TUTORIALS, MODS, ADD-ONS
BETA 1 INSTALLATION TUTORIAL By Me, l3ong91, XDA
1. Backup the files on your microSD first.
2. Go to Start>Settings>Memory Settings>Storage Card and click Format.
3. Download any one of the files provided on http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php file section.(you can download either 512 partition image or 1GB partition image)

5. Open "o2Beta" Folder and run haret.exe
6. Wait for it to load and until it say something like reboot, the device will auto reboot so just leave it there.
7. It will boot up Windows Mobile again.
8. Then go to My Storage and click on haret.exe
9. This time it will boot again and after awhile you will see Android logo on the bootscreen.
10. After the Android 2.1 was booted, hold on the "Lock" button for 3-4 sec and
turn off the device. (It will boot up Windows Mobile again, or sometimes you will have to do it manually to turn on the device)
10. Now download and copy http://rapidshare.com/#!download|482l33|443140910|o2bupdate.tar.gz|1480 and http://87.229.73.80/zImage file to root of My Storage and overwrite it.
11. Then run the haret.exe from My Storage (not inside o2Beta folder).
12. This time it will bootup faster than the first time.
13. Yes...Android's dream come true on Omnia i8000
BETA 2 INSTALLATION TUTORIAL By Kapica, MoDaCo
1. Clean SD card of beta1
a) Clean format with SD Formatter, or
Use EASEUS Partition Master and format the EXT2 partition on SD card
2. Rename o2b2filesys.tar.gz to ext2.tar.gz
3. Copy ext2.tar.gz and new zImage to My Storage and overwrite
4. Go to O2Beta directory and run haret.exe
And thats it, u get beta2 installed, rest as usual...
To add 2D/3D rename tar.gz to o2b2update as devs said...
If you experience reboots I think its to lack od 2d/3d, open the 2d/3d o2update.tar.gz and copy system directory into ext2.tar with Total Commander, save archive, copy to My Storage, and try to install now.
BETA 2 INSTALLATION TUTORIAL (EASY ALTERNATIVE) By Me, l3ong91, XDA
1. Download the latest installation package as of 11/2/2011
2. Format SD Card again using Samsung Settings>Format.
3. Delete all the Beta 1 Folder and Beta 1 files in My Storage.(if you have previously installed Beta 1 on your phone)
4. Extract and copy all the files in Beta2 installation package to My Storage.
5. Download one of the 2D/3D driver links below and rename as o2b2update.tar.gz
6. Put it in My Storage.
7. As usual, run haret.exe from o2Beta folder.
8.Then after reboot, run haret.exe from root of My Storage.
2D/3D DRIVER DOWNLOADS

ADB INSTALLATION AND TUTORIAL By Rapid81, MoDaCo
1. First af all, you need to set the ports under Android.
To do that, write this to the phone: *#7284#
Then you need to select the followings:
UART -> Modem
USB -> PDA
After this, go to the Settings\Applications\Development and check the USB Debugging if it not checked already.
2. Download the Android SDK from here. Install (if you downloaded the installer) or unzip to a location where you'll easly found it. For example C:\android-sdk-windows.
3. Download Samsung KIES. Install it. It contains 2 of the 3 necessary drivers.
4. Download the SamsungADB.zip and unzip it somewhere, where you'll easly found it.
5. If the Android did not went to sleep after it started, then unplug from USB (if it plugged) and put to sleep with the Hangup button. After that, plug onto the USB. The Windows will install 2 of the 3 drivers automatically. The 3rd one will not be found. This will be the ADB driver. Go to the Device Manager and browse the driver (not just add the path to the search root, you need to select the driver yourself!!!) what you extracted from the SamsungADB.zip. Choose one of the followings:
Samsung Android Composite ADB Interface or ADB testing interface and install it.
If the Windows ask for a confirmation to install a not trusted driver, then say yes.
6. Press Windows+R and type into "cmd".
In the upcoming windows, navigate to the unzipped or installed Android SDK directory with the following command:
For example: "cd c:\android-sdk-windows"
In there, navigate to the "platform-tools" directory with this command:
"cd platform-tools"
7. This is where the party started.
Commands you can use:
adb devices -> If you see your device here, you did a good job.
adb shell -> console
In the console:
logcat -> List all android events/errors
cat /proc/kmsg -> kernel log
adb push filename folder -> Send file from Windows to android, to the specified folder
adb pull filename -> Receive file from Android to Windows
Backup all installed applications (rooting is necessary):
tar czvf /storage/App_backup.tzg /data/app* -> Backup
tar xzvf /storage/App_backup.tzg -> Restore

