Hi all
Have just tried to upgrade my Gen1 SF and have now got a phone that I can't get up & running and isn't recognised by my pc.
I followed the instructions in this tutorial with the hope of running Gingerbread:
How to install Android 2.3 & 4.0 on the Orange San Francisco / ZTE Blade / ZTE Libra U-V880 from scratch

I got to: Gen 1 - Root and install ClockworkMod Recovery
17. A MD5 hash will be generated. Check the md5 hash is ae0207cd88429a062d8b1770b3acd2c4.

....I couldn't get this code so Googled the file and downloaded another - obviously this is where the problem lies;
NOW, all I've got on my phone is the 'back' hard button lit; when I press it I get green writing saying:
'Update fron T-Flash Card'
then 4 lines tick thro with detail; it then says 'Update Successful'......
but nothing more is acheivable!
I can't switch it on or get any useful screen to progress, and my pc now doesn't recognise the phone.

I'd be VERY grateful to hear of a way out of this, or is it goodbye to this phone?
Thanks for reading and thanks in anticipation for any SIMPLE TO FOLLOW advice! :itsme:
