So I guess that if I don't have the bootloader unlocked I'll not be able to get the new one with the real recovery, right?

Thank you very much! I hope we can have more and more ROMs for our device considering it's a really great one

I installed Emma and registered, but i didn't received a password.
is it normal to have such a delay ?

if you copy the file "customization.ini" to the installation folder you dont need to register...

Is it supposed to be an official recovery? because I had Philz recovery and tried to used this tool, it sayed "bootloader update", i did it and nothing changed...

Is there any way to install it without emma? As I understand emma is a tool for windows, which is the one os I need for nothing.

I unlocked my bootloader without Emma, at the official site, give it a try:

edit: also, I tried to update it with Emma, not sure if it worked or not, 'cuz I dont know how to check if its updated :x

I did not ask about unlocking.
The question was about updating.
Simple flashing recovery partition is impossible until it does not exist.

It's said in the fxp website (fxpblog.co) that they're going to release a ftf package with the updated bootloader for the yukon devices (included our T3) soon but it seems it's not still available.

I hope I helped you.

Have a nice day
