In most cases it will need to be pulled from a device running 4.4.2

for your D959, you can get it here tho.

I have the kk modem for the D950 on codefire too.

Thanks for the link playful. Got a question though. I did the three wipe method (dalvik, cache, and system) like you said and flashed the cm11 both downloads I download numerous times ,I thought maybe I got a bad download. And both downloads every time I flash comes up "failed" I'm on 4.2.2 rooted with twrp installed. I reran your freedom apk to make sure the f340 aboot was installed. And still nothing. About 10 sec after the "updating partitions" line comes up it pops up in twrp "failed". Any suggestions? Hints?

Your instructions I see don't actually say to wipe system does that make a difference? And also your instructions describe the cwm recovery options. Should I be using cwm instead?

Twrp doesn't like 4.3 and higher. Don't have a clue why. Cwm Will do the trick. Which is a bummer for me because I really prefer twrp.

It's old school button style but it has the swipe left or right for back and enter. Doesn't work that great though.

thanks man, if we could get twrp to work, I would feel much safer testing and trying different things out, but, with no custom recovery, and after already bricking this thing once, I prefer to leave well enough alone...
