LG Ultimate 2 / Re: Runtime in developer options
« Last post by rcunningham on September 21, 2017, 01:17:47 pm »
Did a little more research, and it seems as if you can switch back.  Some had problems, but the posts I found were 2014-2015.  I'd probably make a TWRP backup first.  The only thing I am not sure if it will work is Xposed.  I may try this bit want to wait for a few more replies to see what others have experienced.

TY
I would definitely make a TWRP backup, Xposed has messed up a few of my devices. I would stick with the runtime the phone comes with, as its probably the best preforming one on lollipop and under.

I tried switching to ART when I first got this phone in early 2015, but it wouldn't stick after rebooting.  I see relevant lib and binary files in '/system' but never investigated to figure out how to get it working.  Now I'm curious again.

LG Ultimate 2 / Runtime in developer options
« Last post by Kryten on September 16, 2017, 01:12:24 pm »
So, I've never seen this answered or asked before.  Would you switch the runtime from Dalvik to ART in the developer options menu?  Why or why not?  I've heard ART in early KitKat devices wasn't reliable, but figure you guys are the experts here.

Recovery Building / Re: Flashing Recovery - ZTE Cymbal T
« Last post by Haruo on September 10, 2017, 12:28:58 pm »
hmm... I guess I'll have to look beyond form factor then xD. I don't know whether ZTE makes any other Android flip phones, or any other manufacturer, really (except Samsung, I guess).

Lollipop doesn't look too promising for perm root... Anything for kernel version 3.10.49 (November 2016)?

Man, ZTE did well on their part... I've read about people somehow being able to flash TWRP + CM11 on their ZTE phones and then disable write protection, and others who did it the other way around. I just got an unlucky combination, ehh? Lollipop and write protection.

I have the kernel source, but I'm not quite sure what to do with it... If I were to mod the kernel, wouldn't I need a special key to sign its .zip in order to flash, given that the stock recovery actually works?

I'm pretty sure the boot loader is locked down on uncommon models, meaning there really isn't one. Kinda like early versions of OS X. You could try some stuff from the LG L4 II but I'm not sure if that would work.

Recovery Building / Re: Flashing Recovery - ZTE Cymbal T
« Last post by rcunningham on September 10, 2017, 05:40:07 am »
From what I know of, there isn't a way to do this, as I have barely kept up with anything other then LG devices (I now have a LG G5 and it isn't rooted cause I just don't see a need for it) so I can't really help.

My first guess would be that it needs to find a permanent root before you can flash a recovery, no matter how much in adb you use, root will always be needed. I would look for a similar phone then attempt the root from that on your, like the L41C was to the L70.

Recovery Building / Flashing Recovery - ZTE Cymbal T
« Last post by Haruo on September 10, 2017, 02:19:46 am »
Hello guys,

I decided to splurge and stay up all night to compile TWRP for the ZTE Cymbal T. I have no idea whether it will actually work or not, but here (GitHub) is my device tree so far.

I was able to make a recovery image, but now I'm kinda stuck. eMMC write protection (includes /system partition, /recovery, etc.) is enabled by default on the Cymbal T, and (thus, I presume) I have only been able to get temporary root with Kingo. I read somewhere about it being a "cache" root, which makes a bit of sense, but I still don't quite understand...

Anyway, I need to find a way to get this flashed... I've tried a Play Store app to flash the image, but it fails, and it seems to use DD. When I disable write protection by using this command in a Terminal emulator (with temp root):
Code: [Select]
reboot disemmcwp, it seems that Kingo cannot root the device, as opposed to when WP is enabled... Then again, Kingo tends to fail sometimes with WP enabled anyway (finicky, I guess?), so I'll test it with WP disabled again, and report back...

Has anybody had to work around this with LG devices, or anything? I've only heard of this being a ZTE thing.

Sadly I cant find any stock files for this device, I sold mine a long time ago and all I remember is that the bootloader was literally stuck.
Stuck... speaking of that, how do the bootloaders work on these phones? I try to boot into it, but it takes me to the OS instead (on another TracFone).

I was just reading a post where someone wrote that, if you call TracFone, they will carrier-unlock the phone for you. I have not tried this myself, though. For root, try KingRoot, KingoRoot (note the "o" in this one), etc. Be careful, though, as I have heard of some (stock) phones not booting after being rooted. Better safe than sorry.
