ZTE Radiant Developer Tools - CWM-UNBRICK-ROMS-KERNELS-KERNEL SOURCE- AND OTHER

[hroark13]

@hroark - STILL having trouble with CWM unless using the .bat file via Win7. Was able to "push" CWM to my VS920 via ADB but recovery area is different in the Radiant. Would the same commands work if the differences were adjusted for the ZTE? If so, can you confirm the recovery address? My info says it's mmcblk0p16.
What I used (successfully) for the VS920 (LG Spectrum 4G) was:

adb push cwm_touch.img /sdcard/cwm_touch.img
adb shell
su
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
dd if=/sdcard/cwm_touch.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery

Thanks in advance.

change the dd line to this


dd if=/sdcard/cwm_touch.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

Anyone test this on the sonata yet ?

OC test zip here:
it should boot and function fine, as for wifi, let me know...


some infos about it:
OC to 1.7GHz
F2FS support
Exfat support
A ton of CPU Govs
I/Os scheds

Has anyone tried this? If so, any issues as a daily driver?

Hello,

I have been following your thread on the Z740 Radiant/Sonata and all the developer tools you have created for it. Great job on all the progress!

I have a Z740 ZTE Sonata from Cricket Wireless that I have just successfully rooted using Kingo. I followed the instructions on your thread for installing the device drivers for the phone, and I installed them to the computer. Next, I tried to run both the install_z740_cwm and install_z740_cwm_tch files, but all that happens is the phone reboots (no bootloader screen shown, only a red light) and the computer prompts me to install device driver files for "Android Device". When I try to install any of the drivers in your ZIP or search for them in Windows Update it says "The drivers could not be found." I end up having to take the battery out of the phone to reset it, and CWM has not installed when the phone boots up.

Do you think this might be because the Sonata has some differences in the architechture or drivers? I have searched Google for two hours about this and the only help I can find is in your threads! It's great my phone is rooted but if I can't install a custom recovery then there's no real point in flashing ROMs or any other risky behavior... thanks for any help you can provide and keep up the great work!

So this is a really newbie question, but I can't seem to figure it out.

If I update my zte 740 with this kernel etc... Assuming all goes well, Will it work better than my existing phone or is it still under development to the point where I'm better off leaving well enough alone. I.e. Does the camera work etc...?


And if so, will it be running 4.4, or does that require the cryomag part to be functioning?

Basically this is the phone I'm stuck with, I want to get the most out of it. I'm trying to figure out if the status of development here makes it worth my time to learn how to do all of this, or if it needs to be further along before I dip my toe in. Ideally I would like to get to 4.4 up and running.

Any thoughts from those who have gotten it to work on the advantages of moving forward?

I had this same problem, so is what i did i put the custom recovery.img on my sdcard, and downloaded an app called "Flashify" and installed the recovery that way.

I installed that cm11 test rom without gapps... to the z740 with clockworkmod and now I have completely bricked the device and I also lost cwm so now I'm stuck with stock recovery I tried that unbrick method didn't work I'm really screwed. Any help or suggestions on how to fix this problem would be nice.
