Ubuntu/Debian install for Slide

Ok so the ubuntu install now works on slide credit goes to eratosthene he updated all the files to make it work all other credit goes to the dev’s listed on the links provided. FYI this was tested on eugenes latest froyo rom.
1. Go to http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-your-nexus-oneandroid/ download the ubuntu.zip file .
2. Unzip to a location on your pc to a folder named ubuntu.
3. Download the ubuntu-slide-v2 from here.
4. Unzip the ubuntu-slide-v2 to the same folder you used in step 2.
5. Create a ubuntu folder on the root of your sdcard .
6. Connect your Slide to the pc verify debugging enabled and storage disabled.
7. Adb push the files in the ubuntu folder to the /sdcard/ubuntu.
8. Then adb shell.
9. cd /sdcard then sh ubuntu.sh
Note: At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt
10. sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu
11. you should now see [email protected]:/#
Note : install completed only do the following if you want to access ubuntu from android vnc app.
12. apt-get update
13. apt-get install tightvncserver
14. export USER=root
15. vncserver -geometry 480x320
16. • Run the android-vnc-viewer app and specify localhost port 5901 .
UPDATE: This is not working on CM 6 , I'm not sure why please help if you know .

That would be sooooo coool
Sent From My HTC Espresso Running Froyo Thanks to eugene373

Tried it but the install fails , may be the script or may be rights to edit the files im not that good with linux yet so im not sure .

Ok thanks, any help would be apriciated . If we can get a procedure that works ill write up a step by step for everyone and maybe make a video how to also.

Just guessing but it's probably because we don't have rw access to /system.
Until we get an unlocked bootloader it ain't happenin...
I could be completely way off though

I think you are right , if i rember most the errors where do to access issue's with files in the system folder. If it is the bootloader what would need to be done to " unlock " it ?

An OTA update would unlock it.

So once we get the froyo ota we should be able to follow the same process as the nexus one then ?

i would say "unlikely," i dont see how an ota would unlock the bootloader in any fashion. but i guess he might have been referencing the possibility of someone using the new ota to create an unlocked bootloader. the whole "how could the bootloader be unlocked," question bothers me, i never seem to get a straight answer

Once there is an official OTA devs will be able to extract the keys needed to properly sign files I believe.

I thought the engineering build had an unlocked boot loader on it and once we flashed it that was that ?

Here's an updated zip for you guys. The process is generally the same as on the above-linked nexus one version, I just changed the scripts to move a few files to different places. You'll need to download ubuntu.zip from that post as well. Summary:
unzip ubuntu.zip somewhere
unzip ubuntu-slide.zip in the same place, replace all the files
make a directory called 'ubuntu' on your sdcard
adb push all the files in the zip to that directory
adb shell
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
At this point, the scripts are now located in /data/local/bin and the mount point is /data/local/mnt
sh /data/local/bin/bootubuntu
You're now chrooted into the ubuntu install. Have fun.

Thanks going to try it now !!!

This is some other script messed up when bin wasn't there and ended up creating a file called bin instead of it being a directory.
rm /data/local/bin

What rom are you using? It looks like you don't have the ext3 module built into your kernel. I set my scripts up to use ext3 (more reliable, I really don't care that it eats into the life of my sd card), but many roms only have ext2. You might try uncommenting the first line of bootubuntu, and changing the ext3 to ext2 on line 10.

