major update here, the dualizer has become a feature rich toolkit for dualbooting. this includes a modified version of amon ra's recovery image. you need it to use the dualizer toolkit, it is included and can be flashed with one command.
it is a beta version for now. i have tested each option, but i cannot foresee all conditions you might have on your phone... have a backup at all time! and don't forget to backup the stuff from your sdcard before installing dualboot, during the creation of this toolkit i accidently deleted everything on mine...
there is no logging at the moment, if you get any error messages please paste them here in full.
i haven't tried a nandroid backup at all yet, and wouldn't advice you to do it either. please use apps like titanium backup to backup your stuff. i will be looking into getting some kind of nandroid capability, but that is not a trivial topic. i can however imagine to have full pc-based backup capabilites, sometime in the future...
before you use any of the romX options make sure you have installed the dualboot environment, i have no idea what happens otherwise...
i have tried to include a full description, please let me know if something is unclear (i hope it is obvious that romX needs to be replaced with either rom1 or rom2):
Code:
kendon's dualboot toolkit for the HTC Hero
usage: ./dualizer <option>
place the two roms you want to use for dualbooting in the
rom1 and rom2 subdirectories. make sure directories do
contain other files. you can use the temp/ subdir of the
two rom folders to store your roms while you want to flash
another update.zip
you need a modified version of Amon_Ra's custom recovery image.
it can be installed with this tool, see the options.
options are:
help show this information
vmsetup prepare ubuntu vm for usage
check-dev check if your device is properly attached and connected via adb
boot-rec reboot hero to currently flashed recovery
check-rec check if RA-hero-v1.6.2-DBmod is currently flashed
boot-dbmod put hero in fastboot mode (back+power) first!
fastboot hero with RA-hero-v1.6.2-DBmod
no permanent changes are done, works with unlocked spl only
NOTE: the trackball doesn't select, use green key instead
unlocked-spl copies update.zip for unlocked spl to sdcard, so you can flash it.
if this goes wrong it can brick your phone, make sure you do it right!
flash-dbmod flash RA-hero-v1.6.2-DBmod to recovery partition (permanently)
NOTE: the trackball doesn't select, use green key instead
install-db ALL your data will be lost, so you better have a backup!
install dualboot environment on htc hero
this includes partitioning of the sdcard
place roms in folders rom1 and rom2 first!
romX wipedata wipe data/factory reset romX
romX wipedalvik wipe dalvik-cache for romX
for the following options place update.zip file in folder romX first!
romX flash flashes update.zip from folder romX
romX makeboot create boot.img-update.zip files for romX
romX makeboot push create boot.img-update.zip files for romX and push it to /sdcard
i don't see any potential to brick your phone, even if it fails, as the critical parts (spl, radio) are not touched at all. worst that could happen is that you have to do a full wipe and flash a rom... be careful while flashing recovery and/or bootloader though!
as always: use at own risk!
note: first (and maybe second) boot maybe painfully slow. after that it gets better, see for yourself if it is too slow for you. i have been using villainrom and slidevillain in a dualboot for a few days now, i haven't noticed too much slowdown. then again i don't care too much about this.

installation & usage instructions
please read the first post before you install dualboot!
instructions for windows:
instructions for windows said:
the dualboot install can now set up all necessary stuff in a fresh installed ubuntu virtual machine in virtualbox. you must have adb access to your hero from the windows command line, if you need help check theunlockr.com for their awesome video tutorials.
here is a great howto install virtual box in windows: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/virtualbox
and this is the second part, howto install ubuntu in a virtual machine: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing
once you are done installing ubuntu download the archive from the first post and follow these steps (the default download directory is "Downloads", so i'm gonna use that in this example):
- go to "Downloads", you find it in "Places" in the upper menu bar
- rightclick the zipfile you just downloaded and select "Extract Here"
- open a terminal window: goto Applications, Accessoires, Terminal
- execute these commands:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/dualizer/
chmod +x dualizer
./dualizer setup
it will ask for your password once, then do some stuff and finally reboot the virtual machine.
once rebooted, connect your hero to your pc, rightclick on the usb sign in the lower right corner of the virtual machine window and select the "HTC Android Phone". some hardware installations from windows might pop up (happened to me), just click on next and let them do their stuff. if it doesn't work at first shut down ubuntu, then restart your pc and continue. "reboot tut gut", as the german likes to say
back to ubuntu, with your hero connected to pc and virtualbox, open a terminal and check if your hero is detected by adb with the following commands:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/dualizer/
./dualizer check-dev
this will tell you if your device is properly connected. you can now continue with the options you can get from
Code:
./dualizer help

instructions for linux said:
you need java, perl and zip setup, make sure that these are available. then follow these steps:
- extract the attached zipfile from the first post on your pc (for this example i'll assume you extracted it on your desktop).
- get the two roms you want to dualboot, do not extract them.
- put one rom in the rom1 folder, the other rom in the rom2 folder inside the dualizer folder on your desktop.
- open a terminal, cd to the folder and make the main file executable by typing:
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/dualizer
chmod +x dualizer
- turn on your hero (recovery or normal, doesn't matter)
- connect your hero to your pc and check if your hero is detected by adb with the following commands:
Code:
./dualizer check-dev
this will tell you if your device is properly connected. you can now continue with the options you can get from

Holy... this is incredible. Great job on getting this out.
I use a virtual box and ubuntu 10.04 lts.The method seems to work but in step 3 on partition card my hero restarts and boots in recovery and i don't have time to mount the usb/htc device into virtual box so i get in step 5 an no device found error.The time is very short.I have to press USB-MS toggle on my hero and after that i have to mount it in virtual box.I've tried it over 20 times but i don't have time and in terminal get me the error.Is there a way to pause the process or a solution to my problem?
Sorry for my bad english
EDIT:SOLVED.Set the sleep from dualizer in step3 from 15 to 30.Wainting for setup to finish.Cross my fingers
EDIT2: Ok now this is getting awkward.Waiting on step 4 (push to sd) for 25 minutes now.I have checked the log.Last line says mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory.Should I wait for it any longer?Or what should I do now?
As I have said on the VillainROM forum; this is really outstanding work.
Well done, Kendon.

that shouldn't happen, and the pushing shouldn't take longer than a few minutes. you should cancel it by pressing ctrl-c, if you fancy debugging then check why it wouldn't mount. otherwise you can partition your sdcard, do a full wipe and should be able to flash a regular rom.
i guess i underestimated the complexity of the virtual machine solution, gotta look deeper into this... *sigh*
Hi, regarding the Apps2SD issue... Would it ever be possible for the two ROMs that are dual booting to have the same apps sourced from one place... if that makes any sense...
Like in windows... you can "install for all users" so if you log off and someone else logs in with there account the very same apps are there...
Ok bad analogy since we are talking about dual booting different versions like (Vista & Windows 7) ... but the same data on hdd is accessible...
is this possible with the dual booting scenario?
If I had Slide Villain and Villain 5.5 .. both being 2.1 ROMs which would make app compatibility a non-issue...
If I booted up Villain 5.5 and made changes to an app / save data .. could this not be accessible with the slide rom.. I would hate having to install the very same apps on another partition..worst of all if you have save data (such as a game) and wanted to play it on one of the ROMs your game progress would be different?
you could just use Titanium to transfer over the data but agaqin it is a long procedure.
It would be fantastic if we could mirror image exactly what we have on our main Roms to our "secondary roms" ...
Amazing !
Ciao
Fred
Yeah this is really amazing. I have read this on villainRom forum, and i was stupified .
But, if i want to flash another Rom as primary and need to wipe cache, i need to do this process again! Am i right?
for the shared apps:
a shared apps2sd directoy/partition is possible, although you'd have the problem that apps are installed to one market only, and idk what would happen when you update an app in one rom, would the update get market-linked in the other? you can solve this with titanium backup, but it isn't really comfortable at all. i'll think about this.
for shared data: in theory possible as well, but i don't think it would work out well. you cannot distinguish between system data and apps data that easily, and i don't think it would work to share system data (sense settings etc) between two different roms...
@masterxiter: easiest way to do this is to use the installer script again. you can wipe the cache manually, installing another rom would be really complicated (about as complicated as the installer script )...
Sweet. But is there any way i can run this in cygwin? every version of linux ive tried so far doesnt support my crap compaq wifi card or most things, or even wired for that matter, and running ubuntu in a virtual machine gives a reboot every time after step 1 (maybe cos i suck at terminal)
i'll try some time, but i have never used cygwin... so don't expect anything too soon.

if you install ubuntu in an virtual machine like VMware(paid) or virtualbox(free) you can just use linux, it will automatically grab all your internet settings and stuff from the windows installation(main computer) so your windows will be like some kind of router for your virtual machine with everyhing working.
Very nice tutorial, i'm not going to try it.. because my phone has to be resend to HTC for fixing some dead pixels, there just messers with screens
BTW. you can also try another linux version sounds crazy, maybe try backtrack?? the only thing you need is linux, backtrack is..
I have backtrack 4 (I could never get wifi on that either, but tbh i couldnt work out how to try (that distro is soo confusing imo). I got backtrack 3 to work a while back, so if i can find the disk im gnna try that.
Also virtualbox didnt put my internet settings at all (maybe co im on win7 ultimate?)
Thanks for the suggestions, cos i know cygwin aint the most elegant solution
changing rom 1 and rom 2
i test lotz of roms.... everyday they are being updated...
say if i dualize with ahero0.8 and Kimera 1.7....
wud i be able to update aHero to 0.9 and leave kimera as it is???
simply can i update JUST ONE rom???
manual setup??
i tried it got error in step 3 and then 'Device not found errors...'

hihi.. i am trying to do a dual boot, so im wondering what u mean by.. need java , perl and zip setup... can advice me?
He means that you need to have Java, perl and zip installed and configured on your Linux system. If you dont have that installed and configured correctly than the install script wont be able to run.

I've noticed a few posters on here are from N.Ireland and was wondering if any of you would root my phone? For a fee of course?
I'm a complete noob at this, I've spent the last four days reading guides and I just can't get it to work. Can get the tinycore linux working on my macbook but can never get past entering this in the terminal:
sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/desire After I press return here I get an error.
So I've now thrown in the towel and was hoping a local Android geek could help me out lol
Cheers
Joe
Are you using the TinyCore Live-CD from the MoDaCo guide or the r4 one posted by craigcrawford? the latter had an edited TinyCore build made which was slightly different to the normal one originally posted...
Have a read of this guide, by craigcrawford, never fails to work (so long as you download the right Live-CD - check your HBOOT and download accordingly):
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...sire-easy-rooting-guide-with-tiny-core-linux/
Thanks for the reply, yeah thats the one I'm using. Could it be my tinycore setup? I can't get it to boot from CD so setup a virtual machine on my macbook and ran tinycore through that.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I'm a complete noob at all this
Not being an Apple man I don't know if you can boot a Live-CD using a Mac but shouldn't see why not!
Also don't see why a VM wouldn't work but again I've always used a PC and it boots fine so might wanna see if you can borrow a Windows laptop and use that (or, if you're ever in Liverpool, come see me and I'll do it)
Ok going to try it again, I had already installed Linux VM before I downloaded the r4 and didn't know there was Tinycore ISO included with it.
So I've setup a new VM with the ISO from craigcrawford and I'm going to try it one last time. Just want to check something before I start, my phone is unbranded so I'm not using a goldcard do I need to put the rootedupdate.zip on the SD card before i start?

Correct, no Goldcard required. Should take about 10 mins all in (did for me on a W7 x4 Ultimate-based machine). Good luck!!
Cheers Eddy, here goes! I'll post how it goes!
Ok getting a bit further into it. Says rebooting into bootloader... FAILED
but then says Step 1 complete and gives instructions on how to continue.
I'm confused
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Forgot to add, my phone didn't do reboot nor did the screen change at all
Yeah thats not working correctly...something's not right, be it running through a VM or otherwise...
I'd say it might be worth asking advice on (or taking a look at) the rooting guide on MoDaCo as more people there can help (and it works from within a Mac natively)
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...e-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/
Ok Eddy thanks for your help mate.
Going to phone round a few repair shops in belfast and see if they can do it! It's really started to p*ss me off now!
Would they want to do it, though? I doubt they'd want to potentially brick your phone and have to buy you a new one
What HBOOT are you running on btw?
Well I know of one shop that jailbroke a friends iphone so I'm going to try them to see if they'll give it a go!
I'm running HBOOT 0.80
Right, here's a little guide for a Mac:
- First, download THIS and extract it on to the Mac equivalent of the Desktop
- Copy the 'update.zip' to your SD card - do NOT rename it
- Now open a Terminal window (go to Applications>Utilities, double click 'Terminal' icon) and change directory to the extracted folder. Turn your phone on holding down the back button and you should be in the FASTBOOT screen. Plug your phone into the Mac and it should then read FASTBOOT USB
- In the terminal window type './step1-mac.sh' (without ') and when it finishes it will take you back to the FASTBOOT screen. Press the power button and it will change from FASTBOOT to HBOOT USB
- Select 'Recovery' and when at the screen with the red ! hold vol up and press the power key.
- Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and once complete select 'apply:update.zip' and once this is done reboot the device and you should be rooted
"Now open a Terminal window and cd to the extracted folder"
Eddy I haven't a clue how to open a terminal window and cd to the extracted folder, thats why I was trying the Tinycore guide.
Sorry for being such a noob
*Updated guide above
Don't know what else to put as I'm a Windows man, never used a Mac
Ok think I understand that. Just waiting on the r6 to finish downloading then I'm going to have another crack at it!
Thanks for putting that together Eddy, much appreciated.
Joe, if you are still stuck I should be able to help you out tomorrow free of charge. I think your bootloader is the same version as mine (can't remember off hand) so I still have the files on my netbook to do it, or at least should have.
Still can't get it to work.
Kerso, I'll take you up on that mate, Where abouts are you?
Eddy, thanks very much for your help mate
I am a Mac user but rooting is loads easier on a Windows machine, had mine rooted in no time using a XP based PC.
To open a Terminal window, just click on the magnifying glass search icon type in Terminal and it will appear in the list of matches, just double click it.
CD = change directory in the terminal, that's all. ie CD to the directory where you downloaded the folder it to.
Trouble I had was that OSX was unzipping the downloaded file on completion, I'm not sure how to stop it doing that.
Thanks to JT1134 I was able to get the recovery compiled and gave that to Noobnl so he place that into his Hijack super script. SO, dont forget to thank JT1134 for that! Also thank codeworkx for his repo since that was used!

I thought this script was pretty cool when noobnl told me about it...
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INTEL MAC & LINUX:
Note: Mac and Linux users may be prompted to enter administrative password, as adb server requires sudo permissions to start.
No drivers required.
Extract the zip file.
Put the run.sh inside the directory you just extracted.
Open Terminal. Use the cd command to get to the directory. If you extracted inside the Downloads folder, it would be easy in Terminal as so:
Code:
cd ~/Downloads/epic.aio.v2.01
Now give permissions and run it:
Code:
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh

Sweet, grabbing now.

It works, but its pretty rough. The screen flickers, and sometimes the navigation is kinda iffy. But backup/restore works and you can flash .zips.. and that's whats important. This should get polished in the next week or so
How did you guys get it to work? Whenever I run that run.bat, it gives me a massive list of "ping is not a recongized command" and "Tab is not a recognized command" and finally ends up doing nothing
I moved the extracted directory to the root of my drive, and it actually made a bit of a difference, as the batch file went a bit further. But still, it ended up doing nothing...
Any ideas?

I have not loaded this myself. I do not have windows machine. Go to the Irc channel to get some more help or ask Noobnl or other thread. He said to run the run.bat I think it needs to be where you have sdk or adb?

If you don't know how to run a batch file in Windows, then you might want to consider switching to a Mac
Noobnl has packaged this into a one-click method... you just extract the folder into your /android-sdk-windows/tools folder and double click run.bat while your phone is connected to USB with USB debugging enabled.
If you still can't figure it out, then you should just give up pal

Can some post a clean nandroid backup?
Thank you for your efforts!
I am a noob in flashing or compiling custom roms though (locked bootloader on my only other android device, the Motorola Milestone).
I have read that this allows us to inject a nandroid backup into the rom, but would like to know more. What are the benefits of this recovery? What can it be used for? Can i for example flash a stock android build onto my Tab?
Thanks in advance for some helpful, non flamer answers...
My other thread got screwed up. So, I just thought it would be easier to re-write it all over.
Some warnings:
-This is not a FULL unlock (S-OFF or to unlock your SIM card slot.)
-This WILL VOID your warranty.
-This will work with ANY version of HBOOT. Unless something has changed and I never update.........
-This is a how to for WINDOWS ONLY. Sorry Mac, Linux, and Unix. If someone knows how to do it VIA those ways, I'll add it in here.
-If you are logged out of HTC Dev at any time during the identifier period (1 - 5), just sign back in and don't click anything. It will automatically redirect you to the last page you were on.
-I am not responsible if you didn't follow a step correctly and your phone lights on fire, cracks into two, wants to destroy you, etc...
If you like to learn visually (like me) and would rather not go through my jumble of steps, check out this YouTube video. [link]
What you are going to need:
-A computer
-Fastboot and ADB [API] - [link] <-- These are applications I use to flash ROM's. They are in a .zip from me.
-HTC Drivers - [link] <-- Drivers HTC gives, couldn't find them on HTC's site.
-Android SDK - [link]
-microUSB cable, phone, and some time
STEPS TO ROOT: finally...
1.) You are going to want to head over to the HTC Dev[eloper] site ([link]) and make an account or sign in. Once you have done one of the two, you are going to want to click 'Unlock Bootloader,' then 'Get Started.' It will next ask you what device you are trying to unlock, click 'Droid Incredible 2 (Verizon)' then 'Begin Unlock Bootloader.' Then a pop up window will ask you if you are sure, just click 'Yes.' Then, another pop up window will appear, just tick the two boxes and press 'Proceed to Unlock Instructions.'
2.) Go to your phone. Take off the [back] battery door and remove the battery (don't hold the power button and make it a proper shut off, just rip the battery out. Then, put the battery back in. Once you have replaced the battery, hold the volume down button and the power button at the same time until a white screen shows up. You can use the volume rocker to highlight your selection, and the power button to select the highlighted selection. Right now, we want to highlight 'BOOTLOADER' and use the power button to select it. Next, grab your miniUSB cable and plug it into your computer to your phone.
3.) Next, make a folder on your computer in the C:\ Drive. In Windows Vista & 7, you can just go to Computer from the Start Menu and it will be labeled Local Disk (C:\). You can name the folder whatever you want, I am just going to name it Android. Next, you are going to want to download my ADB, Fastboot, and ADBAPI .zip file and place all three files into the Android folder. After you unzip the ADB/Fastboot folder, you are going to want to (if you have not already) download and install the Android SDK manager. You will need to install SDK tools [and I believe a version of Android?] After you have installed everything, you can go to the Start Menu again and type in 'cmd' in the search bar and press enter. Then type in the following: (Or you could take the easy way of going to your C:\ drive and shift-clicking the folder and press 'Open Command Window Here...)
Code:
cd C:\Android
4.) After you have got into Command Prompt and are in the \Android folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
You will then see a great big brick of random characters. Right click in the bottom right-hand corner of '<<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>' and click 'Mark...' Hold down the left-mouse-button and select the great brick of text up until '<<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>' (don't highlight any of the 'INFO' things.) Then, right-click again and you will have the identifier token copied to your clipboard. Back on the HTC Dev site, it will ask you for your identifier; just paste the identifier in the box and it will send you an email with a .bin file (Unlock_code.bin) and just throw that into the folder with ADB and Fastboot.
5.) You are going to want to click the continue link that HTC Dev sent you as well to downloading the file. After you have finished downloading and put it in the folder, type in the following:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Once you have done that and pressed Enter, your phone will change screens. It will ask you if you are SURE you want to do this. Just press the volume rocker up and press the power button. Your phone will reboot and take you back to Android. It's normal and it doesn't mean it failed... Your phone is fine and it should have went OK if you followed the steps. We are done with HTC Dev now, so you can close it.
6.) Next thing we are going to want to do is flash ClockWorkMod (CWM) Recovery onto your phone. You are going to want to download the .iso for CWMR and flash it to your phone (download link [link].) After you are done downloading the .iso, place it into your ADB and Fastboot folder. Once your phone has finished starting up, take the battery out again and put it back into HBOOT mode (step 2.) You are going to want to go back into FASTBOOT (step 2, again) and flash the recovery by doing the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery(press TAB)
Once you press enter and fastboot says it has completed, it will just have the Fastboot screen. Just highlight 'Bootloader' and press the power button. Next, to make sure it worked... Scroll down to 'Recovery' (which is right under Fastboot) and select it. The HTC screen should show and then CWMR should come to life.
7.) This is where the real magic happens. We are going to install SuperUser on to your phone now. Reboot your phone into regular Android. Now, you can plug it into the computer and make it a disk drive or pop out the miniSD card and put it into a converter. Now, you are going to want to download SuperUser ([link] - make sure your scroll down to the .zip dowload) and put it onto the miniSD (I recommend not putting it in any folders so it is easy to find.) Now, put your phone back into CWMR (step 6.) Now, use the volume rocker to scroll down to 'install .zip from sd card' and press the power button. Now, find the SuperUser.zip (or whatever it is named) and press the power button. The 'yes' to install it is in the middle of all the 'no' options, use the volume rocker to select 'yes' and press the power button. Wait for CWMR to finish, and in the meantime... Just stare at your phone. After you have finished installing SuperUser, restart your handset into Android. Once it has finished restarting, go into the app drawer and find the SuperUser app. Press the 'menu' button and tap 'Settings.' Scroll down to 'Su Binary x.x.xx' and tap it. On the bottom it will say 'Update Binary,' just tap that and it will do its 'magic.' Once SU has finished updating Binary, you have a rooted DINC2.

Updated post. Finished the guide. Hope you guys enjoy.
thanks for your guide - I'm needing to get something fresh on my wife's DI2...and I'm not as savvy with the HTCs as I am with my GNex.
The problem I have initially run into is the JDK - I have it installed....but whenever I try to install the Android SDK, the installer tells me that it does not recognize an installed JDK...
Also, I did notice that your Fastbook & ADB link is not active - is it obsolete now?
Thanks again, hopefully I can get this puppy running smoothly soon

Android SDK includes fastboot and adb, so it isn't necessary. Are you sure you have the JDK installed? What version? I know OpenJDK was giving me trouble so I had to switch to the official JDK.

Yep, just tried to reinstall 7u7 from the oracle site....no dice with SDK. Weird. I'll try with another PC to see if my laptop just licks
I added the ADB and Fastboot link, I thought it was already added... So, that is my fault. And like prototype said, Android SDK also includes ADB and Fastboot. Hope the best to your wife and the phone.

This isn't for a SIM CARD tray unlock. It's just to root you phone and get ROMS and SU apps on it. Look around for a SIM unlock.

In my download folder this shows up as an image file, is this right?
Does this mean that C: Android folder I created in the beginning of the guide? If not, where am I supposed to place it?
Does flashing it to my phone mean simply copy/pasting this cwm image file into the adb and fastboot folder?
Sorry guys I've been lurking for weeks. Successfully rooted my galaxy nexus and that was a breeze compared to this!

1.) Yes, an .iso file is a disk image.
2.) I personally like to place it in the C:\ Drive, but people put it where ever they want to.
3.) Yes, just put that in the folder with Fastboot and ADB[API.]

It shouldn't have to install. You have to use Fastboot VIA Command Prompt.

English equivalent: "fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
That's happening since you're still in the Administrator's directory - C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\.
You need to use the "cd" command to change to the directory where you downloaded fastboot. Then you'll be able to use that command.

This is an installation mode that I use - This method I took from the Moto g2 Titan telegram group: https://t.me/TitanRoms
I did it from a debian-based distribution
(1) Download these two files:
click-ubuntu-policy_0.1_all.deb
drive.google.com
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LHqKyr_pOFiRz9IhXHiyQkru0y7rrTSl/view?usp=sharing
(2) open the terminal and go to where I download the files, and install them with the following commands.
sudo apt install debsig-verify kpartx
sudo dpkg -i click-ubuntu-policy_0.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i ubuntu-device-flash_0.34-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
(3) Put your moto g2 in bootloader mode (power button + volume down) and connect it to the PC
(4)Put this command in the terminal and press enter, wait for the whole process to finish.
ubuntu-device-flash --verbose --server=https://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=titan --channel=16.04/community/walid/devel --bootstrap
If everything goes well, in a few minutes you will be using UBtouch on your moto g2 titan.

