Does cf root work with xwjs3? I have zip file, do I unzip or leave it ziped when putting on SD?? Does the file need a name??? might give it a go!
So first
1.flash cf root
2.put ziped file on sd card (asuming)
3.install clockworkmod
4.flash clockworkmod recovery, boot into recovery.
Once in recovery what do I do in recovery?
5.select rom and flash
cheers!
You've pretty much got it. But in number 3. it's actually install 'rom manager' However not sure if cf root works on js3. I'm currently using jpy but it may work. It's just a kernal so if it doesn't just flash another compatible kernal. You will know if it works by using the 3 button method to enter recovery. If you see 2e at the top then all good.
For the zipped file you don't need to unzip. Just leave it as is. CWM recovery has an added option which allows you to select zip file from sd. you to select zip file you want to flash and you don't need to change the name. My files are names darkys...., docs... etc. You can rename them if you want.
When you flash cwm recovery from rom manager it creates an update.zip file on your sd card which normal 2e recovery uses to get you onto the cwm recovery version. And then yes, just select rom, theme, or anything else you want and all done. I currently have a folder on sd named 'flash' with subfolders for firmwares, kernals, themes, apps and other.
I just flash away anytime anywhere I like and if I'm not happy I just flash back. CWM also has a backup function which is literally a life saver. Titanium is good for apps but rom manager / cwm backs up everything. I've had problems before and from cwm recovery selected restore and all good again.
