It's here.

i NEED help
ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
i fist installed the GB 2.3.4 {U8800V100R001C00B518G001} but i did not like it and i installed this ROM {V100R001C00B138SP04CUSTC185D002} thats 2.2.2

ok i found a download that claims to be the new gingerbread miui for impulse 4g users had one tester said its working great on his impulse so i want more testers to confirm it and make a guide for everyone send me your email and ill give ya the link for the download

I haven't had time to install and check out the ROM for my impulse yet. I'm just worried about 4g and wifi connectivity. With my job, having data service on my phone is a must. I know that was a problem with a different ROM for this phone... everything worked except for data and wifi. I guess I'm a little shy to try it as there have been reports of not being able to revert back to Froyo.

Well so far its working on on the first testers phone the second Guy said he is gonna do it when he gets a chance to check it out so hopefully his turns out good

Useless Posts
Why do you guys even keep posting on here with useless information.... I keep
seeing the post over and over about the link to the GB download, and how it worked for 1 guy "who is HE ?" but you do not post the link up to the source.
Then somebody says "oh yeah, i am gonna try it later. will let you know how it goes"...... Then nobody ever posts back their progress. Some people come on here with a purpose of helping Dev's or other people to mod their phones.
If you are not going to follow through with your posts, or post useless information
with no links to what you are talking about..... DON'T POST anything at all.
Thanks,

Edit: I did it! Download this file and first update step 1 and then step 2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ncrnw95th9ekpae
(To start the upgrade I plugged in the phone without battery to the pc while pressing volume up and down)
Now, it is suppose to be downgraded, but it is not booting.. (just operator logo and reboots) but there is no bricking.. I am now trying to update another stock rom froyo posted in this forum.
Edit 2: Secondly, I installed http://www.mediafire.com/?kmh4qbd3v7dslc5 the same way, and its working! but it is u8800pro Froyo. But maybe we have more chances on getting 3g.

I downloaded from a chinese web a stock rom for u8800pro with baseband 203026 (same as u8800-51). I flashed it, and then restored all using clockworkmod files from u8800-51 (also, I replaced all files in pink screen and put the original image files from u8800-51). It worked great! my phone is now u8800-51 froyo again. But I still got no 3g.. Can this be possible? I replaced every file! whats the problem then?
The u8800pro stock rom with u8800-51 baseband is here: http://dl.dbank.com/c0i0gctow9

Sorry if this is another useless post. Now I know I won't upgrade knowing that downgrading won't give you your 4g back. I really wish I could afford to get an Atrix. Thanks for the useful posts about downgrading.

Un-Brick HARD Bricked ZTE Blade

I've Hard Bricked a ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco) after flashing corrupt TPT files.
It will not go into download mode,recovery mode or switch on.
There is no signs of life at all, no LED lights or anything.
they battery is 100% charged.
Windows does not recognise it (Drivers are installed).
All I need help with is forcing it into download mode and I can do the rest from there.
Will a USB jig (300k ohms) work?
Download mode buttons I'm using,
Volume +, Volume - and Power.
Also tried,

Yours would be the first hard brick I've ever seen on a blade. Maybe you should try asking where you purchased it.
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app

Its not mine.
I didn't purchase it.
It's my cousins.
Think he bought it used.
Off Ebay or something like that.
Do you think a mobile repair shop could fix it.
Or is there anything else i can try.
Thanks for all your help.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

Mobile repair shops can in turn spoil it even more IF your device isn't bricked already. My advise would be to keep trying different methods or to open a thread at modaco. Blade users are more active there. Maybe someone can help there.
Sent from my ZTE Blade using XDA app

You'll need Jtag equipment, another working blade & you'll need to know how to use Jtag. Some mobile phone shops may be able to fix it, especially if they sell second hand orange san franciscos. If you can't even get the charging LED to light or download mode, then nothing else will fix it. Probably going to cost you about £20 to get somebody to fix it for you (I can't - don't have the equipment), or more for the jtag equipment (which can also be used to fix similar problems with other devices).
I broke my phone with a bad TPT when I was experimenting to try to create the gen1-to-gen2 TPT, flashed the wrong combination of files. It's always a (small) risk when you're flashing low level firmware like that, TPT is the safest method, but things can still go wrong & break your phone beyond easy repair.
Need to read the guides fully & make sure that you take all precautions (like checking the md5) before any TPT, to minimise the chance of it happening.
There was a German guy on Modaco who'd fix phones using Jtag if you posted it to him & paid (I think €20), I can't remember his username & don't know if he's still there, since I'm banned from Modaco.

