And the rom should be at the root of my folder just like when I did the dual boot installation right? I did that :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrevankyle:
You can also just download a NVFlashable rom and extract the zip file. in the folder that you just extracted run nvflash.exe while your tablet is plugged in in apx mode.

Spearker issue, and any other ubuntu issue won't find any answer here, as the ubuntu files are from lilstevie's thread in DEV section.

For questions, there is a separate thread in Q/A section
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sustantivo:
Okay so i did this and worked fine, but when i goto boot into ubuntu it says the reebooting in one second. I've tried countless times to re try it but it never works. Sometimes even a boot loop :/ should i try re install? Wipe data etc
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] giuvilas:
does this tool work also for B80 models?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] godsosall:
it works with SBK1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] giuvilas:
Thx for the answer. Is there a way how to see the SBK version? i suppose i have version 2 or something.just because i wasn't able to run the NVflash tool.

i'll be waiting :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SomethinAmazinn:
When ever i double click the extracted NVflash.exe, a command prompt comes up, then proceeds to quickly close. then nothing happens.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
You have SBK v2
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
how long is this supposed to take? I've been sitting here on the "uploading ubuntu" prompt on the tool for over an hour now. yes i know its got to upload 4gb file but its usb2 not a serial port!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] armstrom:
Did you ever get past the uploading ubuntu stage? Mine is sitting at that prompt for a long time as well. I have used NVFlash in the past to deploy images and don't remember it taking this long.

If yall need the links still i can put it back up. I didnt think my tool was that popular lol. But i guess it is. Ill put it back up and update the main post to reflect the new links.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hanybv:
Great work frankC123, I will wait for your next release when the default OS will be the prime or revolver ;-) Good Job ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tw39515:
hell ya it is dude, thanks a bunch for your hard work:D

ps also thats efed up that only 68 people thanked you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
Well i hate to disappoint yall but i no longer develop this tool. You can make it do whatever you want it to though. To change the default boot all you need is the nvflash config for the boot order you want.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Deathbyfugu:
Thanks for all the work you put into it, Frank.

For anyone else who can answer this - has anyone started to modify this program for use on the newly unlockable Transformer Prime? If so, I'd love to test it out. Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] crater:
Is there any way to install a new rom/updates to a rom when you don't have a cable to use NVFlash? How about a way to restore to default without using a cable/NVFlash?

I'm at work and don't have my usb cable and I wanna install ICS. :-(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lexxon87:
Anyone try using this or any other Ubuntu install method with the stock ICS build? I'd like to finally play with Ubuntu but I also want to hold ICS. Thanks!

EDIT: Read into it a bit more...looks like it requires an NVFlash ROM. I'll hang tight until Prime or another ICS-based ROM is released as an NVFlash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thefunkygibbon:
hi guys, i installed ubuntu using this the other month and I dont really use it because its a tad sluggish.

any ideas on how to put the partitions back to what they should be and how I can install CWM so I can put something like Revolution rom back on it on its own?

NVFlash ICS: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22934556&postcount=395
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] katmandu421:
So do we just replace the NV flash version in the OP download with the ICS version?

Anyone tried this yet? I just ordered my dock for the OG (returned the prime due to gps and wifi issues but fell in love with the docking experience) and would love to have this option in "netbook" mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] globiboulga:
I have and it works like a charm. The only caveat for now is that this is the only nvflash rom that I know of and it does have the USB issue - i.e. the Transformer is not recognized by computers when hooked up. There is a fix for it, which we can't use since we don't have a CWM option...

This said, ICS is brilliant and performance wise, a clear improvement over HC
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] katmandu421:
Thanks. I'll try the same. I don't need to have the PC recognize the tf as long as the tf can still see usb from the ports in the dock.

And I agree. Performance wise the ICS update brings the OG tf up to par with the prime. With Nova launcher this thing is smooth as silk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] WolfStar:
If I want to just completely remove the partitions made by this, how would I go about doing that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
Restart the tool, and choose "Android only", but you'll loose all datas

Any info at all would be very awesome.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P4d0uch:
What about WINE. It should work. But i guess it will be slow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Deathbyfugu:
Wine will not work because Wine is still dependant on having an x86 CPU to function.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bonesjones:
That's what I thought. Oh well.

Maybe windows will release an arm that we can break into.

Can´t you install CWM using Rom Manager?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
You didn't put the necessary files in proper folders

And for the post above mine

NO you CAN'T install CWM, since ubuntu loader is using SOS partition, where is normally installed CWM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] almaalma74:
lol, this thread perfect place totally ruin ur cool android tablet...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
and how does it do that exactly? I kindof would like to know. Or if more then likely YOU did something wrong in the process then that would be more logical. If you dont know anything about what you are trying to do. Do me a favor and take your tablet and go to the nearest pawn shop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] s.zamani:
I tried this a few month a go and was very happy with it but when I went on to go back to regular and now to ICS something weird: ubuntu is down and replaced by CWM and the ROM is regular but when ever I reboot it goes automatically back to the CWM the only way to go back to ICS is holding power and down button than I see a prompt whether I want to whipe all personal Data. When I say no it boots into the Standard ROM otherwise it whipes everything, boots into the ROM but when I reboot... same story again.!

Anyone an idea?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
You most probably made a "reboot to recovery" when you were on android, with dual boot

Since then, you "corrupted" a partition

To fix it, you need to run a command LIKE : cat /dev/zero > mmcXYZABC

(Yes, I don't remember the end of it)

You can find the fix in lilstevie thread, about ubuntu on eMMC, in the Q/A section

Can't create directory '/root/var' error

Hi everyone.

