XZRDualRecovery

Stipped FTF [C5502] 10.4.B.0.569 Customized MEA
or you can create your own stripped FTF by open it as zip (with winrar or 7z) and remove system.sin from it

4.2.2
4.2.2 FTF [C5502]
4.2.2 FTF [C5503]
OR
4.1.2
4.1.2 FTF [C5502]
4.1.2 FTF [C5503]


Please NOTE... If you want to keep data you will need to wipe camera before flashing anything (from settings->apps->all) and immediately turn off your phone (if you've tuned on wipe camera data again) and UNCHECK DATA in WIPE section, If you do not wipe camera data before flashing anything and uncheck data in wipe section your camera won't work.
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
Please NOTE... Somebody have reported that he installed the newest version of busybox by using the Busybox X app by Robert Nediyakalaparambil from playstore and lost both ROOT AND RECOVERY, And have to flash the procedure again! So think twice before updating your busybox

Please another NOTE :D ... if you have offline charging problems try installing this recovery

Backup problem

I don't wanna be off topic, I am happy to try any ROM I just cannot make a proper NAND backup with CWM.
It skips an important .img, normally size of about 1 Gb.
When restoring a backup like this, apps are missing. The backup/restore is worth nothing.
I think it is some mounting problem.

Do you know anything about this before I try your rom? (I know it has nothing to do with your ROM, I just wanna make a fine NAND)

what CWM do you use? cause I made a success NAND backup with cwm and my recovery, try my dual recovery and see if it backup everything ?
also be sure to have enough space

alright I found the problem and now I'm uploading the file but as my uploading speed is very low try this for now =>
download this => http://d-h.st/GbR
open your rom zip with 7zip or winrar
go into META-INF\com\google\android and drag the updater-script into there ... wait for it to complete then flash it again and tell me the result ...
sorry for that.

I also had the same problem (Status 6). Now doing your repair and will see what happen.

Edit: not working. I couldn't enter recovery so had to flash again in flash mode. Now when flashing zip i get status 7. Some symlinks failed.
