INSTALLATION
Auto-Method
1) Extract the contents of the RAR file.
2) Double-click "Install.bat".
3) Prompt will open, click any button to proceed.
4) RSA Fingerprint message will appear on the phone (accept).
5) After installation procedure, type "y" and press enter to reboot into recovery!
1st Manual Method: Initiate ADB and use the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
adb push XXX.img /data/local/tmp/XXX.img
adb shell
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.[/COLOR]
exit
adb reboot recovery
2nd Manual Method: Place the img on your phone, then use a terminal emulator app with the following code.
Code:
[COLOR="DarkOrange"]REPLACE "XXX" WITH THE ACTUAL IMG NAME! DO NOT TYPE THE ORANGE WRITING![/COLOR]
su
dd if=/data/local/tmp/XXX.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[COLOR="DarkOrange"](Be sure to replace "data/local/tmp" with the actual place your img is stored.)[/COLOR]
Optional Method: If you want to run some safety checks first, use loki [method here as first option].
INSTALL THEME MANUALLY
1) Connect your phone to your PC.
2) Go into your "internal storage" (internal SD card).
3) Find and open the TWRP folder.
4) Add a folder called "theme".
5) Place the ui.zip into the "theme" folder.
ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to TWRP (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
SLOW WIPE CACHE FIX
1) Once in TWRP, go into Settings.
2) Check off the box, "Use rm -rf instead of formatting."
3) Go back and now go into Wipe.
4) Wipe Cache (or another option with wiping cache).
Credit: Credit goes to Dees_Troy and wolfgart, djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible, WACOMalt for his steps, and thecubed for his auto-install code.
USB-OTG
To access USB-OTG devices, go into the desired area (Install, Backup, or Restore). Select "Internal Storage" at the top. Press your USB-OTG device. It may take a second to show as selected on the screen. Once selected, press OK.
If your device does not show up, you can first try going to Mount and check off the USB-OTG box. If it doesn't allow you to check the box, then it doesn't support that device.
NOTE: It may not work with OTG cables and USB devices...
MISC.
Folder Name - There is an "issue" with the date and time [1970]. This issue is reflected in the backup folder names. There are two options to change a backup folder name:
Go into recovery and select Restore. Select the folder you wish to rename. There should now be an option to change the backup folder name.
Go into your TWRP folder by connecting to a PC or using a file explorer and change the backup folder name.
Time Zone - The time zone may be wrong but can be changed in Settings.

When I used Wipe Cache it took a long time to finish.
Ok thank you

I've noticed the time changing for certain things. One restore I did took nearly 30 minutes! I did restore after that took less than 10. As long as it works, that's all that matters! :good:
I'm on a Recovery Loop. Selected Reboot > System and it keeps rebooting to TWRP.

Did you have a recovery before this installed? If so, what recovery? Did you have a good WiFi connection when you downloaded the file (i.e @home, @restaurant, etc.)? Did you try any other methods before flashify?
This should be fixable in either case. If you have a backup from before, I suggest restoring. If not, then you may have to follow this guide to unbrick your phone.
Oddly enough, I'll be in Singapore tomorrow, but I won't be able to reply until late night.
Works perfectly. Thanks!

Heya! Restoring as we speak. Home networks pretty stable.
Currently downloading the firmware. I can see that the system was not mounted on TWRP. Hence the Recovery bootloop.
Jumped from the Samsung era, gosh I didnt know LG doesnt have much support.
Once back up, bahhh imma just remain stock till more Devs pops up.
Cheers man.

What is it and why am I getting this prompt? I'm rooted with 2.3.4
Obviously I shouldn't accept this update but does anyone know what this is?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Hi. I am new.
I just installed the ROM 2.3.4 last night that was posted in the xda forum(upgraded manually from 2.2 on a Unrevoked rooted Dinc).
I installed the 4.06 ROM and I am reading the official was 4.08...
Do I need another upgrade? Or is this 'the' upgrade that is for root users?
Not trying to steal your post ugxvibe. both of our questions might have similar answers.
if you update will you lose root control? What about all the apps? I'm most concerned about not being able to tether...
Just flash wildstangs 4.08.605.2 ota rom. It is the newest ota update, but already rooted.
how do I do that? Through rom manager?
Is there a way to stop the update reminder from popping up without actually installing it? I'm afraid I might mess up my phone and don't want to risk losing everything g on it.
Guys, to stop the prompt from appearing just press install and it will try to reboot but will just error and u will never see it again trust me .

