Root [MetroPCS] A bunch of stuff for f6 metro. Root, recovery, fuse sd, team black out etc

[Tokenpoke]

Thx, ill be waiting for the system dump, no hurry.

You just want system? Because I'll have to add bloat back in.

 

[Tokenpoke]

Or like a full dump of mccblk0?

 

[lilcoward]

A full dumb, because I back up some apps with rom toolkit lite and now I cant restore them, would appreciate if you could.

Oh! You want all system apps and odexes! A dump of the partition won't help you too much, I'll just pull the apps and zip them up for you. Just unzip and use a root browser to either copy over your system/app folder or pick and choose what to put back.

 

[lilcoward]

Ok, thank you.

 

[Tokenpoke]

Ok, thank you.

Compressing now
Its 636mb worth of files so it might not be up until tomorrow morning.
I have both the app and apps(bootup) folders. Just unzip and overwrite existing folders in /system to restore all system apps.

 

[lilcoward]

Ok, have you tried flashing themes or fonts yet on the F6?

 

[Tokenpoke]

No. I'm doing as little as I can to brick it until playfulgod gets a working native recovery. Or I find a kdz type flash method.

 

[lilcoward]

Oh, ok

 

[Tokenpoke]

Oh, ok

Oh! Stupid me! I forgot that I got the kdz already! Duh.

Ok. Let this upload and I'll see what I can do.

I wouldn't mess with themes yet. That requires a systemui.apk modification. I'm learning how to safely do that still.

 

[lilcoward]

How do i install the kdz or do i extract it?

Go here. Kdz can be downloaded.

Link in first post should take you to tmobile section for flashing instructions.

 

[lilcoward]

Ok, thank you.

 

[Tokenpoke]

Ok, thank you.

It's up! https://www.dropbox.com/s/h47dyx1f407crhn/f6systemapps.zip

 

[lilcoward]

Thank you for the "dump".

 

[JesseBanks]

I'm sorry but what exactly is kdz?

 

[Tokenpoke]

It's a factory stock restore method

Toke, thank you for taking the time to post this and keeping us in the loop. I was on the verge of buying a brand-new GS3 from MPCS, but the $369 price tag was just a bit over what I wanted to pay.

With the F6 now having a decent root method/bloat removal/apps to sd card in place, I can now purchase this instead!

Lol. Thanks.
When I first came here I happened upon some of the best guys and figured if they do all the work for these devices I may as well help where I can too.

Ok. I figured out how to install fonts... kinda.
Only seems to work for web browser right now, I may have to edit some system files to get the main screens working.

I used font installer (root) by jRummy. Link in a second.

In theory you should be able to use that setup. Wine isn't a very big application. Might take a while though, Just due to limited data transfer speeds on usb.
No apk based root that I know of works for this phone.

Guys u wanna customize ur phone completely. Then download 360 launcher u can change fonts,wallpaper,lock screen themes, and. Has tons of features. That's what i use and I'm very goddamn happy with it.
