:thumbsupdroid:Didnt test much, but everything seems in order.
Wiping also is a lot faster now.
Still working on the CM11 rom, but got this for now.
Again take general precautions as you would with anything you flash
I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone...ENJOY

Just flashed it with Flashify. Looks like it installed correctly. Will try it next time I need to flash.
 
Awesome... It took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to swipe... I have only done one backup and all seems to be Good!
 
I would love a hash on your upload, such things prevent serious issues that might unfold upon an unfortunate user.
For comparison until otherwise posted MD5: 1b528f1f58f5510e454a26add7ad5af7

same MD5 - 1B528F1F58F5510E454A26ADD7AD5AF7 will add to OP
 
Radio is broken when I flashed the updated ROM.
I was trying to wait for someone else to post first..but I got a little impatient...restore of my backup worked fine.

However shouldn't my previous cwm backups showup, or did this create a new folder?
 
Well i looked for my previous cwm backups and they are gone... Apparently the new reovery wiped my original cwm backups...oh well...that sucks though lol:eek:
 
Sorry bout Radio, will look into it
As far as backups, my previous backups show, just be sure you are choosing the correct sd

I had my previous backups on my external SD. Flashed this recovery and made a backup on external. Now the only the newest backup is in that cwm/backup folder...its not a big deal to me but for anyone else just be careful ... As you should be anyways:D
 
I'm sorry you lost your backups...Tried to replicate your issue, Reflashed image, made recovery to ext-sd. All my backups are still present.

Did anyone know if the radio files have a sperate position?

I posted about this another post. I forgot where and I'm at work right now but the radio.img is basically a bunch of different partitions in one file. It's not just the radio, open up the radio.img and research each file and you'll find out which one the radio/modem actually is.
 
This is all in the radio.img

I think this needs to be added to the updater script

ui_print("Writing radio image...");
assert(qcom.install_radio(package_extract_file("radio.img")));

Well you build it and I'll test it. I am able to gut a build machine together after finals. If someone could guide me in the right direction in 2 weeks

I was trying to add that to my last ROM I tried to make and I couldn't get it to work for some reason. Just got my new phone and downgraded but then accidentally upgraded and lost root again. Don't have any more time to tinker today but I will tomorrow.

Regarding CM11, I mentioned in the other CWM thread the similarities between our phone and the LG Optimus L90, a phone that already has several working roms over on XDA (including CM11). It seems like our phone is just a variant of the L90 with a bigger battery and slightly different camera specs. I don't know anything about rom development, but because of the similarities between the two phones, could looking at their roms help?

I can only speak for myself, but the l90 is where most of the work I've done so far came from. What's holding us back is we need someone good with kernel work, like modifying their caf kernel to work with our device. We get that, and the Roms will start flowing.

Also we need to figure out the radio issue, its really baffling why its happening. My theory is these custom recoveries are wiping out a partition that they shouldn't be when doing a factory reset, something with wiping /data it looks like. I've recompiled and tested everything I can think of, and am running out of theories to try.
