Root [Virgin Mobile] Kernel

[jrccomputer]

Do we have any unlock overclockable kernels??

 

[MopedRyder]

For our stock ROMs? No not to my knowledge. I dont think the D2SPR kernels work with our phones either.

So is there a ROM that is stock andtoid?? So only way to get a nodded kernel is to switch to a ROM???

I'm working on a de-bloated stock ROM now. I've built my own flashable packages that have the stock VMU MD7 and MG2 kernels.

This allows me to grab a sprint TW kernel and repack (or confirm correct install partitions) try it and then reflash my VMU kernel to recover.

Also no one as of yet has compiled a VMU kernel from source.

I would love to use your ROM. I just really would love to have an unlocked kernel. The gs3 would be a killer overclocked.

I verify install partitions and sometimes rewrite the install script. I would no suggest blindly flashing any kernel

I never blindly flash anything. I learned my lesson many years ago.

 

[MopedRyder]

I repackaged (read didnt flash his) the AGAT_MA06 Sprint kernel. It booted fine but the camera is borked.

Ill keep looking but I suspect Virgin Mobile change the phone enough to make them mostly incompatible.

 

[MopedRyder]

Also Ive repackaged and flash the Sprint "Frezza" Kernel. It booted fine and camera worked fine. Only thing so far is network is listed as "unknown" and LTE is borked.

This kinda tells me that flashing any Sprint AOSP or CM ROM you probably wont consistently get LTE to work. Its a kernel function as well. No VMU kernels out there.

The best thing to do is pull the kernel from the Samsung open source website and edit the overclocking capabilities in from there. How do we do that, you ask? Well I'll tell you.. that I haven't the slightest clue haha But the kernel for both build MD7 and MG2 are on Samsung's site if someone knowledgeable wants to tackle it.

I would do it. But I don't have the ability or the time at the moment. I have no pc, and with school there is just no time.

Good News (maybe)

I repackaged and fixed up the Sprint "Freeza" kernel (Made by this dude)

After editing the build.prop is looks like LTE support came back. That said I dont have LTE in my area to test it on - lol

Im going to run it a few days and see how it goes. So far everything works great gps / camera / cdma.

Only difference I see from our Stock kernel is native init.d support

cool is that a repack kernel you tweaked or a standalone zip flash.

 

[MopedRyder]

I had to repack it. The partitions were correct but for some reason I had to edit a line in the build.prop to get LTE to turn on.

I had to change:

# Chameleon Default Operator (VMU with Chameloen)
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310000
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Samsung

To:

#Changed above to VMU for Sprint kernel use
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 311490
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Virgin Mobile

I repackaged it because I included the fixed build.pro and kernel models.

Here give them a go (I also plan to add as addon with my ROM)

FREEZA KERNEL

RETURN TO STOCK MG2

 

[lordmage]

ill test asap at work no downloading.

 

[peter counias]

Is this for touchwiz rom ?

 

[lordmage]

see how ryder is working on a stock and themed rom i think it won't matter. the only thing to watch out for ryder says he fixed. it is base on freeze kernel which is a sg3 kernel but tweaked it for the MG2 base vm edition i would think.

 

[peter counias]

Do you think it will work with punks odox rom?

 

[lordmage]

punks odex is basically stock but have a good nandroid ready and the stock kernel zip in the event you need it. or wait till other testers test it.

 

[peter counias]

Ok thanks for your help!!!

 

[peter counias]

Ha dud like you return to stock with the build prop tweaks in it but can't get freeza kernel to boot am I doing something rong ?

 

[MopedRyder]

If you cant get the Freeza kernel to boot you may have to be on my ROM.
