Default [ROM] Stock rooted 6.3

In keeping with my tradition of providing stock rooted ROMs, I've re-packaged the new 6.3 update. As with my past ones, this is completely stock except for modifications that provide root access. It does not attempt to block OTAs in any way, and it does not contain any extras like the Market.

This is a full ROM, not an incremental update, so it will wipe your /system partition when installing. If you're coming from a non-stock ROM you'll want to wipe data/cache, but if you're coming from a previous stock ROM you should be okay. This is tested in CWM (it's what I have onhand right now) but TWRP should also work.

Changes between this and a completely stock 6.3 ROM are:

REMOVED FROM ROM
  • The new /system/bin/check_rooted binary
  • Stock recovery image
  • Stock bootloader image
  • That goofy userdata-backup.zip

ADDED TO THE ROM
  • Superuser
  • su
  • busybox

CHANGES
  • Removed the entry from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot.
  • Set ro.secure=0 so adbd runs as root (insecure boot version only)
  • updater-script doesn't attempt to install recovery, bootloader, or userdata-backup.zip file since they are not in the ROM.
  • updater-script won't check your /system partition's size before installing. This means it will install on a /system partition that's been resized, but I have not tested this. My assumption is that if you resized /system you'll know how to handle any errors that you may encounter.

I'm providing secure and insecure boot images, as with my past versions. For those unfamiliar, insecure means adbd runs as root on your Fire so you get a root shell when you use adb to connect (i.e. you get # by default). Secure gives you a user shell (the $) by default, but you can still use 'su' to elevate to root.

DOWNLOADS
Stock rooted 6.3, secure boot image (md5: 37f51cd2dfaf58baffac09135236de36)
Stock rooted 6.3, insecure boot image (md5: e551a507ebc64fabe09f7d5387348585)

So if I flash this off Modaco gr7 to get to the latest version should I be ok as long as I wipe Dalvik and cache?

I would say probably yes since it's mostly stock, but I've never tried so I can't say for certain. Worst case should be that you bootloop, at which point you can always go back into recovery and wipe data, too.
