Root [On Hold] JellyBean CM10.1

The farthest I ever got with cm was cm11 for the nexus 4...I built it just to see if I could build it before trying to port to the reverb
 
hmm i guess thats a sign. but ik you have other builds though. so is there any way for you to recompile the nexus build and move other builds to an external hard disk so you can continue?

I've started on that...but to be honest, none of this phone is on my priority list atm, I have a lot going on right now
 
i just thought of something, we may need to install a custom bootloader to get the cm9 or cm10 to work. i had the galaxy precedent and in order for me to get a gingerbread rom on it i had to install a gingerbread custom bootloader on it. it may be the same case for this device. who knows it might be the bootloader that might be preventing that from booting since its not custom. what do you all think on this. all answers accepted

I'd be surprised, but nothing is impossible...well, almost nothing
 
true haha. but its the only option i can think of. from what i can tell everything for the cm10 rom built properly and everything was confirmed built but wasnt booting. so what if the bootloader is rejecting the rom. even if it does flash like others said its not guaranteed to boot. so what if the bootloader was rejecting it while booting?

RAMdisk is not built correctly
 
OK bootloader is the LAST place to look, some people confuse boot and bootloader, boot is a partition on the device which DOES need to be modified to make CM boot, the boot partition contains a kernel and a ramdisk inside a special type of (iirc, not 100% sure if this is the type of archive file, don't quote me on it) .tar.gz archive, which contains 2 things the kernel and ramdisk,the bootloader unpacks the boot partition which is loaded into the RAM it in turn executes the kernel, which in turn loads the ramdisk which executes service to bring android up, so far it seems that proprietary files are seeming to be the problem with cm10 along with some ramdisk stuff if you'd like to learn more PM me your gmail and I'll pop you into Google hangouts

Yeah, but like I said, anything is possible...although, I did know this...But thanks for being more clear than I was
 
he was very clear. but my question is why the ramdisk isnt responding to the new rom? does the kernel aid in with the booting too?
 
hmm well how compatable is this phone with the galaxy ring? i heard samsung has a new kernel out for it and its kernel was compatable with this phone

nevermind. i was wrong on the kernel being compatable with this phone
 
i have to learn how to build a custom kernel. im in the basic of compiling a recovery. mine booted but i havent got some things working like the graphics and other things with it

hmm youve compiled a custom kernel for this device right

As far as I know, there are 2 custom kernels for this phone:

And this:

The first is exclusively for 4.0.4; while the second is for 4.1.2; but it might work on both... But don't quote me on that one.

Peace,
Sox
