Root [Boost Mobile] Under Development

[jimsmith80]

I used the rom porting tool that I found here or at xda developer's

Interesting. Do you have a link?

I remember that thread!! But as long as I can get into a recovery, CWM or TWRP, I canflash a nanny or a rom I have on the sd card. Your Method works even without the sd-card though.

I just don't understand why anybody would dev without a dev device...? Every time you build you are going to have to upload a candidate to see if it even works (let alone minor bugs) and risk other people's hardware... and sanity.

If you port, you should mention which phone and build of cm you are porting from so we can even know if it's worth flashing. I don't know if you picked a phone with similar screen resolutions, cpu etc.

Not trying to be a contrarian ass or anything, but you could do this in a more efficient manner in term of build testing and us knowing what you are doing exactly.

I agree. You really need to test these builds yourself first.

Its alot safer too. You don't want a noob downloading a rom that's a WIP that'll wipe your recovery or percent you from booting into it.

Got recovery working, flashing my nanny now!!!

So that's brick number ( Your triple digit number here ) .

So as a word of caution... its not possible to port cm7 to the warp by normal porting methods. It must be built from source.

When porting a rom you need:
1) base (working rom for the phone you are trying to port to)
2) rom to port

The base and rom you are trying to port must both use the same CPU (ARMv7 for the warp) & be the same platform (stock to stock or aosp to aosp & be Gingerbread to gingerbread or ICS to ICS)

CM7 (all CM rom's for that matter) are aosp so to port it you would need a working aosp gingerbread rom for the warp... and we don't have one.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks Tig, That's good info.

Thanks Tig, That's good info.

No prob. Just didn't want anybody else bricking their phone.

The only time my phone was almost hard bricked was when I flashed your rom Dizzle

No prob. Just didn't want anybody else bricking their phone.

It was a soft brick on my phone and I recovered from it.

Lol better safe than sorry right?
