well Installed rom
not so well.
Holding home and power brings me to a "Android System recovery Utility"
I think what i did wrong was i installed two different types of roms on to my G1 unwittingly. So now all that happens is it stays on the G1 screen and doesn't change. Left it charging overnight and stayed on that screen
Is there a way to access and rectify via console option.
Please help
If you have recovery, you should be fine. Just flash your favorite image and wipe your userdata.

Holding Home + Power is supposed to take you into the recovery image.
At the bottom of your recovery image does it say Amon Ra 1.5.2 or 1.6.2 or something like that?
If your phones rooted then just wipe and reinstall you rom.
Like lets say your doing the new cyanmod
you apply zip
DR83
With out rebooting apply zip
Cyanmod-rom 1.4xxxx
If it boots back into Android System recovery Utility just hold home and back again.
Give it time to write its radio and its first time rebooting it says on the boot screen for a awhile some longer then others.
This site has always helped me its better to see the instructions rather then read them.

I'm having an irritating problem.
I've rooted my wife's Gen 1 Orange SF with Androot, even repeated it when I started having problems to make sure the root had worked. SuperUser is installed and working so I know it has gone OK.
I've installed Recovery Manager v0.36, which has root access.
The current recovery is listed as "unrecognised"
I flashed the following CWM - recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.1-blade-gen1.img (MD5 checksum correct)
I get an "installing" message, then back to the Recovery screen and the recovery is still listed as "unrecognised".
One of the guides I found on Modaco is quite specific about using Recovery Manager v0.34 (though I suspect it just hasn't been updated with the latest release) so I've also tried this using that version and no joy.
So... I thought I'd try the FASTBOOT method. I turn the phone off, remove and replace the battery. Turn the phone on whilst holding the up volume button, and the phone just boots up normally. I've tried this repeatedly, I don't get the big grey square that people report when FASTBOOT fails, I just get no response at all.
Grrrrr!
Any thoughts?
Hmm, when you power up holding volume up key (held for a couple of seconds) does you phone show a static green android logo, or does it boot up fully to the lockscreen?
If only to the android logo, means you're in fastboot.
Edit: you can replace the green android logo with Orange's logo in the above comment if you haven't flashed an alternate ROM on the phone as yet.
I also had the same while trying to flash a recovery to my friend's Blade. I understood that i have been flashing the wrong recovery all this time (though it showed for gen1 and i had a gen1). I used the given recovery(link provided below), and it worked for me like a charm. Use the link download on root of sd card. Use recovery manager to install it. If the recovery manager shows that it has identified the cwmod version then its done or else if it again says unrecognised try different versions of cwmod.
Preferably after getting cwmod to working convert your gen1 to gen2 (wbaw method). Then you can flash a custom rom and use ROM manager to upgrade your cwmod recovery.

He hasnt been able to install CWmod yet so no green logo will appear. Due to unrecognised version only DELL logo appears and hangs or it reboots normally. And yes FASTBOOT is not enabled in gen1 devices so thats why i say to convert to gen2 as soon as possible.
Hi Be4con,
I flashed a batch of 10 blades the other day, and wrote my own little guide for it. I had exactly the same problem as you with the first two i tried to flash.
The guide on modaco does work, but i found i had to use a much older version of clockwork mod. I used 2.5.0.8 (if i remember correctly) not at work just now so cant see my notes. This was picked up by the recovery no problems and i was able to move on from there.
Hope that helps
Hi
You have try to flash directly to your device with a terminal emulator
type SU
accept SuperUser autorisation
type flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_xx_xx.img (you find the good version on the recovery on internet)
reboot your phone with volume + down
if you have any problem to find the fine recovery or to flash the recovery contact me on pv . this method work with my zte gen1
I've been rooted for quite some time now, was always using axiom, today I decided to try something new, I flashed via twrp ROM and gapps, twrp said no root, installed superuser? I swiped yes, phone booted to Google screen, but now is the stupid part,
Keeps boot looping there, absolutely no boot loader when trying to boot into it, computer won't read device, just says android with a yellow exclamation mark and says the drivers are incorrect or something, I cannot fast boot because of this, when trying to enter boot loader it just gores to Google screen goes black then flashes red light,
Is this fixable? Will JTAG work maybe (last resort), anybody who has the time to help will be my hero haha, I work in a few hours so I won't be back until the afternoon, but please anyone!
Oh and phone isnt unresponsive, still vibrates, still charges and still boots google logo,
Just remeber i cant flash stock img files due to not being abke to use fastboot:/ unless there is a way to get the computer to read my phone
Thanks in advanced to people who reply,

Hey guys, but of an emergency here...
I'm stuck at the LG logo after flashing the Pacman ROM with the latest unofficial CWM, and it seems to have failed at Formatting system. All four touch buttons on the bottom were blue, as if they had been pressed and highlighted. No response from anything.
Reboot. Then it got stuck on the LG logo. I can't access CWM anymore, holding power + vol down does nothing, I just go back to the logo. I'm running a D802.
This was a pretty standard flash for me, I have done this many times, so I was confident in it, but now have no way back into a phone I desperately need within hours.
Process went as follows;
Full wipe, format, initialize install, it failed/crashed/whatever, rebooted, now stuck on logo, unable to access CWM, and obviously unable to access ROM.
USB Debugging was on, but as the ROM doesn't exist anymore, not sure how much help that'll be.
I'll gladly go back to either CWM or TWRP, as well as stock ROM or whatever. I can sort all that out later, right now just need things back in running order.
Edit1: I can't even turn it off. It simply boots up again, so now also worried of damaging display or battery.
Edit2: It's not showing after entering "adb devices". List is empty.
ANY help appreciated.
I'm running Windows 8, and no, I will not be able to reinstall to W7 or Ubuntu.
Thank you
I bought this tablet for my son. It has CM9 on it and many of the functions do not work correctly. I have tried to get into CWM and even tried installing it and I cannot get it to work so I can update the firmware so that all the functions work like they should. I would be happy to install the stock ROM if possible but I'm completely lost.... When I boot and push the up vol button a message on the top left of the screen says booting into recovery image but it just sits there and when I select reboot into recovery or boot loader the tablet just boots back into the cm9 rom. I have searched for days and I'm more confused than ever.
