PSFreedom ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS.

You can hack your PS3 with your evo. Please refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778202 for the files and informations....
Some points of interest.
1) If you run any rom but fresh, your evo will freeze during the white loading screen, its normal, it will still do the hack. (have not verified myself, I run cyanogen and it freezes on white loading screen, still hacked my ps3)
2) You must have Amon Ra 1.8 or higher or the latest Clockwork Recovery or else you cannot flash the hack to your phone. It will give a digest error.
3) You must have firmware 3.41 installed on your PS3, not 3.15 not 3.42. If you have any other firmware, your ps3 just will not show anything on the screen. If the hack is installed correctly, it will take about 10 seconds, no more.
In order to install firmware 3.41 you can download it from PS3 - Hacks - firmware 3.41 and then visit Playstations Website for installation directions. In order to learn how to update your ps3 WITHOUT doing an auto update which WILL MAKE SURE YOU CANNOT INSTALL THE HACK.
4) Whatever device you load the backup manager package on, will be the only device you can do add backups to. IE: if you load backup manager on your evo in USB storage mode, you will only be able to back up to your evo. I suggest, swallowing 100 bucks and getting an external drive, install device manager to that, then do all your backups to the drive. ORRRRRRRR Buy a 2.5 terabyte drive and install it internally to your ps3.
5) Now instead of a nandrestore there is a disable file you can flash. Check out http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_EVO
--------------------- Instructions for installing PSfreedom hack with your EVO ---------------------------
1) Bakckup your nandroid then Flash the zip to your evo
2) Reboot your evo (most likely will freeze on reboot, its normal)
3) Make sure you have Firmware 3.41 on your PS3, if not, use an SD card, DVD, or Flash Drive to install the proper firmware.
4) Unplug your power cable to the ps3
5) Plug your EVO into the PS3 via USB cable
6) Plug in your ps3 power cable
7) Press the power buttom immediately followed by the eject button on your ps3 (will beep twice)
8) Wait no longer than 60 seconds for your ps3 to boot, if it does not, refer to the above information about firmwares and files.
9) Once the PS3 boots go to the game menu, and look for install packages.
10) Flash the disable zip file or do a nand restore to your evo.
If you have the option to install packages, its official! You are hacked.

5) Once you have installed Backup Manager to your permanent storage solution, you WILL NOT NEED TO USE YOUR EVO to boot your ps3 anymore. You only need this hack in order to install unsigned code. Once the code is installed, its there permanently. (Have not verified myself).
Definitely NOT true, you will need to have the device plugged in every time.

i appreciate your help to the community and i have implemented some of it into my thread but some of the info you posted is wrong such as device manager, i believe you mean back up manager and that is not true that you need to install it on there. Anyway, thanks for the help, i have added it to my post, but i dont think this thread belongs here, more like answers part of forum.

#5 sounds wrong. I doubt the PS3 will ever run your unsigned code without the PSFreedom hack enabled by the Evo at every bootup, even if successfully installed on a previous boot.

That is possible, Backup Manager will remain installed i guess but will no longer function.
Post has been edited to reflect this.
It also makes the evo a fairly useless way to hack your ps3. 15 minutes to turn on your ps3...bleh
In any case, thanx for correcting me guys. Im no developer, i just know all the questions i ran into, and they happen to be the same questions people keep asking. Figured id try to keep it simple.

Good info (seems to be copied and pasted from the PSFREEDOM thread).. I'm sure we will see this skip to QnA tho. Question is even in the title

Is it necessary to quote the entire first post?
Sent from my badass, superfast evo; over the fastest, cheapest, best coverage-having network.

So i got the ps3 to come up with the "install package files", so i know i'm hacked, but now what do I do? Do I have to hit install packages or what? Thanks in advance
Edit: Also where can I get backup manager?

You can now install package files. Google for backup manager.

I see no point on using my phone to play games on the PS3... why not to make it work with old phones (the ones that you just use as a paper weight). I have two PS3's at home and believe me I still see no point on using my evo to play games on the ps3 hehe. Don't get me wrong, I like the idea but, what about if somebody calls you and you are playing.

