I assume you're rooted? Do you have a backup/nandroid you can recover?

thanks for replying .. i had downoaded universal androot its in the phone but i was unrooted when that happened:itsme:can i put my sd in a card reader and do something?The pc cant see the phone or at least i dont know how to do it.Is there any way to restore my 2.1 from sd card?
Thanks again..
 
So you are not rooted? How did you delete the launcher? I really don't know much about this phone and reflashing it. It looks to have some real differences in terms of flashing than other phones. This thread has quite a bit of info:
Gen1, Gen2, TPT, Root, Recovery, Custom Rom, Cyanogen + Windows Flashing explanation. - xda-developers

I realy dont think i can do much with an unrooted phone :(

The guide you sended me is helpful but with no rooted phone i cant do much of it
I guess i have to say goodbye to my phone..:dontknow:
 
Yikes! Keep in mind most third party apps like launchers, browsers and messaging apps rely on the stock ones to fully function. Be very careful when you start deleting any system apps.
Good luck!
 
There are utilities for reflashing stock firmware on many phones without root. I know how to do that with an HTC, but not this phone. Might still be possible though.

Why don't you just use ADB and push the files back to the proper directories? or use ADB shell? Seems like everyone wants to reflash everything, if its just 1 file put the file back...

Here is the method for rooting using ADB How to Root Your ZTE Blade -- Guide - xda-developers. putting the launcher back works the same way as putting the SuperUser on the phone.

When you are done with this simply push the launcher back. Also check your hidden folders on your phone to see if you have .TRASH or something to that effect, the apk might not have been fully deleted and may be sitting in your trash folder.
 
Just a reminder to always make a back up, then make another back up before deleting anything, or changing anything. Also be sure to read all that you can before you attempt any changes. If you are unsure of it, don't do it. Most problems that people run into could have been avoided just by simply making a back up, and reading and understanding all the info they can find in their phone specific forum.
 
Do the images linked from Dreadnatty's post (number 9) help? The second post of that thread mentions a couple of flashing methods, but I don't know these so can't comment.

Can you get the phone to talk to adb? If so then noonehereyet makes a good point.

And we do have a device forum for this phone, because the Orange San Francisco is just a branded ZTE Blade. So you may be able to get some advice at Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) - Android Forums

First of all thanks for responding!
With my phone i can only go to FTM mode (by pressing power button and volume down or the same with vol up to go to the android logo)or open it normaly and stay to the (android letters)and stay there wont launch any further

I had installed the drivers when the phone used to work but now the pc wont see it now because the phone doesnt launch enough
If i follow the {rootin procedure}you send me will the pc see the phone??

i have downloaded the superuser apk. and ADB to my pc but i cant find the ARM5 ZIP PACKAGE it sais it has a virus from mediafie ...
if you had a better link for it:adore:


And something last do i run those commands from the pc's cwm something(im not if i spell it right but i can go there )?
