So far all custom ROMs are ported from N1(MIUI,CM,ICS..)SO I think U will have better chances.Or u could try to get some apps working on x10 so u will have sense as UI an sense an semc apps.I got some sgs 2 apps working.Only widgets are problem(I get FC on desk clock and then SGS widget clocks,weather clock...won't work).

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

Because of that best solution would be to get some apps working,modding framework,theming..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Amin`:
really?!:confused:then it is impossible...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sjondenon:
yeah port from the N1, also a qsd8250 so that makes things easier

who knows was it jerpela or bin4ry who made it? i think it was sense 2.1??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] a1exander:
It was jerpelea! And yes, sense 2.1.. or maybe 2.2.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sjondenon:
yeah, it was sense 2.1 with android 2.1, I used it for a day and it was really smooth and fast but no wifi/3g, no radio etc. etc..

Do u have link never tried sense but this thread is for porting sense right?

I can reupload Sense_00001.zip from Jerpelea (FXP) if someone is interested. Still have it in my X10 ROM collection.

edit:

Here you go:

all credits go to jerpelea of course. I hope he doesn't mind me re-uploading this here.

Guys! What do you think about this:
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] pheel:
yes sense is closed source, so jerpelea gave up on it and wrote CM7. furthermore, sense UI takes a nice 500mb ram, which our phones don't have. I have a sensation, and the free ram is only 250 MAX. when it has ~750 MB....

[Blade General] wbaw:
This method doesn't rely on any root exploits & will work with any Android version on the ZTE Blade (and all variants). It should work on any phone with an unlocked bootloader (all zte android devices are sold with unlocked bootloaders).

Software needed:

adb (windows/linux/mac versions available as part of the android sdk - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html You will find adb in the tools directory.)

fastboot (windows/linux/mac versions available here: http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/ )

windows drivers for the phone (if you use windows: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1000442 )

ClockworkMod (http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager - download zte blade clockwork recovery image)

SuperUser ( http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Download Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread/Honeycomb (2.1 – 3.2) version) - Alternatively you can use any rooted custom rom

If your phone is running Android 2.1, then it is probably a 'gen1' device, search for "Mr Pigfish" on Android market if you're unsure. Gen1 blades will need an older version of clockworkmod, 3.0.1.4 - http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.4-blade.img

Method:

Download/install adb & fastboot. Install drivers for the phone if needed (on Windows).

Plug your phone into your pc using the usb cable, mount usb storage, then copy the Superuser or custom rom zip onto it & unmount usb storage.

Make sure that usb debugging is enabled on your phone, there should be an icon in the status bar, you can enable it in settings (settings -> applications -> development -> usb debugging).

Open a command terminal window & change to the directory that you downloaded recovery-clockwork-[version]-blade.img to. Type...

adb reboot bootloader

This will make the phone reboot, wait for the android logo (or custom splash screen) on the phone then type...

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-blade.img
fastboot reboot

You have just installed ClockworkMod recovery. Your phone will reboot back into android, when it has done that turn it off, then turn it on with the vol- button held to start clockworkmod. Use vol+/- to navigate, home button to select an option, back button to go back. You should create a backup now before you flash anything, when that backup is complete use 'install zip from sdcard' to either install superuser to root your stock rom, or install a custom rom. If you're installing a custom rom then you'll need to wipe data/factory reset too (you will lose all data). reboot, you're done.
[Blade General] wbaw:
I'm not sure if this is the right section for the thread, it'd probably be better in blade general. I forgot that newbies can't reply here.

Anyway, for those that can reply, can you suggest any improvements? I'll find links for adb, fastboot & windows drivers later.
[Blade General] Firya:
Everything is clear except where to find adb and fastboot for noob users... (like me).

I did a little search and found out that adb is installed with the Android SDK... so, i installed it, installed the android platform-tools package, the usb driver but i am stuck with fastboot...

There is no fastboot in the Android SDK installation directory... and i can't find it on the web... so, i can't install clockworkmod recovery and i'm stuck... ;)

Can u help me plz ?
[Blade General] wbaw:
Yeah, as I said, I'm still looking for links. you get fastboot when you compile android from source, but that is a bit of a long & complicated way.

