Root [Virgin Mobile] Who wants a flashable ZIP to install stock ROM?

[moonknightus]

I've been thinking about building a flashable ZIP to install the stock odexed TouchWiz ROM.

It would be somewhat customizable like my Conquest ROM.

Options would be:
Rooted/not rooted
Flash stock kernel/don't flash a kernel
Flash stock recovery/don't flash recovery


What do you all think?

 

[buzzcon]

I voted yes, mainly because once developed, the ROM would not need much in regards to maintenance/upgrading and would be useful for people wishing to sell their Victory.

 

[Madbat]

I vote yes as well. Might be a better choice, in some instances , than restoring someone else's stock backup. Also the unrooted and stock recovery options are brilliant. Stock recovery will probably come in handy if there's another official firmware update. You've done so much for this phone, think I'm gonna have make a donation.

 

[dibblebill]

I vote yes. Same as Madbat once I get paid.

 

[kwknott]

Yes

 

[krikit]

yes. Like Buzzcon said, would be great for people selling or handing to family members/friends.

 

[badbrainseddie]

Yes indeed!

 

[Madbat]

He already removed it.

You think the need for his Bluetooth fix is that Bluetooth on our phone is kernal supported? (Same as stock video player)

 

[moonknightus]

lol oops wrong link. i fixed it. i have no idea why bluetooth sometimes stops. it doesn't do it all the time, for instance: on my phone I have never had to flash the bluetooth fix. It has something to do with the script that loads (downloads?) the bluetooth firmware.

 

[Madbat]

Lmao, I figured it was the wrong link, but I had a random thought about bluetooth right before I checked this thread anyways. So even though it was the wrong one, it was kinda convenient. You segued for me.

Conversely, every so often my phone simply reboots and I have to run the fix. Which makes me wonder why it stops working but I've had no luck in pinpointing it.

Mine used to do that, I unlinked any link2sd links, (wow over use of the word "link") and wiped everything and started over. Even completely uninstalled all user apps and reinstalled from play store instead of restoring backups. Went completely stock and then set everything back up the way I wanted with fresh data, hasn't randomly rebooted since.

 

[moonknightus]

Not to say that my phone has never lost Bluetooth. Back before I started Conquest, I lost it once. I tried to fix it by restoring G60's backup but that didn't work so I tried comps' backup and that fixed it right up. I have no idea why. All I know for sure is that comps' backup has the data partition whereas G60's does not.

Not running any link2sd links I've justaccepted that I'll have to reinstall the fix once every two weeks. Not a big deal

 

[Madbat]

Not saying links did it, just listing my steps. Was thinking bad data somewhere.

Hey Moonknightus,

Thanks a ton for putting this together, you rock n roll. I hope you don't mind that I deodexed the apks/framework and replaced them in my personal flashing of your work and it flashed with no problems. I uploaded them to media fire if you or anyone else needs them.
Here are the deodexed apks/framework in rar archive (non-flashable/need to extract)

is there a flashable zip that removes root and one that doesn't?

Its all in one. When you flash it asks if you want to root or not, if you want stock kernel, stock recovery. Post #9.

I didn't create the base ROM, Samsung did. I just packaged it up in a nice flashable zip with Aroma and a few options created by some other people. As far as I'm concerned, you can do with it as you wish. Feel free to use it as a base for your own custom ROM, tear apart the updater scripts to get a feel for how Aroma works, etc.

Was really looking forward to this but the link is "Dead".. Really trying to get back to Stock and start "Fresh". This would have been very Nice..

I haven't tried this with any other kernels or Roms but wanted to thank you Moons for The Flashable Zip Recovery & everyones Work & Development on This Phone

Now back to about Kernel I used Moons Flashable Stock & Kernel &
Instead of SetCpu or Any other Over Clocking App Coming From HTC Evo V4G Aka 3D Used Kernal Tuner & Found it Works With Stock Kernal on This Phone For Linking CPU Speeds @ Same Time

I know this is the wrong thread,sorry,but serious issues here.. I'm on conquest now, I'm getting a lot of Google FC's, so I went to restore to stock and somehow both my backups are gone. So I went to DL a stock ROM, tried two of them, this one and one in vmroms, but it won't let me click on it. Also I keep getting an error #67 for this forum and vmroms. I've been signed in for a while. Ill try to reinstall Tapatalk and try online. I switched back to my other phone for now