[Help] problems with current ROM + trouble going back to stock Froyo or similar

Hello guys.
Once again I need your help.
Following my last thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847320
(AKA "Help! no SD recognition, USB link doesn't work and no signal!")
After taking martijn_bakker's and ianmufc's advice regarding how to issue the correct command from fastboot:
- My phone regained sd functionality.
- My phone had proper signal again.
- BUT I still have USB issues, AND more:
I am currently running Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 for HTC Desire, and I have the following issues:
- When I try to go back to the stock Froyo, or anything that resembles it really (LeeDroid for example), my signal goes bananas: When I try to call anyone, it rings the person, then "ends" the call, only to bring it back again after a few seconds and then disconnect again.
I've also tried different radios (including the one LeeDroid recommended) to no avail.
So basically I cannot make calls with the original ROM.
- USB: When I connect my phone to my PC it charges it, BUT my PC doesn't recognize it, and I cannot transfer files between the SD card and the PC, or sync etc.
- I've got no Bluetooth! (Not sure if this is a Cyanogenmod issue or not though)
- Phone turns off when released from electricity charging (Doesn't happen with PC USB charging though).
The thing is I really didn't mind the original Froyo 2.2 ROM, infact I like it very much. I really like the HTC Sense features and the weather+clock widget with the animations.
The only reason I ever rooted my phone was to get apps2sd on it, so I don't keep running out of space when installing new apps. But I never even got that to work...
My question to you guys is how can I fix my current problems and have a properly working HTC Desire with a stock/custom Froyo ROM (that can make phone calls ) with apps2sd on it?
Thanks in advance!
Liran

First how have you been getting stock on your phone? Have you tried the ruu? If you are zip flashing have you wiped everything? Go to recovery wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, advanced then wipe dalvik cache, back button, mounts then wipe everything except sd-card. Make sure you wipe sdext. Then try to flash.

Well as you still don't have usb-connectivity, it sounds like you need to continue on the usb-brick fix. You have issued the command, which let you use the sd-card again. Now you just need to write a new misc partition as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
Doing this should make your phone work like it used to, as this is the only thing that is not fixable by flashing another rom if you need some help on it, i might be able to help, but in short terms, you need to flash a misc image, which have the right values, as the one on your phone have been changed in some way. The image is provided in the thread.
edit: and for god's sake do not try to run a ruu, as flashing the misc image might require root, and you may not be able to regain root without usb-connectivity. Also an ruu does not overwrite the misc partition, so it won't help your problem.
edit2: also you should try flashing a new radio that is known to work like 5.09.05.30_2 just to make sure this isn't also causing problems. It should be possible from a zip file using recovery.

TBH I don't exactly know what RUU is. I've heard it before but I'm not sure exactly what it means.
When I said I flashed the stock Froyo I meant this: Official_FroYo_2.10.405.2
and I also tried LeeDrOiD_v2.2f_A2SD.
Regarding the wipes I've done everything you wrote above to no avail.

Thanks mate I will try that.
One thing I forgot to mention though - My phone is S-ON.
I'm not sure if it used to be S-OFF or not though.
Does that make any difference or does it not matter?

Hum. I appologize I never had a USB brick (knock in wood) so I assumed his problem would be in the rom possibly something he did while fixing the USB brick.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

It does make a difference yes, but you doesn't need s-off for this. It would just make it a whole lot easier. But just get your CID like described in the thread and change the misc image to this. Then flash it like described
edit:
dennis: np something else is wrong as well, but fixing the usb is very urgent, and the other problem should be fixable by running a ruu or simply flashing a new radio+rom afterwards.

A bit stuck... Here is what I've done:
1. Got the CID.
2. Got a hex editor. wrote the new CID instead of the one in the img file. Saved it.
3. I put the new img file and flash_image.zip in the /data on my sd card.
I Put the card in my phone, started my phone, opened Terminal Emulator and typed in "/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img" (without the quotes of course). the phone said: "/data/flash_image: not found".
What am I doing wrong?

Well you should not have a /data folder on your sd card it is a partition on the phone. In order to put it there, save the 2 files in the root of the sd-card and issue those commands in a terminal emulator:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
As written in the thread, you might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image) but try to do it without those
Then you should be able to run the command you specified in the previous post
Edit: and the reason you got the error before was of course, that your files was in /sdcard/data and not in /data

Actually, should it not be like this:
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
Reboot.

Masdroid: Yes exactly apart from that he apparently didn't have the files on the sdcard root

Using a file manager on my phone, I put both files on the root of my SD card.
I then issued the following commands using Terminal Emulator:
su
(granted)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
Phone says: /sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory
I should mention that I took out the card and connected it to my PC again to confirm the files have actually gone onto the root of the SD card (and they have), put the SD card back in my phone, issued the same commands in Terminal Emulator and got the same message...
Any ideas?

