[Sprint] Recovery Mode

[t1jordan]

I have the Sprint G Nexus. I was rooted when I took the OTA 4.2.1 update. After update I'm still rooted and my device is working correctly. I'm still rooted because I have a super user app and my pad lock is unlocked. The problem is I have no recovery to flash another ROM. Any ideas?

Rule of thumb, never accept an ota.

With that being said, boot into fastboot just to make sure the boot loader is unlocked. Assuming it is, reflash a recovery (preferably twrp).

Just because you have the superuser app, doesn't automatically mean the device is rooted. You need to have the su binary along with either the superuser or SuperSU app installed in order to have root access. If you are still rooted, you can use the rom manager app to flash CWM or GooManager to flash TWRP. If you're device isn't actually rooted, then you need to flash recovery through fastboot.

You can download joey krim's root checker to see if you are still rooted.

I did check and I am rooted. I used wugfresh and it corrected my root. I have recovery now. When I flash Sourcery 5. Or any ROM MMS doesn't work. If I restore my 4.2.1 backup my MMS works with no problem. Any idea what could be the problem. I have the correct radios I'm assuming because they came from the sprint update. Not sure what to do. But I know Sourcery ROM kicks ass and I would like to get back to it. Everything else works except for MMS. As you can see I'm new to flashing Roms

Make sure you are on 3g. Also, try using SMS pro. That works for me.

Odd that it works on 4.2.1. Try updating your prl and make sure you have auto-retreive turned off. And like Aaron said make sure you have 3g turned on. With the 4.2.2 quick setting tile it can be hard to tell if 3g is on.
