Ok i've found:

I'm unable to test these on the real device, I managed to flash them to my blade so I know the script is ok... but here are the Two STOCK recovery updates I promised...

Life_V9V1.0.0B01-update_signed.zip - MD5: 77d52bbb524a975f1df4085d7d5483cb

OPTUS_V9V1.0.0B10-update_signed.zip - MD5 : 25bbba35307b1c4ced16d074bd620704

They should work with Clockworkmod Recovery.

Anyone care to test them out and post back?

Downloading now!
[Android Software Development] alpha4test:
just flashed optus, now it boot's up and stay's on a loop on "YES Optus" sreen...

adb= waiting for device, fastboot devices ...no show.

it seems each time it gets worst....
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
sure its boot looping ? Because that Optus splash screen takes forever to go away... like up to 1 minute... so slow...

Anyway, even if it is stuck there, you can still tell it to reboot. as soon as you turn it on, you will hear it connect to USB via your computer. as soon as you hear that sound, you can basically issue commands, say like "adb reboot recovery" If you can get back into recovery, try downloading the firmware again in case the download was broken and try again... If ADB is hung on "waiting for devices" control + C will quit adb. Unplug your Tab from the PC, plug it in again and try running ADB again...

And what is this FTM mode? what does it look like?? black screen?, android logo? any menu items? Words on the screen, colour, anything? How are you getting into this FTM Mode? pressing any buttons at boot time? I need to know more about that. It doesnt exist on my device that i know of. I want to try and replicate it so i can figure out how to get out of it.
[Android Software Development] alpha4test:
FTM mode, is used in dome devices suchas nokia for instances- Field Test Mode.

Just press Power and VOL-.

Just loads a Black sreen with no menu and display the text FTM in the center.

5 minutes... seems to long, but more than that the optus boot sreen loads, and seconds after, is just "splashes" again and keeps on a loop

also in windows it's displaying an error: whrn it usually connects: No disk - Exception Processing Message c0000013 paramaters 75b1bf7c(...)
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
Ok. To stop getting into FTM mode, stop pressing buttons when it loads up. If you want to get into recovery/bootloader mode, you have to do it through adb. At the moment there is no button sequence to boot the phone into any mode that i know of. (except now i know FTM)

it takes a long time, but 5 mins is too long...

Sounds like you have an error with windows... you need to get that fixed. My suggestion, disconnect tab, reboot PC, uninstall drivers, reconnect tab, reinstall drivers, reboot.
[Android Software Development] serialmonkey:
If you have Seb404's recovery image loaded correctly then booting into FTM triggers a second reboot that dumps you into recovery. They had the same issue with the Blade (i.e. no button hold got them into the recovery partition) so we inherited that logic.

Hey guys!

Using V9 with

Firmware Version 2.1 -update1

Baseband Version V9B01

Kernel Version 2.6.29 zte-kernel@Zdroid-SMT

Build Number COSMOTE_V9V1.0.0B06 (Cosmote Greek Carrier)

My pc is Windows 7 x64 based.

I had quite a problem on getting the drivers to work and use fastboot or any other flashing software.

What i did is firstly use is

Universal Androot 1.6.2-beta5 installed it from SDCard with Astro File Manager.

Rooted The Tab with a single tap.

Installed ROM Manager (Of Course it has SuperUser rights)

I Chose Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and used any of the devices listed (ZTE is not listed).

I chose the Commtiva Z71 etc which flashes with version 2.5.1.3

Then i flashed it with Hawai Ascend which install version 3.0.0.5

Renamed the "b8_recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-light.img" to "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71" and copied the file.

Then i went to SDCard into folder "clockworkmod\download\koush.tandtgaming.com\recoveries" and replaced the "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-z71" with renamed "light" img.

Back to ROM Manager i flashed it again with Commtiva Z71 which i actually used the "light" image so now i have b8_recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-light.

Note! that rom manager still says i have version 2.5.1.3

Now i'm open on trying some froyo builds to know if they work on the device i guess...

If you have any suggestions you are more than welcome.

Thanks

Link2SD work in ZTE V9?
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
Hi pegaxs, running your apps2sd script and it works well. Gained back quite a bit of space. Your a champ, and keep up the great work.
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
Can confirm this method works, booted into recovery with this method as i couldn't get adb to play nice.
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
have you tried it?
[Android Software Development] mallaccra:
tried to root with androot and z4root but to no avail even though superuser is visible. appreciate if you could list the details how to root this zte v9 light
[Android Software Development] panagiotakis:
Get Universal Androot 1.6.2 beta5. Install and tap on root. It works permanently. z4root roots only temporarily.

To all you talented developers out there!

