I tried it. It won't work.

There is a completely new recovery build for this phone so cwm has to be rebuilt. You have to reapply the FTM update the usually way to get back to stock recovery and thats the best we have at this time.
 
Awesome, thanks. I was trying this last night but fastboot wouldn't recognize the phone. I downloaded the universal driver but it kept saying waiting for device? What drivers do you have installed?

It isn't
It's in the official zte KitKat software update for z998

Hm, I've tried the drivers that came with the update and I've tried the universal driver but when I enter "fastboot boot z998-cwm-recovery.img" I just get "waiting for device"
I've done this before obviously since my phone was rooted before but I don't know what's wrong this time.
 
i've been running the official kitkat update for about a week now.

system/etc/permissions/platform.xml has to be edited for proper permissions to write to external storage when unrooted and rooted alike--very similar to how the one for the moto xoom has to be done on every rom for proper external storage permissions.

i edited these sections of the file like so:

one could add media_rw to each one as well which would make it hypothetically possible to install apps in data/media

PHP: 
  <permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
  <group gid="sdcard_r" />
  <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
  <group gid="sdcard_all" />
  </permission>

  <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
  <group gid="sdcard_r" />
  <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
  <group gid="sdcard_all" />
  </permission>

  <permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
  <group gid="sdcard_r" />
  <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
  <group gid="sdcard_all" />
  </permission>

  <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
  <group gid="media_rw" />
  <group gid="sdcard_r" />
  <group gid="sdcard_rw" />
  <group gid="sdcard_all" />
  </permission>

usb mtp never worked in stock jelly bean for me on the device in either windows or linux. it works just fine in kitkat.

i've got several pre-builds of a proper cm11 port for the device using its actual settings and not those from the radiant. wifi has been an issue though.

just wait, a proper rom is in tow finally for this great phone.

Dude, you just got me so pumped. It's been way too long since I've had a CM rom.
