yes, not working with 4.3
what image it skip? if you don't have external memory card one image will be failed which is normal and it is ok, (the image is the cache on external memory) the data and system images is the most things you need! not sure why you can't get it to workI have enough space. Already when making the NAND backup it display one of the images being unsuccessfull, it kinda skips it.
It is ClockWorkMod 6.0.2.8, I have installed it with .244. (the one you always have to install, because it is gone after reboot or so)
Does this help?
I appreciated your feelings but still it is not a great excuse to qoute the whole op
I mentioned the rom in thread name, it is customized mea, which means middle east area.this is perfect!!
Before I dl and flash I just want to know what rom customization is this based from? (US, Russia, etc?) Just want to know if it comes with all standard apps and input keyboards, etc.
thanks!
yup it is why i made it
no but i can make a deodex flashable one, however I'm at travel and will get home untill saturday.
also you can try to install my recovery, it does have philz touch recovery and will get a great NANDI have enough space. Already when making the NAND backup it display one of the images being unsuccessfull, it kinda skips it.

hello someone to run this method and tried many times and nothing. locked bootloader
Sent from my C5502 using xda app-developers app
I mentioned the rom in thread name, it is customized mea, which means middle east area.
that way if you flash your own ftf you have everything from US (kernel, baseband, radio, etc.) but still you will have some MEA bloatwares installed which you can delete them, also your phone will knows as MEA unless you change build.prop and make it US.Can you pls clarify one more thing pls. Based on your instruction: Please NOTE... If you already have 4.3 Rom you can flash yours instead of stripped but you should check Exclude System on Exclude before flashing
I assume this is for step 4 ( for 4.3 with a working recovery): Flash Stripped .FTF with flashtool? Since your rooted rom is based on MEA and if I have own US rom, by flashing that and excluding the system files, will I eventually get the US custom rom or still MEA?
will do tonight
I followed your instruction to update my C5503 except I ve replaced your stripped ftf by a C5503 s (I did it in flastool from the C5503 Nordic) but now my phone is showing as a C5502.
I edited the build.prop so now it s fine in settings app/about my phone but still in Pc Companion it shows C5502.
Overall I don't really care as long as I get root and the update.
However I noticed also in settings app/mobile network that my option have changed and the LTE option is not there anymore.
There is no 4g LTE yet in my country but I may use my phone in Europe or US soon.
Do you have a fix for that?
I was thinking creating a new stripped ftf in Flashtool from another firmware for C5503 and flash again? What do you think?
