Wind Mobile & Videotron LG-D801 - aboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img, and SYSTEM DUMP!

Hey devs

I have pulled out the aboot.img and recovery.img files for the Wind Mobile and Videotron D801V11B version that does not have a working root (Chinese version is the only root available) or recovery out yet.

Devs can hopefully be able to use this to create a root and recovery for the non T-Mobile D801.

Here are the links for the files.

Thanks

UPDATE 1

System dump for the D801 for Wind Mobile and Videotron:

Thanks for taking some initiative with your know how to get some development on Wind phones rolling.

I hope some developers will see this!

My guess is that since the Tmo version is the 801 and so is the wind there is a pretty good chance that you will be able to get root fairly easy. Maybe post over in the ioroot thread and link to the thread here so they can see these files.

Just used the Rogers twrp recovery and it works on the Wind Mobile variant. I successfully have installed Recovery on my phone. Got the twrp file from the link:

and I used the method outlined in Option 2 from the link:

Works like a charm and as for root used the Chinese root method and no funny behavior on my end :laugh:

Superb! Forgive my ignorance, but what is the Chinese root method?

Now that there is a working recovery, would it be safe to flash T-mob roms and see what works and what doesn't?

This was the optional Chinese root method

Yeah I believe it would be safe to flash those ROMs. Since it is the Canadian recovery that works, I am inclined to think that the D803 Roms might be more compatible than the T-mob D801 Roms. Just make sure you create a nandroid before you install any other Rom.

I'm curious what makes one device more compatible than another when they all have different boot img and other than the radios the hardware is all the same?

I'd make sure to remove the boot.img from any ROM zip you try to flash just to decrease the chances of boot-looping your device.

I can confirm that the Rogers TWRP works and you can flash it using Flashify if you're rooted. :laugh::laugh:

Thanks scrosler. I was wondering how far along did you get with the stock ROM and if you needed anything else from me to get a working ROM out.

Thanks for all your hardwork again!
