Root [C5155]CWM 6.0.3.7

[Noobified]

This is a unstable port of CWM for the Kyocera Rise.

Q: How is this possible with locked bootloader?
A: The LK bootloader is vulnerable to CVE-2014-0973. We can forge signature using this tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ol-signing-tool-pre-3-2-4-booloaders-t2992435

Reboot system doesn't seem to work (pull battery)

The LK bootloader was vulnerable https://www.codeaurora.org/projects...tion-leads-to-signature-forgery-cve-2014-0973. I basically used this poc (proof of concept) to forge a signature. http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ol-signing-tool-pre-3-2-4-booloaders-t2992435

I have a virgin mobile rise. If you have adb access with root, it's possible to flash recovery via dd.

Unfortunately a factory reset like many did before me rids everything with adb. It no longer becomes active. So we can't flash that.

How do you install this?

Adb. Since the boards are the same will this work for the event and the hydro on stock 4.0.4

No harm in trying. I think I flashed hydro boot.img and only lost keyboard support and screen orientation was off.

 

[mel4787]

Hmm I'll try it

Wow after all these years, it finally happened! I'm astonished.

I confirm that the provided CWM recovery works on VM Kyocera Rise. Probably time to get this stabilized a bit more. Not sure what is the exact reason for the random reboot from CWM.

I timed it to be rebooting close to 2m19. So looks like not really random. Does it have to do with the kind of kernel traps Kyocera had as discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2307306&page=10

Timed it 5 times and the reboot is exactly at 2 minutes and 19 seconds, all the 5 times.