This will be much more streamlined when a psfreedom AMON_RA is released for our phones. Then you can just open Rom manager, click boot into Recovery, and hack the ps3, then reboot and you phone is normal again.
At that time, Bart will be my hero. (even more)

technically you rent using it to play games youa re using yor phone to put your ps3 in dev mode. while in dev mode you can play games (if you install back up mamager) or use homebrew apps with out the aid of your phone once in dev mode.. Personally i still think it is a hassle and i think Sony will crack down on those they can catch. It is kind of a pain to have to flash your phone start your ps3 and either flash or annd restore your phone back each time you want to power on your ps3 and use it in dev mode (which is needed to play the back ups).
just me. I am sure the kiddies that have nothing better to do and no jobs will love this and wont mind though.

You dont have to leave your phone plugged in. Once the ps3 has booted up you can remove it. takes 10 seconds.
Guys this literally takes 5 minutes.
-flash the enabler
-plug phone into ps3
-unplug ps3
-plug in ps3
-power on then hit eject
-unplug phone and restore from nandroid
Piece of cake.

then you wait 10 minutes while your phone finishes restoring. thats also assuming you are ok with the nand back up you have and havent changed anything since you made it if you have you either have to manually make the changes or make a nand back up first. 5 minutes is now 15-25. and that is EVERY time you turn on the ps3. is it cool that you can do it sure, is it hard to do no it isnt, but if you find this as an optimal solution or even a sustainable one then i don't know what to tell you.

Im playing tiger woods while my phone restores so I dont pay attention to how long it takes. Im sure there will be a much simpler solution in the future but this one works perfectly fine for me.

how do you install psfreed recovery .img??
I know that it says by fastboot, but are there any step by step instruction? thanks for the help

[DEV] ArchLinux on the TF300T(G)

I've always been more of an Arch than Ubuntu person (how do you know if someone uses ArchLinux? Don't worry, they'll tell you)
This requires you to be unlocked and on the JB bootloader. I disclaim all responsibility if it somehow turns your tablet into a pile of ashes...
What works:
Dual boot with Android.
Internal storage and MicroSD Card
X11, with compositing
Audio
Mouse and keyboard on the dock, as well as dock hotplugging.
Touchscreen
Playing videos (full 1080P works great.) using Xfce's media player
Sensors (Light, compass, accelerometer, gyro). These are all exposed under sysfs.
Charging / Dock charging. This appears to be managed by the kernel.
USB gadget (as a RNDIS device for network access via USB)
CPU frequency scaling / Tegra LP core. The LP core is automatically used you can see its status in /sys/kernel/cluster/active (when that file reads LP) and its use is simply what the current CPU1 use appears to be.
WiFi, with NetworkManager
3G, on the TF300TG model, with NetworkManager
Battery (and dock) status in Xfce
USB port on the dock
Some sensible key remapping (Back -> Escape, Search -> Alt, Home -> Super)
What doesn't work:
Bluetooth
Two finger scrolling with the mouse
Rebooting from Linux (have to do a sync then hard power off)
Basic framebuffer console - to get dual boot working I had to remove the FB console
Using "standard" xv (as in, mplayer -vo xv). Untested really, use gstreamer.
Cameras
Current priorities:
Get Bluetooth working
Get two finger scrolling working.
Get rebooting working
Anything else is untested. Currently, I'm using the TF300TG's kernel source at https://github.com/cb22/tf300tg_jb_kernel - which is just the standard source from ASUS with a patch or two.
Dual booting:
At the moment, my "hybrid" initramfs checks for a file ".boot_linux" on the internal SD card (/data/media/.boot_linux or /storage/sdcard0/.boot_linux - same thing). If it exists, it boots Linux, otherwise, Android starts up. It wouldn't be difficult at all to make a simple Android app with a "Reboot into Linux" button, and vice versa one for Linux with "Reboot into Android"
Important note:
Currently, the provided kernel / initramfs is built for the TF300TG. It does seem to work fine on the TF300T however.
Downloads:
Kernel + Initramfs blob: https://rapidshare.com/files/2827313479/hybridkernel.blob
RootFS with Xfce: https://rapidshare.com/files/201953815/linux.tar.gz
Installation:
Flash the blob to staging using fastboot.
Untar the rootfs to /data/linux/. The easiest way to do this is probably to copy it across to the Transformer via adb or MTP, then run
Code:
$ su
# mkdir /data/linux
# tar -xzvf /storage/sdcard0/linux.tar.gz -C /data/linux
Issues:
Apparently permissions aren't set properly when untar-ing. This can be "fixed" by a chmod 755, apparently. As soon as I can, I'll make a better way of installing this (update.zip style)