Yes thru rom manager.
You can dissable the notifications by editing your /system/build.prop file. Look for:
ro.config.htc.nocheckin = 0
and change the 0 to a 1. If you dont see that line add it somewhere in the file.
I went to make the nocheckin = 1 modification, but I already had it, and I'm still getting the update notifications. Not even sure how it got there. All I've done is root with Unrevoked, maybe that does the edit?

It should have worked, you may need to clear the cache partition. Or there is another method go to /etc/security and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Like what was said above...
If you have Clockwork or some other custom recovery, if you just allow it to update when prompted, it will not install and will cause no other problems. You must have the stock recovery in order for the update to install.
It CANNOT install if you don't have the stock recovery.
But, I would also go into the /cache directory and find the update file and zap it (It will be obvious). I just use ADB and "rm" it from my PC. You could use root explorer or something. Otherwise you will have a big update file just sitting there and hogging space.

im rooted n using the clockworld mod for roms, I attempted to run the 4.08 update from User wildstang following the instructions but after installing the update n rebooting it just sits at "Dorid incredible" white screen and never boots. I may be doing something wrong here, can someone break it down for me? suggestions?
NOTE: I use CWMR 5X. Some wipe options below are not included in earlier recovery versions. Still wipe what is available the best you can.
1. Put the Rom on the root of your SD Card
2. Compare MD5 Sum
Windows: MD5 Calculator
LINUX: Open Terminal and type: md5sum [path to the rom on your sd card]
Mac: Open a terminal and type: md5 [path to the rom on your sd card]
3. Reboot to Recovery
4. Wipe these:
Main Screen:
wipe data/factory reset - x2
wipe cache partition - x2
Advanced:
Wipe Dalvik Cache - x3
Wipe Battery Stats - optional
Mounts and Storage:
Format-
/boot - x2
/system - x2
/datadata - x2
/data - x2
/cache - x2
5. Install Rom from SD Card by going back and selecting install from SD card.
6. Reboot and enjoy!
followed each step to the letter but still wont boot : /
Ok i changed nothing in the method of installing the rom and for whatever reason it worked!! 4.08 now phone is 10X faster and im loving it. Only issue i see now is i cannot get back into clockworld mod! why is that? i hold down power and vol down for a long time and when release it just starts the boot sequence any suggestions?

I had the same problem, but after two times running the install its still getting the hang. Hopefully I'll get better luck on try #3.
Did you figure out what caused the temporary issue?