Here is a pre-compiled version of fastboot for windows, linux & macos http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/

adb works without the sdk too, I'll see if I can find links for that.

The windows driver is on zte's site somewhere, but that's a pain to find anything on. I'm not sure if the Google driver works. I don't even run windows, so if anybody can help write that part...
[Blade General] unrandomsam:
Probably best to for XP use the exe driver installer (Thats in the pcsuite.iso in the official 2.3.5 rom)

Windows 7 just works (gets drivers from windows update).

Does the superboot apk deal with changing default.prop (to allow adb remount etc).

If not could do that (use the same thing the CM7 universal converter uses to split the boot.img).
[Blade General] wbaw:
Not everybody is running the official 2.3.5 rom, it's probably a tiny fraction of users. 2.1 roms don't have the driver iso. I found the drivers & updated the first post. The drivers on the phone should work fine, if you are running an unmodified 2.2 or 2.3 stock rom, just plug the phone in & it should mount a driver cd image over usb to install the drivers.

It's superuser, it's a clockworkmod zip file & no, it doesn't change default.prop. It installs superuser & su.

Tell ChainsDD, it isn't my software, I just wrote a quick idiot's guide.
[Blade General] irishpancake:
Hi wbaw....

nice to see you posting helpful stuff here....:)

Can I ask what is perhaps a silly question, about the rooting process for ZTE devices, without relying on root exploits?

How is this different, or better, than using the z4Root modified by kallt_kaffe App, which I have linked (MoDaCo).

Is it just the use of the exploit, or is there another reason?

I have used it on my OSF/Blade, and never lost root or had any other problem, AFAIK.

Also, I see you are not showing your previous GEN1/Gen2 all-in-one TPT for GSF any more...is it available any more for ppl who may want to try it?

Thanks in advance
[Blade General] wbaw:
The exploit that z4root uses doesn't work on newer versions of Android (2.2.2 & above), ZTE are selling some phones with these newer versions of Android.

If z4root works for you, then that's fine, there's nothing wrong with it. It just doesn't work for everybody.

If you are using a version of Android that z4root (or other root exploits) do work on, then you should update Android asap. Otherwise a malicious app could use the same exploit to take over your phone. Root exploits themselves aren't bad (as long as you're doing it to your own device, or with permission of the owner) - the fact that root exploits work is bad & a sign that you need to update the software asap.

GSF has it's own thread. You can get the same effect by using the gen1 to gen2 tpt & then installing gsf. It is buggy & old, I think there is a nasty remote root exploit out there for 2.3.4 too. Just use CyanogenMod, it's much better, less buggy, more secure, they keep up with the latest Android fixes & it has more customisation options.
[Blade General] irishpancake:
Thank you for the explanation...I will go ahead and do what you have advised.

I am just continuing to use good old Swedish Spring RLS5, which I think was kallt_kaffe (Cold Coffee) also......GEN 2 thanks to your Gen 1>Gen 2 TPT.

I think t is 2.2.

If I want to proceed to permanently root as you describe, should I use z4root to unroot first?

I will probably move to CyanogenMod, so I should use your exploit-free root instructions first.

BTW, I will be sad to move on from SS, as it does seem to be as near a perfect fit as I have found for the Blade.

I did put on GSF ,some time ago, and to be very honest, I just lasted a night with it, then restored the SS Nandroid.......it didn't feel at all as satisfactory a UI experience as SS.

Perhaps it was me, you know, you get used to an old pair of sneakers, etc. :)

As you said, it was and is always beta...it was an early version!!!

Thanks again, and keep up the good work in these calm(er) waters ;)
[Blade General] wbaw:
Custom roms are already rooted. You don't need to root a custom rom, you just install it with clockworkmod.

If you already have a custom rom installed then you don't need any of this guide, you've already got clockworkmod. All this guide does is tell you how to install clockworkmod.

This is for people with phones on a stock rom who want to be able to install clockworkmod to root their stock rom or install a custom rom.

