cm11 4.4.4 for htc wildfire s


HELLO THIS IS ANDROID ADMIRER


BEFORE WE ARE ABLE TO FLASH THIS ROM CM11 4.4.4 for metro pcs


WE HAVE TO FIRST UPGRADE OUR RECOVERY TO PHILZ TOUCH 6.43.7 RECOVERY (in order to flash a kitkat rom

flashing from another recovery will give status 7 error)

FROM THE CLOCKWORKMOD TEAM (THANKS BTW)

SO TO DO THIS,ASSUMING YOU ARE ALREADY ROOTED AND YOUR BOOTLOADER IS ALREADY UNLOCKED,

THEN DOWNLOAD THE RECOVERY.IMG HERE

http://www.mediafire.com/download/c8wrc2oejpt86cc/recovery.img




THEN PLACE RECOVERY.IMG INTO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD EXTERNAL SDCARD(NOT IN A FOLDER)

THEN IF YOU HAVE A TERMINAL EMULATOR (OR DOWNLOAD ONE FROM PLAYSTORE)

OPEN THE TERMINAL UP AND TYPE SU

IT WILL ASK FOR SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS,ACCEPT AND THEN TYPE


-------------------------------------------
flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img
-------------------------------------------
hit enter and it should flash it without error

if you come up with an error

repeat all the above steps again


to check if it went ok you can type
----------------
reboot recovery
----------------


and your phone should reboot right into philz recovery



HERE IS THE CM11ROM.ZIP

Thanks a ton for this post I have updated to 4.4.4 KITKAT but I need to download and flash gaaps.
Not a big thing.

Thanks again and keep doing good work.
 
It's ok i flashed the recovery from a computer and the rom had been installed succefully but i thought that after installing this rom I will be able to install what i want from the play store because of Kitkat android version but it's not

Thank's a lot for this tutorial this is not a big problem
 
small typo in the recorvery: a space is missing
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

for the rest the instuctions worked like a charm !!!
took only 20..30 minutes and now it's at kitkat 4.4.4 :)

also installed Gapps using the link from zoro13.
install worked fine, booted and at first it did not seem to work properly, rebooted once more and then it asked me to log in and it worked fine.

thanks a lot !!

Are you running this on a wildfire S....

If so.. congratulations for keeping this running. The fact that you're able to do anything in 2018 with the limited hardware and resources is an achievement in itself.


If you're running this on other hardware, posting in a more appropriate part of the forum may get you a better answer...

their developer said this app was running on android 4.4+
so this rom is CM 11 [android 4.4 core] ... and i installed this apps ... but when running i got "unfortunetly, droidcamx has stopped" ... i tested this app on other original android phones and its working ....
