Root LG Viper and the Connect

[sammyz]

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.

Really? I haven't seen many LG vzw that are the same phone as metro except this connect/lucid and the esteem/revolution

exactly, and the Optimus, which was more of a cheaper dumbed down version of the VS.

If you look thru the guts of the connect and Esteem you will find vzw shyt still in place.

may be a dumb question.. but does vzw refer to verizon wireless?

You mean vs660?????
The vortex? It's different from the vm/ls 670

Nah I mean the Optimus V/S which were more vamped up over the Optimus C/M.

There's nothing for vzw with those phones. Just Sprint, virgin mobile, cricket and metropcs.

 

[sammyz]

The vortex was vzw's version, but it's different, just like the m is different

You have a file like that of ms840?

 

[un1ocked]

this one maybe: pdf

also, the open source file for AS840: cayman_open_source

EDIT:
only available @ guam
actually i need as840 firmware, then flashing over my ms840

 

[sammyz]

Good luck getting a serial number to get that firmware, and I think that's a GSM phone, if it is, I wouldn't flash that.

 

[LDrifta]

yes em

i just now realized that the 'ms' in front of 'ms840' & 'ms910' are related to metro LOL boy do i feel slow [unless im wrong?]

Correct.
MS= metro
VS= Verizon
LW= Cricket
VM= virgin mobile (vm)
LS= Sprint
(There are others for CDMA phones as well)

T-Mobile does not have a code, I'm not sure if any of the GSM phones have a code.

 

[un1ocked]

don't forget about sprint LG marquee (LS855) vs. boost mob. LG ignite (AS855)

 

[PlayfulGod]

Correct.

LG's GSM devices are normally pxxx ie p930 for the lG Nitro HD, Samsungs usually have a codename d2att, d2tmo, d2vzw, etc for the SGS3.

@PG, I think the reason it won't boot is because I'm terrible at repacking the boot.img......I'm gonna upload a zImage and let you pack it to flash
zImage

Edit: Also Boost=LG

Actually
LS855=Sprint Marquee
LG855=Boost Marquee
AS855=Optimus Black

 

[LDrifta]

so is there an irc channel or something for this topic so i can keep up with current events?

 

[rav2012]

Sammyz which defconfig did u use to compile that zimage?

 

[sammyz]

The one LG said to in their read me. The Cayman_Sprint_defconfig or some thing like that...

Marquee is omap so no help with the connect

What all did you do to this??? I have it compiling with the sprint_us_defconfig.

Someone else was asking some thing else about marquee and yea, and fixed some errors

 

[PlayfulGod]

Well I mean other than the 2 or 3 needed to get it to compile.

 

[sammyz]

I had no other errors, the most was 2 errors in ZVG. ZVI gave me one error.

 

[rav2012]

I was having trouble compiling this kernel using -j5 which worked fine with other kernels... I just did make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE without using -j, it took a while but it worked...
