Recovery doesn't save GUI preferences and I can't find my backup.. also scared my pants off when doing the "wipe for new ROM install" said it formatted both SD 1 & SD 2. Thought I lost 25GB data on my card, lol. Gonna try newest update...

Had the same experience when I flashed the new B12Kitkat rom. I have a 64gig with EVERYTHING on there and it scared the living shit out of me too. All good though,

At long last, I am proud to give you guys what I've been keeping secret from everybody! There were a few bugs that took some hammering to get out, but this should be as bug free as you can get. :D

If you aren't sure what PhilZ recovery is, then you are in for a treat! It is based on CWM, with many additions to the source by Phil3759.

Some features:
- full touch + custom gui interface
- ability to set the time (so no more backups from the 70's)
- create a custom_rom.zip (which pulls from /boot and /system)
- you can toggle between /sdcard and /sdcard/0 (helpful when we get roms past 4.2)
- Plenty more

Stuff I fixed:
- access to both the internal and external sdcard
- USB Mass Storage access to the external sdcard
- selecting sdcards now say "internal sdcard" and "external sdcard" rather than "/storage/sdcard0" and "/storage/sdcard1"

I want to do this on windows what's the command for windows
 
assuming you have adb and fastboot ready to go and you pulled the recovery.img file from the .zip (but still keep that .zip cuz you will flash it later) place the recovery.img file where adb is then you connect your phone to the computer and put the .zip on your external or internal sd and open adb and type:

adb devices (this will check that the phone is detected in adb)
adb reboot bootloader (boots phone into bootloader)
fastboot devices (checks that the phone is detected in fastboot)
fastboot boot recovery.img (this will temporarily boot the recovery image)

you can then use the temporary recovery that is running to flash the philztouch recovery zip that you downloaded after everything is done you can delete the recovery.img from where you put it in the folder that adb is in
 
Or how about this you remove the recovery. Image file from the zip and flash the image with flashify that you can get from the Play Store. No windows or PC required

I can't get it to do a back up what do I do thanks
 
after the recovery is flashed you should be able to do "backup and restore" then "backup to external sdcard" if you have an external sd card in it (recommended) or "backup to internal sdcard"

Hold Volume Down+Power
When andriod icon appears release power
System Recovery Screen Appears
Wipe Data --> Completed
Wipe Cashe -->Completed
"Apply updated from sdcard"

ok so i should load the phone normally, dl the flashify app from play store, and choose the "recovery.img" from the sd card?

I am just a little frustrated at this point so i am trying to make real clear on what i need to do. Appreciate the help!

Not sure if if makes a difference but i originally rooted with framroot...

Basically Yes. DL flashify, Make sure the .img is on external SD, go to Recovery choice in flashify, select the .img and follow prompts/reboot. Should be good to go. [emoji28]
