Nice! Metro Mega already has working R&R.

Wish I have Mega -_- so I can work on base rom, debloat rom and so forth.. but I guess next step is wait for Firmware release

 

Hey


Excuse my ignorance ,but...
If I was to root my mega with Kingo, will I still be able to get KitKat ?

Thanks

 

Shoot!! I accidentally installed boot.img from other Mega -_-;;

Can someone extract boot.img.tar from Metro PCS Galaxy Mega?

It won't turn on Wifi ><

This is not my Mega, I have few hours of windows using this and I was trying hurry ><

Your help will be greatly apprecated.


(Edit)

Bricked -_-;; it stuck at Samsung Logo... oh no.. TWRP is still working but it errors out during CM11 flash. hmmmm

 

Oh wow it worked.

First I thought your back up was a stock rom so I didn't try. But it actully is a NAND backup right?

After I messed up, I first tried to flash CM11 but installation was failed so I didn't try flashing another rom.

But after checking more thread, your cleanbackup is TWRP restore files so I gave it a try and it worked.

You saved my Mega Thanks!!

 

how do you install the recovery?

 

Again, as bnb25 stated @ original post. DO NOT install files from the XDA root/recovery thread. Only trust tested files on this thread only.

I accidentally installed the boot.img.tar file from the XDA thread and lost the WIFI capability then eventually lost the whole OS ><

 

bnb25,

Do you know if CWM recovery is also working with Metro Mega?

I am trying to create a base rom for Mega but TWRP nand backup has their own naming (.win000, win001).

I searched around for coversion method but it's not working and they are not compatible with android kitchen.

Thus, I am thinking about to install CWM instead of TWRP, but before install I want to be careful.. eh.. certainly not want to repeat the mistake -_-;;


Edit)

I just went ahead and odin'ed CWM recovery version. CWM works as well

The buttons are little bit different than LG devices though... instead of power button the home button is select and power button is cancel. Almost got me to wipe out data ><

I am making NAND backup of CWM. Hope I can get kitchen going on after this.

 

Well I got used on CWM and its nand back up (easy to work with kitchen) so I am sticking with CWM

I already set up kitchen and cooked Metro Mega base rom (bloated, zipalign, deodexed).

I am flashing it now -.-v

I know we already have CM11 and rom from others but it's good to have a rom from local isn't it?

Wish me luck lol

edit)

1st attemp - install error, script fixed

2nd attemp - install success, but bricks -_-;; i think symlinks and permissions are missing...

 

I'm in need of some assistance.
I have my Galaxy Mega on Metro Pcs. Woke up today and decided to root it or at least ( attempt ) to root it myself. I looked up a couple tutorials and eventually did it. BUT, due to me being inexperienced I didn't make a "backup" of anything.

So now, I'm stuck with a Galaxy Mega that seems to be rooted on another platform other than Metro's. I also am unable to use the Wifi feature, and it seems that I can't transfer files via USB - PC

I tried reverting my mistake but I don't think I'm flashing the right thing. Can someone please guide me in the right direction as to flashing this Mega back to the way it was. I don't want to bother with the root anymore, I just want the phone back to the way it was.

I'd really appreciate any help you gentlemen could give me.

 

I followed this tutorial.
How to root Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3
I hope there is a way I can undo what I did.

 

I didn't make any backups. I don't have any sort of custom recovery of the sort. I know it was foolish of me and I am usually more carefully, especially with this type of stuff.
Is there anything I can do? Not having Wifi and no way to connect via usb is a great downside.

 

:sadface:
Still didn't work. I redid the who root process & flashed the recovery from this post, Odin said it passed.

I still don't have a Wifi Connection on the Phone.
Anything else? This really is depressing, a phone with no wifi connection is frustrating sometimes.

 

When I press; Home Button + Power Button + Volume Down I get into a "download mode" sequence, the only option I see there is to continue ( volume up ) or cancel ( volume down )

When I press Volume Up it goes into download mode. When I was in Odin, Odin recognized the phone and "Added!" it to the message box.
I will try flashing the ROM you presented, but when I do that. Can I use Odin or should I use something else to flash the Rom..
As well as, how do I save a backup. I don't see an option for that in the "download mode"

Ps. I really appreciate your assistance, Thanks alot man. I hope I can get this working..
