You just answered your own question :)

I wouldn't call it a 'trick' though.. Just a tactical decision.. And while you're right that it's one of "out with the old, in with the new" phenomenon, in this case "the new" is not Nexus Prime but SGS II :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevvibot:
hey hey. so. my phone is being really difficult right now (and has been for a while). currently, i am using leogingerbread v0.9.7. what's goin on, is that it reboots ALL the time. while doing basically anything. i can't use the internet on 3g at all really, or else it reboots. using it on wifi is fine for some reason. also, texting causes it to reboot, and so does charging. and it doesn't just reboot once, it reboots multiple times every time. i kinda think it may be overheating, but i'm not sure. i am going to try my hardest to get a logcat, but as of right now, i can't even use my phone.....

any clues at all? or do i just need to pitch my phone haha

--edit--

ya, i can't get a logcat. tried installing the program, and it crashes. can't get it from command line either. >>

Read my signature, look for "Unroot/restore" guide, execute.

Keep the system stock and try using it.

If it will exhibit the same symptoms - then it's a HW problem.

I we could get our wifi card into monitor mode --> awesome!!!!

Thanks to z3nful & everyone made this possible!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Enjoy everyone :D

The next release is going to be faster, stabler, and more useful :)

I'm also working on a round-about way for packet injection and monitor mode

Stay tuned ;)

Are you trying to patch the wifi drivers ? =D
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] rastadoof:
Holy crap.....this is a dream in the making :) Bring on monitor mode and packet injection :)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] white-energy:
I've done some researches.. and found out that many devs have tried making the driver to work on the Monitor mode.. but they failed to do that.

It looks to me that Backtrack on HD2 is kinda useless.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Not useless, just last night I ganked my roommates computer with my phone ;)

As far as monitor mode and injection go, sadly, they may be right that its not possible, but I got some ideas that may make it work, I just need to hammer out some kinks in BT first :)

And who needs monitor when you can fakeAP?

Next release is going to be even better :) this 5gig image is almost full, so I'm going to expand it to 6gig, along with instructions on how to expand your own image if that's to large or want even more space.

Btw, Wine should be good to go in the next one ;)

hope you don't mind that....
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Not at all, I've been trying to track down your name again so it can add you to the credits part, as the basis of the scripts was yours lol, I just changed the loops and mounting structures around a bit, and added some stability checks.

The scripts for this image are slightly out of date but I got new ones going up once I have time :) they should fix a few of the small eerrors people get while mounting :)

My next version is a little ways out (works gotten crazy busy lately) but it'll be out eventually :)

Not Booting!

Hi Thank you for sharings this up!!! this is like a dream for alot of people.

i have followed all your steps but i have a problem when i run the scripts, the folders dont get created because when i run go i get a bounch of folder not found.

my SD card had some differences is a 16GB

with

Fat32

Ext-sd/ EXT2 -->1GB

EXT3 --> 100MB

EXT4 --> 6.5GB

could this setup causing the script to look on the wrong partitions? i have alot of time with out playing with Shell scripting but i would like to know if that is the place i should start looking for a fix :D
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
-edit- just double checked (forgot scripts were on my phone... its been a long week lol) and you should just need to change the mount -t ext4 /dev/block/vold/179:3 to /dev/block/vold/179:4

Also, did you run the new mkdirectory script? If you have the one packaged with the image its out of date. The attachment on the fist post has the updated ones :)

Ignore all mmcblk's :p

For another "buffer" partition, you need t point the sdcard parts (mmcblk0p* and vold/179:*) to what yours are in /dev/block. In your case I think you just need to change any vold/179:3 to 179:4. If you go to /dev/block/vold it will have folders from each partition (they are numbered 0 and up, but 1 would be your fat32, 2 is ext2 so on and so forth) :)

When I'm near my computer ill figure out the full ones for you :p

I have figured out a much better mounting procedure that frees up space issues (no more .img) ill put the scripts and process up for it sometime today, hopefully ill have the rootfs up and going again shortly.

Works been crazy, but I'm trying to catch back up on my side projects :P

would love some tips to get mysqld running in BT5 ARM...
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Lots of coffee, outdated MySQL packages, and use the preconfigured image as a guide. Sorry, It was the first thing I setup 2 months ago, and to be honest, I can't remember anything about how I did it.

Im currently working on making the whole OS smaller so it can fit on vfat with my modifications. Problem is, some packages installed were empty dummies to make things work (Hack job workaround,but it works.) So trimming the fat is kinda tricky.

