in general, no... read, read, read... and after that, read some more.... look at other devices, see how they are set up, etc...

everything is in c or java... but the main thing you need to worry about if the device tree... someone else already wrote the c files, the java files, and generally they will be fine...

google around and see what you can do..!

Ive got bbq linux installing on my main pc. Its got a 200 gig ssd, amd fx6200 processor, 12 gig ddr3. I also have 3 kids under 6 but i can devote 2-3 hours a day. Hopefully i can contribute to dirtyhewr's hard work for our device. Thanks for the links. Already pulled rhe zips from your github.

[MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] does this have anything to do with our device?

[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
yes and no... it's basically the same device with a different chipset...

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 PM ----------

that was the device i actually got the first TWRP from...
[G3 General] Lightn1ng:
WARNING: STUPID QUESTION AHEAD

If the twrp for that device works for us why wouldn't the ROM?
[G3 General] planetz1988:
It might boot or brick or twrp may not even flash it since it has a different chipset.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Couldn't the Chipset be edited for our phone and boot the ROM
[G3 General] planetz1988:
Possibly? But doing so may create just as many errors and hurdles in the build process as what dirtyhewr has already fixed from building device tree on his own. Little more technical than i can answer.
[G3 General] Lightn1ng:
I have enough experience with bricks to know one thing-you don't want em.
[G3 General] planetz1988:
Lol. Ive been flashing since the original galaxy s (mesmerize/ fascinate/ captivate) came out. Ive had my fair share of double wipes, bricks, and back to stock to fix. Understand the feeling.
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Any of us man enough to try it?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
in order for the chipset to be changed, it has to be recompiled... which in turn you need a device tree for... and that's where the problem is...

twrp only needs very little info from the device tree to work... a rom needs way more...

the updater script could be edited, but then in turn, b the binary doesn't match up... because the binary needs to be compiled with the proper device tree... lol

see what I'm getting at?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Yes and no. I see that you're saying it's hard. But I don't understand most of the Dev lingo.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
it didn't work at first... I had to play with a few things to make it work.. changed the boot.img, the dt.img, and a few other things...

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

basically to get it to work, it needs to be recompiled... there's a lot of things in the board config that are a little different... for instance, b the beat has NFC... the vigor does not...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
My phone has NFC, but it's a Vigor, right?
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
what kilks me if that cm has a ROM for the jagnm... which is basically our device... but even if i change very few things in that board config and kernel settings to make it for our device, it fails to compile... so i have to change a few more things to work around those errors... which may leaf to more errirs, or it may give a successful build that doesn't boot...

and on and on... vicious cycle... I've had a lot going on... my best friend/brother of 25 years just had a stroke, so I've been with him in the hospital, and i also have my kid on the weekend... this just got given a lesser priority for now...
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Don't worry, we understand
[G3 General] whatsofunny:
Yes
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Excellent.

Step 1: Read the OP.

Step 2: Download the TOT and the DLL.

Step 3: Follow the guide listed below the TOT link (It's [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION]'s guide), and use the steps for the second section, which includes the TOT method.

This will work provided your phone still powers on and can enter download mode. To save you from a headache (and a lot of parental anger,) you can check to see if you can enter download mode by doing the following with a USB cable hooked up to your PC:

Turn off the phone. With the phone off, you will hold the Volume Up button. Insert the USB into the bottom. You should get the Download Mode screen and be good to go.

Good luck, my young Padawan. May The Force Be With You.

Ok, Thank you, you are a lifesaver. I will let you know how my phone manages. Right now my parents don't know I rooted my phone so they took it to a Sprint store, so I am not sure what will happen.

I tried to do this but I got a big red #2. Any fix?

The way I fixed that is instead of ticking upgrade dl tick board dl but just so you know that makes it stock like you just got it from the store.

[MENTION=6982532]whatsofunny[/MENTION] Try this and let me know what you get.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
Also, for those of you questioning development, I'll be getting some home time around the 15th. I synced the repo for CM, and will be looking to cook up my first ever fully custom CM Rom. It's something I've never really done, but I'm pretty confident I'll be able to do it.

Keep in mind that I only get about five days at home every month and a half, being a truck driver, so progress may be a little slow. In the meanrime, if anyone wants to tackle a stock modified ROM that would go a long way toward us getting our own forum. Speaking with XDA has shown me that we have to get some development up and running or they won't even give it a second thought.

Also, anyone familiar with recoveries should take a look at creating our own TWRP. What we have is fine, but the coding is for the JAGC, not JAGN devices, which is the Sprint model identifier, apparently. Anyone needing stock files let me know. I'll pass along what I can, when I can.

