Jayce,
FYI, I downloaded CF-Root 6.4, and looks like the CWM recovery has been replaced with the stock android recovery. not sure why.
Hi ligu, what had you done? Installed CF-Root 6.4 and no CWM?
According the XDA thread, the author somehow decided to switch back to stock android recovery in his Auto version (the non-auto still have CWM recovery). But I am getting a bit confused, since I have 6.4, which should have CMW included. Oh well….
I installed the CWM recovery separately afterward.