OK I've found the file you're talking about and it doesn't have that line in it so I need to add it. I can't easily get access to a computer right now to run the command line on my phone so i have been trying to use the terminal emulator instead. It says I doesn't have a text editor...is there a way to edit via the emulator? Do you wkno which commands to use?
Thanks again
Yep, still having a minor issue with this. I have added the line suggested and I have cleared my cache yet I still get periodic prompts to install the update. I'm not really keen on doing so. Can anyone else suggest a way to stop the (weekly) prompts?
Thanks
[HOWTO] ClockworkMod Recovery & TWRP - Upgrade/Downgrade (Touch/Non-Touch Recovery)
IF YOU TRASH YOUR PHONE USING THIS PROCEDURE, THEN IT IS A VERY GOOD INDICATION YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND SHOULD NOT BE FLASHING ANY ROMS NOR PARTICIPATING ON THESE FORUMS. . . . JUST SAYIN'. . . .
Please be VERY careful when using this method as you can brick your phone. Make sure you triple check the file you downloaded is the right size and placed in the right area, but most importantly that the command lines you type are exactly right. If you are not comfortable using this method, then please do not and go find a flashable version of these recoveries.
I've posted a procedure to format/'flash' your recovery while on your phone in one of the threads on here and was asked by a Forum Mod to make a quickie guide to be placed as a sticky on the dev boards so others might benefit.
Anyway, here is a very quick and easy way to change your ClockworkMod recovery with a couple of command lines.
The TWRP link is in the second post.
Now for the ClockworkMod Instructions:
1. First, go here and look up your ClockworkMod recovery that pertains to your phone: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2. Download the .img file for your phone and save it on your computer.
3. Rename the .img file to recovery.img and save it to your internal sd card of your phone. For example: recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-hercules.img ------> recovery.img
4. Open up Terminal Emulator on your phone and type the following 2 commands:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
(please note the second command is a one line command with spaces between "dd & if=" and ".img & of=")
If your Rom identifies your internal sdcard as /emmc instead of /sdcard, then make the adjustment to command line (dd if=/emmc/recovery.img) instead of what is posted above.
That simple.
You can also issue these commands from adb shell if you are connected to your computer.
If Terminal Emulator does not have Superuser or SuperSU permissions for root privileges then make sure it does. You can also go from NON Touch CWM to Touch CWM using this and vice versa. Simply make sure you have the right recovery for your phone and rename it to recovery.img.
As for explanations:
dd if= command is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data.
dd stands for "data description"
if stands for "input file"
of stands for "output file"
the = is the location of the data you are using. ie. /sdcard/recovery.img
the /dev/block/mmcblk0p22 is the location/partition of the recovery on your phone.
So essentially you are doing a low level rewrite of the recovery image on your phone via command lines.
***Also, the best way to remember this command line is to not to. Copy the command line and save it to your own personal contact info in Google under Notes and then you will have it with you wherever you go. You really do not want to mess with getting it wrong. You could brick your phone if you mess things up.
Anyway, I hope this helps. . . . it really is very easy to execute without fault.
Works with TWRP too.
This also works with changing to and from TWRP. Download the image (for our phones it's TWRP 2.3.1.1) rename it to recovery.img and follow the above instructions and you are good to go.
Follow this link to get the image file: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101
***I attached the old TWRP 2.2.2.0 is case you run into problems with the newer versions not restoring backups properly or renaming backups correctly.***
Excellent Thread, I hope Dev's requiring specific CWM versions can link to your post.
Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for the instructions! Thanks even more for explaining the command lines.
Just thought I'd point out a small bug with the Touch Recovery. If you flash one of the newer ICS roms like Darkside Evolution through the Touch Recovery, once booted, the ROM WILL NOT SLEEP through time out. I've confirmed this with 2 separate ICS roms. Flashing non-touch recovery through Rom Manager fixes this problem.
Wouldn't it be easier to use gscript and run the commands as you need them?
Thanks for the HOW TO I actually was looking for it.
What is wrong with ROM Manager? I use it to go between Touch and normal all the time and it works flawlessly.

For some people Rom Manager doesn't work. On the T-Mobile SGH-T989 Galaxy SII, Rom Manager will only allow you to go to 5.0.2.6 not 5.0.2.7. And, I think you have to upgrade Rom Manager to go to Touch. I bought Rom Manager, and don't use Touch Recovery, so I am not sure.
I like to use the command structure verses program because I know it works, it's fast, and I can see the results if an error occurs.
Oh yeah...this was really simple...Thanks...went from Touch back to Non Touch.
Give this a try
If you want a simple way to flash the Touch Recovery then give this a try. I will be adding the Hard Recovery as well in the next release.

No! Do NOT use this procedure with that file extension!
What recovery are you trying to install? And for what phone? I briefly ran my cursor over the various files and the download links are either .img or .zip files. I did not see .ndif file extension.
PM me if you need additional help.
Would you happen to have the .img file for 5.0.2.7??
Edit* Nvm.. a quick google search and I was able to find it. You are a life saver.. I tried updating my recovery to the 6.0.1.2 Hercules port and for a couple days, it was working great up until an hr. ago. Nothing would flash and it would just hang in recovery... so I found this thread and thankfully I was able to downgrade back down to 5.0.2.7.
If you were local, I would take you out and get you piss drunk for helping me save my device. Cheers!!!!