Hi, I'm new here and if i am honest joined just to ask questions here. I have tried what you said (many thanks as I wasn't sure what to do after finding the link for the rootfs tarball was dead), it is the same command Walidham stated for installing 16.04 but that didn't come with the commands for installing the flashing tools for this method and I probably wouldn't have noticed that command anyway in the original post as I was mostly paying attention to the original instructions for 15.10. Anyway, I tried this method and it all seemed to be going fine but every time when it gets to a certain point it says on the phone that there is insufficient space for pushing one of the files. I am actually using a Moto G2 4G LTE Thea, not Titan so it may not work but I thought I'd try it anyway and I don't know that this error is to do with that as it is to do with running out of internal storage, though I know sometimes error are diagnosed as totally different errors so that might be happening, I don't know.
Mine is 8GB but there is nothing smaller than that. I have changed the data partition format to ext4 by the way and I have tried running this with and without wiping system, data and cache partitions beforehand. The flashing process only gets anywhere when they are present and not wiped, otherwise it complains that it cannot boot recovery. I also noticed that the folder that seems to be referenced by the command has new files even from today (the 25th that is) and when I ran the command it was trying to flash version 779. When you did it it would have been an older version as the files relating to 779 seem to be brand new. I also assume these files are probably experimental. So I don't know if this is a non-working combination, or if I am doing something wrong, or if there is a way to change which version it is trying to flash, or if I can get a rootfs file that will work (I don't know anything about them or what exactly they do) and do it manually. I am also not a developer and am low on technical knowledge (as much as it hurts my ego to say it) if I am honest and I am using Linux mint 20.1 on the PC side of things, which of course is Ubuntu/Debian based so I imagine shouldn't be a problem here.
Thanks for the guide, thanks Walidham for the port, and if you know anything about my error or something else to try I'd appreciate it if you got back to me. Thanks!

About that insufficient space error you had, I think I also had a similar problem, but I'm not sure. It would be nice if you put images or prints of these errors, or give more details.
The insufficient space error that occurred to me actually wasn't in the cell phone as I thought, but in the Linux cache. I manually cleared the linux cache, and the error disappeared.

I wasn't sure at first whether it was meant to be left alone when it brought up the ubports recovery screen but eventuslly concluded it was. I'm busy this weekend but I will try and get some screenshots of my error when I can. I had settled back into using Android for the time being. I'll try what you said you did as well when I get the time. Thanks!
Update: It works!
I actually succeeded in installing the system on the 7th of this month, but I just said it now.
The system has several bugs. The bluetooth, the flashlight and the GPS doesn't work, for some reason the cell phone restarts when I connect to the wifi at home (which doesn't happen when I connect to my main cellphone's wifi in router mode), the notifications and settings bar seems to be cropped, and whenever I turn on the screen the option to turn off or restart the phone appears.
Anyway, I really liked the system, and I would like to contribute to it by solving or notifying the presence of these bugs in the software.
And thanks for the help.

Upon finally trying again, this is the error that I was getting. This occurs whilst the phone has booted to the ubports recovery menu but obviously files are still being pushed.

Hi, I did not succeed, no. Mine gets to the stage of displaying that screen but I'm not sure if yours gets further or not as far. Mine seems to make a big deal about copying this one file and ultimately always fails. Yours seems to say it boots to recovery and then stops, though I find it difficult to read what it says on your screenshot because it is low resolution.
Did you succeed in the end by any chance since you last posted?
is there a way to install Ubuntu touch manually? Like using twrp for example.
For anyone having problem installing this is How i did it.
First You Need to do the installation as ROOT.
I use Ubuntu.
Open a terminal and type
sudo su passwd root
Then Go ahead and set a password for root, after that type
su root
And put the password you Just created, Now you proceed with installing ubtouch by using SUDO, like this
sudo ubuntu-device-flash --verbose --server=https://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=titan --channel=16.04/community/walid/devel --bootstrap
Hopefully after this there Will be no problem. (PS: i dont speak english)
