*ROM* JBsourcery *First port attempt. Need testers

i did read the dev guidlines. im sorry this thread isnt set up the proper way. once i make sure this port actually works i will post it the proper way...right now this is all a crapshoot for me. :lol
I Used to have a Galaxy Nexus and loved the ROM JBSourcery but I want the ROM on my Nexus 4 but have never had any luck with devs to port it. So I followed the directions on how to port a ROM over to a new device. It was rather straightforward and easy....maybe a little too easy. Anyways. I have to have my phone up and running for the good part of the week so Im unable to test this. If anyone out there is willing to test it and give me an update on whats working and whats broken on it I would appriciate it.
I take no responsibilies on your device bricking. I take no credit for the contents of the ROM. I am simply trying to port it over to a new device
****download link removed until i can find a proper GSM version of JBsourcery to port.
Thanks to all those that tested for me!
this is a link to the ROM for the galaxy Nexus so you can see the features. I am attempting to keep everything the same..just a straight port..no extra bells and whistles.

When you compile/port something for the very first time, you flash it first and if it boots up, you post the download link, OP.
Posting untested Rom's download link is beyond the pale.

In my experience, it generally stands as a rule of thumb to port from gsm to gsm, and cdma to cdma. portinga cdma rom to flash onto a gsm device can lead to issues....or so the experience I've had has proven

sorry to hear its not booting for anyone. Ill look back into it when i can..maybe i missed something on the port. But in response to the quote i honestly thought i had the GSM version bookmarked and was using it for the port. I will remove the download link for the time being until i am able to find the gsm version again and try to port. anyone else out there interested in this port is more then welcome to post in this thread with advice for me. this is my first "dev" moment for ROM porting.

I hope it gets ported soon. I been using Carbon its a great ROM as well but no comparison to sourcery
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

just finished working on the port with a proper GSM. I got to stay up a little later tonight because I start a new position tomorrow at the early job. its uploading now. i havent tested it yet since im about to crash out. i will post the link either before i head into the first job...or while im at home getting ready for the second job. remember...right now it is untested so i guarantee nothing. i may be able to test it this weekend but i just wanted to give those out there that are holding their breathe for this and chance...if this one still results in issues then im going to have to find a new "how to port" thread.

Root question(s)

There's a lot of info floating around out there so I figured I'd try to set the record straight. And I can't be the only ones with these questions, so it might be good to have the answers all in one place.
From what I understand, the root for the note 3 on other carriers is working, even though some are still listed as untested. What would happen if one was to try the procedure on the at&t variant?
Next question is more of just a general outlook for the rooting future of this device. Is it looking like its doable, a hell of a challenge, or just plain impossible?

Sent from my SM-N900W8 using xda premium

From everything that I have read over the past couple of days AT&T has a locked bootloader. The TMobile version doesn't have one. The reason why root works for it is because it flashes a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP and then roots it from there. That is not possible with a locked bootloader. I would rather get the TMobile version of the Note 3 and just SIM unlock it and use it on AT&T but coming up with $700+ dollars is not an option for me. So I can only hope an exploit is found for the AT&T version.

There will always be a workaround. The phones only been out a little while so it's always best to wait and be patient. Yeah it sucks but early stuff can be unstable. No matter how hard it gets lock down it's not going to be "unlockable". It's just a matter of how much work it's going to take to unlock it.

Well its pretty much going 2 be a hell of a challenge. I'm coming from att Galaxy S4 & it has been crazy over there as far as this bootloader locking with att. U do have root but things haven't been easy by no means so I'm sure it'll be no easier with this device, if not more difficult. But hey I'm optimistic, if we can just get root I'll be happy...

I find the loki recovery to be easy on the S4.. remember Sprint and Verizon also will have lock bootloaders.
I doubt the two largest networks (Vzw, AT&T) will be left in the dirt.

Everyone thought the same about the S4 with the mf3 update then it got rooted with safestrap to load roms. Everyone thought you couldn't reverse it but it is now reversible. There is even a one click app to root it. Just give it some time.

I have been pestering at&t customer service about it as frequently as I can. Maybe once a week.
The chat guys are really nice but they admit they dont know anything about the update. They admit it has been released over 3 months ago (by samsung to at&t) and that they have to sanction it first. They also say "i dont konw, might be never".
I got a chat guy for AT&T to admit that 4.4.2 for S4 was released 2/26/2014
So if it was this recently, note 3's update is probably coming soon.

Has anyone else received a small software update? I am currently in baseband nb4.

The title really should be changed.
1: it is misleading and makes people think it has been released
2: it has not been released so this "discussion" is exactly the same as the rest all over the forums.
3: it is a question in the OP asking for an ETA. Not really allowed and nothing has been said or heard on when it comes out. It gets released when it gets released. And since it is a question, it belongs in the QA section.

She got kitkat. We haven't yet. On her phone the entire system has to be bone stock to update. At least that's what I'd do just to be sure. Make sure she has a good wifi connection.

if at&t follows their usual update patterns, i expect it will be released in late april or early may (when the s5 is coming out). im assuming they're just waiting for the s5 to come out before releasing kitkat so people will buy the s5 instead of the s4 since it will be their only kitkat phone. just an educated guess

AT&T already officially released the 4.4.2 KitKat update for the S4 about 2 weeks ago.

When will we be able to root note 3 running 4.4.2

If there is not a chance of rooting or putting a custom rom on my note 3 then what's the purpose of even having this thing. It's nice but my note 2 has much more options as far as putting a custom rom on it. What has Samsung done? Are they in competition with HTC as far as locking us out of our own devices that we pay several hundreds of dollars for. I figured 1 of these devs would have already had this figured out and if they can't then we are pretty screwed

If you did your research you'd find that root is available and that you can install custom roms via safestrap.
Also Samsung isn't the one limiting the note 3 by locking the bootloader. It's at&t. Don't be hatin on Samsung.

Nothing posted in the DEV section yet because we don't have root, and as far as I know there hasn't been a VZW Dev edition released yet (and I'm doubting there will be with the production issues they've had getting the regular GS6E's out).
Trust me, we all (or mostly all?) want root, but we have to be patient - i'd be blown away if we got a root solution before the Note 4.

What I thought of course. But there should at least be a post or two saying: hey, I'm so and so dev. Im working on root. Will post back in a few days when completed. Lol

When you root your device, the integrity gets breached, which is necessary for important and sensitive features like mobile payments. :good:

Well if those so called "caring" companies would give us customers a little bit more control of our phones to get rid of some of their crapware, etc., then I would be all for it but they keep the lock on too tight as far as I'm concerned.

i lold at this post.. you dont just have a new device come out and a dev say it will take him a few days... the note 4 has been out for many months now and is still not rooted.. if you want to know where devs are at check those threads because they are working on rooting that device currently..
there is i believe only one L exploit that would not help in gettimg root available right now so until more exploits are found we dont stand a chance with root

You don't read the right threads then.

I came off a RAZR HD MAXX, and have always had Moto phones (this is my first non-moto phone), but I read in at least 2 places that root cannot be had on this phone because verizon and AT&T have locked bootloaders. Now, Im not sure what the boot loader has to do with getting root, because with my Motos I always rooted before unlocking the BL (on the phones I had that UL the BL was an option), but it just doesnt sound right.
I dont think I want to use custom ROMs any longer, I just want to use root apps. Really hoping someone finds an exploit for it.

I believe it is for all kernels up to May 2015.
It has been tested on the S6, and should work for any phone with a vulnerable kernel.
It should result in a root tool similar to towelroot.
