Oh yeah! Finally! This is great. I donated 10% of the price i paid for the phone.
Fair, no?

thanx
When I was at the point when it asked if I wanted to install “Clockwork Mod” I said yes with a cap “Y” and the Run Window disappeared so no confirmation of install. The Boot-loader still has “Revolutionary” and S= off but no recovery mod. Ive tried starting flash over but no dice.
Shall I reset to factory settings to start over?
