Root [Virgin Mobile] [Update]MC1 to MG5 update zip

[JerryScript]

Alright, I couldn't help myself, I just poked around and noticed that after flashing the update2.zip in this thread (flashing update2.zip over Victorious 0.2.2-R1 with the new VaeVictus MG5-OC kernel installed) the install-recovery.sh script was removed. So I just went back and copied it so that my storage swap works again.

More details on the process in my post here: http://androidforums.com/virgin-mob...-people-who-updated-firmware.html#post6051483

THANK YOU!!!

There is a good possibility this has been the issue for many. Now I can make a new release and double check that install-recovery.sh is present!

Sorry jerry, I knew my zip would delete that script but I forgot Victorious needs it

 

[JerryScript]

No worries, at least it's a quick fix.

 

[rbheromax]

I should've let u make it lol

I can confirm that this breaks the ability to receive mms for some reason. I can still send but can't receive.

 

[rbheromax]

It completes the move to mg5 at the system level, if you can come up with an intro for me that'd be great, I suck at writing threads

 

[comps]

fix now? is the bl2 what fix mms?

 

[insanelycool]

So far I have yet to see anyone report that the baseband (bl2.zip) even works. It didn't work for me or for madbat. So far we are the only 2 on the forums who have tried and reported back.

It appears to flash just fine, but the baseband does not appear to be updated in the about phone section, and mms receiving is still broken.

I wonder if twrp can properly flash the baseband? Some recoveries don't flash all partitions correctly.

I guess someone could try flashing it with CWM

 

[insanelycool]

I'm looking around the forum and found the cwm.zip but I need a tar for Odin don't I? How do I go about flashing cwm? Can I flash the zip through twrp?

 

[insanelycool]

Of course you flash the zip with twrp. Leave it to me to answer my own question... Lol. Still no luck on the baseband though. Cwm didn't do it either.

so i think flashing the mg5 file messed my phone up, can i just boot into recovery and re flash the mc1 kernel without messing anything up, or does it not work like that, because id rather just use mc1 until something new and better comes out, because i dident have any issue when i had it before i flashed mg5



also when i flash it says checking for md5 file... then it says skipping md5 check then it says no md5 file found...is that a problem, i thought u needed an md5 sum, i could be wrong idk but i need some help, rverything was running good until today for some reason, and i dident do anything to mess it up, except flash mg5 file yesterday or whenever...im getting annoyed loll

What issue are you having.

If you just flashed the kernel then yes you can just flash another kernel. If you flashed the baseband zip then no. The baseband is part of radio and there's no way to go back

when i would go to open an app it would say it wasent installed, so i went into links2sd and tried to re link everything but it dident work only the lib files would relink, then my ext2internal switched backed and now my sd card says the same memory as my internal, im pissed because before i went to sleep everything was great, i just reflashed the 0.2.2r1 and mayb that will straighten things back out, but idk im not familiar with this kinda stuff when things go wrong, and i really dont understand links2sd, it says theres nothing on my sd card when i use the filter, its weird, i kno im doin something wrong but idk what it could be...

Okay, the MG5 update you flashed deleted a script.

You just need to take the file "install-recovery.sh" and place it in your "system/etc" folder.
You may also need to replace the "11extsd2internalsd" file in "system/etc/init.d" folder.

Then reboot.

I included the files in .rar format, so please don't be a "RAR-****"! DO NOT FLASH THIS FILE!!!

Just open it up I put the files in the folders tree they will go in. Even included these instructions in the file here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/48980837/MG5-FIX.rar !

i fixed it, all i did was flash o.2.2r1 again and it went back to normal, then i flashed the o.2.1.zip kernel, and everything was good, i havent tries and restarted it yet, but i may try and see if everything sticks this time

Flag the new zip in the op (I updated it)
It takes away the assert function as twrp for this phone doesn't register right

LIAR!
