Unlock/Root/Rom One V + PACman Jelly Bean!

[fifamm96]

Re: Unlock/Root/Rom One V + CM10 Jelly Bean!

I flashed a custom recovery and chose PACman mod to install from sd card. when i install it, it says "assert failed: get prop("roproduct.device") = = " primoc" I I get prop ("ro.build.product") = = primoc"
E: error in /sdcard/Pacman.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.

what can i do next? i also tried paranoid android, and that gets stuck at the boot screen, it goes past the HTC Quietly Brilliant ... but not the paranoid android screen. any option to what i can try next?

Is your HTC One V a primoc device or a primou?

Well if it is on virgin mobile them out is primoc. If you have a sims card(I'm not talking about the micro sdcard), them you are primou. BE SURE! You don't want to flash the wrong images.

I'm not in the United States, so its definitely not on virgin mobile. And yes i do have a sim card. So would this rom work for me?

No, I believe this rom is for cdma, you will find roms and much more information about your gsm phone on xda 's site. I'm not trying to run you off from here, just there's alot of development going on at xda. Another good place for information is here http://androidforums.com/showthread.php?p=4593340
Good luck.

Just a shout in the dark, but over at android forums they realized that there is two different radios for the cdma version. The newest update that it's suppose to fix the battery calibration also had a radio update in it that it's causing boot loops when ever you try a custom Rom. If you just got your phone ity may have the newer radio on it. Someone said they flashed the ruu (which had the old radio) and then went through the whole unlock, root, and custom recovery routine and solved problem. The old radio has 521...
The new radio has 987.. or something like that.

Yup, same problem I had. I did the RUU, but I still can't install a new ROM. At least I'm not stuck in the boot loop though. At least we know these phones are hard to fully brick....

Re: Unlock/Root/Rom One V + CM10 Jelly Bean!

Okay... battled through everything... successfully got the rom installed, as well as gapps. (Had issues finding a cwm recovery version that would work with the htc one - power button wouldn't work right, but that was it.)

So everything should be good...

...well, almost. It hangs at the pacman loading screen. So close!

I'm at a loss at this point. Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks much.

EDIT: I realized my mistake! I did all the cache wiping, but did not format /system. Did that, re-installed, all is good.
I mean, sure, it turns out I had the wrong radio version... and so I had to do that fix... but yeah, it's good now.

EDIT 2: I will add one more bit of wisdom: Do not go through with all of this until AFTER you have activated your phone! I thought I could get everything rom-wise all nice and set before activating, but during the pacman installation, the handset got some crazy idea of which phone number it was, and it wouldn't activate or allow me to edit the MEID. Just so you know!

Unfortunately, yes you must unlock boot loader to root.

Locked bootloaders can be rooted but since this one is so easy to unlock I don't think anyone is looking for a way to do it with this device.

Unlocking the bootloader allows the installation of custom recoveries.

Use directions from http://www.androidauthority.com/one-v-cdma-android-4-1-1-jelly-bean-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-108905/ but just use the files on this page for pacman.

It sounds like you haven't installed the drivers or something like that.

Thanks for this write-up. This post is 1) To see if anyone is still checking this (in case I need support) and 2) What is a reasonable timeframe for this? I am at work and have an experiment running and want to see if I can accomplish this before it is done. Thanks!

Re: Unlock/Root/Rom One V + CM10 Jelly Bean!

So I went to go download the gapps and all that and the page it took me to in big bold letters said "do not installs gapps with this rom" or something along those lines, are the gapps avoidable or do i need them?

Re: Unlock/Root/Rom One V + CM10 Jelly Bean!

I check this every once in awhile. I am much more present on the xda forums, sorry. This should take about 2 hours, I'd say. Maybe an hour if you're efficient and know what you're doing.

Re: Unlock/Root/Rom One V + CM10 Jelly Bean!

Updated the OP to PACman v19.3 and changed the boot.img to be one that works really well for me. This ROM is completely functional. Go thank inyourface09 over at xda at this thread. If you don't have an account at xda, make one just to thank him!