I tried using this tool to install ubuntu and I get this error:

I was previously on EOS Rom with cornerstone when I used the tool. I'm using the NVFlashable version of a stock ICS that's rooted (it's somewhere in the forums)

The ICS rom boots and runs fine, it's ubuntu I can't get to boot. Thank you for any help! If any information is needed, I'll gladly supply if I am capable of doing so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bud77:
Did you use superwipe with EXT4 formatting ... ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] neilbantoc:
Well, first off, I don't know what that means. Haha. I hope my guess is right. Does the EOS Rom format my SDCard to ext4? If so, is that what's causing the error? And about the superwipe, could you guide me through on how to do that? Thank you.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frankc123:
No thats when he tries to load linux, the kernel failed. Did you use the files i put up. Or someone elses?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] neilbantoc:
I don't remember what exactly, but I got not only the system.img from the nvFlash version of this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514658, I also used some other img files (boot.img, recovery.img or some others, I think) from that package and have overwritten the files that are found on your tool's main folder. Should I have not done that? How should I proceed now? I still have your tools in .zip format, so i can just delete the extracted folder and re-extract the original over-written files.

So what files exactly should I get from the nvFlash android rom package? Also, what files can and cannot be over-written in your tools folder?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kafluke:
Just like others before me, It hangs at "uploading Ubuntu" and never completes. If I unplug the TF during this stage the output box finally populates. It stops at uploading the ubuntu image file.

I don't know what good an output box is if you don't bother making it functional during the flashing process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] neilbantoc:
Well, the thing is, It's uploading a 1.8gb file (ubuntu img) over a, I don't know, 5mbps connection to your tab. Long story short, it's gonna take a while, around 15 minutes long. You're just being impatient. It doesn't really hang, it's just not telling you that it's doing something and it is taking a while to do so.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bskim23:
I'm getting the same error when trying to go back to android only and I left all the files in the folder from when I first used this tool to get ubuntu. Mind sharing some insight you may have about this?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bskim23:
But will that repartition everything back to how it is supposed to be?

hi guys.. did this work on tf201 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fear_factory84:
I think that don't work on tf201, it needs nvflash and surely sbk is changed. In addition there is no kernel support for tf201 on ubuntu.

So no.

See the tf201 section if there is anything specific.

Just out of curiosity, how hard would it be to get XBMC running on this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrep182:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] igot6strings:
I wish I had the know how to take something like this on. I wanna switch from my Boxee Box to XMBC. MY TF is damaged but would work great as a XMBC device. Been waiting ages for XMBC to do something with it. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work, its just no one has bothered to put the required effort into it as far as I can tell. I wouldn't even care if I had to devote my TF entirely to XMBC to use it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kafluke:
I have a pretty great xbmc home server setup running and would love to see if I can get this to work. I'm going to install UBUNTU on my transformer (which I've already done in the past) and then try XBMC on UBUNTU.

I'll report back on my results.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] igot6strings:
that'd be most awesome. I await you result.

Also, if you get xbmc running on there see if it works with the HDMI out. That'd be the bees knees.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kafluke:
Okay after working on this for hours I've managed to figure out how to perform a dual boot installation using this tool and an nvflash backup of my favorite transformer ROM "Team EOS Nightly's".

Now i have Ubuntu and my Android ROM booting perfectly. I will install XMBC next as soon as I figure out how to get my wireless working. It recognizes my access point and asks for a key but after entering my key it just asks for it again.

(It sure would be nice if the onscreen keyboard worked a little better or if bluetooth keyboard was functioning. It's a nightmare trying to type anything in Ubuntu)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] igot6strings:
Wow. That sounds like hard work. Kudos to you sir.

I know you said you're wifi wasnt working, but are you able to hook up the USB and use a terminal from another computer? just a (noob)thought.

I'm really confused. I think I've done too much searching and now I have confused myself....lol. Do I use this tool or Lilstevie's thread to install this? I've read a few comments in here linking back to his thread mentioning something about OLife. So is this no longer needed and now OLife is the thing to use?(*I'm on Windows 7, not Linux, so I might can't use his install method anyway, right?*) Also, I read info on Jhinta's kernel in his thread and he mentions something about having 3D driver's installed. I have the ability to NVFlash, so I don't have to use the Prime Rom anymore right? I can't replace the files with some more current like the .24 nvflash update, correct? I don't know guys, I'm doing the research, but this is all too much info to take in at once with there being multiple threads on this subject. Help would be greatly appreciated!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rynosaur:
Short answer: Lilstevie provides all the raw materials for any platform to launch Linux-Android install to TF101, but FrankC123's windows installer is your quickest Windoze route to flashing Lilstevie's config/OS onto your hardware.

Just realized its programmed in vb. What version? I have the 2008 IDE from Microsoft installed but I know that the project files change between releases. I may be able to update it for sbkv2 if I can get that basic info.

EDIT: I have started updating it to use wheelie and nvflash in resume mode. I didn't change anything about ROM's to download, and I probably wont. I just want to get the 1-click installer for Ubuntu working. Someone else can update the rest (if it still messed up). For now my TF101 needs to charge. I'll report back with results.

EDIT2: Working on the Backup/Restore tab to get that fully working, I feel the tab should get some use.
