Root [Boost Mobile] Official CyanogenMod 11 Nightlies!

Well Great News I gained root :D by wiping everything and reflashing CM11 20131215 Build. After flash I booted with no service again and no root but I rebooted again with service and root access did not have to go back to Stock thank God... Now what do I do :confused:

Set the ROM up and have fun with it. I would most definitely make a recovery backup NOW.
 
All right folks, the CM11 nightly for 1/4/2014 that just released a few minutes ago is a Snapshot version, which means the CM team has made a lot of progress in the short time (less than a month) since they first started building KitKat releases. This is good news in terms of the eventual release of a stable build, looks like it will probably come sooner rather than later. Just finished downloading, we will see if it has any extra features or is smoother/faster/whatever based on their blog post:

CyanogenMod 11.0 M2 Release | CyanogenMod
 
Okay of course another release comes out right when I get my root back :/ so how should I go about installing this M2 build? With out losing root again:confused:
 
Well again, I need help....dunno why I am having such a hard time with this phone.

I installed the nightly cm11 cm-11-20140104-NIGHTLY-d2spr.zip and gapps 4.4, and an ics modem, then rebooted, and all I get is a black screen.

Steps I have done are as follows:

Wipe dat/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik
Install rom (above zip file)
install pa gapps 4.4
install ICS modem SPH-L710_LI3_Modem

I am on Philz recovery latest (1.08 I think it is)

So did I miss something? or is there a known problem with the latest nightly.

I also tried to install cm10.2.0 and it aborted on me, So I decided to just skip it and go to cm11.

If you rooted straight from the MD7 bootloader, then you bypassed an update that you actually need, the one to upgrade to the MG2 bootloader. The next update after that is the one you don't want, that is the one with the Knox bootloader. MD7 was ICS, while MG2 provided JellyBean support. Also, don't confuse bootloader with modem, two separate things here; you can use any modem you want from VM/Boost or Sprint, it's a matter of which one gives you the best data/signal. You can use Odin to push the .tar file for MG2, it will return you to stock and update your bootloader. Then, just repeat the rooting process of pushing Philz back onto your phone and then flashing SuperSU.

Just a head up. MK3 is not only considered a modem, it is also a build. :D

Definitely 2 separate things. Had a guy over at XDA who was having problems getting a grip on the difference between bootloader and modem. One of the best ways to clarify what is what is to read the description. It will tell you what you are looking at, modem or build.

Nice nice...I just re-read your post heh somtimes with me it takes a few times of reading it before it finally kicks in.

So what I am reading is even with CM10.1 rom, any modem will work....this wasn't the case on the S2, so this will be welcome news for me not having to worry about ICS modem for this and JB modem for that.

Also I am currently useing jdsingle's MK5 no knox rom, so I should be able to essentially flash from this to cm or other said roms now since MK5 is JB.

In short MD7 = ICS, and MG2/MK5 = JB, if so that would explain why I could not flash CM :). MG2 being the step up from MD7, and MK5 being the last in line of the 3....so it goes as follows for updates:

MD7 = what the phone came stock with
MG2 = JB
MK5 = JB also, but has knox loaded with it which = bad

I'm curious though, I thought 4.1.2 (MD7) was JB, maybe I missed somthing along the way.

Also the MK5 is the last step to 4.3 android and comes packaged with knox, and knox = bad, unless it doesn't bother ya that is........but since I am on jdsingle's MK5 no knox rom, I'm safe from knox.

Just so you know I am understanding you correctly :).

4.1.2 was JB, but the associated bootloader (MD7) was not compatible to flash anything custom higher than ICS; I don't know the techinical explanation. MG2 upgraded the capacities of the bootloader. And yes, stay the hell away from an official update to MK5/Knox bootloader, @jdsingle76 did an awesome job getting his version out there for everyone to use without the fear of getting Knoxed up!

Agreed the rom is nicely put together with some nice added features.....really close to aosp in touchwiz form :) sorta.

Odd about the JB android but ICS bootloader, not sure exactly what the concept behind that was, seems like if your updating to JB, why not update the bootloader too, but that's just me :).

Does anyone have the cm 11 M2 without the asserted lines for boost ?!?!
Click to expand...

If you can wait for late tonight I can post one, otherwise if anyone else wants to do so before then, please feel free. My buddy @wetbiker7 also just made a video showing how to modify the asserts to make an AOSP ROM work, it is in his sticky for Working Rom's modems, etc.
 
Is anyone else having issues install KK on this phone??

I for the life of me cannot figure out what I am doing wrong or where the hangup is.

I posted in an earlier post what I had done
Well again, I need help....dunno why I am having such a hard time with this phone.

and someone suggested I needed the MG2 bootloader so I used this rom on this thread http://androidforums.com/boost-mobile-galaxy-s3-all-things-root/758586-odin-backup-sph-l710_mg2.html and got MG2 successfully installed and up and operational.

I then proceeded to put back on philz recovery, so I did a PC odin to get that on and rebooted to recovery to make sure it worked.....and it worked fine.

Once I was in recovery I proceeded to do the normal steps as quoted above, wipe cache, factory reset, etc....then install the rom, then gapps and so on.

I thought maybe it was because gapps was giving me issues so I decided to install cm11 without anything else to rule out anything els, and make sure it wasn't the rom itself.....same black screen after the Samsung logo.

I then suspected philz recovery somehow was giving me issues, so I installed CWM touch, and did the steps all over again, and still same black screen after the Samsung logo.

So anyone see anything I am missing or doing wrong? I am really puzzled as to why I can't get this to work. I've flashed what seems a million times and have always had success, until now, so I'm at a loss as to why it's not working, other than the rom is bad.

Any ideas?

Boy howdy, that'd be awesomeness........I'm all for videos.

I thought I had remembered how and I did delete the assert lines in the cm11 file, then saved it but it still isn't working, I still have the dreaded black screen right after the Samsung logo.
Probably missing something along the line somewhere.

Update:
@wetbiker7 thanks for the video, it reassured me that I was doing the correct procedure for removing asserts.

So now that I have confirmed I am doign that, I'm just completely out of ideas why in the world cm11 will not install right, or why am I getting just a black screen :(.
 
OK my friends, here is the CM11 M2 Snapshot for those who would like it, all credit to CyanogenMod Team, I have just modified it for flashing by Boost and VM users. Asserts have been deleted, and I have removed all the stuff I don't use like Apollo, Email/Exchange, live wallpapers, etc....you guys know the drill!

CM11 M2 Snapshot

Will put this in the OP as well to be preserved for all eternity or until myself or the mods edit things ha ha ha!