LATEST NEWS & UPDATES
18/1/2011
Beta 1 (Minor Fix) Link: http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php
19/1/2011
New Kernel (zImage) Sleep Issue Fixed Link: http://87.229.73.80/zImage
27/1/2011
Battery charge corrected, missing interface for redio signal level, powerstate,etc. was fixed. Put in root of My Storage and overwrite it. http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2droid.zip
30/1/2011
Script included for apps that needs ROOTED Android device: http://o2droid.phj.hu/suupdate.zip
31/1/2011
Working GSM data network. The o2droid.zip file contain the latest kernel,modules, patches and applications from Rapid and Voyteckst su correction.http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2droid.zip
9/2/2011
Sleep problem solved, Alarm function working, battery drain and percentage correction, upgrading from C4 to D1 the 6500 framework, more powerfull dalvik machine (Linpack 5.x) and all the usable corrections published. There are two version, a simple upgrade to the beta: o2bupdate.zip (just unzip to My Storage) and a new filesystem including all changes and rearranged file structure: o2b2filesys.zip (contains the filesystem as tar.gz and the kernel, must unpack and copy manually - no automatic install). The later one is the beta2 (this will be commiting to the SVN); there are some changes in the automatic updates when using the beta2 image to avoid the mistakes : the new automatic filenames are o2b2update.[tar.gz][sh]. Neither version contains the EGL libraries!http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php
10/2/2011
Bugfix: the init dont allowed the GSM network to get DNS, dalvik vm problems. update it with o2b2update.tar.gz ( for beta2, if you use just the corrected beta, please rename it to o2bupdate.tar.gz). There is a strange error: within telephone conversation in approx.30 seconds the LCD blanks but also the sound muted - UNTIL NOT SOLVE, please use the Call Light application from Market!!!
11/2/2011
We have prepared Beta2 SD card installer (1024mb only). It includes latest update (2011-02-10). Download it http://87.229.73.80/beta2_1024.zip (it will wipe Your current installation). As always it doesn't contain 2D/3D libraries from Samsung (if You found them somewhere on the web put it before first boot to My Storage as o2b2update.tar.gz).
Note: There is still error, when within telephone conversation in approx.30 seconds the LCD blanks but also the sound muted - UNTIL NOT SOLVE, please use the Call Light application from Market!!!
3/3/2011
Updated kernel and modules with support for accelerometer, compass and light sensor, keylayout files for new kernel. Download it here . Install as always: replace zImage, put o2b2update.tar.gz, o2b2update.sh to My Storage. It will work on second boot (because old init.rc is executed first).
So now working things are:
Phone
WiFi
GPS
FM Radio
Market
Data connections (GPRS)
Sensors (only proximity sensor not yet)
2D/3D (Samsung not allowed to us to distribute the 2D/3D library binaries, so they are not included in the image).
Things which are working (low level tests), but without android support for now:
Bluetooth
Camera (there are some works to be done)
8/3/2011
To enable the automatic time update from the GSM there is a simple update script. The timeupdate.zip contains both o2update.sh and o2b2update.sh, copy the proper version (in the case of beta2 image: o2b2update.sh) to the root of the My Storage and haret... At first boot just updating the system database to use the telephone network time, so must reboot again to really use this setting and show the correct time.
9/3/2011
There was a rare condition when the SD card appeared sooner than the internal flash at boot - resulting the "No init found" error in kernel. The reason that the sdhci interfaces was not stricly assigned to an mmc device - the first sdhci was the mmc0. This is corrected now, so the s3c-sdhci.1 is the mmc0, .2 is the mmc1 and so on. The corresponding kernel ( svn version 100): zImage
19/3/2011
New kernel and modules (+ keylayout for those who didn't update it yet). Main changes are: fixes for SDHCI/MMC (ported from 2.6.32, external sd is much faster now), new battery profile (now percentage is more like in WM), compass calibration bugfix. Download here: kernel_19032011.zip.

UNOFFICIAL RELEASES
There is an ISO file, which was compiled by Mishatir, a MoDaCo member whom is dev team related, I think. I know this is a bit late....I'm sorry because I am unaware of this unofficial release too until recently read the comment on MoDaCo.
Alright to saves time, this is what it does. This ISO is a all-in-one package where it contains the updates and some modification (camera still not working yet though), but may or may not work with devices other than I8000, because currently I only tried out on my device.
From my experience, this ISO file is really amazing, no sleep of death issue, low battery consumption (dropped from 91% to 80% for 12+ hours) and pre-installed with few apps that you can try out.
Comment by MoDaCo member on the ISO
file
Short guide by Mishatir on ISO
Instructions:
1. Wipe out all Beta 1/2 files on your My Storage and format your SD card under Samsung Settings.
2. Download the ISO file here.
3. Unrar the files.
4. Connect your phone in WM mode and placed the "iso folder" under root of My Storage.
5. Run haret.exe in the ISO folder.
6. Android should bootup.
This ISO has few updates (kernel + modules.tar.gz) by Mishatir, if you want to update them,
- zImage --------> Replace zImage under ISO folder
- modules.tar.gz ----------> Rename to o2b2update.tar.gz and placed them under root of My Storage
To avoid Sleep of death , I use "Call End" key to lock and unlock the phone...Pressing" End key" seems to be easier and more responsive to unlock the screen.
Personally I don't recommend to update because since I update it I faced a few problems which eventually cause the Android not booting up....so try all this update at your own risk.
Anyway, this is a very nice and most stable release. Now I can use Android on my daily basis. For more questions, please leave a comment.

Download beta release here:
http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php
Download 2d/3d drivers and install here (you need these else above beta will freeze every 5 mins):
To install 2d/3d drivers download o2bupdate.tar.gz and place in "My Storage\o2bupdate.tar.gz" , this should stop the phone from freezing every 5 minutes:

http://www.filesonic.com/file/60103983/o2bupdate.tar.gz
To manage ext2 partitions from Windows PC and to correctly format your SD card:
To delete ext2 from Windows PC I use EASEUS Partition Master 6.5.2 Home Edition. It is freeware, and seems to work well. Then to format the micro SD I turn on mass storage in samsung settings, connect to PC and use the SD formatting tool 3.0 from sdcard.org. It uses FAT (not FAT32) and 32kb cluster sizes. I do quick format...

I had similar problems, stuck on the linux part. It said it couldn't mount mmcblk0p5, wich is the SDcard. I solved it by reformating my SDCARD in fat32 and it worked.

ive done step by step on what to do but its stuck on the linux boot screen last line displayed is jumping to heart and it stays there. any help would be awesome. ive installed everything to the my storage section on my phone

First of all: INCREDIBLE WORK!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I've tested and it is working, but unfortunately it is freezing time after time...

... but no difference

is this done using harnet?

yes it uses haret.

bobzero, there's a new updated kernel release by Almar...have you tried that out?

Is there any plan for supporting Omnia Pro (B7610)? Most of components are equally identical.

yes, it's working even better! battery drains slower now.

Currently Almar and his team only focuses on omnia i8000, perhaps there maybe a tiny possibilities that they will release a android for other samsung phone...try checking out forums and google
Below link is maybe useful to B7610 users: http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610...-android-on-b7610-thnks-to-devs/#entry1566239

i noticed some b7610 users on the modaco thread saying that it works, but with some additional glitches... wifi doesnt work, no menu button mapped...
try it out

[Tutorial] install kitchen in linux en use it! tutorial thanks to theunlockr

Heey everyone here the quide for how to set up kitchen in linux virtualbox
Not made by me but made by the amazing guys from the unlockr Thanks!!!
Part 1
[I Before you begin]
1. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, Also other devices!
[II. Download a Virtual Machine and Set It Up.]
1. Download VirtualBox for free from here (the one for Windows Hosts at the top). Then click next on the setup process until it installs.
2. Open VirtualBox and click on New.
3. Name the New Virtual Machine whatever you want (we named it Linux for simplicity’s sake).
4. For Operating System choose Linux, then choose Ubuntu for Version and click next.
5. Click Next again leaving the Memory Setting at what it is preselected at (should be 384mbs).
6. Click Next on the Boot Disk screen as well leaving boot hard disk and create new hard disk both selected.
7. Keep clicking Next until you get to the slider that asks how much space to set for the Linux. Move the slider to 8Gbs and click next.
8. Click next until it is done and shows you the original screen you started on but now with the Linux Machine Powered Off on the left.
[III. Install Linux Ubuntu on the Virtual Machine]
1. Download Ubuntu from here.
2. Once it is downloaded, in the VirtualBox program, click the Start button at the top.
3. Close out all the warnings that come up.
4. Then click on Devices > CD/DVD Devices > More CD/DVD Images… then select the .iso image for Ubuntu you downloaded.
6. Follow the prompts on the screen to install Ubuntu on your Virtual Machine.
7. Once it is installed and reboots, goto Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type this line with hitting enter at the end:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre
It will ask you for a password, type in the password you created when you went through the Ubuntu installation process (it asked you for it before finishing the install).
Then it will ask you y/n. Hit y then enter. Then when it shows you the terms and conditions, hit right arrow on your keyboard and click enter to select ok. Then hit left arrow on your keyboard and enter to select Yes.
*NOTE – Your keyboard and mouse will not function on your regular computer once you use them in the Ubuntu virtual machine. To re-enable them, click the Ctrl button on the right side of your keyboard.
**IF YOU GET AN ERROR INSTALLING THE JAVA FILES,
Download the java files manually FROM INSIDE THE EMULATOR/LINUX using Firefox here:
Java6 Bin
Java6 Jre
Then open the Terminal App in Ubuntu and type this with hitting enter at the end of the line:
sudo dpkg -i sun-java6-jre_6.18-4_all.deb sun-java6-bin_6.18-4_i386.deb
And that should fix it.
[IV. Download and Setup The Android ROM Kitchen]
!THIS NEXT SECTION NEEDS TO BE DONE WITHIN THE UBUNTU VIRTUAL MACHINE!
1. Click on the Firefox logo at the top of your Ubuntu installation (in the Virtual Machine).
2. Type this into the url box:
theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen (to navigate to this page from within the virtual machine).
3. Now download the latest version of the kitchen file  in the first post from the link below(again from inside the Ubuntu installation on the virtual machine. We are doing this because we want to save this file in our Ubuntu Virtual machine, NOT our regular computer).
Kitchen
4. Again on the Ubuntu machine, Find the .zip file you just downloaded, right click it and click open with Archive Manager and then click Extract at the top.
5. Once you click Extract, it will ask you where. Double click the folder that has the name you created when you installed Ubuntu (my username was theunlockr so my folder is called theunlockr. It is the first folder under recently used in the list on the left). Then click Extract at the bottom right.
[V. Run the Android ROM Kitchen]
1. To run the Android ROM kitchen, click on Applications at the top of Ubuntu > Accessories > Terminal then type the following and hit enter:
./menu
2. You will now be greeted by the simple text menu of the application. Enjoy!
VI. Create Your First Custom ROM
=================================================
Part 2
Before You Begin
1. We are assuming you have already setup the Android kitchen. If not, use our How To Setup The Kitchen procedure and then come back to this one when done.
2. We are also assuming you have already done our How To Root and How To Load a Custom ROM for your phone and have a custom recovery image.
2. This ONLY works for HTC Android devices at the moment, Also other devices
3. Open the Kitchen in your Ubuntu Virtual Machine we created in the Kitchen Setup procedure by typing ./menu in the Terminal window in Ubuntu. Leave it open.
4. All of this is done INSIDE THE UBUNTU VIRTUAL MACHINE (that includes when I say “save to your computer” anywhere in here, means save to you Ubuntu Virtual Machine)!
II. Find a ROM to Dissect
There are two kinds of ROMs you can dissect to create your own custom ROM; Stock ROMs and Custom/Cooked ROMs. DsiXDA, creator of the ROM kitchen we are using, has put together a list of places to get stock ROMs for different devices and a quick how to load them into the kitchen:
From a Cooked ROM (Easiest Method):
1. Copy the update.zip (or equivalent ZIP file) to the original_update folder in the kitchen
2. Type the number for the option “Setup Working Folder from ROM” and hit enter in the Kitchen to create your working folder. (So if its number is 1, type 1 then hit enter).
From a Shipped ROM:
1. Find the shipped ROM for your device, usually from htc.com or from searching xda-developers (check the Wiki or sticky posts under your device’s sub-forum).
The links below may help:
2a. If the shipped ROM is in a .ZIP format, then simply extract the system.img and boot.img.
2b. If the shipped ROM is in .EXE format, then do the following:
A. In Windows, run the shipped ROM’s .EXE file till it gets to the first dialog. Stop there but don’t close the window yet.
B. Go to Start->Run and type: %TEMP%
C. When the folder opens, search for Rom.zip. Then, open it with an unzip tool. If you get errors trying to open the ZIP file with WinZip or the default Windows unzip program, then use 7Zip (download from here) to extract it.
D. Extract only two files from Rom.zip: system.img and boot.img
3. Copy the two .IMG files to your kitchen’s img_files folder in your Ubuntu Virtual Machine.
4. In the Terminal window that you opened in Section I, type 1 and hit enter to create a working folder from the two .img files.
Now, that you have either the update.zip in the original_update folder of the kitchen OR the system.img and boot.img of a shipped ROM in the img_files folder of the kitchen, you are ready to play with the ROM to make it your own.
III. Tweaking the Imported ROM Using the Automated Options in the Kitchen
So this is a basic kitchen, but you can do things like, add Root support, add/remove apps from the ROM, enable saving apps to the sd card, enabling Wifi tethering, do some automatic optimizations, and a few other things automatically just by selecting the option and hitting enter. It even allows you to put in your own scripts for the ROM to run (but that’s for more advanced users who know how to create scripts of course).
1. After importing a ROM using section II, select the options you want to do to the ROM (by typing the number of the option you want into the terminal/kitchen window and hitting enter. They are all pretty self explanatory.)
2. Continue this until you have all the automated options you want in the new ROM.
IV. Adding/Removing Applications from the ROM
1. In your Ubuntu Virtual Machine, goto Places at the top. Then click on Home Folder, then the WORKING folder that was created in section II when you dissected the original ROM or img files. Then goto system > app. (Also check Data > App as .apks can be put in there as well).
2. In the app folder you will see all the .apk files for all the applications you have currently in the ROM. Simply delete the ones you do not want to remove them from the ROM.
3. To add applications, simply copy any .apk file for the applications you want to add into the app folder.
V. Repackage the ROM so it can be Flashed onto a Phone
1. Once you have done whatever changes you want, you just need to type 99 and hit enter in the kitchen/terminal for the kitchen to take the working folder you have been messing with and compile it into a flashable update.zip ROM.
2. Once it is done compiling the ROM, we can transfer it to our phone.
VIa. Setup Ubuntu to See Your Phone via USB
1. In the Virtual Box windows with Ubuntu in it, click on Devices at the top then click Install Guest Additions. (It should autostart, if it doesn’t, click on the CD that appeared on the desktop in Ubuntu and then click on Autostart.sh. It will ask you for your password you created when setting up Ubuntu, put that in and let it install).
2. Once the Guest Additions are installed, close the Virtual Box Ubuntu Window (choose to Power Down the Machine).
3. Now, open Virtual Box itself (not Ubuntu) and highlight the Ubuntu machine, then click on Settings at the top.
4. Click on USB and make sure Enable USB Controller and Enable USB 2.0 are both enabled.
5. Now plug in your Android phone (do NOT mount the SD card, just plug it in).
6. Now in the USB menu of Virtual Box, click the + symbol on the right and then select your Android Device (name may be different).
7. Once that is installed, unplug your phone.
8. Now, Start your Ubuntu Virtual Box.
9. Once Ubuntu boots up, plug in your Android phone (do not mount the memory card yet) and look for the USB symbol at the bottom (fourth icon from the left) and hover over it and wait for it to say USB Device detected and display your phone. Once that happens, mount the sd card by pulling down the notification bar on your phone and clicking mount.
10. Ubuntu should pop up your SD card on the desktop (if any prompts come up just select do nothing and click ok). We can now transfer files to the memory card of our phone.
VIb. Use RapidShare to Transfer the File from Ubuntu to Windows (if Section VIa was giving you trouble)
1. If you can’t get the USB to work in Ubuntu, then simply open a Firefox browser window, goto Rapidshare.com and upload the ROM to there.
2.Once it is done uploading, ON YOUR WINDOWS COMPUTER NOT UBUNTU, put in the link it gave you when you finished uploading it, to download it to your Windows computer so we can transfer it to your phone.
VII. Flash the ROM
5. Copy the .zip file to the root of your SD card (NOT in any folders, just on the SD card itself).
6. Unplug the phone and turn it off.
7. Turn it back on by holding down home and power (do not let go until the recovery screen comes up) to get to recovery mode (you must have a custom recovery screen to do this, if you don’t find out How To Root and Load a ROM procedure for your phone and do those first).
8. Now select Nandroid Backup to create a backup before we flash the new ROM.
9. Once the backup is done, select Wipe Data / Factory Reset in recovery mode.
10. Select flash zip from sd card and select the ROM you just put on the sd card.
11. Once it is done flashing, click reboot. Enjoy!
Enjoy! Will update this as we add more things for you to tweak Feel free to suggest some in the meantime.
Thanks to DsiXDA for his awesome kitchen!

[KERNEL MODULE][HOWTO] Open Files Directly from Windows Share

What you need
Cifs kernel module. Download from http://www.mediafire.com/?uhdo6h2z5fbtz4w
Rooted SGY, with ROM/kernel/apk that support running init.d script
CifsManager from Google Play
Know how to share folder and open shared folder in windows
Step
Put cifs-signed.zip in your sdcard (don't put inside folder)
Turn-off your SGY, enter to recovery mode (vol up+home+power). Select "apply update from sdcard", then select "cifs-signed.zip". Wait few second until you see message "Completed." and reboot your phone.
Install CifsManager
In CifsManager add new share with fields
Share Path : your windows share with format <ip>/<shared folder>, ex: 192.168.0.1/Music
Mount Point : path in your SGY where windows share will be appear, ex: /mnt/sdcard/WinMusic
Username : windows user name. If your share don't need password, just leave it default (guest).
Password : windows user password
Tap your share CifsManager to mount your share.
If success, browse using your file manager to your mount point and open your files without copy.
Tips
Only use in wi-fi connection and make sure your wi-fi sleep policy is "Never" (open in "Setting>wireless and networks>Wi-Fi settings" tap menu button and select "Advanced" and open Wi-Fi sleep policy and select "Never")
If your mount point on SDCARD, unmount your share from CifsManager before connected your SGY to pc usb as use storage
CifsManager need rooted phone. If your ROM/kernel not support init.d you still can used it with call init.d script manually.
Run from your terminal emulator/adb shell/ssh
Code:
su
/etc/init.d/90cifs
You only need run it once after your SGY booting. Using Script Manager maybe work but i am not testing yet.
I compile and write patch for kernel module by myself. You can share my post on your blog or other forums but please, don't re-upload file in download link. I just need to see how much people download my work. Thank you.
Kernel patch will be upload after i clean up.

Another work from you after patch and dualboot kernel.
Must try this one.
Thanks bro.
-Just Farmer and Newbie Android-

Testing now,will report back in the morning.

What is recovery​You can boot to recovery menu by holding volume- while booting your device. From recovery meny you can calibrate your touchscreen, wipe data and do this kind of stuff. Installing SDE creates new entry to recovery menu, called Special Developers Edition. There you can remove android kernel, flash new, export hdd and data. In recovery move up and down with volume + and -. Select by pressing power button
What is SDE and how to install it​SDE is shortened word from Special Developers Edition. After SDE is installed, your tablet is able to boot to official rom, recovery, and SDE rom. Most of the roms advice you to use "Remove android kernel" from SDE before you install kernel. When you remove your android kernel from there and install kernel from custom rom, your archos boots directly to custom rom. If you don't delete it, your device boots to official, but keeping volume - while booting gives you change to boot to SDE.
There are 3 guides how to install SDE. Official SDE watermarks your device for archos (there is no watermark on screen ), so they can detect you have installed SDE in some point. It stays even if you remove SDE. Official way is more safe. Also, it removes "only" software warranty. If your devices powerbutton, Usb-port or etc brokes, you can still send it to warranty. Link to official SDE install guide. Big thanks for Shano56.
Then there is unofficial, a bit more dangerous method. It doesn't watermark your device, but is more complicated. Guide tells that it's outdated, but it worked for me. I used official 4.0.4 version while installing. Link to the guide. Big thanks to Shano56.
4.0.25 Guide, by surdu_petru
surdu_petru said:
Hi !
I uninstalled SDE by mistake yesterday !
...so, you can enable (install) unofficially SDE following this path ( work 100% on firmware 4.0.25 ) :
On your tablet :
check on Settings-> Developer options -> USB debugging on !
connect USB cable ( PC to tablet )
On your PC :
> adb push 1 /data/local
> adb push 2 /data/local
> adb shell
$ chmod 0755 /data/local/*
$ ./data/local/1
$ exit
> adb reboot
> adb shell
$ ./data/local/2
$ exit
> adb reboot
> adb push zimage /data/local/tmp
> adb push initrd.cpio.lzma /data/local/tmp
> adb push abcbox /data/local/tmp
> adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/abcbox
> adb shell /data/local/tmp/abcbox kd_flasher -k /data/local/tmp/zimage -i /data/local/tmp/initrd.cpio.lzma
( now you have installed unofficially SDE ! )
Flash Root version or other Custom Rom :
> adb reboot
> adb shell rm /data/local.prop
> adb push archos.ext4(.update) /mnt/storage
Go to SDE -> ( check "Reboot" on power off menu , and after a while press & keep volume down until you see SDE menu !)
Go to Recovery System -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel -> I Undestand -> OK -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel & Initramfs -> copy here zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo appropriate archos.ext4(.update) -> OK -> wait to boot !
Now you have Rot version installed !
Here you will find the necessary files : Enable_SDE.zip

Early CM9
Stock ICS rom with root & busybox
Stock honeycomb with root. (FYI, kernel requires renaming while installing)
How to install custom roms​Custom roms have different installing methods, but basic idea is same. You move image file with specified name to specified location.
When coming from stock rom or whengoing to stock rom:
CyanogenMod 10, AOKP, CyanogenMod 9

How to install official rom​Download official 4.0.7 rom from here.
Now boot to recovery (hold volume- while booting) and choose update firmware.
Now there should be noew drive in your pc. Drop the downloaded firmware_archos_it4.aos to there and press ok in recovery. Keep usb plugged in while installing. It should take around 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Now choose ok again. your tablet should now reboot to stock rom.
4.0.24 Official is owrking on some devices, but because it won't work on all, i won't cover it here(yet)
How to multiboot android 4.0 based roms​Install modified initfram from this topic. Use the zimage from the rom you want to multiboot. AFAIK you can multiboot with following combos:
[email protected], Ubuntu (download newer kernel from later pages.), Root 4.0.7
and
AOKP, CyanogenMod 9.
You cant use [email protected] and AOKP because they do not use same kind of data. That means that after you have run first rom, the second will bootloop. That is also why it requires wiping data when changing from stock to aokp and vise versa.
Detailed:
Download dmenu-0.3a.zip, and extract initframfs to desktop. Then download [email protected] and stock 4.0.7 rooted. Extract Image files and zimage from either one of the roms. Now just instal like described in earlier section, while using initframfs from multiboot and kernel from other rom.
Installing 3G stick and Huawei modems support. ​
Trevd made a package to add 3G stick and extra Huawei modems work for AOKP and generally all ICS ROMs. This guy is awesome because he also made some Huawei modems work.
trevd said:
Hi surdu_petru and AOKP fans.
Great work as always, It's not a rom i'll ever use but It's the first time I've loaded an AOKP Rom, I like notification layout, I'll be having that away for my own personal rom Anyway I was more just passing through and noticed 3G was not working yet. As seen as though that seems to be my speciality and preoccupation/addiction for the last 9 months I thought I do something to remedy that situation for you.
Here's an hotfile link to download the update [ 3g-archos-aopk.7z ] this should contain everything you need to get the Archos 3G Dongle, just for ****s and giggles as a extra bonus i've also included the huawei support file as well :good:
Installation:
From a command prompt / bash terminal
Code:
7z x 3g-archos-aopk.7z
adb push 3g /
adb shell reboot_into sde
extracting the 3g-archos-aopk.7z will give youu a 3g directory in you current directory, we then push the contents of the 3g directory to the root direcotry on the device. This operation is recursive.
Have Fun!
What follows is a detailed explanation of what files and modifications are required to add 3G support.
Archos 3G Stick
The changes / additions to add this functionality breaks down like this ; The following required binary's were on the device already:
** /lib/modules/hso.ko is insmod'd by the device specific init file /etc/init/init..rc
Code:
/lib/modules/hso.ko[B]**[/B]
/usr/bin/usb_modeswitch
/system/lib/libtcl-ril.so
/system/bin/rild
/system/bin/pppd
/system/xbin/chat
/etc/ppp/init_pppd_datakey
/etc/ppp/ip-up-datakey
/etc/ppp/ip-down-datakey
/etc/ppp/peers/datakey
/etc/chatscripts/datakey_start
/etc/chatscripts/datakey_stop
/etc/usb_modeswitch/1bbb_f000
The following required services were already defined in the device specific init.rc's located in /etc/init/init..rc ,
*** switch_ms_3g defined by /etc/init/init.archos.rc
Code:
service service switch_ms_to_3g[B]***[/B]
service pppd_secrets
service pppd_datakey
service ril-daemon
So what's missing? you may ask as this pretty much is everything that is needed by the Archos 3G Stick.
Standard Archos Roms use the UsbKeyManager.apk system service to start the switch_ms_to_3g and ril-daemon service's. I replace that with my own ueventd handling native service and add an additional to configuration file keep everything clean
Code:
/system/bin/hotplugd
/init.dongle.rc
I've added the following line to the top of the /init.rc
Code:
import init.dongle.rc
All that is left to do now is enable mobile networks on the rom. I used apktool to decompile the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and change the following values
res/values/bools.xml
Code:
true
true
res/values/arrays.xml
Code:
wifi,1,1,1,-1,true
mobile,0,0,0,-1,true
mobile_mms,2,0,2,60000,true
mobile_supl,3,0,2,60000,true
mobile_hipri,5,0,3,60000,true
mobile_fota,10,0,2,60000,true
mobile_ims,11,0,2,60000,true
mobile_cbs,12,0,2,60000,true
wifi_p2p,13,1,0,-1,true
"1,1"
"0,1"
"7,1"
"9,1"
res/values/strings.xml
Code:
ppp1
Huawei Support
The extend this functionality further I added the following files
Code:
/etc/ppp/init_pppd_gprs
/etc/ppp/ip-up-gprs
/etc/ppp/ip-down-gprs
/etc/ppp/peers/gprs
/etc/chatscripts/gprs_start
/etc/chatscripts/gprs_stop
/etc/usb_modeswitch/ [ numerous configurations files ]
/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko
/lib/modules/option.ko
/system/lib/libhuaweigeneric-ril.so
We also need to chmod 6755 /system/bin/pppd but that is handled/checked in the /init.dongle.rc so there is no need to do that manually

Change symlinks/binds​Trevd wrote guide to let people know how to change binds. That way you can move large folders, like Gameloft games and navigator files to ExternalSD, saving InternalSD space.
trevd said:
If you after freeing up space, it is still possible with a bit of hacking voodoo . There are 2 ways I know of in fact.
METHOD 1 - SDCARD SERVICE
you can point the /storage ( /mnt/storage in reality ) to any directory you like. I've currently got mine pointing to an multi partitioned external 32gb sdcard. :0 all you need to do is change the sdcard service in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc,
Currently it mounts /data/media to /mnt/storage, if you have an external sdcard card handy, try this as a quick and dirty test
From a terminal emulator or adb shell run the following commands
Code:
stop sdcard ;
sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1000 1015 &
ls /storage
You will now see that the external sdcard can be access through /storage. to kill the test run
Code:
pkill -9 sdcard
start sdcard
Everything should be back to normal. As I mentioned to make a more permanent change edit the following line in the /etc/init/init.A101S.rc
Code:
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1000 1015
METHOD 2 - MOUNT BIND
The other, perhaps more straight forward method uses the bind argument on the mount to command to "mount an already visible filesystem elsewhere" .
In the example I'll bind the external sdcard to a directory in the internal storage
use the terminal emulator or adb once again to execute the following commands
Code:
mkdir /storage/sdcard
mount --bind /mnt/sdcard /storage/sdcard
To make this more parmanent, I would probably create a wrapper shell script for the sdcard service to make sure it all gets started together, that's just my preference, As we say in trade ( or maybe it's a saying i've just made up :silly: ) ; "there's more than one way to mount a file system!"
In Summary: I would go with method 2 as this effectively achieves the desired effect off "symlinking" an external directory in the /storage

Installing ADB​ADB comes from word android development bridge, and it allows you to debug, move files and get shell access to your tablet.
Archos said:
First make sure you are running the latest ARCHOS firmware. Connecting by this method will give you user shell privileges. Learn more to know how to use ADB on Windows, Mac or Linux operating system:
Go to the Android SDK page and download the latest SDK for your operating system.
For Windows users only: Install the Archos ADB USB Driver for Windows. The driver is available at the ARCHOS support ftp (ftp://support.archos.com). Instructions how to install the driver are available at USB Driver for Windows site on Android Developers.
Add Archos vendor ID (0x0e79) to adb_usb.ini in .android folder in your home directory:
Windows: echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
Macos: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
Linux: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
For Linux users only: You need to add a udev rule if ADB only works as root:
Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that contains the following lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="e79", MODE="0666"
Make the rule known to udev with the following command:
udevadm control --reload-rules (or udevcontrol reload_rules on older systems)

Running adb from anywhere
steviewevie said:
We need to update your Path variable. This lets you run adb on your PC from a command window no matter which directory you are in (which makes things a lot easier). If you don't setup your Path, then every time you want to run adb, you will either have to type the whole long pathname where you put adb, or cd to where you've put adb and run it from there (which could be inconvenient if you are transferring files to/from your phone).
On your PC, right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties". (on Vista, click on "Change Settings"). Go to the "Advanced" tab, then select "Environment Variables". Find the "Path" variable in the list of variables that it shows (you might need to scroll), and then double-click on that entry to edit it. Add the full path of the "tools" and "platform-tools" folders of the SDK to your path. e.g. if the SDK has been installed in "c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows", then add to your Path "c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" (Please Note - don't put any spaces between the semi-colon and pathname, otherwise it won't work !)

Installing Supercharger​Supercharger is a multiscript which makes the tablet work much better. Its created by Zeppelinrox, and its official topic is here. We are using also script manager in this guide. That way we can make MinFrees and OOM apply.
In this guide we'll use Apex launcher which is moved to /system/app for our default launcher.
We are also using adb to configure and run Supercharger.
Because stock launcher is odexed and i am not writing how to deodex, we are not using it.
First make sure apex is your default launcher. This can be tested by pressing home button in homescreen.
If it show mini previews of your homescreens, apex is your default launcher.
Now lets begin:
go to here and download newest file. At
the time of writing, it is Update 9_RC11_test6. Move it to your adb folder.
Then open commandline. This can be opened with windowskey + R and writing cmd. Navigate
to adb folder using cd command. I have made adb to run from anywhere, so i just navigate to the downloaded file.
Now use command "adb push v6* /mnt/sdcard" then use command "adb shell". Now you should have
shell access to your tablet. Now do following
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh V6* /remember capital V)
Supercharger script should open now. After presentation, script should print after telling your busybox version
"com.anddoes.launcher is the home launcher!" Now continue install. Supercharger will tell you everything you need to know.
So just follow the instructions. After choosing kernel tweak, you get bunch of permission denieds.
We can't help them, so lets just continue.I recommend on using all the tweaks that you can,
but it is your choise do you want to use or not. After all the selections are selected and your in
driver panel, choose number 32. It'll reboot your tablet and wipe dalvik. When the tablet has booted, lets run supercharger script again.
So write these again:
su
cd /mnt/sdcard
sh V6_Super*
After getting to drivers panel, you notice that minfrees are not in effect, and neither is OOM Grouping Fix BUT if they are, you can ignore this step..
Install script manager from market and open it. Give it root permissions and navigate to /system/etc/init.d
press SS99SuperCharger to open its settings. Now press the Su button and then Boot button.
Now press save, and then click it's name which appers to right. Then press back button and reboot.
Now Minfrees should work, and OOM too.
Now you can run 22 if you want to try it. Supercharger is now fully working.
Installing Chainfire3D​
Chainfire said:
Chainfire3D is an intermediary OpenGL driver. What does that mean? It means that Chainfire3D sits between your apps and the graphics drivers, and can intercept and/or change commands between the two. It has some built-in functions, and can be further extended with plugins to provide extra functionality.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It is very useful for running gameloft games and other games too. I recommend buying it. There are some plugin for it, but i'm not going to tell you about it now.Play store link.
After downloading it, open it and choose "Chainfire3D Driver" and from there "install". Then confirm it and tablet should reboot. Now reopen it and choose "Default opengl setting". From there you can tweak 3D performance if some games lag. Also, if you install plugin, there you can apply them. I personally use "reduce texture quality".
But why?​
This section is to point few reason why to follow these guides. Lets begin:
SDE
Well, you should install this if you want to customize your tablet. If your happy with your tablet running stock, you don't need this, or any other guides.
Custom roms/kernels
Custom roms allow you to use root, they make your tablet faster and add extra functionality. This "functionality" includes: Overclock, run init.d scripts, enable both cores with all governors, root and themes. The benefits are not limited to these, but I could name this quickly. If you wan't to try something which is close to stock, but still has root and some custom functionalities, i would recommend deodexed 4.0.7, or [email protected]
Install official roms
These roms do not require SDE, but will not include root or anything fun . Updating your official rom has many benefits. They include fixes and boost your tablets performance.
Multiboot
Multibooting allows you to have 2 or more roms, which you can choose which to boot on startup. I would recommend this if you want to test functions with root, but still have "backup plan" if testing rom renders unbootable.
3G support
Basicly this allowes some extra huawei 3G sticks to work. There is no list of working stick, you just have to try and hope.
Change symlinks/binds
These allow you to "move" eg. gameloft games to external sd, and allow you to acces your externalsd via internalsd folder.. That way your gamedata does not eat the valuable internalsd space.
ADB
You need this to transfer rom to your tablet. It is also required when you sent logcat reports to help remove bugs.
SuperCharger
This makes your tablet work more fluid. I personally install supercharger to all my android devices. It removes need for task killer, and makes the device work better. Everyone has different results, and it costs only time to install, so i would recommend installing it.
Chainfire3D
This tool allows you to play games made for other GPUs and it can tweak application graphics. You can make the game look worse, but run better or adjust the grphics for a bit higher, so the game looks nicer.

How to activate second core for all govenors in surdu_petrus roms?
To activate the second core, you need the following steps :
- copy /system/S1tweak in /system/etc/init.d/ or ( > adb shell ; # cp /system/S1tweak /system/etc/init.d ; # exit )
- open No-frills CPU Control :
- choose the desired Governor ( but not hotplug ) !
- choose the desired frequency , but not overclocked ! ( when the device will boot - will open with the selected frequency , so please choose max. frequency = your max. stock frequency )
- check "Apply on boot"
- check "Applay"
- check allow if superuser asked permission
- reboot your device !
- Now , both core will be used in any selected Governor ( other than hotplug ! ).

Can I just drag the .zip file to the RAMDISK that appears when I flash zImage and initramfs?
No! Archos recovery cannot read ZIP files. You must first EXTRACT, then copy the contents of the extracted folder. NOT the folder itself. This means you will have two files on the RAMDISK, and no additional folders. If you don't know what a RAMDISK is, try Google or Wikipedia. If you get stuck in a boot loop because you forgot to extract archos.update.ext4 or drive.zip, you must follow the instructions below.
Help! I am stuck in a bootloop! Archos splash screen appears and keeps rebooting. I messed up when I was rooting, and now android will not boot! I accidentally formatted my device, and now I cannot boot into android.
This is a simple mistake and in 99% of cases it is easy to fix. Follow these steps:
Step 1: Download official Archos G9 firmware for ALL G9 tablets (aos file) HERE
Step 2: Boot into recovery turning your device off and then holding volume down + power at the same time
Step 3: Choose "Update Firmware"
Step 4: Connect USB cable to computer and tablet
Step 5: A removable device should appear (RAMDISK), copy the file you just download straight to that drive
Step 6: Press the power button once the file is done copying. DO NOT UNPLUG your device until it has finished updating and has booted back into android.
If you did not format your tablet or delete any personal media, your files should be uneffected.
Will I lose SDE menu if I update my tablet with official AOS or OTA update
As of the latest update (4.0.6) no official update from Archos has removed SDE menu. You should be fine, and your SDE menu should remain untouched.

Hi there!
You have been busy! Thanks for kind words, Just an heads up really, you might want to update your post as I deleted the usb-modem-binary-redist github repo yesterday as it was a bit too clever for it's own good and I think a bit of abuse/misuse of the concept branching! Just because you can, doesn't always mean you should LOL, with that in mind I'd probably advise against linking to my github repos as they don't stay static for very long. I generally leave the hotfile links up "forever" so link away with them.
The Information and files included in the new AOKP post about 3G Dongles should be good across all ICS roms. Finally allow me to throw out this mini guide I wrote a while back which explains an "app-free" method of freeing up space, I noticed there been a bit of discussion about it, Using an app just seem like overkill, but that's just me I suppose.
Anyway good work. :good:

Yes, you must use adb. I assume your "untoot" means unrooted. You use cd command to navigate to your adb folder and from there to platform-tools. Also drop archos.ext4.update to there. Then use the adb command to move the file. Moving file to that location does not require root.

Go to the recovery menu, choose update firmware. When it prompts you to connect tablet to pc, cobbect it, but to different usb port than last time. That should cause the pc to reinstall usb drivers for the tablet.

Thanks, for so fast reply Dear...
I did the same as you advised and a drive with name ending with "REC" with a capacity of 299 MB appeared. I tried to copy the Surdu's Deoedex update but it has more weight in MBS about 390. So it could not. I tried original Archos ROM with weight of 186 MB and it copied. Started update but returned with an error "Update failed: (221)".....
Please advise.
Note: I also tried in SDE menu to export data drive and got a drive 1.48 GB which I formated from win 7 and succeded in copying Stock and Surdu's ROMs one by one but always failed to get android and it always say failed update. Still get unanimated Archos logo on startup with no further bootup.

Thanks Julle..But Now I understand that official ROM is not installing because of unofficial kernel flash I have already installed and had flushed original one.

To install the update I linked, you shouldn't need any kernel changes. Removing kernel from SDE removes the official kernel, but that does not prevent installing official update. Also installing custom kernel will not prevent installing official rom.
I just do not understand why you get the 221 error as most of the people get it when that have incorrect file there or already have newer stock ROM installed. It is possible that your windows format broke it, because windows formats it to wrong format. You should never format any other than sdcards in windows. You could try the format system in recovery and choosing reformat device. After that install the official update I linked.

[DEV][WIP] xubuntu on tf300tg 0.1.2 (updated 130408)

*** ABOUT ***
This is an attempt to build a completely clean installation of xubuntu for the tf300tg (and probably tf300t). Most notably it does not reuse the ac100 ubuntu package.
I also want it to be as completely documented as possible starting from an official ubuntu repository and kernel source, until everything is working. Which does not mean it is for a complete beginner to reproduce...
It's not (yet) packaged : you at least need to be able to install a blob for the kernel, and a rootfs to a dedicated partition.
It's also not yet as cleaned up and documented as I would for the kernel side of things.
Everything is done on device on (and for) a tf300tg but as been reported to work on tf300t.
Most of the hard work was done by others. I mostly started from rabit's tf700 ubuntu, and added some insight from cb22 work on arch to get something working.
*** STATUS ***
What works :
- it boots into a clean xubuntu dm/desktop, with wifi (improved), 3g
- it also boots into android (stock, didn't try cm)
- 3g also works under android (new)
- touchpad / touchscreen
- 3d acceleration (version 16.3 of nvidia drivers)
- cpu and gpu overclock (respectively to 1,5 GHz and 446 MHz)
What I know doesn't work, isn't there yet :
- sound
- bluetooth
- some key remapping (esc, alt, ...)
Many other things I didn't check (sensors ?).
*** HOWTO install ***
0. of course you can break many things doing that ; you should have access to nvflash (never had to use it though) and with a recovery installed (I'm on twrp 2.4.3.0)
1. unpack xubuntu_tf300tg_rootfs-0.1.2.img.lzma to the internal storage and move / rename to linux/rootfs.img (/data/media/linux/rootfs.img)
1bis. you can change your keyboard layout in /etc/default/keyboard (replace "us" by whatever is your locale)
2. install the kernel blob using fastboot or "dd if=xubuntu_tf300tg_kernel-0.1.2oc.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"
You should be able to reboot into xubunfu (or android).
3. log in as guest, from "user and groups" in the "settings manager", add one user, set password, change account type to administrator, add to sudo group (root password wil be asked : root)
4. logout, then login into your newly created user
5. open "language support" from the settings manager, and when it says missing locales, either choose install if you want "en" or "ask me later" if you want something else (in which case you can chose to install your own language, and configure them on the "regional format" page ; don't forget to apply system wide on both pages
6. change root password
Your second reboot should be more satisfying
*** HOWTO improve ***
1. find out what does not work and tell in the thread
2. understand what is documented bellow and propose correction / evolutions in the thread
3. don't hope for frequent updates : I do that alongside a more than full time job and tending to a two years old child. Still I will update.

*** HOW is it done / kernel ***
The kernel source is default asus 10.4.3.9 from asus' website download section. Patched to add cpu overclock from faux's kernel and gpu overclock from motley's kernel (diff file in src.tar.lzma).
Initial kernel config file is taken from stock 10.4.3.9 android, with options added to support ubuntu and oc. path to the nvram for bcm4329 modified.
Ramdisk is mostly that from rabbits 0.8.0, with some modificaitons to enable modem support under android.
*** Todo ****
- modify config / kernel to use nvidia's R16.3 tool to patch wifi ;
- build initramfs anew from tf300t/tg stock android initramfs (currently rabbits modified tf700) ;
- bluetooth and sound ;
- key remapping.

Sounds promising! Keep it up, hopefully other devs see this and help you out :good:

Thanks for your interest.
Although I would be happy to have some feedback, it may be a bit early if you don't have a dock : it's completely functionnal with a dock and mouse (I've been using it for work - and build - for a few days), without a keyboard and mouse, you will not go farther than xubuntu' login screen.
Anyway if you still wan't to try it, tell me if you reach xubuntu blue login screen.

I know that and it can be reproduced (look at rabits' /etc/X11/xorg.conf ; and needs packages xserver-xorg-input-multitouch and mtev).
But I have not yet abandonned all hope of doing it the ubuntu way (ie. with evdev).

Rabits modified the boot image so that it checks /dev/sda*, then /dev/mmcblk1p*, then an img file on /dev/mmcblk0p8. The first which looks to be an ubuntu partition is used as root. He also activated vt (having a console during boot) in is kernel configuration. I reproduced both.

Ramdisk initrd.img in your kernel blob file is not a gzip !!!

Ok starting test
1. Yours kernel most start android if no Linux in /dev/sda1 or /dev/mmcblk1p* or on /dev/mmcblk0p8. Some I understand ?
Now making backup of me tablet ( TF300t ) and flashing kernel to test it.
2. I planing Make Linux on me ExtSDcard (MiniSD 8 gb) and plug sdcard in tablet and then reboot tablet. i hope to start Xubuntu

Can't mount linux
So I thought I'd give this a try. These are the steps I took to install this:
1. Formated 8gig SD card as ext4
2. Extracted rootfs to SD card.
3. Inserted SD in base
4. copy /system/vendor and /system/etc from your tf into /system on that partition ; copy /data/misc from your tf into /data on that partition
5. fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging xubuntu_tf300tg_kernel-0.1.0.blob
6. reboot
6. Kernel boots prompting option, select 1 (linux) and fails to mount partition and boots into android with no other problem.
What am I missing?

So I thought I'd give this a try. These are the steps I took to install this:
1. Formated 8gig SD card as ext4
2. Extracted rootfs to SD card.
3. Inserted SD in base
4. copy /system/vendor and /system/etc from your tf into /system on that partition ; copy /data/misc from your tf into /data on that partition
5. fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging xubuntu_tf300tg_kernel-0.1.0.blob
6. reboot

I have had some occurences of hitting return to fast at the prompt and init not detecting correctly the SD card. So maybe let it timeout into trying to boot linux.
If that does not work, you can choose "s" at the prompt, then from there check into /dev/ which disks / partitions are recognized. Provided that your linux partition is the first and only one on the SD card, you should have a /dev/sda and /dev/sda1. What do you see ?
Also remove any usb drive, which could appear as /dev/sda (and make the sd card appear as /dev/sdb).

Some RABIT write "In-device microSD really bad works." :crying:
I heave problems to boot from sd now i think extract xubuntu in /data/media/linux/rootfs.img
-- Update --
MicroSD - /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

Well it looks like it's a no go for me. it could be that I used Minitool Partition Wizard to format because I could not get to my linux machine at the time.
I also tried flashing the kernel over 3 different ROM:
1. CROMI 3.4.4 - Keep failing with Encryption error after boot animation prompting me to reset the device.
2. Hydro 7 - Keep failing with Encryption error after boot animation prompting me to reset the device.
3. CM 10.1 - Failed to get pass boot animation.
I'll have to re-flash Asus stock ROM (10.4.2.20) in order to fully test this, I might have to reformat the sd on linux also.

Me to. I can't boot to android at all
I still tray boot to xubuntu with this kernel and I make img on the internal card

Yeah, I did notice that the kernel looks for the /data/media/linux/.img for a last effort. I was thinking on doing the same.
