Root [MetroPCS] [Recovery] [Loki] CWM v6.0.4.6

TheEmpathicEar said:
You need to have 12B in order to install this ROM. How did you get to 12B [with root]?

the recovery will work if you are on 12b but the root from app will not along with other features of that app. so as far as how to do it this is all i can say:

1) update to 12b somehow

2) root

3) install f6Utilities2

4) install cwm

5) win?

This is the hard part. I upgraded to 12b without doing enough research and there isn't a direct way to root (adb, app, 1-click etc).

Flash the 10i KDZ stock ROM, then root & install the CWM, & finally flash a pre-rooted 12b ROM.

Thanks for the recovery, looked everywhere for a working one.
But when I try to back up it doesn't mount my exteranl SD card? And what's the SD hack button? Sorry, I'm new to all this. First time I really trying flashing a kernal.

Oye. You're going to have to install a different kernel and hope your not royally boned
 
Just here to confirm that F2Utilities2.3 will install on rooted 12b and will flash CWM recovery. Did not test root.

If you read the first post, it says to install the F6Utilities app and that app installs cwm recovery. You can use the very same app to boot into cwm recovery.

@GameTheory
I understand the above. I want to use CWM to backup and then install your ROM.
Just to be clear, from Power Off, you can press Vol-down and Power to get into recovery w/o wiping data/reset?
I am asking these questions, because the requirement for installing your ROM is 12b. So, I am assuming you don't want to "Wipe Everything"?

I never said anything about using a button combo to get into recovery. You see my post that you just quoted, read it again and focus on the second sentence and that's your answer.

Do not use button combo with this recovery, only use the F6Utilities app or Quick Boot.
 
Yes, thx. I understand about using the app. I first used a CWM by "ShabbyPenguin" for my previous phone - HUAWEI Premia - and, it "burned" the idea of a button combo to start recovery into my brain?

That's how usual phones are. You can still use those apps on that phone lol.

Also ShabbyPenguin is part turtle believe it or not
 
I'm using Link2SD to move apps to a 2nd ext4 partition on my SDcard, but when I try to do a NANDROID backup in CWM it says that there is no ext-SD apps found. Do I need to change to ext3 or ext2 for this to work? Something else?
