Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] Pre-built kernel?

[xclusive36]

Can someone compile the kernel for this phone for me? I'm having issues with it. I'm looking for a compiled non loki'd kernel for the Optimus f3.

The LG Source is: HERE

I'm looking to get the cyanogenmod rom to boot and I think that's one of the things that is holding me back. If I can get someone to build a kernel for me, I can focus my attention on the other issues on why the rom won't boot correctly.

If you can help me out, I would be very grateful.

I'm looking for a zImage for the optimus f3 if anyone has one compiled already.

Kernel has to be loki'd for it to flash since the bootloader is locked.

I was looking for a pre-built kernel to include with the compile. I've used the source kernel I got off of github. I have tried to build it by it's self and also tried to build the kernel source received from lg's website and both fail.

I'm not able to build a kernel on my own at the moment. I was hoping that someone else may have better luck than I do.

I understand that the bootloader is locked. I add the loki'd files to the rom after compiled.

Just a thought anyway. I'm not sure it will make a difference.

Actually I think I'm good for now, I found a work around.

Well don't leave us hanging! :sly: Did you find a work around?

I did. I have a booting cm rom. I'm not finished cooking it though.

It also has some issues.

One being the phone data connectivity. It doesn't always work. I haven't figured out why.
Two being the trebuchet launcher disappears when the virgin mobile software installs. Defaults to the stock launcher.

It's not a 100% cm rom, at least not currently. I am merging the source built rom I compiled (which didn't boot) with the stock rom loonycgb2 created. Hence the workaround.

I'll release a alpha version soon.
