Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] [ROM]Stock|Root|Odex|DeOdex LJ3|MB2|MF2

First!

IF YOU DONT PROVIDE SCREENSHOTS THEN HOW WILL WE KNOW HOW it LOOKS LIKE? :(

edit: also shoot me your updater script as your guide says you have to be on lj3 didnt know if that was due to issue syou had or what. maybe we can work through em :)
haha figured everyone has an idea of what the stock rom looks like.. and i mean you dont neccessarily NEED to be on LJ3, but this is based off it so better to be safe than sorry.. but yeah i'll sen em all your way haha feel free to give ANY advice :D

i have a few questions for u bro ha=p 1. Can i just flash this over stock or do i need to do a full wipe and then install?. 2. When you say its a work in progress what is still needed to be done on the rom if everything works?. 3. Once this rom is installed can you still recieve updates from samsung like lets say updates like the jellybean?

1 yes, you can flash the 'flash.zip' files over stock, but if your coming from pure odex stock, then a data wipe is required for the rom to boot :D

2 it's a WIP because i dont have the whole rom in flashable zip form.. only the backups are the full system :/

3 im not 100% sure about that.. as with any rom the risk is yours to take.. it's not difficult to flash the pure stock odin for the new update if you want to feel safe, im almost positive you'll need/want the stock recovery for a full firmware/OS update :D

@ mike: haha yeah just for now.. i still haven't flashed any of the roms over yet.. i like the stock rom, good change from GB still discovering new things about it and learning stuffs lol

still uploading the backups LOL, got the flash zips finished haha gonna update OP soon as i can :p

haha guys shabby is 100x the dev ill ever be, him, PG and all those guys who actually ported a rom over to this device did way more work than this ever took... i feel guilty taking a lazy way out like this but screw it, it works for now lol... not trying to say i don't want to work on any projects with these guys, but what im trying to say is they're probly better off without me lol because they'll be talking me through everything as it gets done hahaha..

im really just a themer/modder who occasionally pretends to know what he's doing LOL, but none the less i truley appreciate all the nice comments and the support :D this is just a hobby of mine as it is with shabby, pg and all the greats out there.. sorry if some of yu devs feel left out lol hard to remember everyone's names but you all know who you are :D

at least i promise NOT to INTENTIONALLY brick anyone's device LOLOLOL

well guess what... i fixed the data issue :D so i uploaded all that crap lastnight for nothing!! LOL

i now have the rom in full flashable form 100% working :D will update everything momentarily as i make sure everythings good

one thing i did notice is if you try flashing and booting with usb plugged in.. it wont boot lol that pissed me off figuring that one out...

It's 5 O'clock somewhere! lol

Awesome work LD... we can never have too many options for this thing.
;)

(PS - can I dirty flash this over iOS?)
wait.. gs3 has an ios? eeewwwwwww!!! go away!!! haha i suggest bleaching your device before flashing this LOL

nah seriously it shouldn't be an issue, if it dont boot than just wipe data/factory reset in TWRP then try again :D
