Root New update

[devilschild26]

So uh, I realized I'm an idiot and forgot to wipe. But hey, I also fixed ADB on boot. THIS BOOTS!!! 3G data, calls, and text work. Wifi and camera do not. Settings is finicky, the security tab crashes. But hey, some progress! And you can bet I'll have WiFi soon. Please help me test!

Is this ported from warp 4g

 

[spock1104]

Got downloaded and flashed gets into boot loop any ideas I did factory reset formated data and so on

You did flash sulu3.zip after the partition updater?

Is this ported from warp 4g

Yes


I'm having a terrible time of trying to get the internal sdcard to mount. I rewrote init.qcom.rc to mount /data/media and when i remote to the phone with adb i can browse files fine, but using a file manager like ES File Exporer or navigating with Terminal Emulator I can't access /storage/sdcard0

But then there's this...

So can anyone offer up some advice?

Are you guys getting logs when trying to mount sdcard0? It's something you can duplicate again and again.

 

[spock1104]

sdcard0 isn't a direct mount, /data/media gets mounted to /mnt/shell/emulated and that is working fine. init.qcom.rc sets up a symlink between /mnt/shell/emulated and /storage/sdcard0

The part that is confusing me is if I ADB into the phone, I can see the files in /storage/sdcard0 just fine. But using the stock file browser, or ES File Explorer, or terminal emulator, and I see nothing. It's almost like a permissions issue. So what should I be looking at, logcat while trying to access that directory from an app?

Definitely could be a permission issue. Is the kernel you're working with enforcing SELinux? Maybe try a permissive mode...that's of course not a real fix because you're reducing security just to mount storage. I'll ask around.

Not on this ROM

I compiled with SECURITY_SELINUX_DEVELOP enabled, which supposedly makes it permissive. Yet SELinux Mode Switcher claims it was running Enforcing.

I tried ur solo8 I still get not lop on the android logo

My best guess is the partition updater isn't enough and there's something else needed from B07.

I did every thing u said don't understand why u can get it to boot and I can't strange

Hey is it possible mount points changed or were renamed?

That makes since to me worth checking in to

I know (but can't remember which phone I had at the time) when the ICS update to 4.0.4 came out...the mount points changed, that won't address the permission issues but its something I think would be worth looking into/ruling out. You guys should get spock some event logs when trying to access the emmc via a file explorer. I'm pretty sure its a permissions issue as I've read several posts in various forums for various devices with the same issue. Wish I still had the phone so I could do more than research for you guys lol.

Ugh...can you simply not flash it? I mean you loop every time?

You should be able to

I see I know I can send log to SD in twrp I just looked I see if it works hope it dose

Just because I've been discussing it here, PhenomX4 posted a Dirty Unicorns for the Warp4G. I got it working on my AWE with the new kernel, with the same storage issue. This should allow me to reverse engineer the proper modules to build a fully working ROM with the new kernel, unless PhenomX4 beats me to it.

Sounds likevu said u got the du ROM for warp working on the awe

 

[bcrichster]

Actually the warp 4g and boost max are variants and have official KitKat. I've been trying to use the boost max kernel code on the awe, having display issues.

SuperR mentioned that the Warp4G "kernel deconfigs" were in boost max source.. I realize that this is an older post but hope that helps

Hopefully nothing funny was done in the B05 script. Here's a package to take you straight to stock-ish B07. Difference is it's rooted and doesn't have the stock recovery. Always wipe cache and dalvik-cache. If you don't wipe data then this just upgrades you. If there are stock apps you don't like I recommend removing them from /system/app before flashing. Be patient when flashing, it takes several minutes to do its thing.

N800_B07_FULL.zip - 390.98 MB

The download link above has expired and I'd really like to try this stock-ish B07. Can someone please point me to a valid download link or re-post it for download? Many, many thanks in advance.
