Boost Mobile HTC One SV and ZTE Warp Sequent Getting Jelly Bean Next Week | Prepaid Phone News

I'll see it when I see it lol, finallyyy. Now we all just need to gather and pray that it causes no new bugs and that they actually release the kernel source without us threaten a lawsuit.
It's the only damn thing I'm waiting to start working on Megatron for it.




Update Instructions

When you get the ota update allow it to download the update but do not allow it to flash the update. Use a root explorer and COPY the update zip from /cache and place it on your sdcard
Reboot recovery
WIPE DATA "if you do not wipe data your phone will be stuck at the boot animation"
Install the zip from your sdcard "takes about 3-6 Mins"
go to the main menu of cwm and hit reboot
CWM will tell you that a new recovery will be flash would you like to disable it select yes
your phone will reboot and be up and running with 2-3 minutes.


download this Root.zip reboot to cwm and flash it. After that, go back to the main menu of cwm and hit reboot. BEFORE you reboot cwm will ask you if you want to fix root (/system/bin/su) go down to yes, your phone will now reboot and you should be rooted on 4.1

Thank you This worked perfectly and flawlessly on my warp sequent just downloaded and followed the instructions using cwm touch.

The easiest way to pull /system dir is to make a backup in cwm. Once the backup is made it will be on your sdcard in /clockworkmod/backups/yourbackup. The directory will be named with a time instead of a name. Just make certain you are in the one you just made lol. Grab the following files

system.ext4.tar.a
boot.img

zip them up and upload please

edit: please ONLY upload the 2 files I mentioned as we don't need anyone restoring it and busting their phone

 

[Mgiddeon]

ok on it

 

[Mgiddeon]

Also everything appears to be in order- just a couple of bumps. getting everything compiled now.

 

[junkie2100]

keep in mind we need the partitions first, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2, mmcblk0p8, mmcblk0p9, mmcblk0p11, and mmcblk0p12

and superr, be VERY careful, we know 12 is the kernel ramdisk... but everything else is completely unknown to us, things like the bootloader and misc partition, so just use caution and you should be fine

and mgiddeon make sure you label them appropriately or you could damage superrs phone

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/partition1
will work, but honestly i say we just keep the names as it
make it

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p9
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p11
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/boot.img

just to be safe ya kno

 

[junkie2100]

try those partitions minus the kernel partition out with ics first superr, see if it breaks anything, if not then we can just have the update install the new files and not have to worry about it if someone wants to switch back, then check for changed serials and what not, then you should be able to easily make a flashable if you dont run into any bumps

 

[Frank The Tank]

Hey junkie, do you think this update will help cm10, jelly beer and so on... also i sent you a pm.

 

[junkie2100]

k, ill have to check my pms in a bit but yea im thinking there is a chance it will help, even if its a slim chance. ill look into it though see what i can make of the updated files once i finally get my hands on them all

 

[Mgiddeon]

Uploading to my google drive now.

I have my phone on B09 Stock ROM right now, with stock recovery, but it's rooted.
I got the OTA update alert and downloaded it and tried to install it. I got an error:
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current systen...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMMC: .....
... (Status 7)
Installation aborted.
E: Failed to open /cache/fota/error_code (No such file or directory)
E: Failed to open /cache/fota/source_code (No such file or directory)

Can somebody Help a guy out?

 

[junkie2100]

i will say this though, sadly i dont think most of the issues we are seeing are version related, other than the issue with the sdcard which is specific to 4.2... so yea that wont help much

the video playback has a little hope, mms isnt gonna be fixed by this, bluetooth and camera there is a possibility but is unlikely. so dont get your hopes up too high people but we will do what we can with what we have

we are working now to get it all into one easily cwm flashable zip, just have a little patients and we will release an update zip that everyone can use without any special steps

 

[randjav15]

but my issue is that i think i need to unroot my device and i don't know how.

 

[randjav15]

i am on stock recovery.

 

[junkie2100]

basically its either we go through and help solve everyones problems individually which will take forever and people will be lined up for hours waiting to get help, or we make this one universal fix that solves everyones issues...

i say the universal fix is a better idea

 

[junkie2100]

your main issue right now is youre impatient lol. if you cant get it to work that way just wait for us to get the new flashable out, and no your issue is not that you are rooted your issue is probably that you are deodexed but it wont matter shortly so just relax and keep an eye out for superrs update

 

[randjav15]

but then how do i reodex?

 

[D34DBre4kr]

dude stop just wait listen to junkie! calm down they're working on a fix

 

[boricuakiller]

flash you bo9 back should be fully stock

 

[SuperR]

but then how do i reodex?

It will all be worked out. No need to worry. If it makes you feel any better I have the same problem as you. Still running b09 because it won't let me update. So believe me when I say it will get worked out Patience my friend

 

[junkie2100]

wont matter once we get this updated zip out... as soon as mgiddeon get the files uploaded, superr downloads them, tests them, and makes them into an update package, it will flash from any rom using cwm. no more errors, itll just work, if you dont want to wait well then im sorry youre going to have to just figure it out on your own, the steps to get things going the current way are scattered throughout todays posts, they can be found, but things will be much easier if you just wait for the new zip
