If you need CWM Recovery, you can find it here thanks to stedman420

z998-cwm-recovery.img

I did not build this recovery and I have not tested it since i don't have this device. Use at your own risk.

Installation:

Place the img on the sdcard of your rooted device, and use terminal emulator or adb to run the following commands
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/z998-cwm-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

thanks super R I did read the PM I will contact you through here from now on I would like to see you come up with a unbreak tool for this phone I have one that is Brit and when you plug it in to the USB the red light blinks like it's trying to sideload something

Try one of the other unbrick tools. Use the device "tester" when you are asked to choose a device. Let me know if it detects your device in DFU mode. If so, I can make one for your device. If it does not detect your device you are out of luck.

It shows up on the computer as qhsusb_dload

Are you saying when you use the unbrick tool it says "qhsusb_dload" somewhere? If so you are doing something wrong lol. The unbrick tool will either say your device is not detected or it will show you a mount point. Try the unbrick tool using "tester" as the device and let me know what it says. You may need to boot to a different mode by using the various key combinations such as vol up + power, vol down + power, vol up + vol down + power, etc. Do this when the device is powered off. Run the tool trying all the various combinations to make sure you are in the correct mode.

So, this is my first experience at rooting, and i really don't know much but how do i install the img from post #3 on my rooted phone when i need the img to root the phone? I mean, for some reason it doesn't make sense to me.

The img does not root your device, it is a custom recovery for flashing roms and creating/restoring backups. You will need to root your device before installing the recovery.

You could try this one:

I don't have this device so try things at your own risk. Good luck :)

I tried it and the 3rd link (the stock deodexed B12 4.1.2 rom) seems to be the wrong file. it leads to a rom for the warplte:
warplte_B07_deodexed_debloated.zip

I tried flashing anyway but it tells me that there was an error because it was the wrong device.
