A gave it a quick try-out & AFAICT,seems to work quite well.

Thanks for sharing this. Using it now and loving it.

Do you think it's my 128gb sd card? I don't have anything installed on it other the required files. But I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any step, and still got kernel panic error. I'm running PH1 verizon. I know I was dumb and copied in the extra verbiage, but that didn't impact cmd. I was rushing so I can show you.

@TechBSwift
From your screenshots everything look normal.... just be patient to boot....at least 20 minutes before boot to OS.

EDIT: glad that u got it work now[emoji106]

didn't break themes here. press and hold on an empty space on the homescreen. you should be able to get to em that way.

If you took T-Mobile's update, then you are out of luck; root will be impossible for you. Other than that, your download might be corrupted and you might want to try the whole process again.

[TechBSwift]

There's no way to flash the new phe update after already rooted and retain root?

it definately isn't an hour. start over, you did something wrong

nope. we already tryed with modded system.img and it loops continuously. your stuck on original firmware with root or new firmware without root. choice is yours.

 

[psychatog64]

Well doesn't that suck

pgc can be rooted, just don't take the update
and do it before it complains about the update the 3rd time cause then it's forced. and you have no choice
