Either use flashify....or, use a bit of recursion....use TWRP to flash the TWRP from this thread!! TWRPception!
Wait is this possible now? I know for a fact it was not previously possible to flash an .IMG file with twrp but I noticed this blue TWRP build had a new function that says "Flash Image". Does this mean twrp now flashes IMG files? And why didn't it before? Its a crucial function and its absence always puzzled me. And by the way I used flashify to flash the recovery provided in OP and it worked fine, however, xenon flashed fine as well but then boot looped infinitely. (I know these kernels do that before boot sometimes this wasnt a case of impatience.) The weird part is this, I did a full wipe before flashing it, TWICE, and after flashing the new build it booted back into the 9/06 cm12 ROM. How is this possible? I did a full wipe and I even confirmed this by checking my internal storage via twrp file manager .. It was empty.... At least the data partition was, is it possible it didn't wipe my system and only wiped my data because my system was not mounted or something? Shouldn't it have informed me with an error If this was the case? Sorry about the great wall of text but I wanted to go in in my first post ;)

Not sure about the .img thing I would hqve to look into it. Also I got to say I am a little bafold about you saying it booted back to CM. Did you wipe the system partition before flashing.

If you go into the blue TWRP and say wipe, it just does does a cache wipe. Not system. You have to hit advanced and select system. If that isn't the case, is it possible that you have a CM ROM in the same directory and accidentally flashed the wrong one?

I noticed an oddity the other day. Not sure if it just me, but here is what is happening.

I use the alarm on my phone a lot. When the alarm goes off and I dismiss it, every time I open up the clock app after that, there is an extra clock app that shows up when I look at all of my running apps.

When I close out the bottom most (most recent) clock app, and then go back into the app switcher, all the other clocks are gone. While I have the clock app open, I can go and close out ALL of the other clock apps (that are basically all of my previous dismissed alarms), and they will not return until an alarm goes off. After a while, there can get to be quite a few of those apps taking up space!!

Doesn't seem to mess with performance, just something strange.

i flashed the MS345(MetroPCS) variant on my tmobile leon(H345) works great.however has anyone noticed the ambient dispay feature does not seem to work?the toggle flips but as soon as you back out of the menu and go back in it toggles off automatically.
also,whats the deal with the Kernel on this baby?im reading that it has an MSM8916? board,and that a kernel can be created,someone with the knowledge and ability would have to tak it on as a project from what i can gather.what are the chances?

The Leon does not have an ambient light sensor. That is why the menu option keeps reverting back.

As for the kernel... Not air sure what you mean... This is being compiled for the device. @TMacgnolia has been working on it!

Having Trouble installing this firmware on my H345 (H34510e bild LMY47V) used flashify to install the TWRP Recovery on this post and tried to install update-XenonHD-1-13-16-signed-c50.zip I always get this error:
ggI0xj5.png

and if I remove the signature verification it just fails the flash:

bnc5WO9.png

can anyone explain what am I doing wrong and how to fix it?

Well I basically converted my H345 into MetroPC because I could not find the H34510D_00.kdz (broken links everywhere) and was able to flash the firmware, but I have no network signal (can't make or receive calls with this firmware).
Sounds like you need to use the
Recovery I made that is posted in the OP of this thread. If you still get a error in instalation try to install the other recovery for metro pcs variant I have linked in the OP, but use the zip that is for the metro pcs variant which the download is also in the OP. One of the two recoveries should work for you.

I used the "blue TWRP" and the Metro PCS rom. Check the APN to make sure you've got T-Mobile selected and you should be good to go.

This ROM is magic on this phone...Thank you to the OP...I keep on having soft reboots occasionally because of a layers theme that I installed...could I reflash on top of the ROM without wipe to reset to the original theme without deleting anything?

Also can anyone recommend a dark layers theme or any other theme that they use on this ROM that does not give them any issues?

Thanks

Are you sure it is the theme that is causing the reboots. A number of users (myself included) have experienced soft reboots because of the GPS. Try to turn that off first and see if your reboots stop.