Sounds good, I think would be nice together with a dual boot kernel :good:

AWESOME! This is what I've been looking for. Thanks for kick starting this, I'm flashing the recovery right away. I suppose I'll start playing around with the .config and see where that takes me.
C'mon people! lets get this done so we can then try out dualboot options and bring some GNU/Linux flavor to the Transformer Pad.

Good work. Im waiting for a working Ubuntu so I can install Blackbuntu.
Shame Im on ICS bootloader as I would have tried it.
The Prime Ubuntu project aint had any updates recently sadly.

if you get this working, would you then maybe get the win8 tablet version also working? Loving linux, but Win8 on tablets even a bit better :good:

That's the aim! It would be really nice to have Android for tablet mode, and GNU/Linux for dock mode.

You can always use NVflash to backup your bootloader and such, then freely flash away. That's what I did (I'm on the TF300TG, and no one has uploaded their JB dlpkgfile *hint* *hint* and it's not available on ASUS's site yet) so I simply restored using NVflash to get my ICS with 3G back for when I'm not dev'ing.
Also - the ideas port over to any GNU/Linux system fairly easily once figured out - getting Ubuntu running wouldn't be much more effort. I'm using Arch to start since I understand it better (and prefer it)

Highly unlikely, sorry, and definitely not my field of expertise!

yeah nP - was just a think if they would have similar kernels...
Video looks very good, but as you say in the first post, nothing for ppl who don't know how to flash it and as I need the tablet for school I'd need dual boot at all... :/
But get on your working, really nice, but unfortunately I don't know anything about developing such things, so I can't help you...

This is awesome i'm gonna have to read up on this to see how it works! great work! Always wanted something like this.

Yeah.
Might try when I get some spare time.

Great initiative! I'd personally prefer a native debian distro over Arch but I figure once you've laid the groundwork the road's paved for more distro's.

Finally, a real reason to unlock the tab. When this works and it's dual boot, I will be unlocking and installing this.

Amazing! I just hope that it will be possible to dualboot with normal android installed. If so, it would be absolutely perfect. Keep going, buddy!

Would it be possible to get it dualboot with an external HDD's? Because you can only get external SD's only up to 64gb (as I know and not all of them work) and external HDD's usually have a bit more storage

I've been playing around with this today, and I was wondering if you could upload a barebones arch system (without KDE) but with any other improvements you might have been working on.
Thanks

That's what I've been working on! I have a kernel that supports full features of both Android and Arch (well sorta - no FB console, so no boot messages or such) and an initramfs that allows you to select (at the moment its hard coded, but I'll make a simple interface to select which one to boot, as well as things like telling Android to reboot into Linux, or vice versa). In terms of implementation, essentially it's just an initramfs chain loader.

Hello,
Can you use the package manager and install other DM the same way we would on a X86pc?

Abdroid tv box T9 RK3318 2gb ram 16gb rom stuck on TV logo after unroot with superSU

Hi all!
Some days ago I urooted my TV android tv box with superSU and then I restarted it. From that moment when I plug the device it only reach the T9 logo (not the android one) and don't go further.
I've tried different ways to try to unstuck it, but nothing has worked.
I tried:
- enter recovery boot by holding the button in the av hole -> nothing happens
- install new firmware with adb sideload with both ubuntu and windows 10 -> always get errors (often error: closed, sometime other errors that at the moment don't remember)
- install new firmware with sd card using SDCard Installer -> the device doesn't boot when the sd is inserted
Moreover, with adb in ubuntu sometimes it recognises the device and I can enter the adb shell (but obtain errors when try any tipe of command), and sometimes don't (after adb devices I see list of attached devices: ??????????????? offline)
Now I'm thinking to try to install an ubuntu like on an usb pendrive...
I will be very grateful of any help/suggestion to how to revive my device :fingers-crossed:
Thank you!!!

Does this happen to be a pendoo model? I have a pendoo x10 MAX and i actually simply just installed supersu while it was rooted. Since then, I haven't gotten this thing to boot. Just stays on the boot screen the entire way. I wiped in recovery, knew that'd do nothing. I just wanted a root MANAGER. I tried Magisk, my favorite.. no go.. so then I went a bit old school.. so I tried ChainFire's SuperSU.. and THAT updated the SU binary! It said it succeeded.. it asked to do recovery install or normal install.. on phones, I've always done normal.. so I chose normal. Plus.. this thing has no custom recovery. I found it on Amazon. Overpriced, but great with the controller it had. It looks like I'll need a replacement and maybe a request to ask this guy if he could possibly NOT use something like KingRoot/KingoRoot/AmaraRoot or ANY One click root tool.. they just cause more bloatware, inciting boot issues and problems within the Android box itself. These One Click Root tools are out of control. It's to the point where I need to find a way in to adb and find the firmware for the latest version of this thing... X10Max from Pendoo.. I have not found a thing anywhere regarding firmware, and their website is ****. NOTHING *anywhere* on these things.. hell I'm about to return it as I bought it for $72. I have another one, same model.. wondering if the root method was different. About to boot that up and find out. I'll even swap the board. At this point.. he rooted it.. the WRONG way.. you can MOUNT THE /SYSTEM PARTITION IN RECOVERY. THIS IS ANDROID 9 we're talking about--the recovery supported by API v3.
This can and should have a TWRP custom recovery. If none exists, don't bother. As long as you can mount /system then you have a chance, at least, to root the damn thing.. which is why I'm still messing with it. I have another two weeks to return it. I'll give it another couple of days before I call it off and just switch out the good board for the bad one, return it, then return the other one and just use it until I find a way to use a custom recovery on this thing. There has to be.. unless there is no firmware available in sight (for an RK3318 or 3328, can't tell.. recovery mode says 3328, model name says RK3318. I see no difference at the moment aside from processor naming at this point--maybe speed?)
I'm still a nub with Android TV boxes so don't hold it against me for updating the damn root binary. If I could find a way to just reinstall the entire firmware and delete all previous stuff, I would. It would be worth it to learn. I would then mount /system in recovery and soldier on.
One little issue with this thing.. there's only one USB port that actually works. Same applies for the same exact product, a replication of the same thing.. was a "replacement" that still have/has the same qualities.
I've ranted enough. I vote more research into RK33xx processors and possible custom recoveries. I'm about to look for it based on only the device itself.
Note: Been stuck at boot screen ever since the binary was updated. I felt it was necessary to have a boot manager. I don't know where to even find the firmware. Can.. anyone point me in any direction? Something that MIGHT work on this thing? Android 6 or 7 would even suffice, return or no return, as "stuck on boot screen" will be my complaint. That's.. the actual complaint. I can't just *flash it* like the old days.. and maybe the original Android 9.0 firmware would suffice.. I don't know, but Pendoo.. wouldn't that be preferred?

You will need an SDcard to recover this box. I think the T9 32GB 4GB rom will do the job since its a cut down version.
Make a update SDcard and pop it in and power on the box. It will start the recovery on its own.

hello, sorry for my English I live in France I would have a question about the box: TV T9 RK3318, 4gb / 64gb. the problem is that the time is desynchronized on restart and creates problems to connect to applications when the time is out of order, I tried everything changed the time zone to deactivate and entered the time Manual it goes out of order all the time . is there a custom version or a version 10?

Very cook did I checked this out awhile back alot of good information that's for your contribution

How To Install Lineage OS and Optionally, Build Lineage From Scratch
Hello Friends! Today I wanted to re-write a guide for installing Lineage OS on the 2019 Pro. This guide will be more to the point and have only the needed tools. The SOURCE for the Lineage zip shared in the download section below. [/SPOILER]...
forum.xda-developers.com
FOR LINEAGE
THIS GUIDE USES LINEAGE OS AS IT'S BASE, BC I HAD NO IDEA WHAT I WAS DOING WHEN I FIRST STARTED. I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF UNNECESSARY STEPS.
PLEASE USE ONE OF THE LINKS ABOVE FOR DOWNLOADING AND ROOTING LINEAGE OR ANDROID.​
*Hi Friends!*
Today I want to show you how to root your Nvidia Shield, for development purposes, as well as for repairing a soft-bricked system.
Spoiler: DOWNLOAD SHIELDROOT
https://drive.google.com/file/d/13pnW5eiO70b4JIvmbgqNRMhI5g1YHlzG/view?usp=sharing
Spoiler: THE SETUP
Plug your usb hub into the port next to your hdmi.
Plug a usb-c cable into the other port.
You will need an Nvidia Controller, a USB Hub, Portable Drive.
As well as a mouse and controller or a usb 3.0 keyboard
Spoiler: GETTING TO THE BOOTLOADER
Unplug the power cord from the Shield, then reapply it.
Using your Nvidia Controller or USB 3.0 keyboard, hold A and B until the Bootloader shows.
Select Unlock the bootloader.
Select Factory Data Reset.
Hit Reboot and remove the power cord, then unplug the usb from PC.
Wait a few seconds then add the power cord to the Shield.
Leave the USBC unplugged from your PC.
Hold A and B to post back into the bootloader.
Spoiler: INSTALLING THE USB DRIVER
Open Device Manager on your PC.
Plug the USBC cable into your PC.
Right click on the new fastboot device and hit update driver.
Browse Manually to Shield Drivers.
Then hit, "let me pick from a list".
Select I have a Disk.
Then install the andriod.usb file.
Spoiler: FLASHING THE ROOTED IMAGES
In SHIELDROOT, Run OEMUnlock.
Unplug the USB-C From the PC and Reapply.
(Must do to fix broke fastboot after unlock)
Run ShieldRoot.
This will flash the NVIDIA Developer Rooted images.
This will also flash TWRP for us, to recovery as well as boot.
This purposely bricks the system to run TWRP on boot until we finish
Spoiler: FLASHING THE OS AND OPTIONAL GAPPS
Have Lineage and Gapps saved to a portable drive.
Plug the drive into your usb hub.
Select Install in TWRP and start with Lineage.
Do the same thing for GAPPS If you want to have your playstore. RECOMMENDED.
Unless you know what you're doing...
GAPPS Version is the mini TV build so it runs much smoother.
Spoiler: SIDELOADING THE ROOT
----edit, please Know I believe you don't need to do both steps,
-----i had a problem with the flash on either the apk or the zip

I'm still studying everything android, apk, linux, etc. I thought about cracking big name emulators last night, like "Nox, andy. bluestacks" with custom OS full Root, etc, but then it occurred to me what these programs actually are, and it's so simple.
It's just like building androidx86 in a virtual machine, except the programs I mentioned, figured out how to manipulate the machines within the virtual environment, doing their best to shut sudo down, and Sold Out to Corporations, uploading $hitware, on top of their independent, emulated kernels.
So I thought "Why not install a headless (just terminal, no gui at boot version) linux" and then construct the android emulator from scratch?" Well I started researching more based off that train of thought, which emulators work on linux and I learned about the most Special One. https://anbox.io/#collapse2
The logic Is flawless, beautiful, brilliant, but not unique! Thankfully for me, as I am a female that prefers Windows, in a world ran by men that love Linux <3 no Hate. I understand. It is akin to apple vs android, but I digress. I was initially going to install a virtual machine with ubuntu to test out anbox, which I absolutely am going to do, as well as I plan to do everything in my power to get it to work on the shield, muahahhaa, butttttt.....
For Us Windows Users.... THERE IS AN AMAZING NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH WIN 11. I must investigate further, I'm updating my OS now... and hopefully in a few days I can prove my current theory, and share with you guys something Truly Magical in the World of Android, for both Windows and Linux Users.

anyone else who finds themselves on this Journey... I stepped on my shield and in doing so it bent the usb on for my nvidia controller. It also somehow shorted out the system. Lol. Anywho, In doing so, I tried to replace the usb cable with a crappy one I just had lying around and it did not work. I found a newer usb cable and it triggered the controller, so I theorized that since the ports are USB 3.0 or 3.1, not sure, the bootloader will only post with a usb 3.0+ Device. So in theory, any keyboard or controller usb 3.0 should work by holding a + b down

Hello.
Here is where I am at in "thinking outside the box".
So instead of trying to flash windows or ubuntu directly onto the nvidia's system partition, why not flash it to a portable drive?
So I am researching UEFI, Bootloaders, flashing, and volumes, particularly how they store and load data.
So I understand that windows requires it's hard disk to be formated to GPT.
My USB stick is MBR. I have a partioning software that can change the USB to GPT.
If anyone understands what I am talking about, can you reach out? I know this is possible, I know the answer is out there,

""Nvidia uses its own proprietary disk structure on its devices, which look like a modification of GUID partition table(GPT) with protective MBR. Most disk partitioning softwares are unable to read Shield TV's partitions because its primary header is overwritten with non-standard GPT format.
Here are list of disk paritioning software I tried and couldn't even read the disk at all: fdisk, GParted, KDE Partition manager, diskpart and Disk Management on windows. Of course, you may format the disk and rebuild partitions, but then it won't boot from Shield TV at all.
There are two softwares can read partially:
GNOME Disks - the default partition software for Ubuntu, however, could read the partitions IF you boot L4T from Shield TV. It won't work if you try from another computer. Also, it is still unable to modify partitions.
gdisk (GPT fdisk) - gdisk can read partition 2~33 from backup header. As you can see, 33rd partition is the one that holds most of 500GB storage. (462.5 GiB out of 465.66 GiB)""""

All the apps that originally worked, will still work. However, since this process involves flashing a new operating system, lineage, as opposed to the base, stock, operating system, android, you may have to reinstall your favorite apps like dolby
---There are many ways to flash your favorite apps, perhaps the easiest being a program called "send files to tv" you can install that on your phone and tv, then DL the app you want to send to the tv, like dolby, and within SFTTV, You can easily send the app.
You can also use my tools in the shieldrooot but SFTTV is a lot simpler for beginners

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to either inject a custom bootloader like Clover onto my Nvidia Shield, or to Modify the existing EFI bootloader itself or with a modification to a Recovery program such as TWRP in order to be able to use a custom bootloader to select "Boot From Usb"
I figure I oughta make a backup, but I do not know how to backup my bootloader either....
I think I understand how to look at the shield's partitions now to find the one with the bootloader, I'm just nervous to proceed...
I have been researching for a week and have learned amazing tidbits of knowledge on the sublayers of the shield, and a lot of its partitions...
I was able to install a custom OS, modified GAPPS, and root on my shield, I am just hung up on this final part....
If anyone who understands this would care to share even a bread crumb where to start, I Would Be Ever So Grateful

Hi @jenneh I know you're in the middle of a different train of thought, but since you are one of the most active members recently, I was hoping I could reach out for your help on two really important issues I'm having. I don't think that anyone has been able to get AI Upscaling to function after rooting, and it's one of my favorite features of the device. If you ever have time and are in the mood to crack this nut, I'd be both incredibly grateful and also willing to send like $30 your way.
On that note, I am also having a hell of a time trying to get the AdGuard CA certificate installed. I have tried every method I could find, but none of them seem to be compatible methods for this device. I will both send you an AdGuard lifetime license, and another $30 for this bounty. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! (Oh, and if you're interested in attempting these feats, please DM me. I'll reply with the AdGuard license in advance.)
One final important note: My device is running the new 9.0.0 update.

Even the new update 9.0.0 AI Upscaling not working after rooting...NSTV 2019 Pro
I tested but same problem Demo mode work only Enhanced Mode

Here's where I'm at now! I am in the Kernel! Not through ADB But instead On the shield Using Root Explorer to learn all of the shield's directories to find out where the hell the EFI drivers are to inject my new bootloader. I see many options pertaining to the upscaling that I can modify but I haven't got the slightest, what it is yall are trying to do. If someone can explain it better we can totally solve this.

Click to expand...

It's arm64 based so Raspberry PI 3B+ is supported. You can tweak the boot.conf a little to match your needs after flashing it to a usb or an sd card.
I've been using this on Raspberry Pi 4b for the last 2 weeks since they first posted there release on the Rasbian Forums. And I will say it's pretty good. I've been running it off of a 64gb Sandisk Cruizer USB. Besides a few glitches in the graphics while using my 4k Roku TV and the original mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter. I would say this is going to go far. I have lots of hopes for this OS!
For everyone who is trying to boot these builds from USB you can follow this:
Q: How to boot from USB device?
A: Warning, this is still an experimental feature. Especially TWRP seems to have some issues with USB boot.
Install EEPROM that supports booting from USB
Write image to your USB device as above
Mount the USB device on your computer and make following changes to /boot/config.txt under ‘Boot device’ section:
#dtoverlay=android-sdcard
dtoverlay=android-usb
Plug in the USB device to your Raspberry Pi, remove any sdcard, and boot

USB boot not working correctly. Every time need to change /boot/config.txt file to boot from USB!

Newbie here. I have just installed this on a 64gb sd card and using it on raspberry pi 4. BTW, big thanks to everyone involved in this. It looks and feels amazing to be able to do this on a raspberry pi. I have two questions if anyone can answer these.
1. I can't seem to be able to expand the userdata partition. I have expanded the main boot parition but that doesnt seem to be of any help. I still have only 5gb disk space when I check on the Prime OS.
2. How do I shut it down. I assume there is a way to shut it down before actually unplugging the rasppberry pi.
Thanks.

Okay so the Userdata can be expanded using another device. Or from the recovery image itself. I'm not sure if PrimeOS has a recovery mode by default. You can use this zip to flash to the devices recovery if it has one.

2. How do I shut it down. I assume there is a way to shut it down before actually unplugging the rasppberry pi.

You can shut it down by pressing F5 on your keyboard and holding it. But you can not boot it back up that way. You can check out one of his guides for setting up manual hardware keys here: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi4/LineageOS19/
@vontoff @mshs013 could either of you help me out a little and send me the `/boot/config.txt` I'm on some pretty bad wifi and I don't want to redownload the entire PrimeOS file just to see it. You may both also have to get the latest Raspberry Pi bootloader and flash it. Here's a simple guide on how to do that:
https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-bootloader/
Otherwise if your SD Card is still in the Raspberry Pi then you might have issues.
Last case scenario is that you're both telling me you're stuck in a bootloop because the `boot.config` isn't applying the changes to tell PrimeOS and the bootloader you're booting from USB.
I hope some of this works out for you any of you three. If you need more help feel free to ask.

How can i get root ?

I guess that's too low spec for it, flashed it a couple more times, just to make sure the SD card/USB was not the issue, but never loaded the OS. System not responding messages and reboot in a loop.
Judging by the other ROMs posted for Pi, probably a 2GB RAM minimum also applies to this one.

RPI400: fn+f10 does not work.
Normally a rpi400 can be powered on by fn+f10.
But when i shutting down primeos this does not work. I have to unplug and plug again to make it start.
How can i fix this ?