Sounds strange, just to make sure. You have unzipped the flash_image, so that it is not the flash_image.zip you have on you sd-card.
Also run "ls /sdcard" in terminal emulator to see a list of the files in the root and check, that it's there, and do not have a file extension. If it's there and the name is "flash_image" then it should work.

[GUIDE]Swap Internal Memory to External & Vice Versa

The Xperia M sure packs a lot in such a small device, but then, does it pack enough internal memory to install a huge number of applications? It does not. With just a little over 2 GB, it is very cumbersome to find that you cannot download data for large games. This guide aims to resolve that issue. Although it is not very user friendly at the moment (it requires you to type a few lines on the phone), I will get back to creating a script that you can execute this weekend.
Note: This guide requires you to be rooted. For rooting, you can follow this guide.
Step 1: Setting up stuff
Find and download a suitable file explorer that allows you to modify and browse system files. I recommend Root Explorer. (Optional)
Download and install Terminal Explorer from the Google Play Store.
Download and install Script Manager from the Google Play Store. (Optional)
Step 2: Walking the path
Open Terminal Emulator and type in
Code:
su
Your root manager should request you for permission. Grant the app superuser permission.
Type in
Code:
vold
Press enter
Type in
Code:
mount -t vfat -o umask:0000,uid=1000,gid=1023 /dev/block/vold/179:33 /storage/sdcard0
Press enter.
Type in
Code:
mount -o bind /data/media /storage/sdcard1
Press enter.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And, that's it! You're almost done. Go to Settings > Storage and check the internal and external storage to see that they have been mounted. You can now install huge games and enjoy them on your M. This is a temporary workaround until this weekend as I will write a script to automate this once my exams are over. If anyone else wants to do it, they're welcome to!
Note: You will have to type this again every time you reboot the device. A bit cumbersome, but I hope you can hold on till the weekend.

I will need your help for that. If you can use ADB and pull these files for me and zip and upload here, it would certainly be very helpful.
Pull the folder "/dev/block/vold"
Open Terminal Emulator that you downloaded and run these scripts
Code:
cat /proc/partitions > partitions
Press enter
Code:
mount > mount
Then, on the computer, open a command prompt window (or terminal on Linux) and type in
Code:
adb pull /partitions
Code:
adb pull /mount
Put these two files in the zip along with the vold folder and post them here. I will look into it and provide you the guide.

Perhaps you aren't rooted. That is why the script in the OP didn't work for you either.
When you type in su in the terminal, do you get any prompt on your phone?
Or perhaps it could be that you haven't rooted the device completely. You need busybox for making any operations on the ~/ partition.

Have you used root fixer? As mentioned by the OP of the root thread? If you have ES File Explorer, just try mounting the system partition as r/w over there. If it reboots immediately, then you aren't rooted properly yet.

If I understand right the command will create the files "partitions" and "mount" directly into the root path that's why it claims "r/o file system"
try
Code:
cat /proc/partitions > [COLOR="Red"]/sdcard/[/COLOR]partitions
and pull it on your computer then with
Code:
adb pull [COLOR="red"]/sdcard/[/COLOR]partitions
same with "mount"
this should create those files into the sdcard which is not read only.

STEPS TO EXECUTE
1) Download script
2) place it in SD card and open any Explorer in which you can change permissions.
3) Go where you have placed script and change its permission (Thick all the boxes)
4) Execute it.
But it will last till a reboot only
Simple Way
1) Download script manager from play store
2) Execute script with it and tick the boot,su option and tick it is executable.
Your memory is swapped

I'll add it to the op soon. BTW, if you place the script in /data folder and set it to rw-r--r--, it will be easier. That way, the script won't be in the wrong drive after it's been switched.

No it will not work unless all the options are ticked on permission setting.

Throw an "su" command in the shell before anything else. It will only work if you're rooted.

I don't really get it how to connect via shell to my watch. Is it the same as installing apk's over adb bluetooth debugging bridge?
Could you provide further instructions how to install the update manually?
Thanks!

