Root LG Viper and the Connect

sammyz said:
The errors in building the viper kernel are only because of how they add a few of their include files. It's simple to fix. The files exist, but the syntax LG used to add the include files do not agree with ubuntu.

dunno what you found, but it was just a bad path in drivers/led/leds-pmic8058.c for me. It compiles now ;)

oh and a unneeded line in the Makefile ;)

O.o what the heck? Definitely didn't flash right...hmm

Oh wow.....whoever wrote the updater-script screwed up. It doesn't give a command to flash anything....
 
well it said install sucessful and it took a reaaally long time to boot. so i'm thinking it must've worked somewhere. let me play around with it see if there's any difference.

Do you have a stock backup you can install? If so try that then flash the kernel. The same thing was happening to me when I tried to flash the speed kernel over BP, it wasn't taking until I went to my stock backup then flashed it.

I looked at updater script, it never gave a command to flash boot.img......

Look up one post, I uploaded with a fixed updater-script
 
but is this not for ics. does an ics kernel work on gingerbread???????? i know gingerbread kernel don't work for ics.
 
PlayfulGod said:
oh yes it will, it just needs some tlc for certain things to work.

And no real reason to use the ics (3.0.x) in GB. ;)

And that's why there's people like you to help out other people :)

I wonder why you didn't think about this before (what my OP says..)
 
don't forget the original LG cayman, LG-AS840 :D
flashed LS840 rom over MS840
and the result: failed to go back to MS840

i believe the main goal was just to see if it will boot lol.. the rom probly wont work with it.. but booting is priority at this point... correct me if im wrong ;)
 
Oh and another reason I say the lucid is a closer match is because its vzw which is what most Metro devices are based off of. ;)