We have to find a way to get Froyo into V9 Tablet otherwise it will be useless!
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
Dont know about useless... Froyo is coming one way or another. And honestly, there isnt much you are missing out on if we dont get it. Flash, meh, dont use it now i have it on my HTC Desire anyway and i have a work around for using apps2sd that quite a few people have installed that works. What else is missing thats so "useful"?? maybe i will work on porting something over...

So i find that "useless" tag a bit dramatic, don't you ? For the price you paid, Froyo or not, it still is quite a "useful" little gadget :)
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
I have found that the install-recovery.sh scripts do not work on this machine. I dont know why. I have even disassembled the boot.img and added code to init.rc to try and get it to load the install-recovery.sh script. nothing i do gets it to load. This link2sd requires that install-recovery.sh to be operational.

I doubt it will work, but there is no harm in you trying.

I have app2sd working for this device though. But it installs all apps to the ext2 partition. you dont get to pick and choose. Still getting people to test it, if you are interested in app2sd, let me know and i will send you the link to come and test it for me...
[Android Software Development] ngvsousa:
thanks, I tried and works. Is up and running:). But I can test app2sd.
[Android Software Development] SrMoure:
Which version did u try ? i installed v1.05 but i get a FC after the message of ext2 found.

Thankz,

[Android Software Development] SrMoure:
Where can i get the script ? is the method any hard ? I m learning, but I ve already root the phone and partitioned the sd card.

Tried link2sd but it's not working for me. I'd like to try another solution.

Thanks,

srmoure

V 1.04 and works
[Android Software Development] SrMoure:
Would you mind attaching this version because I ve tried the others without any luck. I am trying to find out where is the problem. I am starting to think that it could be a problem with the optus rom. But with version 1.04 I will narrow down the possibilities

Thanks
[Android Software Development] ngvsousa:
here you go :)
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
Can confirm LinksSD 1.0.4 is working on Optus MyTab.

One thing i noticed is that titanium*backup does not like restoring to this type of system. I also noticed that it leaves the dalvik-cache on the /data/ partition on the internal memory. Not that there is an issue with that last part, but dalvik-cache will continue to grow as well, all be it not as fast as adding apps will eat up available space...

Other thing i noticed was that when you uninstalled the Link2SD app, it did not appear to reverse any changes that it made. Not that that is an issue, as it appears to be a handy tool that i dont think anyone would be uninstalling any time soon :)

For anyone still interested, i have updated my app2sd script. From the feedback i was getting, been trying to cure some of the bugs. It's a little bit harder to install than Link2SD but you dont have to reboot every time an app is moved to the SDcard. Also shows up in Titanium*backup as an app2sd partition so you can keep an eye on how much space you have left...

Any issues, let me know. And dont forget... RTFM :)

[Android Software Development] bbfin:
Hi!

I installed Link2SD app and i moved almost all my apps to ext2. Yesterday night i booted my V9 and hell broke loose. Only like 2 apps work from my ext2 partition. When i try to start like "playerPro" it shut's down instantly saying lots of error messages (normal force shutdown).

I was really happy like two days and now it doesn't work anymore. I tried to copy app back to internal memory but it still makes those errors. Is there anything i can do to save my ZTE V9?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
did you link system apps also by any chance? try a factory reset.
[Android Software Development] bbfin:
Nope. And i found out that the only way is to uninstall non working apps and install them again. Method took time like 40 minutes but it works!
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
Well that makes it a +1 for pegaxs's apps2sd script as far as I'm concerned then. Glad you got it sorted out though.
[Android Software Development] julz:
Hey mate - I'm having issues with my APP2SD - i've followed the script and it works but i'm not getting access to the full space on my EXT2 partition. Using Root Explorer I see that the /data/app directory has over 400MB free but I get complaints when I try to install apps saying there isn't enough memory. Any ideas what is wrong? Currently I'm pretty sure my apps are installed to the SD.
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
How big did you make the EXT2 partition? If you made it 600mb, when you run the script, it will copy over all the existing apps, so it wont appear as 600mb, or it will show up as 600, but will only have 450 availiable because part of the install is to copy over the dalvik-cache and the orginal apps already on the system.

It is better to do apps2sd from a clean stock ROM install, as installing apps still uses the internal space for other things. If you had heaps of apps installed before you installed apps2sd, the internal memory may have been almost full already, so installing something new, while installing to the EXT2 will still install small parts on the main system storage. I set the script to just copy the apps over after moving them was causing an issue. You can delete the data on your data memory to gain back space. It was more for safety just copying the apps to EXT2 rather than actually moving them...

