Just a Tip
IF someone is pissed off like me when you plug your phone to usb and have to click 3 times before phone connects
1. DIAL 3845#*430# ]425/435[
2. UN-CHECK BOX IN: "Settings">>>"Auto run">>>"AutoRun Enable"
3. Reboot (not sure if necessary but i did)
NO MORE CHECKING FOR DRIVERS / SKIP EVERY-TIME YOU PLUG YOUR PHONE IN

I want to unlock/bypass bootloader, probably update kernel and make/port custom rom (CM preferably)
For e430 e430
I know its a lot to do and that i will need a lot of help but it needs to be done
I know basics about the whole process
I have a lot of spare time
I have the phone for testing (not scared of bricking [i will push the life back to it])
I'm very good at research and spamming manufactures for datasheets/drivers etc.
I need some experienced dev to tell me exact what to look for
What would be EXACT steps trough the process of
1 BOOTLOADER = UNLOCKING / 2ND BOOT ?
2 KERNEL = ? (DRIVERS/OVERCLOCK/DPI{smoothing?})
3 PORTING/MAKING CUSTOM ROM (DRIVERS ETC.)
Please someone ( @-CALIBAN666- @linuxxxx @szymel0 ANYONE ) show me the right direction
@AwesomeSMS please help

sorry but i am at start of my android experience
i study technology in my country at high school however this is my first android smartphone
in this month i understood a lot of things maybe i can help you in somethings but i am not so big to port rom or rebuild bootloader
if you have informations tell me i would like to understand and learn

---

We are gonna need all the help we can get. Thank you!!

You can't have any rom
sorry
no one can develop on those, because mediatek is not developer friendly, they don't release any kind of driver for soc so ayone can compile a rom / kernel without them

---

my gf just bought the phone and want to see cm11 running on it like on my phone
so, how can we support your development?
we are both non it people, living a alternative live in the woods
