ROOTSide ROM
Base Flipside ROM with root/busybox/unknown sources enabled. Only thing different in this rom than rooting it yourself is you get to check/uncheck unknown sources. Yes, that means you can turn unknown sources ON and OFF! I have a clockworkmod recovery folder zipped up for distribution, but I want to post a full-fledged ROM zip file for the masses. PM me, and I will send you the ZIP file that I have right now.
What you get:
base install for the flipside (AT&T) with motoblur ready to set up. It is the exact same thing as doing a factory reset, but you get all the benefits of superuser with busybox and the addead feature of having unknown sources checkbox in the settings.
I will work towards a deoxed version this weekend as well.
No custom bootscreen (yet). No custom anything, really.
Almost There
I am currently in the middle of Deodexing the image. I have added in wifi tethering, and ensured it will have superuser and busybox pre-packaged. Next step is pushing this to my wife's phone and not having her get a pretty brick in return. If all goes well, I will be posting the image by morning light (CST).
Fingers Crossed!
Well
Things didn't go too well with my first build attempt. Appears to be a permission issue with the /system folder. I will sleep on it, and give it a second go in the morning. Sorry for the apparent "tease". If you want a faster build, I could use some other devs working with me.
Hey man, sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up...I already found a way to get the root with unknown sources checked, so i'm just gonna wait for the deoxed version! Hope it goes well as you try again.
Current Issues
unable to deodex the following:
/system/app/AABSync.odex
/system/app/blur-services.odex
Will try to load to phone without dodexing those two files. Hopefully all will go well.
Me too...good luck!!

Both of those files are att/moto bloat... just be rid of them

Glad to see some work on this device, I love the form factor but it's obviously not very popular with devs...
Very interested to see this come around. I would like to streamline the wife's phone. Her battery life is a 1/3 of my rooted and flashed X10. Sadly though I am NOT a Dev nor even a cook.
I would have had something sooner, but I ran into issues not related to the ROM. Still working on it. Anybody have an idea for upgrading the CWM from the one we can currently use?
so I was curious, I was able to get to unlock mode with an sqlite thing and it worked just fine for me, but have you been able to knock out the bloat and stuff? cause it sounds like the makings of a custom rom lol
you know what the turtle said.. slowly but surely I will win this race

Several ppl have said they have run into this problem...don't know what the deal is...
Is it possible to get CM7, or it's a problem with a locked kernel?
Ok, I just got a new phone for the Mrs., so I can break the flipside and unbreak it as much as I like.
Time for some real fearless development lol.

sounds good man, keep us posted on progress!!
So check this out...I messaged the guy at modmymobile and asked how things were going becuase I heard people were having problems getting an updated CMW and this is his response:
"been sittin on the updated cwm recovery binaries and been draggin my feet/takin a break the past week or 2. i'll throw something out soon, but cant commit to a timeframe, sorry."
Looks like things are on the up and up...stay patient everyone
GOOD JOB!!!,
We are waiting for the rom

Update #2 fr the day
Ok, stumbled across something today while trying to work some bugs.....
I managed to "inject" a recovery into the rom, and while it actually booted into recovery, and did recovery things, it even went so far as to boot the tab.
But that was it, didnt get a full boot.
So, I stumbled upon a Clockwork Recovery buy doing the right tricks i suppose, however alot needs to be ironed out. and this gets top priority this weekend, why? well ****, think about it, CWM for the CDMA Tabs for Gingerbread, and before Verizon releases GB, so this.......is great news.
Hope to have this done by end of weekend, and in doing so it might iron out the zip flash issue which means I can pump out those 2 roms.
Just wanted to share.
First, I'm removing the download link.
Second, yes I do get your PM's, and yes I do read them, and Yes, I agree....I am bad at getting back to people sometimes. Very busy trying to get GB out for the CDMA Tabs in a working fashion. I am sorry. Those of you who know me, just call, it does hurt my hands to type.
The Update.
I am yanking the download link as it is apparent that the release was/is a failure, how I managed to get it on my tab, no clue, however I cant duplicate it again.
I am working on the build, 1 for Sprint, 1 for VZW. I am trying to get it deodexed 100%, and at the same time get a VZW 3G build working.
However what is very important, that will take less time for me to flash a build to test.....is a recovery. We need a Gingerbread recovery. We do.
So I am doing a few things.....
1. doing my research on compiling a new kernal, and CWM for our tabs
2. asked for an recieved help in a new kernal and recovery
3. changing how i build these roms, no more "kitchens" or stupid "gui" based apps on Linux or Windslows that foul up the permissions, I am going 100% command line for a more effective result, and less need for revisions.
4. Working non stop through the weekend once my wife comes home from work today, so from noon today, to 3am sunday/monday I will be hard at work on all Better Than Life Releases.
I appreciate your patience in this botched release, next time, ill release a test build to a few people for a backup verification it will go without problem.
Until then, i gotta get to work.
Jim
Update..........7-12 6am
I just spent 5 hours trying every trick in the book... from extracting factory.rfs and trying to rebuild it to forcing a fake recovery... I got nothing. The problem is that ALL of the kernels that exist with CWM are ext4 froyo kernels, but the new kernel source for GB doesn't contain ext4 code... therefore, no flashy (unless by a fluke) because on reboot it tries to mount everything as rfs but it's in ext4 after you flash in an ext4 conversion kernel. I would have to design a new GB kernel with CWM and EXT4 modules in the source or revert a froyo kernel to pre-ext4 and put in a new cwm... either would take a couple of days... but I'm swamped right now. The only choice is for you to set it back up on your device like you had it and then pull a roto. Did what I could, sorry.