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help you. But, the link to the .img files is in the OP instructions. . . .
Unfortunately this method did not work for me... I have tried many ways to update my CWM and none of them worked, it is almost hopeless for me
Good news! You made front page! http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)
For those of you who want a Touch CWM recovery on your phone I have converted the image file into an Odin flash capable .tar file. If anyone would like me to do the same for the other carriers I will do so, but please keep in mind I am unable to test those recoveries.
This is version 5.8.4.5 of the CWM Touch recovery. Backup/restore is confirmed working
This is for the T-MOBILE variant only and will most likely up your custom recovery flash counter. You have been warned.
Oh, and I am not responsible if you choose to DL this and brick your phone or otherwise, I tested on my phone and it flashed just fine.
Thanks Moonfire711 for this information:
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site, or DL the version provided and un'zip' it to your computer. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
I did NOT make this recovery or alter it in any way, I do NOT take credit for this recovery, it's CWM 100%
downloading now thanks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA Premium App
Thankyou! So all we do is download this tar and use pda in Odin to flash correct? And will rom manager recognize this recovery? (I didn't want to buy it on rom manager)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Flash through Odin yes, I just checked and Rom Manager tells me "There are no Touch recoveries available for your Device". Although I have flashed the Insecure Kernel so you may want to make sure you have STOCK kernel if you want Rom Manager to recognize your device. Otherwise it works as it should in recovery mode.
I tried a version earlier and it did not support external sdcard.
Don't know if this one is any different, but I doubt it.
This is probably the same version, No Ext SD Card support on it. I'll update the main post to show that, thanks for thinking about that. Though personally I'm willing to sacrifice that for a touch recovery, others may not.
EDIT: Looks like there are two options, SD Card and Internal SD Card. This has Ext SD Card support. Works on my phone with the Insecure Kernel.
So ext and int sd card both working? And we flash Odin pda check auto reboot?

Yeah can someone confirm ext sd card working?

OP, feel free to add these instructions to the OP for anyone that doesn't want to use Odin for any reason, and still wants to get this for free without using Rom Manager Premium.
Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site here. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).

5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
That's it.
Hope this helps someone out.
Looks awesome. Downloading..

Download the tmo touch recovery .img from the Clockworksmod site here. I don't know if these instructions will work for anything other than the tmo version at this point.
to install:
1. Rename the file to cwmtr.img to make this easier.
2. Place cwmtr.img in your root sdcard using step 3., or use your usb cable or some wifi explorer.
3. adb push cwmtr.img /sdcard/cwmtr.img * (skip this step if the file is already on your sdcard).
4. adb shell *If not using adb, and you want to use terminal emulator, start at step 5. with the file already on your sdcard.
5. su
6. dd if=/sdcard/cwmtr.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7. reboot recovery
That's it.
Hope this helps someone out.

Or you can download the .tar from the OP and do as follows:
1. Open ODIN
2. Reboot into Download mode (Vol. Down+Home+Power)
3. Plug your phone and ensure ODIN recognizes it in the box (com#)
4. Click PDA and add the recovery.tar file
5. Make sure it says "Pass" then unplug your phone and exit from ODIN.
Your phone will reboot and you should now have the touch recovery.
Yes ext backup is working, use the first option that just say "backup." I will assume the "restore" is for ext sd as well.
Man backing up takes unsually longer than the non-touch cwm. Also anyone know how to adjust the date and time of the folder it creates when you make a backup??
I know wrong thread, but same subject!, anyone try TWRP yet?

I hope your intent was to have what you typed put in the OP. If it was to negate what I wrote in any way, then the point was to offer a way that will not jump your flash counter (in case anyone cares), and to offer a way that doesn't require using Odin. Hell, I didn't even need a pc.

I put it on my phone for about one night, but didn't play with it much. I did make a backup and it seemed to work fine. It was just a little foreign to me, so I decided to stick with the touch version of cwm for now.

In my opinion, and this is only MY OPINION, TWRP is loads better. No offense to the great work CWM developer(s) does but I really dislike CWM. I've always used TWRP be it N1, Galaxy Nexus, Kindle Fire and now S3. The only time I strayed was 4EXT Touch (by Maxx) for N1, but there's no release for S3
I think 4ext is hands down number 1, I used trwp on my Kindle also its great but cwm does the job lol

Yeah, I posted in the N1 forum asking Max to bring 4EXT to SGS3 but he never responded. I may shoot him a PM and ask him.
That's exactly how I feel, CWM does the job lol. I much prefer TWRP though.

The root process worked for me. Now i can install link2sd and set up a swap partition.
I cant install TWRP and i think the reason is that the bat was having some problem to send that bootmenu.tar file to my sd card. I tried to send that file myself before starting the entire process and it didnt worked.
I took a picture of the error i'm getting . Thank you again, i was really mad about that low internal space xD

Yes but it sometimes gets unstable so you should overclock to 700MHz which is the highest I got without reboots. pll2_l_val=73 gives you 700MHz.

It worked for others but in your situation the only thing I can advise is to do a data wipe and relfash SBF file. Just go to Guitwo2's there to install permanent CWM.

