  1. thanks for helping get the word out and making things easier to find for people. also i have an automated install procedure out though id prefer if you learned to do things this way or using adb and the bootloader method, if that seems to daunting, you still have options

  2. Ok now can you guys include a method to uninstall the clockworkmod, so we can get back warranty. I want too use zte updater tool so i can get back to stock.
