Just a custom built kernel with write protection removed. Nothing more, nothing less....for now :)

Instructions:
1.) Unlock bootloader
2.) Flash TWRP (http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-510/orig-development/twrp-a11chl-a11ul-32-bit-t2950921)
3.) Download: (http://goo.gl/iTYAUu)
4.) "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5.) Profit!

That's it. Everything else works. Did you ever finish the OC? I cant seem to boot a custom dtb or any even decompile the stock one

Cant get OC to work because they used speed binning, i havent found a way to trick the efuse into using a different pll table :(

as for the custom dtb i will post a tutorial on how to make one, its rather easy

im not sure exactly what it has to do with, im going to remake my kernel and see if i can figure it out. If i do i will post an update here or send a private message witht eh fix so both devices have a proper kernel with everything working. i will then upload my source to github. if you know how to branch then i will give you access to the device tree and you can add a new branch. or send me your source and i will merge them into a unified tree and upload
