First, the obligatory disclaimer:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!!! IF YOU BRICK, IT'S NOT MY FAULT!!! Although, being the nice guy I am, I will try and help you unbrick to the best of my abilities. Also, I am using the latest version of CWM, which will probably have some bearing on your success of installing this.

*AHEM*, now that that's out of the way, thank you for visiting my thread I'm assuming you're reading this because you want a stock-rooted image of the latest update for your Sprint Transform Ultra.

A few of the things I've included/modified (depending on which backup you download):
-Rooted.
-BobZhome's kernel pre-installed. (BobZhome , I apologize for not getting permission in advance...pm me if this is a problem)
-RomToolbox Lite, Superuser by ChainsDD, Titanium Backup (free version), and SpareParts+ Lite pre-installed.
-CPU set to 576min, 1401max, and smartassv2 governor using Rom Toolbox Lite's built-in CPU tweaker
-Qik messenger, SprintID, MyFiles, and Sprint Mobile Wallet uninstalled. I've found the first two to be some of the worst battery suckers of all the bloatware Sprint installs on the phone. The other two were just because.
-FG11 Build-only update (I will include baseband as well, as soon as I figure out how).

:Files you may need or want:
----------------------------
CWMKeeper - in case you want CWM but no root; helps keep CWM on the phone. Instructions in the hidey-place -->

Spoiler

*Not needed if you plan to root*
1. Download cwmkeeper.zip to the root of your sdcard
2. Odin CWM to your phone (if you don't know how to do this, please search the All-things root sub-forum), then immediately go into recovery mode.
3. Once in CWM, from the main menu, choose "install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > cwmkeeper.zip". When it's done, it should say you're rooted (thanks to bads3ctor for his tu_root_.zip)

FG11-stock-noroot - Just as the name implies; bare-bones stock with update. All I added was CWMKeeper. Follow instructions below to install.
sprint-fg11-rooted+_v2 - Stock FG11 with a few goodies thrown in.

------------------------
:Installation instructions:
------------------------

These folks have in one way or another helped me put out this image. Without their hard work, effort, and sacrifice, I would still probably be trudging along with a straight-out-the-box TU, and counting the days till I could afford a better phone. I've listed them in no particular order, aside from what popped into my head, fried as it is from sleep deprivation (it's 7:47 AM local time as I write this )

-bads3ctor for all the work done to figure out how to root the 2.3.6 in the first place, and for the tu_root archive.
-BobZhome for his kernel, and the work he did there.
-The creators of the apps I used/installed to do some debloating and such.
-mavrikmeerkat and Chevanlol for their work with CWM.
-Loota for his SPRINTSTOCK image, which allowed me to successfully receive the update in the first place, helping me figure out how to install apps without needing to attach a Google account to the phone, and helping others with this when I was unavailable.
-Anyone who has helped the above-mentioned people by testing, adding comments and insight to their hard work, and the like.
-This community, for being supportive, die-hard fans of a nifty little device, and inspiring me to help in any way I can.

If anyone feels I've made an error, and left a name out on the above Wall of Glory, please PM me and let me know.

--------------------------------
:Future Releases/Other thoughts:
--------------------------------
-Hope to include "Reboot Recovery" at the very least to the power menu, as soon as I find the file(s) responsible for the power menu, and how to add the option.
-(If enough interest is shown in my little project) More bloatware removal, as I become aware of it.
-Will be including baseband, as soon as I find out how
-Any suggestions to what I should add or remove? Please feel free to drop me a pm or reply to this thread.

Thank you. Yes, this is the latest update from sprint with root and BobZhome's kernel added.

 

Thanks

You could, but when you flash shevrom back over this, I'm pretty sure you would lose the update. If you want both, your best bet is to wait for Chevan's 6.0 release, which if I understand correctly, is just around the corner.

Yeah, I did remove a little of the bloatware, but guaranteed there's a lot more that could go. If shevrom is anything to go by, then a couple of the apps I use on a daily basis are bloat. But anyway, I've only removed the things I felt comfortale removing, and knew for sure to be bloat.

 

Rut-roh, Raggy! You, sir, may have bricked your device I've heard that if you pull the battery fast enough and reboot, you might be able to save the device.

I'm sorry I. Hope you're able to save it,one way or another. If this happens to too many others, I'll be pulling the image as a safety precaution...I don't want to be responsible for bricking peoples' phones.

 

I've heard mixed reviews on the subject. Some seem to get it and are able to go on as if nothing happened. Others (like bads3ctor) get it, and there's just no recovering the device without sending it to Samsung. What I do know for sure, is those who lucked out all say they pulled the battery as soon as the phone ram dumped, and they were able to go frrom there.

I still feel bad; it's like selling a friend a car only to hear the engine blew on them on their way home. Best of luck to you on getting your Ultra up and running again

 

Phew! Thanks for the update. I've gotta admit, my heart stopped when you reported the ram dump.

So how do you like the image so far?