We're close to getting up off the ground, folks, we just need to get more folks involved on the development end of things. I'm a fair hand with Linux, and I'm ok with Java, but I'm not even close to being called a coder, dev, or anything other than a hobbyist with a vested interest in getting things going with this Vigor.

Have fun, and May The Force Be With You All.
[G3 General] Chief_Nodnarb:
Hey guys, my wife has this phone and it is completely stock. Lately, it's been freezing a lot and also slowing down. What I'm wondering is if the root method works without bricking the phone. I want to rid this phone of Sprint's bloat and install TWRP. My daughter has an LG Volt which I have rooted and installed TWRP on. I'm wondering if there are any similarities between these phones. Thanks for the help.
[G3 General] hyelton:
Did you try and do a factory reset?
[G3 General] Chief_Nodnarb:
No not yet. But I'll give it a try and report back.
[G3 General] whatsofunny:
Thanks a lot this method unbricked my phone completely, btw is the 3g only a error?
[G3 General] Chief_Nodnarb:
Well after about an hour after reset, the phone is up to its old tricks. Do you think rooting and debloating would help this at all? If not I'll just buy her a new phone.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
[MENTION=6157086]Chief_Nodnarb[/MENTION]: I think it will. Mine has been running pretty damn smooth since doing the following: If you rooted, download CleanMaster and Titanium Backup. Debloat using TB, and clean the hell out of the phone with CleanMaster. Clean the phone and let CleanMaster help you along. It'll help block auto-starting apps, etc. Greenify didn't work on my device, but you can also give that one a go if you want. It damn sure can't hurt.

Also, try an app called LagFix Free. Our phone is lacking trim, which is a very useful tool that can help fix a lot of lag on the phone. Run it daily, it really helps. [MENTION=6982532]whatsofunny[/MENTION] it may be. I suggest running ##72768# from the dialer and letting it reprovision the phone. Once it's done, reboot, update the PRL and data profile again, and give me the results.
[G3 General] DaemeonZane:
My R9-970X and extra RAM just got to the house. I'll have one hell of a build environment ready to roll when I get home on the 15th. I'll be trying to do just the CM build first, and if I have time, I'll try to do a modded stock.

you have att but not lolli?
[G3 General] Taskmaste2946:
Lollipop ran badly, dunno why, but maybe it would run well if it was debloated. I would upgrade again but I don't want to have to wait a week for Steam Guard
[G3 General] planetz1988:
The stock kdz from first post gets you back about 2 gigs of free space due to a lack of atnt or lg bloatware. Will have to change apn. I have the link for apn settings if anyone wants it. Device is better performance wise. I used that and dirtyhewrs kernel. I dont mind the damn thing as much anymore since it keeps up better.

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

Cuz whatever works for sprint users will have to have changes for atnt users
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
i could compile att as is, and try to inject su into the build... you would have enable fastboot o flash it tho... it doesn't build a fishable zip... only the .img files... so you would have use fastboot to flash the img files... but, hypothetically speaking it should work... that's all rooting a device actually does is injects su... but if done at build time (like cm does) you would have superuser access from the go...

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 AM ----------

If you are willing to test it, I could probably try that.
[G3 General] planetz1988:
Using the kdz off of first post you get no lolli. It wont update. Says nothing new available. My wifes vigor is stock out of the box for atnt us. It has an available lolli update but i havnt done it in concerns of rerooting and it doesnt matter to her.
[G3 General] dirtyhewr:
yes you will lose root... you could even use the one that won't take the Lolli to test it... you will be flashing the system.img directly...

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

i will get a build going in a few mins... just got home...
[G3 General] planetz1988:
Right on. I wanted to make sure others knew if they used the .Kdz no lolli. But it is smoother running by far. I could test it as well. I have a backup s3 so this vigor is a lab rat for the cause. Thanks for being vocal and answering all of us despite your stress.

[G3 General] planetz1988:
[MENTION=5369574]dirtyhewr[/MENTION] the nfc thing made me curious. The sprint vigor does not have nfc. The atnt vigor does. From comparing phone specs for the atnt vigor, sprint vigor, and the beat im kinda led to believe the atnt vigor is a beat rebranded while the cdma vigor is slightly different in no nfc. No sd up to 64 gig. Would you mind checking phonescoop or gsm arena and tell me what you think?

Edit. Although i was wrong i still there is a slight difference between the sprint and atnt vigor.
