Do you guys want me to make a rooted stock image that can be flashed in odin and not trip the counter? I thought every variant had this now once the stock roms are released....
I'm not really sure what screenshot i could show you that would help I can put a video together later tonight if that would ease your concerns. I'm headed out for dinner right now but ill do this when I get back.
So this is the partition layout for the sprint variant.
/boot emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
/efs ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p20
/recovery emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p19
/data auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 length=-16384
/system ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14
/cache ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
/external_sd vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1
I don't know if ours is exactly the same but the part that matters is that our recovery partition is mounted in the same place. That is the only part you are modifying with this. The root should be pretty generic that shouldn't cause problems. I am currently running titanium backup to restore all my data. So its up to you if you want to try it but, It works and that includes CWM and the Root.