If possible, I highly recommend doing the third partition on your sdcard, not only do you get more space to work with, it also allows for more changes to configurations, like everything in the .config folder.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
Well done z3nful.

Would it be possible to run this from an SD Android ROM via VNC.

Thanks
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Hmmmm never actually tried it from SD android before. Ill look into it over the few days and see what I can come up with :)

Hey, as you already dig on dist, do you know if i run and update, upgrade or dist-upgrade does the bt get corrupted? I motive bettter GUI and icons but the iptables mess up. Any idea why that happen?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
If you want to run any full upgrades like that, most of it should be safe, but last time I tried it broke the gnome terminal and a few other small, but core, packages. Everything else was good though. Just make sure to read what it wants to remove before accepting. Anything gnome- that is removed and not replaced, MUST be kept, or instabilty will occur.

In the system root, there should be a few different packages for the terminal, I put them there when I broke it myself lol. If it breaks, remove the current ones through synaptic, and install those.

Personally, I've put this project on hold cause of work (and I've gotten fascinated with my new android tablet lol) ill still keep an eye on this thread and help out where I can though :)

sd card question

Have anyone found a way to comunicate sd phone with backtrack . I heard it will crash the phone.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
What do ya mean? Like running it from sdcard android build? I haven't tooken the time to try it that way to be honest.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] Robbie P:
I tried it but kept getting double loops, and my android build used the ext2 partition.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] masterchop:
I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly.

I would like to know if the is a way move files between de bt filesystem and the phone filesystem. I'm not able to see any phone data or visversa.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Ahhh OK, easy day to do that is while your in your phones terminal. You can cd to the directory where bt is mounted (/data/core I think it is) and copy the via terminal. Another way is to copy the files while in bt to the sdcard (script should have mounted it at /sdcard while within bt) and then pull them using a a file manager :)

If you were to mount the phones root or system to inside bt though, there's a good chance something can go wrong, esspecially if bt isn't unmiunted properly
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] masterchop:
Thanks! that worked! mine was on different location but looking at the mounting Script show the right place :D

I have another question to the community in regards the HTTP deamon.

I try to enable the HTTP server and the port just dont start the service and everything looks ok, I tried the same config file on another backtrack and they worked.

anyone has found a solution to this or had the same problem?

THank you!
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alpinemobile:
I am running AmeriCan Android from SD and tried to install BT5 for HD2.

I made bt5img.img in linux. Copied it to sdcard\BT5 along with the scripts

ran sh mkcore from the phone terminal with the following output:

creating directory structures

copying scripts to /data/linux

cp: write error: no space left on device

mkcore line 67: can't open min_mem no such file

mkcore line 104: syntax error: unexpected end of file (expecting "fi")

Is it necessary to install in phone memory? I though this could also be run from SD.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
In the mkcore script, remove the if statement containing the min_men value, that should get you through the rest of the core stuff.

It's also showing that your out of space on your /data partition. Free up a bit of space and it should be good

I haven't had any chance to test this on SD rom, but I can definatly help with any trouble shooting.

As far as development for this goes, I'm afraid I've had to put it on hold until further notice, as life comes before fun :P
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alpinemobile:
I'm actually running out of space, so removing the min_mem statement won't do any good.

For the SD android everything is stored in a 1GB data.img file located in sdcard/Android/data.img.

I'm actually not sure if I can increase the size of this file, because I have't seen any SD build with the data.img file larger than 1GB.

Edit: How much space is needed for the mkcore script to complete?
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
With the spot its failing at, its when copies > 20kb to /data/Linux (just the scripts). The swap space stuff is after the min_men part (which has an issue with its if statement that I never took the time to sort out.

I've never been a fan of the sdcard builds, but if you use the dd command along with whichever mkfs.* is used by your build, you -should- be able to increase it. Emphasis on should, lol
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alpinemobile:
I was running out of space, because I was running the scripts from the same folder as the .img , thus copying itself to phone memory.

Anyway I gave up on the .img way and tried the Fresh install on EXT4 Sdcard partition.

I have repartition my SD card like this:

fat32 primary 10gb

ext2 primary .5gb

ext4 primary 5gb.

On the fat32 partition i have /Android (my android build) and /scripts (unpacked attached scripts).

Ext2 is empty.

Ext4 has the .zip unpacked in root. looks like: /bin, /boot, /dev ....../var

Busybox is installed.