No problem, we are all new at this once, right?
First Step: Downloads!
TWRP:
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/twrp-i927/twrp-2.8.4-for_odin.tar.md5
ROM:
Here is a matter of preference. If you want the latest *working* version, you can upgrade to 5.0, but you lose the camera. I presume you want the camera to work, so I suggest Bubor's CM11 for KitKat. There are other good roms too, like PAC and SediRom, but we will start with Bubor's CM11.
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip
http://dualhoki.vim.hu/bubor/dev/11.0/cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip.md5sum
ODIN:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/7us5q44aab1xl9d/Odin304.zip
Second Step: Prepare.
I am presuming that you are using a Windows computer. If you are using a Linux computer, I can tell you what to do also, but these instructions are for Windows. I am also presuming that you have an external SD card in your phone, if you do not, go buy one and put it in your phone.
Unzip the Odin304.zip by right clicking on it and say unzip/extract, etc. If your Windows does not have this option, you need to download a program like winzip or 7zip so you can unzip this file. If you need those programs, they can be googled and downloaded.
Third step: Further preparation.
Turn on your phone and plug it into a usb cord and plug the usb cord into your computer. If you are using Windows, it will try to find drivers for the phone. It should be automatic and just work. If it does not, then you need the drivers, which are here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/0up21ccc9gajwjv/Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe
*If you downloaded this file, just double click it like a program, it should open and install drivers for your phone. Do not do this unless your computer cannot find drivers for your phone!
Fourth step: Charge your phone.
Plug in your phone and FULLY charge it. ALL the way to 100% CHARGED. No exceptions. No shortcuts. Do it. Then UNPLUG YOUR PHONE AND TURN IT OFF.
Fifth step: Put TWRP on your phone.
a. Your phone should now be unplugged and off. Open the ODIN folder that you unzipped earlier and double click on ODIN to open the program.
b. Click on the PDA button ( you and I both know that your phone is not a PDA, this is not a typo ) and it will open a browser. Find the twrp-2.8.4-for_odin.tar.md5 file and select it. It should now fill in the blank line next to PDA with this info.
c. WHILE HOLDING THE UP VOLUME BUTTON ON YOUR PHONE, press and hold the power button. When you see "SAMSUNG" you can release the power button, but KEEP HOLDING THE UP BUTTON, untill you see a yellow triangle and warning notice. If you hold too long, that is okay as it will take you straight to the download mode with the green android that says "ODIN" at the top and "Downloading" in the middle. If you got stopped at the yellow warning/triangle, press up again to go to download mode.
d. Plug your phone into the usb, and the usb into your computer.
e. In the Odin program, press start.
You should now see a serries of verbage going by on the left, at the top a green bar may fill in, and hopefully, in the end it says "success" or "pass". Your phone should reboot all by itself. If ODIN says fail, ask for further instructions. If passed, close Odin.
Sixth step: Put your CM11 files on your phone.
Your phone should have rebooted and looks just like it did before, now powered on, and in your stock Ice Cream Sandwich firmware. As with any file transfer, plug your USB into the phone and computer. Drag the CM11 files to the phone. Anywhere will do, but if you have an external SD card in your phone, I recommend you put it there.
Seventh Step: Boot into TWRP.
a. Turn off your phone.
b. Unplug the USB.
c. HOLD THE DOWN VOLUME BUTTON and press the POWER BUTTON. When you see "Samsung" release the POWER BUTTON, but keep holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON. At the top of the screen, white letters should say something like "entering recovery".
d. When you see "Team Win Recovery Project" release the down volume button.
Eighth step: Make a backup!
a. Press "Backup" button on screen.
b. Check all checkboxes (system, cache, data, boot, Android Secure)
c. Press "Storage: sdcard (xxxx mb)" bar.
d. Select "External_sd" to choose to backup to your external sd card.
e. Slide the swipe bar to the right to backup. This will take a few minutes, with progress bar.
NOTE: if the screen dims, when you touch it, you will see a TWRP lock icon, swipe right to unlock it.
f. When backup is completed, it will say "reboot system", do not click that. Click the "home" icon in the lower left corner.
g. Click the "Wipe" button.
h. Swipe right to factory reset.
i. Click the "home" icon in the lower left corner.
j. Click the "install" button.
k. At the top, click on the "Storage: sdcard (xxxx mb)" bar.
l. Select "External_sd"
m. choose the cm-11-20160126-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip
n. When that is done, click on the "reboot system" button.
The system will reboot. You should now see CM11's boot screen. The first boot takes a bit of time.
Ninth step: Thank Bubor.
a. Log into XDA.
b. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/captivate-glide/development/dev-cm-11-0-t2802184
c. Slap every thanks button that is for a post by Bubor untill it tells you that you cannot slap any more thanks buttons (that is only 8 thanks per day).
Tenth step: Enjoy your phone!
....I think you know how to do that.....
If you have ANY questions, please just post them here and we will see if we can answer them.
I am thanking you so very much! Also... I do apologize for such a time lapse in my reply. Life happened.
I followed the above procedure and have CM11 installed. But my problem is I can't use my SIM card anymore because it's like my phone doesn't see it at all. I checked my settings and saw that I no longer had an IMEI number. I used the restore feature and the stock ROM had an IMEI number. What should I do? I saw a few threads about using a program to rewrite the IMEI or others to copy the file containing the IMEI but I wasn't really sure what I should do or how to copy files to and from that partition from my computer. I should add that the phone is unlocked.