You shouldn't still be using Android 2.2 because the root exploit in z4root works on it, therefore other more malicious apps could use a similar exploit without asking you first.
[Blade General] irishpancake:

Hi!I have a Zte Blade with 2.3.5 OS. I tried to root my phone using this tutorial, but when i write : "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-blade.img" in Comand Prompt program, i get this message : "error: cannot load : recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-blade.img".

[Blade General] wbaw:
You need to download clockwork recovery & be in the directory that you downloaded it to, to run that command.
[Blade General] stanangel:
Thank you!It works. Now, can I put Cyanogenmod 7.1 on 2.3.5 OS with this root and clocworckmod ?
[Blade General] wbaw:
You can put clockworkmod on, but cm7 might not work without a bit of fixing, it is designed for 2.2 blades, zte's 2.3.5 has a different radio firmware.

Is this a 2.3.5 blade? where did you buy it?
[Blade General] stanangel:
Well, first time i had 2.1 update-1.After that I updated the version to 2.2 Boygues (or something like this) and then i found on this forum the official image.bin (2.3.5) and I decided to update.But now, i want to try CM.
[Blade General] wbaw:
I see, you'll need to use another image.bin to go back to 'gen2' - the zte froyo radio firmware. Otherwise you wont get any phone signal, 3g or gps on CM7 because the 2.3.5 image.bin that you installed contained new radio firmware.

You don't need to root it first, you can install clockworkmod with a gen2 radio firmware using a custom image.bin like this one that http://www.mediafire.com/?jb4crw3em2m4r4x Amphoras made.

The 2.3.5 image.bin contained another new version of the radio firmware, which isn't compatible with CM7.
[Blade General] stanangel:
Uhuuu, it works.Thank you a lot! CM7.1 is awsome.This forum is awsome.

Hey I cant acess adb after doing adb reboot bootloader. When I come to the chinese letter I cant do nothing. So i cant fastboot flash recovery recovery-xxx.img.

What im i doing wrong?
[Blade General] wbaw:
fastboot is different to adb, you shouldnt be able to access adb after you reboot bootloader - because it's in fastboot mode.

What error do you get when you try to fastboot flash ?
[Blade General] tcmixx:
this is what I do.

- Put the Superuse zip on to the SD card.

- adb reboot bootloader

- when the zte screen comes up I do cd C:\users\tommy\downloads\

- Then: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.1.4-blade

I get the message "fasboot is not a internal command, external command, program or commandfile."
[Blade General] Amphoras:
Try fastboot-windows (if you're on windows). Also make sure you downloaded fastboot and have it in the same directory you're running the command from (so C:\users\tommy\downloads\ here)
[Blade General] wbaw:
You need to download & unzip the fastboot executable & put it in the same directory, or in your path.

The link to download fastboot is in the first post, download the win32 version & unzip it in your downloads directory, then try again.
[Blade General] tcmixx:
Okey Thanks. I'll try that. Does this work with 2.3.5 ZTE rom? I want to go back to the stock one 2.2. So is it just to install clockworkmod then flash a 2.2 rom? or do i need to do something else?
[Blade General] wbaw:

So ill just flash that zip file threw clockworkmod or should I use the image to flash via fastboot?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got it to work. I did this to get it to work. Maybe this will help someone. Thanks for the help i have been given above.

- Http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19656812&postcount=18 use the image folder and add to the root of your sd card.

- Then you go into Settings -> About phone -> System Updates -> Memory updates -> Click OK

- You will now boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery. Make Wipe etc..

- Mount SD card. Then use a custom rom or an original rom place it on the root of your sd card.

- Flash from sd card. Restart.

[Blade General] [] AL []:
Thanks Wbaw

I just followed your guide to install CM7 on my gf's chinese Blade and that made her phone alive from what was pretty much a crawling state. Her phone has only 256MB and from that it seems that only 150-160MB of RAM is available for system apps. So CM7 is a clear benefit here compared to the crappy stock rom.

