hi i am getting really frustrated. I'm trying to go back to my original wildfire rom i don't care if its not the telstra original i just need any original. i currently have cyanogenmod7.03 that i installed myself. how do i install the original rom i have booted into that special mode via holding volume down and power down. and i have downloaded some original roms from shippedroms.com and put them on my microsd on my wildfire. help would be appreciated greatly, i have read other threads regarding this but i don't know what to do. i have rooted my phone also.
RUU's from Shipped ROM's are EXE Files. Connect your Wildfire to your PC. and run the EXE File. That's it.
You will lose root though, if you flash an RUU.
Alternately, you can flash this ROM as well. It's stock 2,2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Short Guide for the second method:
- Download the ROM I listed above, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery ("Special Mode" - As you say)
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard")
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

ok ill have to try the second method because i have an iMac not a pc, and i was browsing through the clockworkmod recovery mode earlier on.
can i use the telstra rom i downloaded from specialroms.com instead of the one you linked me? then follow the second method?
i can't choose update.zip from install zip from sd card because its not a zip, when i click on it, it opens up with three more folders of meta inf, res and sbin. what should i do?
Don't select the option choose update.zip.
First, restart your phone in Clockworkmod:
- Then, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD"
- Here, select an option "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD"
This will open a tree structure on your sdcard to browse, then select the required Zip file.
I cannot comment on your specialroms.com ROM, because I haven't seen it at all. I have no idea what sort of a ROM you are talking about.
=====================================
Alternately, if you are ok with flashing an RUU, you can extract the ROM.zip from the EXE RUU on a Linux/Mac device using OpenRUU here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296
Once you get the ROM.zip from the Telstra EXE RUU, then
- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.
i just converted the update folder to a zip file on my computer maybe this will work.

No, I don't. Unless you clarify a lot more on what you did, and what problem you are facing, I will most certainly not be able to infer what you mean. The first zip you flash (update1.zip) is supposed to be like that. You should see Clockworkmod with Green Text, and v2.5.0.7 written below. If you see that, the first part is successful.

i am following the second method. so i choose update1.zip from install zip from sdcard. i select yes install update and it loads for like the briefest of seconds. then it goes back to the clockwork mod menu again. my clockwork mod is v2.5.0.1 but i have green writing. is the update1.zip installation supposed to take half a second because thats how long it loaded for me.

Yes, it is supposed to take just half a second. It will only give you Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7. It's the sole purpose of update1.zip.
But, since you have Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 (I wish I had known this earlier - I assumed you S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary and had the new version with orange text), you can skip a lot of steps.
Now, just simply follow these. (It's a re-written second method, if you will)
- Download the the Safe Flash ROM Zip file only. You don't need update1.zip
- Place the file on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Now, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCard"
- Now, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM when rebooting is done

ok. followed the instructions exactly i selected safe buzz froyo.zip and it loaded for about 1second as if it was installing. then the clockwork mod menu appeared again and i rebooted the phone. but it loaded as cyanogen 7 so it didn't work. how long is it supposed to take to install? 1 second? do i need to do something to my microsd card? like make it a gold card or something? I've heard that word before.
No, you don't need a Goldcard for flashing the Safe Flash ROM. (You would have needed one only if you followed the RUU method).
ROM install should take a lot more time than 1 second. Also, it is surprising how Cyanogenmod 7 is loading. Did you not perform a 'Wipe Data' in Clockcowkrmod, as I have stated?
Also, check your ROM file size, make sure the file size matches, and see if you can catch the error message that comes on Clockworkmod when it reboots after 1 second when installing the ROM.

the rom file size is about 120mb. i did perform a wipe data before i attempted to install the rom. yes i will try and see what message comes on the screen in that one second of the rom loading. the phone doesn't reboot after i press install rom, it goes back to the clockwork menu then i hit reboot. i will try again.
Hey,
I would like to add boot animation.
1.I need to know what CMW I have cuz there is CMW 2x and CMW 3x.I'm using g3mod v2.0 kernel?
Then I need to know hot to do it?
I guessed I have 3x CMW and downloaded that boot animation(from xda forum)
I tried to add it with update.zip in CMW and it says Instalation aborted.
Thnx
Put the .zip file on your sd card (any folder, but the easiest is top level "/").
Press the power button until the boot menu shows up, then select "Recovery". This will automatically bring you to CWM.
Select "Update .zip" with the vol+ and vol- buttons, confirm with the home button. Then use "Select .zip" and navigate to where your boot animation .zip file is, select and click on it. Confirm by selecting in the additional menu. Then go back and select "Reboot".
Have fun!

