[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
Good News.......This one booted ok.

I did not test out all of the functionality but it boots fine and runs the backup fine.

Now I will test it on the earlier firmware just out of curiosity.

Is this compiled using the HTC Dev kernel Source?

I'm wondering because I would like to build a custom kernel and I would expect the same modifications are necessary for the standard boot.img.

Can you please github this with commits so I can see what you've done?

I would like to ask you some questions about the log files.

But I will pm you for that.

Thanks

Big Country

And to answer my own question about the kernel build. :rolleyes:

Since I get no warning message that this is testing only it's obvious that this is a patched kernel.

If it wasn't signed it would give the RED LETTER WARNING.

Silly me.

Which leads me to ask.

Why not compile from the Marshmallow Kernel Source recently released on HTC DEV ?

Although I will be surprised if it will compile and boot without a ton of modifications.

Why other than to cause us more work dose HTC release botched up source?

The must know it's not bootable..........:eek:

Anyway GOOD JOB ----->> You Got it. :good:

If you want to test anything else I'm willing.

Even if it is something that could brick my device I don't care.

I buy these just to test and play with.

I came across some bootloaders ( LK ) that let me fastboot flash any partition even FRP and pg2fs and sec , radio, sbl1 ect ect ect. [ wile booted to boot-loader ] on my 626s.

I'm hoping to have the same for the desire 530 soon.
