Root defunct

[FattyAcidTrip]

I await the new tutorial with eager anticipation.

EDIT: And on a related note, the Steam sale starts today and I'm unable to buy some cheap games for my friend whose birthday is also today because I used my debit card to purchase these phones on Black Friday at Target.

Lol go figure.

[rbheromax]

removed assert lines
removed stock recovery installation
removed bootloaders from zip
changed kernel to one that i built this morning

Wats new with the kernel?

 

[dragonhart6505]

Could you upload just the boot.img? I can already confirm removing those lines and the recovery does work. Also I removed the other stuff from the root and their lines and it works too.

 

[dragonhart6505]

I just dont wanna undo whatever took off my throttle if anything actually did

 

[rbheromax]

nothing new. jus a fresh build

Hey rbheromax and dragongart6505 I followed the new video tutorial. It is very helpful. My problem is that whenever I install the new kernel I get a green android bootloop. The only way to get past it is to restore my backup.

I did a couple of things differently than in your video. I rooted the phone with cydia impactor. I installed SuperSU. I did not install the cwm.zip. Maybe all of those things screw up the kernel install?

Once I loaded the cwm image through ADB I made a backup, then I installed the ockernel.zip. Next, I cleared both caches and then rebooted the phone. Once it reboots I am stuck at the green android. Any thoughts?

installing cwm.zip isnt necessary. supersu should be fine, as is rooting with cydia. these were my first experiences rooting the phone as well.

try downloading the kernel from the op...maybe i made a booboo with all the different versions i have on my sdcard that i pulled to make the tut. but im preeeeeetttyyy sure it was the right one

 

[dragonhart6505]

just flashed the same zip myself. yea, its the right one

 

[androidfanwinner]

I've used the kernel in op before this and I get the same result.

 

[androidfanwinner]

I guess I can try restoring it to stock and then going through the steps exactly in your video. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

[dragonhart6505]

do flash cwm.zip as well...see what that does, if anything you can just restore again to get stock back

 

[androidfanwinner]

Well flashing the cwm.zip and then the ockernel didn't work either. I'm now restoring my phone again . I guess I'll try starting from scratch and see what happens.

 

[androidfanwinner]

One last thing...when I clear the cache the following spits out:
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
Warning: No file_contexts
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

When I restore my backup:
Restoring cache...
Can't mount /cache!

Maybe this is all normal, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case.

 

[dragonhart6505]

I got that once too. Rebooting recovery fixed it

 

[junkie2100]

cache can be a pain. and though this case doesnt sound like it alot of cache errors can be fixed by formatting it

 

[dragonhart6505]

Can you format if it won't mount?

 

[junkie2100]

possibly, depends on why it wont mount

I'm going to be out of commission for a few days while I get Linux Mint 16 setup. Right now I'm backing up my hard drive - all 420GB of it, and it is going SLLLOOOOOOO[...]OOOOOWWWWWW

After it's done, I'll be writing up a tut for getting git setup from scratch with cyanogenmod source + kernel source. (tailored to the ZTE devices, of course )

 

[junkie2100]

that works, there is also the buildbox os made by my buddy superr. its on the warp sequent forum and is set up specifically for building

Sounds interesting? Link? I'm still running off of the Live USB session while copying files, so the computer keeps locking up :S

I'm working with LM16, because this is still my daily machine, and I don't really want to install dual partitions right now.

 

[junkie2100]

youll have to look it up, limited to tapatalk, makes things like that ridiculous