Think it would be easier getting a new zte blade theyre not that expensive now

They're still selling for over £50 on ebay. Go to your nearest independent/second hand phone shop & see if they can do anything, it should be cheaper than buying another. They'll need to have a spare san francisco, jtag equipment & the knowledge to use it.
Either that or sell the old one for spares/repair.

Hey, did you manage to unbrick?

I have un-bricked my blade
heres how I did it.
next to the camera on the back of the phone there is a little hole. in that little hole is a button (you will need a pin to press it).
well I pressed that button and it allowed me to put my phone into DFU mode, it allows you to do step five of this: This
Anyway hope this helps you
P.S I had the same problems as the OP

stuck on ics leak a501can't flash bootloader

Its been like 3 weeks since i've flashed the leak thinking "hmmm" maybe getting the stock bootloader will make it easier to get the unlocked version ( i flashed the a500 leak) obviously i was wrong and since then i tried every possible way ;roll back methods , afterota, nvflash, apx flash tool but the problem is on nvflash and apx flash tool it always gets stuck on a resume mode command... what should i do ? I need seriously help thanks in advance though

Just to make it clearer, i am a rogers (tm) user in canada and my current firmware says 4.0.3 but its the leaked version also i am rooted and busyboxed... i have a windows XP computer and a samsung mirco usb cable for this device... i've tried flashing the new bootloaders since v6 but no luck has been made

Follow this guide to the letter. I had a lot of issues with this until I realized that I wasn't following the directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622425
I used the Blackthund3r method, it is real easy. Download all the packages you want to use. Make sure you have the USB driver loaded and a fresh reboot. Make sure you have your CPUID and use Vache's tool to get your SBK. There are a lot of steps if you miss one you are not going to get it to work. Civato's guide is the easiest I have found to follow.
Good Luck

Thanks for your help, i'm gonna try this

well i wouldnt want to let acer near it after that! Been a few reports of this happening after 'repair'...
Do you have a custom recovery installed...cwm, twrp etc??
civato has a "Official Acer Stock Roms ICS Rooted" thread check it out. D/L as applicable version and put it on yr ext sd card.
Install via cwm!!!
U do have a custom recovery installed??
If not then you will need to flash the unlocked bootloader
There is a 'tool' to help the process called 'afterOTA'
Personally I prefer the manual method via nvFlash but you'll be fine with afterOTA.
You will need the following:
A PC
A good quality micro usb cable.
The Acer Drivers and adb and fastboot from the android sdk.
Drivers installed correctly
a fully charged or at least 70% battery
the flash itself takes less than 30 seconds
getting set up to do the flash successfully will take al least an hour usually more!!!! some of us have been stuck for days after 'softbricking'- i lie not!!!!!
So take your time read thru the Guides and follow the steps to the letter - good luck

Ok' I'm going in.
.....
No luck I'm affraid, I've tried everything including all the flash tools. No joy.
It won't work with nvFlash or blackthund3r
Will not boot into recovery. I get the recovery verified failed message.
So now I'm really stuck' looking like acer here I come unless anyone else has any ideas?

trying he alternate root method (blackthund3r)
I'm stuck at stage 2 uploading image. does anyone know how long this should take.
sorry to ask here but i cant post in blackthund3rs topic im a noob

It's on what Samsung gave it, 2.1 Eclair, and it's slow as hell.

I suggest reading the forum. There are some different themes, mods and tweaked roms for each build level. Some are complete other not so much so reading is essential so you don't brick your phone.
Here is a good place to start. the Odin file here downloads and is what I use. Some of the links are broken if they are ask and someone should be able to fix the link or get you the file directly. (I have folders dedicated to the two builds I have worked from either ec09 or eg04).

and another in case you ever decide to take the leap to eg04, the program here is essential for changing softkeys.
