Mine too

can someone upload his tecno f7 rom please, ill need that to unbrick my device

seunpayne: I guess our next point of business would be getting clockworkmod to work on our phones.

please a word of advice to everyone. back up your ROM. now that you have root access you open your phone to risk of a boot loop. download mtk droid tools to backup your ROM just in case

how do i back up my rom using this tool, i have succesfully downloaded it

Use ROM manager Primuim version to backup ur rom and dwonload nandroid manager to manger ur nandroid backups

Godvilla: Use ROM manager Primuim version to backup ur rom and dwonload nandroid manager to manger ur nandroid backups

thanks Godvilla, but what if my device is already bricked and i cant access rom manager?? do i need to access another f7, if yes then can u guide me through the steps so ill know exactly what im doing

Gud work guyz

where art thou or Seanpayne

seunpayne: Just finished porting clockwork mod into brenda. Tested and working so I'm uploading it so everyone can get a taste and also because you will need it to flash my brenda v1.01.1 next week.

Steps:
1. Download mobile uncle from play store
2. Make sure your device is rooted and has debugging enabled
3. Download recovery image from here: recovery.zip - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5j_NCLhSSvIX2hEeF9TMVRLTjg/edit?usp=docslist_api

4. Unzip to the root of your mem card
5. Now open mobile uncle and select d option recovery. Choose the recovery.img u extracted and it will ask you for permission to flash and the reboot.

Place how,although I returned mine to carlcare where it was replaced instead of repair

abbeyseto:

You guys don't follow post if you do u wouldn't have put yourselves in this mess, i posted 3 to 4 days ago that u should BEWARE!! of chainfie 3D!




My purpose of posting is not just to ask for help but to also caution others to prevent u guys from making the same mistake i made. but no,... all is in vain. two other people has fallen into the same ditch!!!

Guy, We gather plenty for that matter o. Me, na font I go dey try install with ifonts, I even manage enter recovery mode but guy, nothing wey I fit do for there jere, I just confuse now ni. Wetin I do now be say I go download AIO Flasher, ah dey hope if I fit see recovery.img, system.img and boot.img for f7, make I even flash am, ah no even dey fear any problem wey fit come from flashing again because I don too frustrate, this phone never even enter 1 month for my hand....

Advice to all tecno f7 users make sure u port CWMR before rooting and back up rom with it so any error u get just restore from the custom recovery

Oya lets do this once and for all. In the past week i have helped more than 7 people unbrick their phones all because of this font issue.

My number is 08068081502 so add me on whatsapp nd I'll guide u thru the process. Until i get enough data to upload d system image, if you want to unbrick ur fone u will need to get a working f7 along with your own so we can mount its system on urs.

Also if anyone can, please upload your system image so that people can download.

And please if u have not done it... Backup your rom today...

Pedro3G: all thanks to seanpayne who has helped me successfully unbrick my phone

Pedro3G: anyone here

Pedro3G: anyone here

Please oh, got a Tecno F7 bricked, any hope?

until it so happens that someone uploads the system image, this is the quickest method to unbrick. most people calling me didn't back up so if you are reading dis and you haven't bricked or fone, you had better backup with either cwm or twrp. you really have no excuse if you have a rooted phone.

here are the steps: (note this step is for cwm users only)
note: you will need a working f7 too. so go out and look for one. people in abuja can call me.

1. go to the tecno f7 official discussion thread here and download d tools I uploaded there. (I might post d link here later sha) download everything including the cwm recovery image and put in one folder. if you dont have d correct drivers den download d tecno f7 root tools zip file too. make sure everything is one folder. now download the so flash tools and make sure its the version specified in the posts above or else it won't work.

2. at this point everything should be downloaded and installed. root the working f7 and install mobile uncle tools from playstore now follow the instructions I wrote in the post where you downloaded cwm from and flash it into d working f7. once that is done boot into recovery and backup the phone (nothing will go wrong but we need to)

3. now open the folder where u downloaded d files to (everything must be in d same folder o) and cut the scatter file out and paste it in anoda place (anywhere. just make sure its not in d same folder as the other files).
open so flash tools and use d file tab to load DAT scatter file. copy d cwm recovery and overwrite d recovery inside d folder

now it should show u a list of things to flash. untick everything except recovery. now double click on d word recovery andselect d cwm recovery you copied there. please make sure everything is in d same folder o.

4 remove the bat3 from the bricked f7. click download in sp flash tools and plug d bricked f7. flashing will begin and whenn it ends you should see a green circle.

5. now put d memory card from the working f7 inside d bricked one and put the bat back. press and hold d volume up + power button and you will see 3 options when it boots. use d volume up to scroll to the first option (recovery mode) and use d volume down button to select it. and cwm should boot.

6 now use d volume buttons to scroll down to backup and restore. use d power button to select it. chose advanced restore and den choose d file with DAT days date and den chose restore system. once that is done your phone will wake up again.

I'll answer questions now.

Seunpayne, Na God go bless you sire.

Pls help me. My tecno f7 can no longer boot. It gets stuck on the booting screen. I recently rooted it and installed one application like dat and dat was when the problem startd. I ve tried fac reset and data wipe all to no avail. Pls what shd I do?

So for now, the only option would be having another unbricked Tecno F7 from which the rom could be extracted?

Please could someone help upload the Tecno f7 system.img file? try compressing it with a 7z archive tool, it should make the smaller, or try uploading it in bits. Please I dey beg!!!
