Credits go to brienj for the fc17 root and jhorton014 for the stock odin files.

Alrighty here it is!

Download odin from here if you don't have it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71816133/Mul...h_smd0425..exe

Now download these files

Boot your phone into download mode (vol down, camera, and power button) than press up. Connect it to your computer and open odin. Choose Chief_v1.0.ops as your ops file and the tar.md5 file as your pda file. It should take about 5 minutes to flash everything so hold on.

Let your phone boot up and download the update than let it flash. Than go back to download mode. Now download this

and use chief.ops as your ops again, uncheck auto reboot and reboot time. Now this time choose cwmr.tar.md5 as you pda file. Than once it finishes unplug your phone and reboot into recovery. Now go to mounts and connect your phone back into your computer and mount your usb through recovery. Now download these and put them on your sd card.

Now unmount usb from computer and mount your system. Now flash these files and reboot. Next to make the recovery permanent go to this quick tut. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1514618 Enjoy! :) (A flashable update will be coming in soon)
