Root [SPRINT][ROM]M8WHL Stock Rooted - Base: 1.54.651.8

[Granite1]

Thanks to Cap'n Throwback we have the latest Stock Rooted rom. This is for the first OTA to 1.54.651.8.

OP by Cap'n Throwback, found here:
[SPRINT][ROM]M8WHL Stock Rooted - Base: 1.54.651.8 - theMikMik

This adds Extreme Power Saver and apparently fixes some Bluetooth issues, etc.

This is not my work, all credit goes to Cap'n Throwback. Make sure you hit the "Thanks" button on his posts!!

So if I just flash this it will update to the new OTA without losing my root or s-off if I'm understanding?....Sorry if a newb question, but these first few flashs on new devices always make me nervous til I have the methods down.

If you are rooted with a custom recovery, you're good to go.

If you're S-off, you can flash the new OTA firmware from the Cap'n over at the mikmik:

I need to get a bunch of stuff posted up and linked. Super busy at work.

Wait, seriously!!
I gotta get that fixed.

Could have sworn I linked the new firmware thread.....

OK, Here is the proper thread: http://themikmik.com/showthread.php...WHL-Firmware-Collection-LATEST-1-54-651-8-OTA

OK, you'll probably be fine flashing the stock rooted rom with the last firmware. Sometimes having mismatched firmware / rom versions causes some issues. If you go to the link above and follow the Cap'ns instructions it'll update your firmware.

You'll need to be S-OFF for this to work!!!

No worries I knew what your intent was. Got the firmware updated and going on the Captain's stock rooted rom finally so I'm in business. Thanks for the time.

No problem, pleasure was all mine.

Let us know how it works, if you have any issues. I still haven't rooted mine yet. Need to find a few minutes for myself.
