[Galaxy S III Mini General] apocalypse187:
Help! Semi new to this...Flashing CM-10.1

OK so... (and TO EVERYONE SORRY FOR THIS NOVEL, I JUST NEED HELP REALLY BAD)

First off i own two droid products

- Motorola Droid X2 (Rooted - Flashed with Eclipse Custom ROM)

- Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G (MetroPCS version SGH-t599N) (Just recently rooted today by way of Cydnia Impactor, SU access ready)

Now from page 1, seeing this thread is directly related to the SGH-t599N model, I have been sitting here for 5 hrs trying to flash the CM10.1 and gAPPs to my Exhibit with no avail... I've had slight problems rooting the X2 so trial and error is expected but this is taking too long and the install instructions on page 1 lack clarity...

I tryed with both Goo Manager and Rom Manager to flash the ROM in and get hits with these problems:

Goo.im(Manager app): Tap app<grants SU promissions< tap menu< tap Install OpenRecovery...<are you sure confirmation screen: YES< looking for recovery< No recoveries were found on your device (even tho i have both TWRP and CWM ready)...then i tap Flash ROMs<important message screen pops (you must have openrecoveryscript..... with two options

-a.)try to find one for me ((tapping leads to "No recoveries were found on your device"))

-b.) I already have one installed ((Tapping leads to No GooManager Folder...add and order button are there but clicking/tapping gives me the same "No GooManager Folder" response...Dead end.

Rom Manager(Manager app):Tap app<grants SU promissions<tap Recovery Setup< its ask to set up recovery by installing or update CMW recovery or option 2, Recovery already installed with listed options CMW and TWRP...clicking on either CMW from option 1 or 2 both lead to select model ((Samsung GS i9000, Epic4G, S3 MetroPCS, or Prevail 2 Boost Mobile which none are my SGH-t599N leaving me with the last option, "Device not listed above"< Tap "Device not listed above"< Message: SGH-T599N does not have an official supported CMW recovery yet, Have you installed a CMW based recovery manually...(asumming the CMW apk ive Downloaded i hit YES< ask for type CMW2.x or CMW 3.x+< ROM manager has been set to the existing Recovery< returns me to menu screen again with listed recovery as ((CURRENT RECOVERY: CMW 5.X.X.X Lastest Recovery 6.0.4.5 CMW Touch is available!...whatever that means...

then i click ROM management option: Install ROM< I select cm-10.1-20130922-Unofficial-codinamtr.zip and since using the basic version i can only do one zip at a time,its not loaded in the ROM addons section....heres were it gets weird....

I tap Install option: Reboot and Install< ask if i want to install in CMW< i confirm and it reboot to what looks to be some type of recovery screen, which ive seen before when rooting my DX2...but this time its missing the option to install Update.zip which was the option i chose to install my Eclipse Firmware on the DX2.. the blue text screen i see say and quote

this screen scares me a bit as when i was rooting the Dx2 I bricked my phone several times from this screen so knowing this i am hesitant from

select anything from this screen. so i click on reboot now and it returns me back to my normal setting with nothing changed and returning to full circle of trying to figure out how to flash the darn ZIP file........I am in extreme need of knowledgeable and successful people with the CM working properly on the Samsung Exhibit 4g (MetroPCS SGH-t599N)...

Any help? Sorry again for the novel, i just want to be as descriptive as possible