So, we tried (spacemoose and I) to get the extracted rom from my device to install on several others and ran across the same problems everyone else was having. however, the extracted rom being deodexed and zipalilgned, my device not.
So today I am going to try to get the 3G working, make the mods to the rom, and extract it, then try to inject the deodexed system and framework back in (which is always a ***** on a live device) and ill have no choice for now but to release a Heimdall flashable version of the rom.
I am waiting for that VZW release because with the sprint in my hands, and with a VZW version, all thats lacking is a Sprint tab to start making GB roms for both devices, however today will be a different story.
Oh, I did get TW4.0 to slightly work on the tab, itll either be released later, or maybe in an alpha build. I found it....well interesting. I tried it on the Psirens Rom (I have a TouchWiz4 version of Psirens) but it was way to damn buggy to release.
Ill keep yall posted today. Painpill time
Verizon wants to take their time, fine, screw them.
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Based on the Sprint update
Deodexed
Zipaligned
a little de-bloating
added CDMA/3G Verizon (3G with Verizon right now is a 50/50 shot
Kernal included in flashable zip
Just drop on SD Card, wipe everything
flash
enjoy
I am running this on my daily driver Verizon, to test and work bugs out and get 3G fully working, so expect alot...ALOT of updates and new versions of Gingerbread for Verizon.
This will be a constant updating project. So please expect bugs, and this is a last minute slap together thing tonight.
Enjoy.

PULLED LINK FOR NOW 7-15-11
Omg thanks
Is this any faster/snappier than the stock SprintGB? I just finished getting it working on my vzw tab and it took me a while to get set up. Is it worth switching?
And btw thank you for all the work you do for the CDMA community, we greatly appreciate it!!

indeed I'm lookin for the phone*.apk of VZW GB. is there an update of VZW?
Awesome, am giving this a try now.
Couple of questions:
1. Is this ext4?
2. Can we overclock with this kernel?
Thanks, this is huge for us suffering VZW tab owners!
When trying to install I got an error...something along the lines of, "error at line 11, can't symlink"

My "solution" was to just flash the Sprint rooted rom, which works with the VZW tab (not sure about 3g, though, I just use wifi anyway).
Would love it if we could get an ext4 and overclockable kernel working w/ GB for the VZW folks.
Going to download this today. This is almost more exciting than hcomb . I am glad someone is working on a vzm gbread rom.
Thanks Oldmacnut

Yeah, I'm sure something was just missed when oldmacnut compiled the zip for us. He'll get it worked out soon enough just hold off for now until there is word from him.
Getting the error as well. I am using the Sprint GB ROM in the meantime...
Oldmacnut can you give us more info on your custom ROM? I am assuming you have it rooted but the Sprint ROM is 190M while yours is 360M. Just wondering what kind of bloatware you removed and what if anything has been added to account for almost 2x the file size. Thanks
Ok, here's a head scratcher (but then again, I have lice lol). Anyhow, Im having problems with my "new" SPH-L700. My last Sprint Gnex ate itself, and now Im not sure Im pretty safe in assuming Im on Stock. But Im not sure why the Toroplus ROMs I download, seem to not want to install. The only thing that DID stick was I corrected the radios as when it was given to me, it had two different radios so Im on 4.2.1 GA02 and they both match now. Im fully rooted (confirmed by Root Checker Pro) reset, and everytime Ive tried to install any ROMs they send my poor little andy on his back with a mean old red triangle coming out his poor belly. and the info tells me that the file is bad. Ive tried this with at least 3-4 ROMS and it's the same result.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Black out your IMEI. Or just delete the status screenshot; it's unnecessary. Are you using a custom recovery? What recovery and what version? What ROMs are you trying to flash? If you unzip the ROM what happens? Do any have md5sums?