Custom Recovery
Please have a read through the information in this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/
Flashing a custom recovery on the L2 is a simple process.
Things Required for this process:

First you have to allow the phone to install apps that dont come from Google Play Store.To do so,follow the guide :
1.Settings Menu
2.Security
3.Enable(tick) Unknown sources
4.Untick Verify apps
You can always reset these back to how you found them when you are done.
Download Mobile Uncle Tools

or
MediaFire Link : http://goo.gl/c5q6Jh
Copy APK file to your SD card,use your file manager to install it.
Run Mobile uncle tools,allow root permissions when menu pops up.
You can close the app for now.Next thing we need is the actual recovery file itself.I've attached the recovery i find works best

Select the file and proceed with installation.Mobile uncle tools will then prompt you to reboot into recovery if the update was successful.Select Yes and the phone will reboot into the new recovery menu

Okay,you have to download the firmware version for your country,and have custom recovery installed on the phone.
So if you in UK,download the rom for your phone from UK provider.(doesnt matter if its JB or KK)
http://www.ztedevices.com/support/index.html
Once you have the rom,Use winRAR to do the following:
1.open the rom from your country in winrar so you can see the contents.
2.Open system folder (dont extract,just navigate into the folders in winrar)
3.Open "etc" folder
4.Open Firmware folder
5.Select "modem_1_wg_n.img" and extract it(i just drag and drop on desktop)
6.Open the Kitkat firmware you've downloaded using winRAR
7.Open System folder
8.Open "etc" folder
9.Open Firmware folder
10. Copy the "modem_1_wg_n.img" into that location(drag and drop from desktop)
11.winRAR asks if you want to :Add/Replace file/s? Select Yes or OK to allow it to
12.copy entire firmware to phone and reflash it on the phone from the SD card
I dont know if you can just replace the modem file after having loaded the firmware.I didnt try or test it.it may or may not work.
I am working on Custom Firmware for this phone though.
latest achievement was i managed to get the phone to see the SD card as phone storage thanks to various xda guides.this will be built in
FIrmware should be ready in a few days after testing.if anybody is interested in trying it out,let me know
problem solved...
Thank you sir...problem solved...it's really hard to be a noob...have to understand a lot of things now....I'm willing to try your firmware on my phone...upload it when done...keep up the good work...sorry for my english...
Post has been updated
I need to talk to you.... Go read my PM
installation is always aborted.. PLEASE HELP
Replied
Thanks
The thread is so useful... Keep up the good work, I don't have patience to try the new ROM!
Is there any chance for kernel supporting overclocking and undervoltage, also with more Gvernor and I/O Sheduler options?
Also Would be gorgeous if there's tap screen to wake option, this would need custom kernel too...
I'm now using DeviRSilva's kernel, which is doing great! Man, don't be afraid to relese it and continue tweaks
Still I'm a noob and maybe half of theese wishes are impossible, but would be so cool if they're possible to develop!
PD: I saw a site promoting Lollipop ROM for our L2 is that real?
PD2: Sorry for my awful English and probably stupid requests and questions...
helpppp

Note - Updated hosts file for ad blocking (Use xposed module "hosts Enabler" to prevent adverts)
Once Rom is installed and you restart phone from recovery
It may give the following warning "Root access possibly lost. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE"
Select "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)"

Custom Recovery
Please have a read through the information in this link : http://www.howtogeek.com/193055/what-is-a-custom-recovery-on-android-and-why-would-i-want-one/
Flashing a custom recovery on the L2 is a simple process.
Things Required for this process:
Rooted Phone - (Please see the post on Rooting)
Mobile Uncle Tools APK
Recovery Image
First you have to allow the phone to install apps that dont come from Google Play Store.To do so,follow the guide :
1.Settings Menu
2.Security
3.Enable(tick) Unknown sources
4.Untick Verify apps
You can always reset these back to how you found them when you are done.
Download Mobile Uncle Tools
Mega Link: http://goo.gl/IkyVDo
or
MediaFire Link : http://goo.gl/c5q6Jh
Copy APK file to your SD card,use your file manager to install it.
Run Mobile uncle tools,allow root permissions when menu pops up.
You can close the app for now.Next thing we need is the actual recovery file itself.I've attached the recovery i find works best
Carliv Touch Recovery v2.2 - MTK CWM-based v 6.0.4.4
Download Recovery.img file
Mega Link: http://goo.gl/1f8OwX
or
MediaFire Link :http://goo.gl/U1D2Zu
MD5 :9f770b95df8e1beabd7417fc112190bc
Once the file has downloaded,copy to the root of your SD Card.
Open Mobile Uncle Tools and Select "Recovery Update".
Be sure to Select the downloaded recovery image,not anything else.
Select the file and proceed with installation.Mobile uncle tools will then prompt you to reboot into recovery if the update was successful.Select Yes and the phone will reboot into the new recovery menu
