Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Any Custom ROMS?

So noone is interested in a rom I guess lol.

It's very easy guys. Just upload the system.ext4.tar.a file from a clockworkmod backup. That is what I need to make this rom. You just need to be on the latest firmware C.

- I'll do it, it's rooted debloated, I assume I need to do the unbrick method to get a clean backup?
 
Here ya go, let me know when i can take down the link.

*files removed*

From MS65910c

And thanks for doing this(as well as the kernel), would have had it uploaded sooner, but i figured someone else would have helped :3.
 
- If OneOverCosine doesn't work let me know. Do I need to use the CWM posted here or can I use the one from the playstore?


I believe that any nandroid backup would work, as they all produce the same files. I could be wrong though. I used LTE2 Recovery App (From Here), I don't know if that effects the files GameTheory, if it does sorry.
 
Ok I'm having no luck. I downloaded it twice and both times it downloaded just fine. When I try to extract the file it gives me an end of file error. Seems to be corrupt.

Someone uploaded a file for me once and I got the same thing and it turned out to be that they were on a wifi connection and probably lost connection during the upload.

Not sure what to do at this point, been trying to get this for a few days now. I already did a lot of the work for the rom.

Well, this is an archive, and there's also a tar.b and just a regular .tarr file, do you need both of those as well? Since it's an archive, I thought it was strange taht you didn't need all parts.
 
- CWM kept giving me an error during backup so I'm doing a titanium backup of my files real quick and then I'm gonna just do a unbrick with a fresh CWM backup for the system.ext4.tar.a Is Google Drive an adequate host or would you prefer a different host?

- First attempt

- I checked and I had the App2External_SD mod file still in that copy I uploaded. If you have a problem with it let me know I have the unbricked version ready for upload.
 
Yeah I saw that lol. There was a few init.d scripts. I should be fine though. If I end up needing that clean version I'll let you know. Thanks

If there's any bloatware you guys want removed from the rom, let me know. Just post here the exact names of the apks so I can find them easily.

just all the metro stuff basically...

This post has a nice list Clicky

Maybe review it, I think its safe to say all of those are pretty useless.

This is also another list Clicky

- Again sorry about that.

- Gut that pig, all the Metro Bloat if possible. I saved the stock SMS, Camera/Gallery. We can still de bloat it on our end once you're finished if necessary.

- If you can get a cooked ROM with working radios, 4G, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth and a backlight that turns off I'm happy. I know thats asking a lot LOL!
