Okay but I thought it could be done with a PC ....thanks any way

Pls my phantom a pulse is no more entering recovery mode.. Pls what should I do

seunpayne: Good morning everybody. I initially planned to upload pictures with this tutorial (and maybe I will) but for now I can't so i'll try to make the steps as clear as possible.

So you clearly have an A+ (not on your report card though) and first order of business (after preening ofcoure) qould be to root it. well here is how:

Rooting
1. Download the root eroot v1.3 (you should be able to find the link here on nairaland. Too lazy to look) and pda.net (same as eroot). An alternative is to download my own root package here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5j_NCLhSSvIaFU4QXFFYnlFRHc/edit?usp=sharing

2. Install Pda.net and den open eroot. (this happens on a computer not your phone) Now on your phone you will have to navigate to Settings/About phone and click on build number at least 8 times. it should tell you something about now being a developer (as if it was that easy). go back one step and you should be back in settings. just above about phone you should find a new item called Developer options (a bit of warning here, dont mess with this area if you dont know what you are doing. part of being a developer is the ability to help your device "develop" problems)

3. just this once, click on developer options and at the top, switch it on and den scroll down and tick the usb debugging option. now go back to your homescreen and plug your device to your laptop. You will need to connected as USB storage or media device for the system to recognize your device. Eroot should display the name of your phone if done correctly.

4. Click the big green button and that usually should do the rooting. if succesful you should have a new menu item named "superuser". if so then your are rooted. congratulations.

5. if alternatively you downloaded my root kit then open the folder, plug your phone after doing steps 2 and 3 (minus the eroot. the pda.net is still important). click the run batch file. (usually the first one) and follow the on screen instructions). once done your phone would restart and you would be rooted. congrats once again.


CWM

It is imperative to note that while cwm isnt a must, if you ever plan to root your phone and enjoy its benefits then you must accept the fact that something might go wrong along the way. with that in mind i usually recommend this step immediately after rooting. if you wont flash cwm, then i will advice against rooting also (there is the door, thanks for stopping by).

1. Go to playstore on your phone and download "mobileuncle tools" (you must be rooted for this app to work).

2. once it is installed, download the cwm from here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5j_NCLhSSvISG5tSlRwYTQwc3M/edit?usp=sharing

3. now put the image inside your memory card directly (not in a folder) and open the mobileuncle tools and choose the Recovery Update option. It would be the first one you see on the list.

4. select it and say yes to all it asks..(it wont take advantage of you, I promise).

5. It should reboot into recovery. which is a dark screen with blue text. (in the future, use the power button + volume up button to enter recovery mode)

Now lets back up your phone.

1. you will need at least 2GB free to back up as well as at least 50% bat3. Use the volume buttons to scroll up and down and the power button to make selections.

2. once you are in recovery mode, scroll down to backup and restore and select it. next choose the backup option which is usually the first option. Sit back and relax cuz it takes a while. Once that is done, scroll down to go back and den select the reboot phone option to turn your phone back on


So now we have rooted and backed up our phone. We can even flash superman.


Unbricking

No there wont. However I can't say i'm sure that this version will work on e3. you can try though as this wont spoil your phone but it could spoil your recovery. Check the e3 thread and see if there is a link to get cwm for it.

seunpayne: Guys Check out My new rom here: The UI of Life: http:///VthyR

we never flex the thunder nightmare own finish, now UI of life don come. Oga Seunpayne toh bad gan.

I already downloaded the recovery.img for e3 on the e3 thread, just wanted to be double sure. Thanks for the reply and keep up the gud work.

seunpayne: Guys Check out My new rom here: The UI of Life: http:///VthyR

I can see the ROM has OTA updates unlike the Thunder nightmare ROM. This is good.

seunpayne: Guys Check out My new rom here: The UI of Life: http:///VthyR

Guys Check out My new rom here: The UI of Life: http:///VthyR

franciscogee: link no dey go oo

The links are there. Please try again

idee.esperanza:

Seun, apart from the OTA update, does it has unique features like the Thunderous Nightmare?

Too many to mention. It's a brand new experience. I myself still marvel at its intuitiveness. Lemme jist you a few features :
Complete data control. Never waste my again
Too smooth with iPhone like transitions : it is the ui of life after all
Ability to force close apps with the touch of a button: now temple run no go chop ram
Put on the torch from the lock screen
Messaging app one of the best I have seen
Themes.... Lots and lots. Change your device fonts, and general look with total ease without the fear of bricking.
Root and unroot: it's just a switch on and it's rooted. Off and it is uprooted.
Wow... Just port joor

what the ROM's know issues with Google play?
