Please read before installing or posting
Dualsim variants (a5dwg, a5dug) are supported, but not fully functional. It's not possible to make calls if you selected 2G as preferred network mode. This is a known issue so please do not post any report about that! I would suggest you to only use one sim card with the dualsim variants.

Is this only enabled to flash on the a5dug?

With your recovery in the OP I get installation aborted?

Whoa, now I'm getting this.

Tried downloading twice in case I got a bad download, and I restored my backup just fine so I don't think any of my partitions are screwed up?

Formatting /system is no problem. When I try to mount /system is says Error mounting. Nandroids can restore system though.

And I cleared out /cache/recovery before booting back into CWM and trying everything again but I still have like 9 logs.

I hope you can make single SIM work! The virgin mobile model is single SIM. I really appreciate your hard work man!