Started terminal and did the following:

su

cd /sdcard/scripts

sh mkcore

(mkcore output follows)

I checked and the ext4 partition is mounted correctly.

hi man !! AWESOME work once i booted backtrack on xperia x10i...it was awesome but without monitor mode :(..any news about monitor mode here ? or still? if u need anything to test i offer my HD2 just tell me what to do
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Getting monitor mode working is a long (maybe impossible) process for this chip set.

What needs to be done for it is patching the firmware with the monitor code, which requires ALOT of trial and error, some of which can burn out the chip.

Its one of my current projects (along with about 75 others lol) but to be honest, I haven't had much time to invest into it yet...

When I got some info or something to test, I'll post about it here :) (may be a long time though)
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alpinemobile:
I have installed hyperdroid in nand and finally managed to install bt5 by following "1. Fresh install on EXT4 Sdcard Partition".

- Is this bt5 build, command line only ? Is there a GUI similar to Ubuntu for HD2?

- When I try running it as VNC , I get the following output:

'MySQL started.

You will require a password to access your desktops.

Password too short.'

What now? What am I missing? What is supposed to happen now?

Thanks.
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
it's supposed to prompt for a password when one isn't found, check that HOME=/root and it should be good.

25% of the time when im working on arm systems i get that error, for some reason that i havent been able to track down, vncpasswd will not accept input and just skip through. One other thing to try is to do (in backtrack) find ./ | grep .vnc and copy the passwd file to what your current home directory is
[HD2 Ubuntu Development] alpinemobile:

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
I havent had any time at all to work on monitor mode for the BCM4329 chip (yet). once one of my employees gives back my HD2 ill be taking another crack at it :) (i know i have devices with bcm4329, but as im most familiar with the HD2, its my dev platform)

For those of you having issues with the vncserver not starting, these files should help abit.

This fixed the "password too short" error in 80% of my systems that gave this error. For the other 20%, im still looking into it :)

Http://www.hookupcellular.com/Android/vncsettings.tar.gz

Copy these files into your .vnc folder in your home directory. If it works, it will reset the vncpasswd to "toortoor." This was pulled from my main Backtrack system on my sensation, but it should work none-the-less.

Easy way-

Download vncsettings file, open command terminal, type:

cp /yourdownloaddirectory/vncsettings.tar.gz /path/to/your/chroot/root/.vnc/

[HD2 Ubuntu Development] z3nful:
Its a work in progress :)

I'm not working on the driver personally, but i have been keeping up with the bcm module source at bcmon.blogspot.com.

I've successfully compiled the driver for Android a few times, but my HD2 hasn't been playing nicely with iwconfig, so i havent tested the monitor mode yet. Once i have something solid, itll appear on here :)

The module loads up fine in Android, but it likes to stay connected to wifi points, even if you go miles away, so the module source is still a bit buggy.

Im currently not working on this Backtrack image project due to time constraints, but sometime in the future it will be worked on again :)

Thanks Robbie for the information about the Desire, which set of aircrack tools are you using? I couldn't get them to work properly last time I tried, as wifi would break when it started scanning.

Ill look into porting Ubuntu Touch across. It shouldn't be too hard, as Ubuntu runs the same way as this image, its mainly just the Android ROM base that was changed to load directly into the OS. I was on the verge of installing it last night onto my Nexus 4, but my phone runs my business, so alot of the non working features I need unfortunately.

Thanks Sathara for the link. It seems ubuntuphone only works for cm10.1 and we have wifi problems using that, due, I think, to bcmdhd support in kernel.

Which is strange. Also AFAIK .35 kernels don't work with haret booting on sd and native sd builds)

I've just upgraded to Skype 2.0.0.47 on my SGS2 and on my girlfriends ZTE Blade, but are having some issues.

1. Where on earth do you change the status of Skype? It should be, and probably is, dead-easy to switch.

2. Is there an easy way to exit the application, short of force-close?

3. Can you prevent Skype from auto-starting constantly, even after force-close? The Skype issue page for this version states:

Skype is auto-starting after sign-out / force close:

Skype is a "search provider" type of application. As a consequence of this, the default behavior of the Android platform is to try to restart the application if it crashes or the user does a force close. Skype does not auto-start itself after signing out of Skype.

Surely it can't be that stupid? When I close an app, I expect it to stay closed. This is especially relevant with Skype and it always starts with the status set to online, no matter what the last know status was (another bug).

Appreciate any insight on this, thanks!