Is your watch rooted? If not, you can't do it

No further questions thanks!

Go into a shell on the watch with su and...

mv /sdcard/98cdf4ca90c4693edd379d67cdcf86e283058b81.signed-metallica-LWX48P-from-KNX01S.98cdf4ca.zip /cache/98cdf4ca90c4693edd379d67cdcf86e283058b81.signed-metallica-LWX48P-from-KNX01S.98cdf4ca.zip

Worked (almost) perfect! Except, the "mv" command caused it to error out with "Invalid Arguement:Cross-Device Link" (Due to the implementation of blocked cross device linking with the mv command, bypassable by just cp'ing) Just replaced it with "cp" and the problem was solved.
Though this has already been said, the 4.4w1 insecure boot.img no longer roots 5.0.1. Probably due to incompatibilliuies, I'll work up a new rooted boot.img this weekend. Sadly looks like its going to require flashing the boot.img, not just booting it.

How do you go on a shell on your watch?

You have to have the bootloader unlocked and rooted hooked up via Modded USB cable. Then use the super tool script iin the dev section to install drivers for fastboot. Then back out to that folder make sure you not clicked on anything right click anywhere I think but I right click on the fastboot file while holding the SHIFT key and open in command window the type adb devices to make sure you hooked up right and you have accepted it on your phone Witch you must click accept the adb on your phone to accept the computer access. Once you know your hooked up right type adb shell and boom there you go.

having some trouble.
I've got shell, and then su, i've got a prompt with #
Tried the mv command, and like that other guy, got a cross link error. So i tried cp instead of mv, and now get no such file or directory...
I should mention I'm doing this from adb on Windows. Am I missing something??

Try this its what worked for me
coming from KNX01S, but I keep running into "Status 7" with the stock recovery and "Error executing updater script" with TWRP. Anybody have any better luck flashing this?
SOLVED!: I removed the get prop lines in the beginning of the update script and sideloaded in TWRP!
If anybody would like the modified package it can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...360/update.zip
This was not my fix only copied and pasted

That Dropbox link seems to be down, do you still have that modified TWRP zip?
Found the original post, here's the original link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9407677/Moto 360/update.zip
Looks like the link text got shortened when copying/pasting, but it's all good now! Thanks for sharing!

or
mv HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3 HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3.bak /system/customize/resource;
file is located in /system/customize/resource in htc m8
(2)
aim-add a new line media _rw to get sd card write access
sed -e '/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >$/N;s/\n\(\([ \t]*\)<group gid="sdcard_rw".*$\)/\n\2<group gid="media_rw" \/>\n\1/' -i /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
file is located in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml in htc m8
(3)
and this also not working
aim-rename a string in build prop
sed -i 's/ro.product.device=htc_m8/ro.product.device=htc_One/g' /system/build.prop;
sed -i 's/ro.build.product=htc_m8/ro.build.product=htc_One/g' /system/build.prop;
file is located in /system/build.prop in htc m8
(4)
is there any editor to find coding mistakes in .sh programs which we run in update zip
(5)
how to rename a system file call ime.apk to ime.apk.bak by a shell and by edify want to know both ways
file is located in /system/app/ime/ime.apk in htc m8

bootloader-unlocked
security status-S-off
recovery i use-twrp 2.8.7.0.
i already post it in question answer thread but no luck:crying:

to be honest, i havent looked at your script code, but if you're changing things in the /system partition you'll need to mount the partition first, twrp usually doesnt mount system by default,
and also be careful about the 2.8.7 series, even if mounting, it may only mount is as read only (if it's a stock system partition)

easiest way, is to test it in an "adb shell"
but briefly looking at the various things, your point (3) about device/product isnt the best idea imho.... someone using "automated apps", such as flashify or whatever, may end up with a brick there

sure no problem,
depending on the app and how it reads the information, it may even get the partition correct, but would likely still mess up... for example, I tested an app quite a while ago (can't remember which), I changed the build.prop to look like an M8 on my M7, it got the M7 recovery partition correct, but downloaded the M8 recovery ... oops
