If your stuck at the red/black ascend M860 screen that means you have a lazy ascend.
Download CM7.1RC1-Ascend-BobZ672-070811.zip to your computer and move it to your sd card. Then insert sd card into phone and hold Volume up & Call buttons and hit the power button to boot into recovery. Then do what the guide says to wipe & format, then install the file you put on your sd card.

Good luck!

Question about what version I am running. I downloaded and installed Pg's version of CM7 and I know I installed this version. When I check what version is on my phone through the about phone tab it says, it is version 5122011. Why is this, I know I installed the 06242011 version. Just wondering.

By the way I love this version.


you might have had that 0512 on your sdcard a flash the wrong one, delete all the old ones on your sdcard and move new ones on there.

YW, some ppl just dont realize how much time it takes. Isaac is the one that really put a ton of time in on getting all to work. Just to complie it can take 30min to a couple hours depending on the machine its built on. Setting up a linux vm or installing linux and getting it all setup to dev android in. And then getting the src all together and to build and then to flash, and then get everything to work. And thats working with a repo that had everything you needed, doing it all from scratch, well I'll let you imagine that one lol.

Hey Playful, haven't talked in a little while. First I just want to say. Later today, I am leaving for the Caribbean (Turks and Caicos), so I won't be able to reply for a week, but wanted to get this out there, and we can talk when I get back.

Second, this post is a off topic a bit, but I wanted to respond to this and then we can either move to private, email, or best probably a new thread.

OK, just to let you know, as I had promised a bit ago, I do want to help out on this end and just to comment on what you said, I have basically one simple question.

First though. I (Using my Windows7 Laptop, I have a strictly Ubuntu one also, into that in a sec). But on the Win7 one, since it's my daily. I have Eclipse installed, the Full Blown Flash SDK, With that the full Android SDK (Including most all samples/tutorials, etc), all the platforms for the seperate SDK's (just grabbed all to be able to test on any platform, plus I have the Google API's in there for the ride.

So, my full blown Android Virtual Device, etc. is all set up. And I think I'm fully stacked for development and debugging.

Now the question I refered to earlier. I had a feeling from the begining, this should be being done on my Linux machine.

Based on what I outlined I have all set up (I did create a few simple apps just to confirm it's all meshing together, debugged in most of the AVD's).

Could you let me know, Advantages or "Helpfulness" of doing all this on my Linux machine, before I get to far on the Win machine and don't wanct to change, after having this all stacked up, moving over would be a pain, now I could easily put it on the Linux machine.

ADVICE??

PS: Reason for the Ubuntu machine now was originally to run a VPN in the house, Using 2 Routers (a non-wireless LINKSYS flashed to handle the VPN, wireless router underneath it, along with the full VPN, to grab stuff from a 1TB drive also on the network, cool setup if I can get it running-NOT YET...LOL)

So, really all I'm asking, could have made this really short, are all those development tools better off on the Linux machine in Linux format?

AGAIN -SORRY TO THE OP for the drifting off topic, Playful. I'll be back in a week. Feel free to reply to spyder5157@gmail.com (To leave the thread on topic).


To refer back to the topic: I am still running 0514, governor set at performance, CPU to 748MHz. Running like a champ.

Using Antutu Benchmark (if you benchmark use this one, so our numbers are standardized), my score is mid-900's (out of Ascends world wide I am #4-5, and 15-20 below me), so it's a pretty good score/speed/etc.

Take care all. As I said, I will be away on Vaca, so If I don't respond to anyone for a week, that is why, no blowing off or anything...Talk soon.

Jeff

+1 Didn't have any backup except Bob Zhome's 07012011 CM7 build & it showed as CM7 0514,even though I was running 07012011.

1st I'm gettting anxious...I'm used to flashing a ROM every week or two...lol, time for some change and play.

Kolio...Alot talking about it, but since you and I talk the most, I figured this was the best worded one for me to reply.

ALOT of talk about this BobZ ROM !!! I know you went back to 0514 about when I did, and am having very good luck with it (couple SMALL glitches here and there)

Question: Is this BobZ ROM what it's really looking like - A good solid build?

Any chance your could run that Antutu Benchmark and let me know how it's testing out.
Or do you think it's worth just giving a shot? What's the max overclock? Also, are all the Governers Isaac had on there, I'm guessing it's a build off of that or Playful's last?

As I mentioned a few times above/below I don't know??? I am going on Vaca for a week so, don't be surprised if I'm invisible for a week, I'll be down in the Caribbean (Turks and Caicos), and not back till next week sometime.

So, I'm not blowing anything off, just taking a break. I AM taking my PC, BUT, going to try and let it sit....maybe TRY and hit a few emails, but I'm not sure of my internet connectivity there...

SO, worst case tty next week...THANKS, JEFF

yes i can confirm that bobz and pg are good builds, i just left from isaac 0521 build to 0708 and its good, plus it has a different mac addy just in case you have 2 ascend that's trying to connect to the same wireless spot.

Actually,I hadn't had 05142011 on my phone for quite some time & have been installing the updates as they have rolled out,only keeping the previous build as a backup.

Others here experienced the same as I did & ROM MANAGER showed having 05142011 installed when in fact 07012011 was installed & was indicated as such in SETTINGS>ABLUT PHONE.
Nothing harmful,just an oddity that some of us experienced/noticed.
I believe it was a ROM MANAGER FUBAR because once before,after installing ROM MANAGER PRO after an update flash,it showed up on my desktop as BOTH ROM MANAGER & BURRITO MANAGER (w/the burrito icon).STRAAAAAAAAANGE..................but true!

Gonna run ANTUTU BENCHMARK now,Spyder 5157,I'll PM the results to you.Enjoy your vacation.

HI, well i have been doing all my research (or so i thought) and getting my nerve up to flash cm7. I decided to do the lastest pg mod since it is available via rom manager. i flashed recovery 3.0.0.5 easy as pie through rom manager and watched a few videos on the whole process. Anyway to make a long story short, i think i screwed up because i went to do a backup {nandroid) using rom manager and quickly realized that maybe it was a Mistake using rom manager for that since my phone is sitting here on boot screen for well over an hour now...:eek: Heres what happened, I clicked on back up current rom, and then clicked ok to the backup name that would be made, then my phone appeared like it was going to begin the process then it didnt. All i got was the white Huawei screen... Now what? My first instinct is to pull the battery but i was hoping for a quick response from someone before i do anything that could make matters worse. Thanks...