Great question, and an interesting problem!
First, I am really glad that you followed the instructions and made a backup! It is good to know that you can always go back to the way it was.
I recommend that you download another rom from the developer section here, such as Sedi-rom, omni-rom, etc., and try flashing that. If you flash one of those roms, does your IMEI stay for those roms?
Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789727
You can do steps 7 through 10 with any of the roms in the developer thread. If this other rom works, you can use it, or download others and try them. If the SediRom does not work also, then we will need to sit down and figure this out.
I really appreciate the fact that you're here to help.
I downloaded and installed SediRom 2.1.2 and my IMEI still shows as "Unknown." However this time I should add there is a serial number, which I don't believe was present in CM11 or in the stock ROM, although I'm not sure if that's at all significant. I made an external backup of the efs file from the stock ROM, is there some way I could just reinstall CM11 and replace/overwrite the efs to give it an IMEI number? I'd really like to use CM11 if possible, I was enamored by how good it looked and how functional it was, especially since the last time I tried CM a long time ago I didn't have such a good opinion of it. Plus the bootloader is friggin sweet !
I recently got the phone unlocked off eBay, so I don't know its past history but I was able to access the network when I had the SIM card in prior to initially installing CM11 but not afterwards. I'm trying to use a T-Mobile SIM but like I said I was able to successfully access the network prior to installing CM11. But the IMEI doesn't show at all regardless if the SIM is in at all.
Is there some kind of different hardware/firmware like in a newer slightly different version of the phone that came out resulting in compatibility issues? I'm not the most experienced but I've dipped by toes in this before, so I would be willing to go the extra mile if it meant I could get CM11 to work, because honestly it looked like everything I could ever want from this phone with a good looking theme too...
Do you have a full backup of the efs partition?
If so it should be enough to restore it.

Yes I believe so. I used the procedure from this thread to back it up. I tried copying the efs directly over using the built in file manager with root access, but when I try to copy the entire efs folder over I get a non-descriptive error "this operation has failed." I tried copying the nv_data.bin folder by itself to overwrite the one currently there (which copied successfully), then rebooted the phone but the IMEI still shows as "unknown." Do I need to copy the efs while the phone is in recovery mode or via PC or something because of file in-use errors or something else I don't know about?

Well restoring efs have to be done in recovery only! Do not try to do this while android is running!!
To be honest the absolute best way is having a dd partition dump of the whole partition. When you have followed the mentioned guide do you have used also dd like this?
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/storage/external_SD/efs.img
I don't know if copying the efs folder alone would work.. better is restoring the whole partition if possible. Do you have such kind of backup?

So I'm really late here but the phone got thrown to the backburner and I forgot about it. Lol but anyways, I created the EFS backups using dd like it said, but I'm not sure how to restore them? Do I unpack them and then use ADB to move them there? I'm kind of confused. Also, for some reason going through the TWRP to the stock ROM doesn't let me root it, it crashes every time I get to that screen, don't know if that's important to the operation. Hope I can finally get this stupid thing working right with the custom ROM...

Okay so I used TWRP to do a factory restore, flashed SuperUser, then flashed CM11, went into TWRP and did the terminal commands you listed in the guide for backing up the EFS... to no avail. Would it be better to copy the EFS while I'm still on the rooted stock ROM using a terminal app? I don't understand what the problem is...
