Success! Thank You so much, drowningblue!! Got the CWM-based recovery screen. Now it is at this point that I want to do a backup, right? After that, I can use this to flash kitjelly?
Edit: I went ahead and backed everything up to my sd. Real problem, though. Saw it in Es Browser and a split second later it was gone. For some reason lately all files recently created or copied over from PC seem to get deleted somehow from external sd card.
Edit2: happens every time I reboot. I back it up, then go back and can see the backup when i choose restore from exSD. Once I reboot, I choose restore from exSD and the backup is gone. Come to think of it, this happened about a week before I rooted the phone. I took a picture over the weekend that was stored on my exSD, and Monday it was gone.
Edit3: The issue of files disappearing from my external sd card seems to be an issue w/ the 64GB Skandisc micro SD card. ScanDisc is aware of this problem and may issue a repair or replacement. I went ahead and used another SD card to get the backup on my PC, but I might just wait till I get a replacement SD, before I go any further.