The only thing is that (like you and Amphoras mentioned above) we don't really have to install the fastboot. So maybe this part of the OP should be changed:

"Method:

Download/install adb & fastboot. Install drivers for the phone if needed (on Windows)."

to:

"Method:

- Download/install adb & install ZTE drivers for the phone if needed (on Windows).

- Extract the fastboot.zip and place fastboot.exe in the same folder as you placed to recovery-clockwork-[version]-blade.img to."

Also, I'm not 100% sure if it is really needed, but once we've installed the Android SDK, it warns us that it needs the installation of a JDK. So would a comment about this on the OP required?

Other than that, all good!! and thanks again.

P.S.: I'm kind of pissed to see that her phone -which was 3 times cheaper than my Defy btw- has an unlocked bootloader and mine doesn't [damn you Motorola!].
[Blade General] bluntman420:
Will this work on a ZTE n762? Will clockwork for the blade work for the n762?If clockwork will work then rooting would be easy. I have tried everything for the n762 and it wont root. I have held off at flashing clockwork because i see no way to recover the phone with stock image if it bricks like samsungs odin or lg's emergency mode. Someone please help?
[Blade General] wbaw:
No idea, I don't have an n762.

You'll probably need to make your own clockworkmod either using the kernel from a boot.img extracted from your phone, or by asking whoever you bought your phone from for kernel source code (they're legally obliged to supply it under the terms of the GPL).
[Blade General] bluntman420:
Hey, thanks for helping me out. I do know how to extract the boot.img but dont know the first thing about creating a custom clockworkmod from the phones kernel. Would you please be able to point me in the right direction?It is very appreciated. THANKS
[Blade General] wbaw:
You might even be lucky & the blade version might work. If not try splitting the blade recovery.img & your working boot.img then add the zImage from your phone's boot.img along with the ramdisk from the blade clockwork into a recovery.img. If that doesn't work then you'll probably have to compile clockworkmod & use the zImage from your phone.

The hard bit might be getting the boot.img
[Blade General] bluntman420:
I'll see if i can use the info you provided to come up with something. Thanks alot!

[Blade General] Anicane:

[Blade General] wbaw:
No, only way is to use a backup from another phone from the same operator with the same rom version.

That's why I wrote "You should create a backup now before you flash anything, when that backup is complete..."

If you're lucky then you might be able to find a matching stock rom if you search, but there are lots of different ones.

[Blade General] karthiknr:
Maybe the zip is corrupt. Have you verified the md5 checksums?
[Blade General] wbaw:
If you just rooted your stock rom using this guide then you can just delete /system/app/Superuser.apk using a root file manager (like root explorer or es file explorer) or adb.

If you installed a new rom, or any other addons with cwm, or used root access to change anything else on /system then you should install a fresh stock rom.

You can get a copy of the stock recovery image to replace clockworkmod with from any of the blade froyo stock roms, they should all be the same.

Just a fast question, when i type in adb reboot bootloader

it restarts and freezes.

Tried everythjing! help please. and yes i bean changed directory and those things.
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Lemme guess. It freezes on the green android/dell logo.?

That's the bootloader. When its on the logo, connect to the computer and install the bootloadet drivers then pull the battery and reboot normally
[Blade General] MrKiller2010:
Hi it freeze on the zte logo well how.do i make it work?
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Just pull the battery, wait for 2 min then put it back and reboot. It should work.

If it doesn't, see ur LEDs. If the red led on the back button goes off, it means u can boot into recovery. Just press volume down immediately after pressing power.

If u don't have recovery installed, Matt has a guide in the Blade general section of how to install recovery via adb
[Blade General] MrKiller2010:
I will try it tomorrow, but i am supposed to have usb cable pluged? Cause wheb its plugged and i remove the battery it still on cause its getting power from tha Pc. And im sorry for being a noob :S
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Unplug it when ur trying to boot normally. If it doesn't boot and u have to flash recovery via adb, then plug it into ur computer.

And no worries mate. We were all noobs once. :)
[Blade General] wbaw:
That guide only works if you're already rooted, so it's pointless.