Thank you for the info. I think it's done.
Im using CWM v. 6.0.3.6
Ive tried the new PAC-MAN 4.3, codename Android, Carbon & AOKP the closest thing I can come across that's close to an mdnsnd found that in AOKP and Carbon. Ive since deleted codename and Carbon Is there any other info you need? Im not a developer or anything. Never really had many problems once I got the hang of it. Usually I can figure it out, but this has gotten me conf*ckulated
Thanks,
Ridge
Oh yeah, sorry, when I try to install it, I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo that basically says its a (bad) file and it aborts the install.
Unzip one of the ROMs. What do you see? Folders? Files?
By md5sum I mean, do the ROM devs provide a md5sum? The purpose is to hash your downloaded copy and make sure it matches the dev's version.
I'm asking both questions to figure out whether the downloads are corrupt.

Im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, I fell asleep. I cant rest til I know my baby (yes, I said it LOL), is all squared away. So usually I just pass out from exhaustion.
Anyway, when I try to install any of those ROMS i get this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package..
E: can't open /sdcard/o/then the name of the rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Then that's all she wrote. Im SO glad I remembered to do a backup before I started messing with my phone THIS time. (I forget a lot of times).
Ive checked all three of my ROMS, and I dont find any md5sums in any of them. It's very strange that either my computer would either corrupt or download 3 ROMS that I feel are usually pretty reliable. I DO however, have a "hash" .txt file in my phone's program. Might that be the trouble? Or is that supposed to be there when I root? Crazy SH*T man. I dunno. I thank you SO very much for all your help. This is quite frustrating. What's a dummy to do? LOL. If I came off snappy to you in my last post, it wasnt meant to be that way. I was just wondering if there was anymore info i could help you with. Im not so good with words sometimes, and I come off as an ass. I AM very appreciated of all your time and help. Doesnt seem like anyone in here really likes to help, and I get a bit cranky when I ask a question in a thread in here and I get made fun of instead of getting any help. So I really am glad for all your time and effort
Thanks so very much,
Ridge
P.S. I always forget all youve asked me... When Ive unzipped all the ROMs, I have folders that have TONS of files in them.

I've done that 3 times so now this time I get my send dates telling me that I sent stuff on the 31st of December 1969. I don't get it. I am in stock right now.

What Rom did you install the stock 4.4 zdk or the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom?

Beavers & Ducks!
i flashed the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom idk why it installed a recovery with it couldnt see sd card then when tried flashing another e980 rom it wouldnt let me said i had the wrong device or something idk im pissed about to smash it
_________________

i was on a cwm before but it ended up flashing a new one and thats when i started having problems now no recovery stuck at lg logo and i know my battery is low
The first thing I would do is pull your battery, wait a few minutes, put the battery back in and connect the charging cable. It may not want to boot but it will charge the battery while the phone is off. Get your battery charged first, then worry about getting it up and running again.
Keep in mind I'm not picking at you or anyone. But why would someone choose to flash a Rom designed for one version to another version? I know our devs make tweaks to allow one to run on the other but it's a chance I wouldn't take. If you have the E980, stick to E980 Roms. It's risky enough flashing Roms as it is because no two devices are the same. You know what I mean? And don't smash you phone. There are many smart people here that can get you up and running again. Smash the phone and you will be upset with yourself later....trust me. I did it and I was pissed at myself later when I found out it was easy to fix....stay calm....lol
i know i knew i should not have idk ive been flashing zips for a very long time guess it happened to still get the best of me even though i read through the thread and i seen a couple e980 users saying it worked haha well not for me i just hope i can get her back up and going soft bricks are ok its when i cant fix this that makes me crazy. slammed around my dual monitors and almost went after my evga build which would not have been good. Man i can not thank u enough i even had to make another account my old one was lows10 and i guess it was inactive for to long but been here since 07 only place i trust to exploit my devices.
Well I'm not the smartest person here. I just got this phone about a month ago and I haven't even got flashing it back to stock down pat yet. It's a work in progress....lol. But just get your battery charged for now. Then you will most likely have to flash it back to stock. I don't know if you have done this process yet on that phone but if you have then you know basically what you need to do. Just don't go flashing any more Roms made for other versions of the g pro....lol
this will be my 3rd time flashing back to stock but with my phone not being read as a e980 i cant get back to stock.
Did you use the Lg Flash Tools method?
Yes lg flash tool has worked perfect until now after that ROM

Ok. Give this method a try....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459825....I don't know if it will work for ya as it didn't work for me. But hey, you gotta try something and maybe you will get luck and it will work for you. Give it a go and see what happens.

