Hi all!! I hope everyone had safe St. Paddy's Day.
Well here goes..I am helping a friend out with his ZtE Source,I have rooted the phone and am in the process of trying to flash the only rom

<http://androidforums.com/source-all-things-root/824025-rom-oc-kernel-open-android-ssh-sorta-stock-hera-aroma-custom-installer-updated-03-06-a.html>

pretty much for this phone and I have hit a wall. It seems I need to flash the rom via cwm which i am currently declaring impossible due to the fact that my paid version of 4ext is no help because the phone is not compatible. Well anyways I have managed to install cwm but unfortunately by default it keeps booting into recovery (stock) every time and I can't get into cwm recovery instead of stock...I know I've overlooking something. So any suggestions on how to get into cwm recovery would be very much appreciated..Thanks in advance!

Booting into cwm will be done exactly the same as booting into stock recovery mate.
I dont know the phone but im guessing cwm failed to install.
Did you use a version of cwm thats built for that phone?

Hey thanks for the quick response,sorry I fell asleep last night.
So yes..it is a cwm for the phone

I'm thinking the same as you,something went wrong when installing cwm somehow. I will go back through the root process and see if that helps,any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kate and thank you
I was actually coming to post that i finally, after several attempts, got my cwm recovery so i guess it can actually be closed now. I went back through the steps involving cwm and got it to work, like I said it was a long day and I figured I had skipped over or missed something
Thanks everyone for the help and support :smokingsomb:
