oh that kind of shell. i thought you meant like the ui which is also known as the shell. nope nobody makes one. for the battery door clip to work it would need to be make out of something very sturdy and not too hard. it miht be hard to find the right type of clear platic for that. also you wouldnt see much with the battery door in place unless that was clear as well. it would be cool but it would take some pretty sophisticated molding for an accessory company and a strong yet flexable and wear resistant plastic.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pepi70:
I noticed that in Gallery there were a lot of strage images. Those images are saved attachments of an App, Touchdown by Nitrodesk.

I tried to copy a .nomedia file in the attachment directory of the app, but the Gallery program still scans and find pictures. It's annoying.

Anybody found this issue? Anybody is so kind to try to replicate this issue and reports?

Thanks!

Hey, I keep getting lots of text messages from Android saying that I have a VM. Has anyone else experienced that and how do I stop it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f0rged:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njonas01:
It happens on non-sense rom's. A suggestion i've seen is to download youmail from market and use it. It supposedly gets rid of the 9016 texts.

Send a text message to 9999 saying "block 9016", you should get a confirmation text telling you the number is blocked. To unblock, do the same, but instead text "unblock 9016". You can do this for any number.

what is backtrack?

uses?
[Xoom Android Development] renocivik:
But can our wireless go into monitor mode... can it inject? New to backtrack... but know what.it can do
[Xoom Android Development] blkr00t:
Whoa!!!

This is big...I'm going to do this immediately after I update to 3.1. Great job!!
[Xoom Android Development] nindoja:
It would depend on if the BT developers provided a driver that has monitor mode enabled. I have it installed but haven't investigated that yet. I do know that tcpdump is on the box, so at least you can monitor your own web traffic.

OP: You don't necessarily need to change the vnc password. It comes with a default password of "toortoor"
[Xoom Android Development] nindoja:
As an aside, I'm going to spend some time this week/weekend looking into getting this to run natively. I'm doubtful that it will work but you never know.

I do know they are using Tiamet 1.3.0 as the kernel they are running, so it's possible that this can be done with a good bit of work.
[Xoom Android Development] B Dizzle:
There is a slight error in your commands I believe. To change the VNC password it should be vncpasswd rather than vpnpasswd.

Port for me was 5902 btw. I was stumped until I looked at the tightvnc log.

Monitor mode does not appear to work and maybe some things have changed since Backtrack 3 but I couldn't locate aircrack-ng.
[Xoom Android Development] chesh420:
Thanks for this. Going to try it on my nook color tomorrow. If it works, ya mind if I x-post this in their dev forums?
[Xoom Android Development] anantshri:
The command should be vncpasswd.

also BT image already contains startvnc as a command which will start the vncserver for you.

I am working on porting BT image to Xperia X10 (thread marked in Sig.)
[Xoom Android Development] fauz33:
all of these steps work on all devices or just xoom only??
[Xoom Android Development] xMemphisx:
I haven't tested it on anything else yet, but like launching "Ubuntu" from chroot, it should work as long as your device has a fast enough processor. The only other phone I have to test this on would be my nexus one, but I haven't gotten around to actually testing it out yet. This installation cannot hurt your phone any, so feel free to give it a shot and post your results!

You're welcome to repost it, if it works, please just give me credit.

I really hope this arm distribution starts to take off, as I use the x86 all of the time on my laptop, and it would be great to have a completely functional tablet version... but they won't keep developing it if no one uses it.
[Xoom Android Development] clay_atx:
i have this installed as well.

to answer the above, this only works on the xoom and the atrix. it could work on other tegra 2 devices, but is unknown on stability and support. it was made pretty much for the xoom.

also, you cannot do any wifi attacks or injections, just the nature of the beast.

[Xoom Android Development] deadlineone:
Why i cannot scan for wireless network? The Console give me Back, the Adapter doesn't support scanning? Has anyone this Problem also?
[Xoom Android Development] daijizai:
I disagree. bootbt leaves /system mounted rw. If this thing then runs in a chroot, why does /system need to be rw?

At a bare minimum I feel that:

mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system

should be added to the end of the bootbt shell script to not leave your device vulnerable.
[Xoom Android Development] daijizai:
I cannot help but to think that the perfect device for this would actually be the HardKernel ODROID-A, not the Xoom.

Also, I doubt that, without USB host support, we will ever get a wireless interface capable of monitor mode and packet injection. The wireless chip in your device I don't ever expect to be able to be exposed to BT5.

Are you getting an error when running tightvncserver saying it's not running on screen 1 or whatever? There are lock files in /tmp/, the .X ones, type ls -a from /tmp/ and you'll see them. You have to remove the lock files and the .X11-whatever directory(which you have to delete all the files in it before you can rmdir it)...
[Xoom Android Development] bossjeeves:
packet injection will only be avl once custom drivers can be sideloaded into the session. It will happen eventually i am sure. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

you do not have to scroll and it fills out the remaining space

[Xoom Android Development] charos:
Ok, so packet injection is no go atm (wifi cannot even get into monitor mode). Do you think in the near future a usb host option can be implemented or it's just sci-fi wishful thinking?
[Xoom Android Development] bossjeeves:
I would say when it can run natively ie dual boot or something like that, and drivers can be loaded for the wireless card (assuming the card can even support packet injection) then it should work, if not I am sure someone will figure out something to make a usb wifi card work.
[Xoom Android Development] lpachuong:
how do you extend the space on backtrack? I ran out of space after installing OpenOffice :(
[Xoom Android Development] bossjeeves:
I am fairly confident that this is just like running a live CD, you should not be treating it like a full install, if you want a full install install it on a desktop or laptop. once you reboot your device you will most likely lose any info you installed anyways.
[Xoom Android Development] imbonez9:
Can someone tell me if indeed this is a "live cd" or something full. And if so has anyone got python and tor working on here yet?

so great!!!!

i try it when go at my home

one question

Backtrack is emulate in HoneyComb or it replace Honeycomb?

thx for your reponse
[Xoom Android Development] bossjeeves:
this is just a live CD that is booted from a VM runinng within HC.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
BUMP! I suggest keeping an eye on this thread... ;)
[Xoom Android Development] earl00:
why do you say that? :confused:
[Xoom Android Development] c0rnholio:
Sorry to correct you, but it is not like a Live-CD and not really a VM.

Backtrack (based on Ubuntu ARM distro) is installed in a Loop Filesystem Image. This image is copied to the device and is then started in a chroot environment. So this is more like a full install. Also all your changes will remain after a reboot. So if you install something in the chrooted Backrack it will of course be there if you start it the next time.
[Xoom Android Development] bossjeeves:
thanks for clarifying, I thought I was sure it was just like loading the live CD, because you can save changes in a live CD too but the minute you power off it will be gone. I figured that it was just saving the session in a hibernated state if, you will, like a VM but in chroot.
[Xoom Android Development] earl00:
Is it possible to plug a injection wifi card via USB host mode into the xoom and have backtrack use it in monitor mode?
[Xoom Android Development] Stumpsalot:
The ARM version of Ubuntu is able to be installed in nvflash and can run natively on any tablet/device that uses the nvidia tegra2. Is there a way to install the ARM BT5 the same way? I've been trying a few ways but the bt5.img always gives me an nvflash 0x8 error after a little over a gig is transferred. The UDA and UBT partitions I have set at 8 GB and still no luck. Being able to run BT5 natively would be much easier than the ARM Ubuntu since there are none of the tools pre-installed and trust me it takes quite a bit of time to get the arm versions all installed. Currently I have both of my tablets (Xoom and ASUS Transformer) running Ubuntu natively.
[Xoom Android Development] earl00:
have you been able to install an external wifi card with the native install? By the way, which tablet do you prefer on a day to day basis?
[Xoom Android Development] Stumpsalot:
I like the transformer for my pentesting just because I can use it as a netbook. Tablet stuff I prefer the xoom. Currently I am using an Alfa USB wifi card in the native install. I had to load the drivers manually bit works great.
[Xoom Android Development] earl00:
Surely its easier to run it via chroot and install your wifi card driver in bt5 chroot. This way you can easily get back to honeycomb goodness since dualboot is not an option and honeycomb native browser is a better experience??

Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Xoom Android Development] Stumpsalot:
You can dual boot using either cwm or just set one to boot as the recovery. Its just not the most ideal way to boot for most. With the chroot the issue I have using USB wifi is that the USB host is still handled by honeycomb. When I get back to computer I will link post on how to install in emmc.
[Xoom Android Development] Stumpsalot:
To install ubuntu in the eMMC (nvflash) follow the directions here. Everything works pretty much the same and currently this can only be done from linux. I have a very basic one that can work from windows but it is for advanced users only.

Thanks for the link. Will need to load up my Ubuntu vm and try to install onto my xooms emmc. Pitty about not being able to install the wifi card in chroot.
[Xoom Android Development] Stumpsalot:
It is frustrating. The post that I linked isn't the best how-to guide but leads in the general area. If you want to keep clockwork mod the link here has directions on dual booting using it. If I get a chance I will write up something for the xoom specifically.

Yes you can! I've been sidetracked with a couple side projects but this is why I bumped the thread. I've ran monitor mode with a netlink and a Alfa dongle. My goal however is to run some of the security binaries like aircrack natively.

[Xoom Android Development] earl00:

[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Solarnz just got his dlink in the mail. I know he's started some work on a few things. Ill ask if we can drop a kernel with some modules so some of you guys can play some.

UPDATE: Ok guys, here is something to play with just for now

http://goo.gl/H7OZJ

md5: 8b66c37a5bb618d02ec9b27184a3ee83

Tachi 2.1 stock with rtl818x driver modules.

Understand clearly, this is for guys and gals that already know what they are doing. I am offering absolutely ZERO tech support on this. This will work on Netgear WG111v2 and various Alfa dongles. I will offer this. To get the driver installed, first disable wifi or

rmmod bcm4329

then, to install driver

modprobe rtl8187

then to confirm installation was successful

lsmod

you should see the entire compat wireless stack installed

then go into BT shell and

iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor

then

iwconfig wlan0

to confirm monitor mode. That is all I can do for now. But rest assured, more to come. BTW if you post up your chipset, I "may" be able to cook more modules up. :rolleyes::cool:;):D

UPDATE2: Ok just one more quicky, and that's all. Go into BT shell with normal wifi on. Then:

cd /home
mkdir downloads
cd downloads
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.0d-3_armel.deb
dpkg -i libssl1.0.0_1.0.0d-3_armel.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/aircrack-ng/aircrack-ng_1.1-1.1+b1_armel.deb
dpkg -i aircrack-ng_1.1-1.1+b1_armel.deb

Then exit BT shell and install the rtl8187 driver. Go back into BT shell and:

aireplay-ng --test wlan0

BTW, we are absolutely not concerned with the vnc aspect of this thing. But, not my thread :rolleyes:

[Xoom Android Development] stlsaint:
is busy box required still....

EDIT INITIAL POST: So i solved my first issue but i am still getting "Permission Denied" in my terminal upon running su on my 3G xoom. I am fully rooted and running the Tiamat ROM 2.2!! Cant seem to figure out where im lacking here...i used root checker from market to verify my busybox install and even used busybox installer to verify version. Not sure what im missing here. Although when using adb shell i am able to run "su" and run sh bootbt just fine.

UPDATE:Although colors look horrible I did get up and running. Seemed to be a issue with terminal emulator program for not granting such permissions.
[Xoom Android Development] stlsaint:
I also get this error, this just means that the server was started on a different port than the 5900 or (5901 in your case) you can still connect to the server via androidvnc using port 5902 and all user and password(if you set one...i just used toortoor from default). It gets annoying if you stop the server and try again as you will continue to go higher and higher in number unless you delete that file which i have yet been able to find!!!:mad:

[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
Its sounds like you need the latest busybox. Just install Moray 2.2.1 then flash the kernel from my post. Seems like folks are having difficulty with the install process. Ill see if I can come up with a flashable solution. Flash - startbt - start_mon. That would be much better :)
[Xoom Android Development] earl00:
Great. That did the trick. Was able to have stock wifi (wlan0) and Alfa wifi in monitor mode (wlan1) running at the same time. Downloaded wifite and working in chroot.

Just had a few questions when you get a sec.

1. Is there a way to open 2 or more chroot terminal sessions without loading vnc GUI - would be nice to run multiple chroot terminal windows. Everytime Ive tried to open a new window while chroot it opens a local session window.

2. I still need to test but I'm sure it works but have you been able to connect to an AP with external wifi card and browse locally in honeycomb?

3. When in chroot and xoom goes to sleep on wake the chroot terminal freezes and is unresponsive, have you come across thatn

Thanks again - awesome work.
