Root CWM3 not showing up

If you have to, Go under the Icarus thread on here and find how to install CWM 2.5.1.8. Then try to flash the Cm7 again. Just make sure you are doing a full wipe. If you are having major problems, Flash back to stock first. Then try to get a new CWM on it and after that's okay/functioning, Proceed to doing Cm7 again.

when you get uim error you have to flash back to stock to remove the error, cause if you try to install cm6/7 with the uim error, you will have problem, i would suggest revert back to stock using this: https://market.android.com/details?id=me.abitno.vplayer.t&feature=search_result, than extract it to the desktop, than put your phone in fastboot by pressing vol down, end key and tap power, than open the metro script recovery folder and run fastboot-windows and run metroPCSStock-windows.bat if metro is your carrier.

and to get cwm2xx is jus get the file n bring up the boot loader? is my usb suppose to show up on myXP or jus the sound, when i bring up bootloader?

your phone has to be in fastboot to install cwm 2xxxx or you can download rom manager and it will install 3xxxx.

word....let us know how it goes...also make sure after the phone reboots after you flash it let it load to the main screen and call someone to test it and make sure uim error is gone. than just turn it off once its confirm the phone works, and go ahead and fastboot it, and install cwm...oh make sure you have cm7,gapps, and metro off on your sdcard. after you install cwm, pull battery and boot into recovery, than you can make a backup if you want to, than go ahead and wipe everything and format boot, data, cache, system, than move on to installing cm7.... Good Luck.
