I have been trying for months to get Ubuntu to install on my phone. I have tried a different combo of ROMs and Kernels but just can't seem to get it running. I have The Complete Linux installer from the store and Debian Kit as well, but still can't get it going. Any help would be great.

I had Ubuntu running on my phone fine for a long time there's a version with a script that will work on your phone, I just took it to the command line I never could get the GUI to work, I had the file on my SD card and the web page bookmarked, but I cannot find them, search the web, there is a working copy out there, hope it helps, and if I find the link I'll edit this post

Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585009
I tried it a few months ago and it worked but ran a little slowly.
I used the link above and it runs like a charm, I installed debian with no problems

Hope you've got Linux of some sort set up by now, but, if not you can check out the guide I've compiled for Debain kit. Had problems of my own for a time until I started taking notes, now everything works and is easy to follow.

Didn't see this posted, yet, so...
Official Honeycomb 3.2 kernel source code for the Acer Iconia A100 can be downloaded from Acer's support site, here:
Direct Download Link.
Let the fun begin.
If the bootloader was unlocked and this included the nvidia link to thier drivers it would be great. I could compile a custom kernel and flash with OC / UV settings, even with the locked bootloader I could possibly still find a way to copy the kenel image over via adb. But in it's current state its completely useless and even if I did manage to hack in the nvidia bits it wouldn't run correctly without the acer specifics (its a generic honeycomb kernel). ICS will be out soon and hopefully someone cracks that darn bootloader.

Indeed, but it is only a matter of time before we have the bootloader unlocked, right. I don't thing anyone is really planning on doing too much until ICS is released for this. My tab just arrived today, so I have not yet poked too far into the system myself, yet...
Figure it is good to have the link to the source downloads, for future reference.

crossix, If you are looking for a something that would help this tablet out, I have something... on the xoom there is an option to use PAN over bluetooth under a paired device. I have looked for how to enable that menu idem but I have not been able to find it. I would guess that it will be reused in ICS.
Here is a link. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/01/how-to-bluetooth-tether-to-motorola-xoom-using-original-droid/

Make a thread and I'll post what I have done so far. It is not much but I may be able to help.
First of all I'm sorry if ever I'm on the wrong section. This will be kinda of a long one, but please do hear me out. So, here it goes.
I've recently read a topic about dual-booting (arc&play supported) by DoomLord. So, upon reading it with the utmost interest its like I've been given a little hope with my play. Shortafter I accidentaly passed by one of DoomLord's thread about(donating for continued development for the play.) I missed the chance to donate because the posts were like back on the month of October. But, if I've read that post earlier? I would really have donated for the project. I can't pm DoomLord about this because he ignores generic pm's. So.. here I am, very desperate, so I've started this thread.
I know and I've read a lot of thread about this kernel thing, for now we can only flash kernel through fastboot. And yeah that's my problem I can't fastboot/flash or use flashtool anymore.(I know It's not just me, but there are some other play users out there too who got a problem like mine.) And now DoomLord is back? I know this is too much work but He's back with an xperia play he can do more awesome stuffs than before! So it hit me, will he do/try a kernel changer thing without using the fastboot method? So, basically he's my only hope.( I think for now.)
Oh yeah, why I can't fastboot/flash mode?
My phone was like outdated for 4 months now leaving my kernel to the old fxp 126-128 kernel I think. Because my play's micro-usb port was like half-dead now(didn't know what caused it, but it can charge on wall electricity but is not recognized by computers/laptop even with different usb ports/cable, reinstalled drivers, re-flash rom, no- nothing. Luckily I'm stuck on a kernel with CWM(i can still flash .zip files though.) I can still make my phone go in a flash mode(green light) and fastboot mode(blue light) It will be on those mode but computer wont recognize neither flashtool(in flashtool phone status disconnected.)

I rooted the stock OS with SPH-D710_FL24_CL1173404_REV2_Rooted_Nodata.exe and everything worked fine. Then I installed MobileODINLite-v3.85.apk and did the SXTP_Agat_FL24-v0.4.0.tar flash, and upon reboot, the OS loaded up fine, but after a minute the OS would lock up and the phone would then reboot on it's own, and it just keeps doing that no matter what. I've already tried going back into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik, no change. What should I do?
BTW, I'm a noob to smartphones, the reason I was doing all this is because I can't transfer any files to the internal USBStorage folder either by KiesAir or by physical connection to the pc, I just get a transfer failed error. I was trying to make a recovery so I could load a custom ROM (dirty unicorns) in hopes that this would fix the problem. Also I don't think taking this phone to Boost for a replacement is an option, since I bought this phone used from the previous owner. HELP! =(
Look guys, I'm not someone who is too lazy to use google. A week ago I didn't even know how to use this device. I've tried looking around but I'm gonna need someone to point me in the right direction, so seriously? 33 views and nobody can at least do that to help me?

What I would do is download the GB27 Rooted Odin here-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
And update to JB and maybe that might fix some of your problems. You can get into Download Mode by pulling the battery and replacing it and holding Power+Vol Down.

Good, at least you're up and running
I recently got a Epic 4G Touch from a friend who was upgrading. After messing around with it, I decided to try get CyanogenMod running on it. To make a long story short, I can no longer get the phone to boot, but I do have access to the AGAT custom recovery. I know I could use OdinExecution, but the phone is no longer recognized by Windows when plugging in USB - probably after flashing the kernel.
My question is what should I do from here? The only other way to get data onto the phone would be microSD, unless I can get USB working (I doubt). I was pretty foolish to go into this without more reading, and for that I apologize.

If you can get into recovery, I would try going here and flashing one of the zips found there.

If by chance you can get into download mode and if the links are not working you can always use this

Thanks for the reply,
I managed to get a custom ROM installed, so at least I'm able to use the phone. Now I need to figure out how to get USB working again. I took a snapshot of the device screen:

Is there perhaps a compatible kernel I can try?
OK guys here a surprise for you
I just compile a clockwork mod recovery from Ubuntu Touch source code based on Phablet-10.1 (CM-10.1) so i think we have a good probability after I port this recovery to make Ubuntu Touch more compatibility after this one i will start to build the rom now and test it if work or not.
P.S. : the recovery is not working good i think used to deploy the zip automatically over adb so i will not upload it fow now.

OK i try it with a rom that i compiled a few weeks ago, after deploying to sdcard and installation start automatically once rebooted to recovery but still won't boot.
In the second test i will edit the device tree and making system partition mounted automatically and see if work or not
The little phone that could. Good job!!!
Via the Internet
New Test
OK guys i am compiling a rom using phablet-4.4.2 with modifications of device tree such as no prebuilt, no power, no selinux, no camerahal to get compiled without errors so if anyone can told me commits of cm11 for that errors i will insert him to thanked person if got booted .
Hmmm, nice work bro.. why dont you post your errors and progress here?, maybe someone can help you.

I know bro the only problem is Canonical because they switch back from AOSP to Cyanogen Mod source again so if we want to work on Ubuntu Touch we must decide on which version should be ported Trusy or Saucy?
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Building
And also they still updating the porting guide since released the full version so i think we should wait
