This is not meant for ODIN. it is a simple CW recovery Backup with a flashed root preactivated.
it is meant to replace the clockwork backup folder on the root of your sdcard to be used in recovery to restore.
in this case you will restore a Stock Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy III (SPH-L710) Rooted Pre-activated backup and all that, that it entails.

This version has superuser which has a bug in it i suggest once you are up and running to install SuperSU and replace it. (the Bug when set to auto grant it will deny) switch to prompt and load the New SuperSU simply via playstore

The clockwork recovery used was the one in the Root guide not the new one posted for our device.
inside you will find

nandroid.md5

to use simply
1. copy your existing master recovery folder to PC or rename to something else
2. Extract the Folder and it's structure to the Root Directory of sdcard.
3. reboot into Clockwork recovery
4. Restore from SDcard and Profit.

if you get any errors about a md5 mismatch in recovery edit the nandroid.md5 and remove the md5 information and it should allow for its use.

Didn't flash for me. It failed.

 

[Bulldogz1097]

your guide is confusing because i did not download any modem file

 

[lordmage]

my bad was going to make a flashable modem file but it borked ran out of time forgot to pull the info.

Thanks! I am downloading now and will let you know if it flashes. Any chance that you have a stock non-rooted VM backup for the L710?

To clarify, this is not a "flashable" zip file. This is a zipped archive of a stock CWM backup. You will unzip the contents and place in your clockworkmod backup folder on your SD card and restore with CWM

 

[lordmage]

a stock non-rooted VM backup for the L710?

in my case no i wanted to provide a stock rooted rom since in most cases the people who need them rooted.
