Guest hecatae Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 It wasn't easy to root this device as Orange have locked it down somewhat. Non of the standard exploits worked and without root initially on the device it's not possible to pull the boot.img. The boot.img needs to be extracted and rebuilt with root enabled and security disabled, the you can remount the system partition R/W and push Superuser to provide full root. Anyway Paul managed to find a solution to this. The best thing is it has allowed him to produce a simple method for people to use. This guide should be up tomorrow along with the required files. Would an image.bin update image in the image folder on the sd card be the way forward on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unrandomsam Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 sim unlocking has nothing to do with rooting. the blade unlocker apparently doesn't work on skate. Could try replacing the files from gsf (reason why the custom roms are unlocked anyway is just don't check the simlock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lordjubblydave Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Paul, if you are planning on releasing a MCR for The skate, could you try and include that orange wifi boost app, I noticed it is hot open sauce and I feel it is a pretty cool feature.

Guest todoleo Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I now have an Orange Monte Carlo and would be happy to try rooting/getting an image dump with appropriate instructions. Feel free to message me to guide me through the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to message me to guide me through the process. Try putting it into download mode (hold on both volume keys at once) Then dump the radio stuff using QPST Or you could probably use the V880 tool.

Guest sej7278 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 So there's some coding similarity to the Blade? I'm a total phone noob lol. looks like recompiling 2.6.35 from source (when we get it) should be simple enough for the blade - i.e. just set those options. oddly enough they're pretty different from the gingerleak settings, which does tend to backup the zte guy who said the leak was for skate not blade. anyone gone mad and tried to boot the kernel from the skate directly on the blade? :Dstirfry_config.gz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
