Wouldnt recommend it as its a different kernel version. and it also has a mem leak if memory serves me

 

Word round the root forum is that a new kernel for the JB update is in the works but no idea when it will be ready

 

Who know ur phone can be brick different partition i think

 

one can only hope but unfortunately my guess is the original source code needs to be fixed as zte has a tendency to , bork things, before releasing it.

 

Moved this over to the Root forum, hope yinz don't mind.

 

The old dtm kernel should technically work though the ramdisk may give you a small problem or two. The msin issue being its based off of the original broken zte kernel so it will slow your phone down...

 

Actually I tried that and i did not boot... used the b11 ramdisk and serenity kernel... just had a black screen after the boot splash... Is it possible the new kernel source is for JB.. how does that work exactly?

 

The new source is for jb. There is likely stuff missing in the ICS source that jb needs.

So the old kernel will not work with the update

 

So then both kernel sources could be broken then... speaking of which the whole issue with the pmem sounds too familiar...You and Dm47021 had a very similar issue building the jb kernel for the N860 where it wasn't calling one of the banks...

 

Yes, we couldn't use the same fix hroark found for the 2.6 kernel. The sequent uses a different type of memory, so that issue is non existent.
Honestly if someone took the my commits from the 3.0.8 kernel on my github and dropped them into the 3.4 , in theory it should work for jb. As long as it is a working source