The /data/app directory is probably the old directory that got copied to the SDcard that is filled up. I dont know how good you are with Linux/Android, but if you are 100% sure the apps are installing to the SDcard (easy enough to check if you run Linux, just connect your Tab and mount SDcard as an external drive, and Linux should mount both EXT2 and FAT partitions. You can then view the EXT2 partition and see that all of the apps are in there and the Dalvik-cache is there.) What you can do is go into your devices /data/apps directory and delete all the apps in there, or move them to the FAT partition of the SDcard incase you need to move them back.

Another alternative is to back up all the apps you want with titanium backup, flash a stock ROM to get the device back to "out of the box" stock, or do a full factory reset after you backup all the apps, and before you install anything else, root your device and then you run the apps2sd script. That way, it will copy over and leave the near empty /data/apps folder on the device and install all the new apps to the EXT2 partition when you restore them from titanium backup.

To check if app2sd is working, it should show up in titanium backup as a2sd, and if you use terminal, you can check the mounts.

$ su

# mount

This will show all the mount points in the system. Check to see there is an EXT2 partition installed and mounted in the listing. There should be 3 listings for EXT2 mountings, /system/sd, /data/app and /data/dalvik-cache. If all these are there, app2sd is working. :)

works well, very feature packed, wasn't till I ran a quadrant of 900+ that i realised you'd used a data2sd like i was running on my desire instead of an apps2sd as from pegaxs, well now my "internal memory" is 1.5gb

still having fun working out the portugese but is a vast improvement over the optus one mine shipped with. however, as a request, if you find time to do the same changes to the life rom posted at modaco, it would be awesome.

atleast, till froyo is ready to work properly.

[Android Software Development] hcivil:
Thanks and sorry
[Android Software Development] 02xda1:
No need to apologize, everyone starts somewhere :D
[Android Software Development] pegaxs:
If you dont know Android or Linux, then potentially installing Clockwork would have no benefit for you. Added to that, not knowing how to install it or how to use it could cause irreparable damage to your V9...

Ask yourself, why do you need it. If you answer that you are going to start development of the device or want to start customising ROMS or installing custom ROMS, then you need it, outside that, it has no other real uses, apart from backup and recovery, which isn't needed if you are not flashing it.

Anything you can do with clockwork can be done through fastboot. It's just clockwork can make it easier and things can be done on device rather then through ADB...

If you are still interested, i have a partial writeup explaining how to install 2.8 clockwork.

hello guys, i'm new to ZTE V9. basically i'm looking for some help and since this is the only thread I could find for the ZTE V9, i decided to post here.

a friend of mine brought me a V9 today that he locked using the unlock pattern. the problem is that he forgot the unlock pattern as well as the email he created for the tablet. he tried too many times to unlock the phone using the unlock pattern and now it's asking for the username and password. and since he forgot that as well, there is no way to get past that screen.

i want to install clockwork mode and erase all his data, but the thing is that he has usb debugging turned off and since i'm stuck at the username/password confirmation screen there is no way to turn that on and cannot flash recovery.

is there any other way to flash recovery on this device? thanks for any help
[Android Software Development] hcivil:
Please tell me about MD5.What is this? Ι search but i not found nothing.

Also in recovery mode my zte v9 said clockwordmod recovery 2.5.1.8 but the ROM MANAGER v.3.0.0.7 said current recovery clockwordmod 2.5.0.7 (and latest recovery clockwordmod 2.5.0.7) and the RECOVERY MANAGE v.0.34 said currently installed recovery: unrecognised

I got the Optus MyTab about a month ago, have it rooted and links2sd working nicely.

Only issue I have is that I cant connect to the regular Optus APN's.

I get full data through the PRECONNECT APN, which is kinda sweet cause it is not draining my prepaid data ;) But I dunno if that is going to work forever. When I switch to the standard internet APN I get no data at all. I tried throwing in my post paid Optus mobile sim and it connects to the internet APN fine so I really don't know what to do.

I have checked all the APN settings and they are all correct, even created a new profile and that still does not work. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to work it out?

[Android Software Development] mclaudio:

how are u going to make the dump ?

Best regards

i think you've done a good buy ! hope it will help us all.

after making dump do you know how we can install that version on our devices? i currently have recovery boot installed (also known as xrecovery)

maybe if you install it also, you can just make a backup using it and post this backup.

also i have rooted with z4root ok? i think its the only one capable or rooting it
[Android Software Development] bitye:
I have enough skills for this :) But I need the device first :)

but my first idea, I install clockworkmod recovery than create a backup what you can restore, right? This worked with motorola defy and V845 :)
[Android Software Development] mclaudio:
ok. i am sorry :-(

please keep us informed ok? :-)

just one think...will you post backup so that we can restore via recovery mode or other way?

thanks.

ps - the only thing i wish so much to change is the actual boot screen. i dont know how to change it. mine was blocked to vodafone (now unlocked) but the bootscreen keeps as vodafone
[Android Software Development] bitye:
