Boot success. No radio though. Stuck at activation screen. Probably due to lack of radio.

im assuming it's due to the de-bloating i did :D... unless it's kernel related than thats bad for me lol

ill upload a zip to install all the extra stuff i took out and see if you get your radios back :D

well if it helps im using youir boot.img on the T2 lol, just wanted to see if it would boot so the one i did with AK didn't work.. yours does tho, but i also grabbed your modules and still seem to have the NO Radio issue.. so im hoping it's due to the de-bloating i did and not kernel related

i believe that is the system he is using.. just de-odex'd, im thinking his will boot with an altered updater-script, if not than it may be due to an app in system, sometimes the ones that have trouble de-odexing cause issues for a rom, had this trouble with the connect was a PITA lol but im sure he'll get it going :D this guy is a genius!! lol


EDIT: or not... LOL

using one nuttmeg provided me b4 I believe, I just dont have the originals anymore after my hdd crashed....
 
just a suggestion, deodex the stock rom but leave all bloatware and system files, than if it boots and work, than start deleting system apps 1 by 1 until we see what breaks it. This kinda reminded me of certain apps was attached to others like the music widget was attached to the bluetooth on the esteem.

I've not even thought about debloating yet lol. I usually do that with the device hooked up via adb lol

Yeah i was looking at the different sizes for the 3 roms now from you, shab, L and was going to try and mismatch l and your updater script and see if it boots that way.

Tried t2 and it booted but I noticed no signal. Saw the "get started" screen where u pick ur language. The next screen was the "give us a second" screen which went to the "activating ur phone" screen and never gets past that. All the while with null signal.
