Root Last Hurrah [ROM/Kernel/CWM] CM7.2-RC2-2012-08-11-requisite0-BETA -- CWM Cache Issue Addressed

Since Im finished all my work on the Admire/Vitality, I am cleaning up my dev machine. I came across Some old work of mine, and of Requisite0's. So I figured What The Hell -- may as well put it out there as a last hurrah.

This is Requisite0's last compile of CM7.2 as of 08/11/12.
This zip comes with a new compiled OC Kernel, CWM 5.0.2.8 with ext4 support AND the cache issue resolved, as well as the CM build.

Please note: I AM NOT SUPPORTING THIS ROM. I WILL NOT BE ANSWERING QUESTIONS / ISSUES / BUGS -- FIGURE THEM OUT AMONG YOURSELVES. Im just putting this out there for the community before I move on to other things.

Bugs:
The only thing that isnt working is the Camera. It FC's upon opening. I have tried myself (but not too hard) for a little bit over the past day but havent been successful. Im not going to spend any more time on it, thats a thing for y'all to fix proper.
A temp-fix I found is to use Camera Illusion and Video Illusion from the Play Store.
Everything else "Should" be working (although I dont have service on my phone, nor do I have a MetroPCS admire any longer to test).

This is compiled for MetroPCS. I have tried this on Cricket. Talk and Text work, but no success at getting data working (didnt try too hard though), and since I do not have my Vitality in service any longer I am not going to try to get it to work. Another thing to tie you all over to fix up.

Disclaimer: Same Bullsh*t as usual. Im not responsible for you bricking your shize -- blah blah blah..


Installation:
Install as normal
/data/cache wipe recommended
Flash through CWM.
Installer will install CM7, Kernel, then patch/upgrade your CWM to the new fixed image.

Cheers, and, Its Been Fun.

try using QPST and try the data recovery thing from the generic update solution thread, see if that brings back data?

Well i know why my number was unknown.My phone can't handle being overclocked i guess? So i made a backup with a motherboard that can but it isn't activated with metro

my admire can overclock i've been using cm7.2 beta for a long time with the 900mhz kernel... and i installed monster 5.3 full build, all of these successful
Click to expand...

I can also install cm7.2 with no problems. But i can't install OA 900mhz version or this
 
hmm i can install all overclock roms but i get a reboots throughout the day so i have to underclock. ill try to install this when in about a weeks time as ive messed too much with my admire recently and it needs a break, leaving it stock 2.3.6 for now
 
For those having boot issues you may also want to try flashing the RC1 Kernel -- see if that boots.

thanks i got it booting now,.... theres a huge difference between the other version and this one....
but the kernel is not exposed to the cm settings ... but theres a huge difference
 
flashing right now...

EDIT: first try, factory reset, format system, flashed, waited 10 mins didnt boot up. stuck on the ANDROID text almost as if it were booting up into CWM. gonna try the older kernel now.... as i was about the flash the older kernel, the android text disappeared and the screen went completely dark, pressing the power button would turn on the button lights but thats all. didnt wait to see if anything else happened

EDIT 2: flashed the older kernel over the cm7 zip here. waiting to see what happens.... 10 minute mark passed, same effect as the first edit, blank screen, press power button, buttons light up, nothing, gonna wait a few more mins to see if anything happens.......... in the meanwhile can someone post up exact instructions on how they flashed and got it to boot up? maybe even some screenshots??
