Root [Virgin Mobile] [VMOBI][ROM][KERNEL] Victorious ROM + VaeVictus OC kernel (Updated 7-30-13)

jerryscript said:
if you are having trouble with victorious-0.3.1, and if you have the time, please restore your stock backup and flash the update-no-props zip, then install victorious by it's components. Please take the time to flash them in order, and attempt to boot up each time. Hopefully we can narrow down your issue.

  1. deodexed system apps and framework
  2. media, fonts, & extra apps (fixed) (gallery4.3, wifi tether, and playstation)
  3. superuser, busybox, & libs (video player libs)
  4. scripts & tweaks (fixed) (sdcard swap, links2sd, and build.prop tweaks)
  5. vaevictus-mg5-oc-rv3 kernel
if you have errors flashing any of these, please let me know, it will most likely just be an updater-script issue i can fix quickly.

Flash the first one, then try to boot into the system. If everything works, flash the second one and repeat, continuing flashing and rebooting into the system to check if everything is working. Let us know if any of these components replicates the issues you are having.

thanks for helping to narrow this issue d /own!

My phone is currently running from my own stock backup, updated with MG5 no_props form Jerry Scripts. I wanna manually delete bloatwares and tweak scripts. Which bloatwares can be safely removed from this phone? and Can i just flash Victorious_scripts_tweaks for tweaking scripts? lol I tried to change the scripts according to various websites but that's a lot of looking through the big list of scripts and a lot of tedious typing on a phone. Oh, can LinktoSD work without externaltointernal, my sd card was already set from Victorious 0.1.4?
 
Hello, after flashing the latest version after doing the mg5 update, supersu keeps telling to update the subinary and when i click ok, the app freezes. When i flashed in twrp i did fix root. Any suggestions?
EDIT: also, the boot animation is all weird if that helps... It shows the vm thing and then has half the screen taken by the custom one packed with victorious. Thanks for your help!

Delete /system/media/VMU_bootsamsung.qmg
(I forgot to add the delete line in the updater-script)

@jonathanwhitey above is jerryscript's instructions To fix split boot animation. And after you do no props update to mg5 I think you need to flash superuser.zip again (in original post) and install busybox again (search in play store)

Hello, thanks for your help, but nothing i do will work. I installed superuser.zip from the post... It randomly installed a second superuser app. When I install busybox from the play store it just hangs on "removing old busybox" ... And it eventually fails.

Oddly enough... I just went to the rooting for newbies thread and flashed the files from there and it fixed my problem... Busybox from the play store wouldn't work but its fine now. Also I just reflashed supersu and now i'm good. thanks for your help anyway!
EDIT: okay more weirdness... Now suddenly my external2internal disappeared. How do I get this back?
 
Which victorious are you on? If its the latest version you can try flashing the component you need from post #761.
 
I've been looking through the thread and seeing conflicting reports about the new release working or not. How stable is it? I'd like to flash it but the issues people are having worries me. I don't really want to flash back to stock just to get it working again. Hell I just saw a post about someone's phone not booting after flashing the newest release.

First - make a backup. Then, if you don't like, returning is quick.

I lasted about 10 minutes - did not like the keyboard.

Most of us stopped using supersu and use koush's superuser. The one that looks like a pound sign by clockworkmod. The zip of it in the description in playstore (scroll down) removes any other superusers you may have in there.
 
Does anyone know if the stock deodexed file you download on the vmobi browser is compatable with the mg5 update like the current version of victorious, I tried flashing and no luck, I wiped cache and dalvic cache that was it before flashing it just says unsuccessful.
 
Ok I feel like you were really clear about this but can I do a factory reset before installing this ROM, if not can I do one after installing it?
 
Ok so new problem. Right after I got the phone I downloaded/installed the update that was prompted. A day later (today) I flashed TRWP with ODIN and then flashed the Busybox and SuperSU through TWRP. Immediately after I flashed Victorious only wiping cache and dalvik. And now Ive been stuck on the samsung logo for about 15-20 minutes. Did I do something wrong or miss a step?

You have to be rooted to install the ROM wouldn't a factory reset make you not rooted? And if you do it afterwards wouldn't it delete the rom?

Also my phone doesnt wanna see g60's backup on my SD card and I didnt make one before installing.
 
You have to make a backup first like cache and then delete it so that you have the folder to put g60s back up in.

No because I dropped the whole TWRP folder onto my SD?

Edit: oops I guess I was wrong You were right, thanks. But now that I can go back to stock Im still curious as to what I did wrong flashing the ROM?

The back up I made was one that has the broken MMS. How can I get the ability to download MMS? I've been looking through this thread, but it's just too freakin' long at this point :o

Thanks!!! Sorry for being a dork.

I had mms problems since day one with stock. First backup stock messaging with titanium backup. I just uninstalled stock messaging and all third party sms/mms apps. Then reinstall stock messaging with titanium backup. Just the app not app data. Worked for me.