Tricky bugger it's gonna be ah? Did you try running it in Administrator mode? Be sure to follow the steps exactly as he lays them out.
Well in the left it says lge988at maybe thats why it isnt working with the lg flash? Grrrr idk this sucks and it keeps stopping working and its not in english
It has to be on com 41. I have noticed the lg flash tools method can be hit and miss with allot of people. I finally got it down pat enough to get it to work every time. You could try doing it this way........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476........He gives a link to a newer lg flash tools. Maybe you will have better results.
damn it still closes with that its right after it gets done loading my phone i guess i cant flash a e988 stock and see if that works? thats what it reads it as right before it closes idk maybe its cause 8.1 but dont think so the app doesnt even open in english idk seems like everyone elses is.
Honestly I don't know why it isn't in English. It is for me but I'm on the stock E980 FW. All I can think is you, somehow, flashed the Korean version of the F240. Just as a precaution I keep a flashable stock 10k on my sd card just in case the need for it arises. But not being able to get into recovery isn't helping your cause here. Keep an eye on the battery as well. If it starts draining down too far just power it off and let it charge more so you don't get so involved with the phone you forget. The problem for me is I'm more of a hands-on person. it's harder for this type of person to walk someone through fixing a gadget.....lol.
An honestly man, I don't know how else to help you. Hopefully someone allot smarter than me is gonna come along any minute now that will know exactly how to fix this issue. All I can suggest now is to keep searching the forum for this type of problem and find a solution. Just don't lose your temper or give up. The solution is here somewhere. I'll search around too. See what I can dig up.
exactly what i thought man ahhh and idk why its not in english either i mean im on my pc there should be no reason for it not to work. Idk I appreciate all your help. havent been in trouble like this since back years and years ago on the old first gen g1 hahahah. and ya flashing the Korean version of the F240 is what i did i really hope there is a way to fix this i had a backup but external sd card quit working so tranfered it on the phone when it still worked flashed back seemed fine went to try flash the e980 baseband and still no good now im just stuck. tempted to try and see if the e988 will work since it wont flash the stock e980 sorry for keep on talking im just going crazy.
It's all good man. I understand your frustration. I have been doing this for a long time now as well. Most of my experience is with moto's and Samsungs. Now I'm learning all over again with another phone myself. But anywho, yeah, give that a try. Flash the e988 if you can. At least if it works you can get into your recovery and sd card to try and flash it back to stock from there and be back on the E980 fw. It's like going around your ass to get to your elbow but hey, if it works who cares right?.....lol. And if you get it working again I suggest putting a flashable stock zip on your sd card just in case. But as I said before, It doesn't help if you cant get into recovery. But when you can it can be a life saver.
I do remember reading there are permission issues if you're running windows 8 or 8.1 on that last method I linked you to. You may want to look into how to overcome that issue and try again. If you haven't already that is.
Hmm at least it says e980 now but can't get past this

C'mon someone else besides me has to be still running stock.. It is a very easy copy and upload, please help a brother out.
Im sorry, I tried to be patient. I am pretty sure Ive helped more than a few people out around here. All Im asking for is about 5mins or less for someone to copy and upload these. I didnt screw anything up, just want to remove some mods I flashed a long time ago in which I no longer have a copy of.

Idk what your currently running, if its bone stock or what but you should be able to rip what you need from a rom download/. I unfortunately am running aosp or else I would help you in a heartbeat. There are alternate methods though!! good luck... also just came to mind, try pulling it from a nand or twrp backup.
Yeah I flashed these so long ago I dont have that backup anymore. Im pure stock as far as rom goes Im on 10m. I found some from 10c but its the framework and one thing you most definetly need the matching version of. I dont have my computer for a while so I cant return to stock and start over.
Thanks for the reply though.
Downloaded and extracted from zone rom.. All good now.
