The wiki instructions I was following to flash CM on Huawei SnapTo were misleading, in the sense they only indicated how to do it with a CWM/TWRP recovery image, but the CM recovery image was well suited for the task, :-) So no need to build a CWM/TWRP image after all. BTW, great work on Arch for all android components, the flows work pretty much out of the box, :-) Thanks, -- Javier
