Root [Boost Mobile] (DEV) JellyBean sources

[QuietStorm1785]

Jellybean sources are out now! For those devs who wanna try getting it to warp, or for people who are curious and wanna learn, I SHALL POST INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO DOWNLOAD!

First, make sure you are using linux, preferably ubuntu or a variant of ubuntu, like linux mint.
Then go to your home directory, create a folder called sources, then inside there create a folder called jellybean. and inside that jellybean folder create a folder called system.

While inside the system folder, open a terminal by right clicking and clicking open terminal.

Then type this:

$ sudo add-apt-repository "deb [URL]http://archive.canonical.com/[/URL] lucid partner"
[COLOR=Red]enter sudo password here.. then[/COLOR]:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-plugin
[COLOR=Red]if you get an error, type[/COLOR]
$ sudo apt-get -f install
[COLOR=Red]say yes or ok to any prompts then install packages.
While still in terminal, type:[/COLOR]
$ su
[COLOR=Red]enter your password[/COLOR]
$ sudo curl [URL]https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo[/URL] > /bin/repo 
$ sudo chmod a+x /bin/repo
$ exit
$ cd cm7/system
$ repo init -u [URL]https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest[/URL] -b android-4.1.1_r1
[COLOR=Red]Enter your name and email, then press Y, then type this:[/COLOR]
$ repo sync -j8
[COLOR=Red]THIS WILL TAKE A WHILE TO FINISH! Go get something to eat or watch some tv while this is taking place![/COLOR]
After following these instructions, You should have the source! NOW GO AND DEVELOP SOMETHING NICE!

I put it all in a codeblock so that it doesnt take up too much space on the page.

actually you would want to use

curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo

No reason or need for it to be in root or have to use sudo
