Root [MetroPCS & T-Mobile] Any Custom ROMS?

Ok I'm having no luck. I downloaded it twice and both times it downloaded just fine. When I try to extract the file it gives me an end of file error. Seems to be corrupt.

Someone uploaded a file for me once and I got the same thing and it turned out to be that they were on a wifi connection and probably lost connection during the upload.

Not sure what to do at this point, been trying to get this for a few days now. I already did a lot of the work for the rom.

Well, this is an archive, and there's also a tar.b and just a regular .tarr file, do you need both of those as well? Since it's an archive, I thought it was strange taht you didn't need all parts.

Yeah I saw that lol. There was a few init.d scripts. I should be fine though. If I end up needing that clean version I'll let you know. Thanks

If there's any bloatware you guys want removed from the rom, let me know. Just post here the exact names of the apks so I can find them easily.

just all the metro stuff basically...

This post has a nice list Clicky

Maybe review it, I think its safe to say all of those are pretty useless.

This is also another list Clicky

- Again sorry about that.

- Gut that pig, all the Metro Bloat if possible. I saved the stock SMS, Camera/Gallery. We can still de bloat it on our end once you're finished if necessary.

- If you can get a cooked ROM with working radios, 4G, WIFI, GPS, Bluetooth and a backlight that turns off I'm happy. I know thats asking a lot LOL!
