Adam, I've found the fix! It's clunky right now, but I've let benzyniarz1, the developer of UpdateZipCreator, know about the workaround so he can update his utility.

See my summary and pkryger's work-around in the OP for UpdateZipCreator.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
This is a development thread. Do not post "good job", or "great idea", or "cool, i'm trying this now".. I want feedback.

Introduction

This is a precursor to a possible way of running a custom kernel and ROM on the Nook Tablet in a chroot environment. I've been working on an Android app and almost have a usable installer for my AndBuntu project. If we are sucessful, this installer can be converted to a Un-Nook-er app "AndNook" which may be used to install custom kernels and ROMs with additional work.

So, with that said, lets get to it.

You will need:

This is all the software you will need to run this script. If you don't have a Debian Linux based computer, you can dual boot, install Ubuntu within Windows, or run it from a memory stick.

A rooted Nook Tablet

Android Market installed on the Nook Tablet

Busybox Installed on the Nook Tablet

A Terminal Emulator installed on the Nook Tablet

A VNC viewer Installed on the Nook Tablet

A Linux computer, dual boot or run from a memory stick

Getting started

The basic process will go like this.. Generate an image in Ubuntu, put that on your /sdcard/Ubuntu folder and then execute a script

On the Linux computer execute the following code block

cd ~/Desktop
sudo apt-get install rootstock
sudo rootstock --dist maverick --seed lxde,tightvncserver,openoffice.org,gimp,ssh --fqdn localhost --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 3800M --notarball --fullname "Ubuntu for Android" --kbmodel pc104 --locale en_US.UTF-8 --serial ttyS0 --doswap --swapsize 256M

This will take a while, and it will generate a image file with a bunch of charactors like ***************.img.

rename this file "ubuntu.img" without the quotes

create a folder on the Nook Tablet called "/sdcard/ubuntu". (that's internal storage folder "/ubuntu/")

copy the "ubuntu.img" file to the folder

copy THIS SCRIPT to your sdcard/ubuntu/ folder and name it "uboot".

launch the terminal emulator and execute the following code block

su
sh /sdcard/ubuntu/uboot

Paste the output of that command here. If it failed stop. If it worked, keep going

in the Ubuntu environment execute the following code block

/firstRun
tightvncserver

tightvncserver may ask you for a password

Launch your VNC Viewer app

Specify 127.0.0.1 as the connection address. Use your password which you selected in previous code block.

Please note, the script is designed for a Samsung Android device. There is a line in the SH script

export UbuntuLoopFS=/sdcard/ubuntu/ubuntu.img

This line may require modification.

I'm looking for feedback. If you cannot understand what's going on, please don't post. This is not user friendly.

I take no responsibility or liability for anything which may happen to your device. This may force your device into a boot loop 8 times and your device will be factory restored. If it does, please let me know and I will make changes accordingly.

I am interested in trying this but

How much data will need to be downloaded, I currently only have "borrowed" WiFi and cell phone

And does this give you a fully usable ubuntu with desktop and ability to install linux apps

thanks for info
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
about 2-400 megs
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Not sure if it makes a difference, but the NT mounts the sdcard at /mnt/sdcard

Any way, though, I have a Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) distro installed through VirtualBox, and I'll throw together an Ubuntu installation as well right now. I'm more than willing to help out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LouZiffer:
(misinterpreted the meaning of 'feedback'. Apologies.)

EDIT 2: Turning this into a useful post. Hopefully this is the kind of bull**** you want. If not, I'll try again! :)

Tried the image build on a system running Oneiric. Receive segfaults when attempting to add CA certs to java.

Setting up ca-certificates-java (20100412) ...
creating /etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts...
qemu: uncaught target signal 11 (Segmentation fault) - core dumped

error adding brasil.gov.br/brasil.gov.br.crt

Many segfaults follow. One for each cert it tried to install. Image build abends shortly after with an error code 1 in sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg.

At first I thought this might be due to my use of OpenJDK. I removed OpenJDK, installed Sun/Oracle JDK and experienced same. This may be Oneiric-specific. For giggles I'm trying oneiric as the dist in a follow-up build on this machine, and also moving to a second Ubuntu box that's running Maverick for another try at the original instructions. Will edit this post with future updates.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jeph36:
Arg, I let this go for ~an hour on my netbook and got a long way through the process before I got:

/usr/bin/stat: cannot read file system information for `/home/UserUser': No such file or directory
Segmentation fault

Can this be done on a 64-bit installation of ubuntu? I have that on the more powerful desktop downstairs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dragon_76:
You know that this is already in the market... Ubuntu install guide. An image of 10.10 for Arm is linked in the app along with the script to start it. I have it installed and running. Only issue I have is that the resolution is lower than Blaze as the image is designed for phones.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
mint will work.

This is the kind of bull**** I don't want in this thread. Congratulations on wasting a post.

you need to log in as a full user. UserUser is not a valid user. Useruser does not have a home folder.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jeph36:
It actually was "/home/jeph36/" where 'jeph36' is my normal ubuntu login. When I posted I thought maybe I should change it for some privacy reason, only to later realize that it is my xda user name anyway. I assume by "full user" you just mean the user that I use to login.

Edit: I tried again on the same computer with the same result. I am not sure what is missing. Unfortunately I can not stay up later to try on a different computer or with a new install (new 3-day old baby, work tomorrow, etc). Hopefully someone else has this working by tomorrow afternoon/evening, but if not I will get on it then.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Saw a few mistakes such as "sh /sdcard/uboot" Shouldnt it be "sh /sdcard/ubunbtu/uboot"? I am currently n the proccess of getting ubuntu up and running in virtualbox and will be trying this out once i get this up and running for you.

Edit: The rootstock command did not work for me on ubuntu 10.04 it just spits out the command usage spill. IT installed rootstock just fine tho. so I am lost at the moment until I get some feedback of my own here. do I need to iunstall anything ontop of my fresh ubuntu install to get this working?

Edit got the command working but its still flawed big time as it keeps kicking out errors at me. You are going to want to take a good look at it and fix it.

Ed ok I managed to create the image file and here is the command i used to do it

sudo rootstock --dist maverick --seed lxde,tightvncserver,openoffice.org,gimp,ssh, -f localhost --l ubuntu --p ubuntu --imagesize 3800M --notarball --fullname "Ubuntu for Android" --kbmodel pc104 --locale en_US.UTF-8 --serial ttyS0

Not sure if it will work correctly or not but I am going to find out soon.

Edit: Ok got it transfered over and ran the "sh /sdcard/ubuntu/uboot" Command and this is the output from it

: permission denied

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] diamond_lover:
try as superuser.. I'm downloading right now, later I'll tell if work :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Excellent, I will do this tonight and post results.

I believe it should be sh /mnt/sdcard/ubuntu/uboot (though it appears that may be what you input), and it should be done as root.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
Ok after giving terminal emulator root access all those permisson denied turn into not found. so that script dont work either way. the rest of that output stayed the same.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
The script must be edited to the absolute path for the Ubuntu image.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NickBoy98:
good job, great idea, this is cool, i'm trying this now
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I have the image on the sdcard in a folder called ubuntu and the file name is ubuntu.img

I would assume that is where the script is looking for the image and its there on the sdcard in the folder named ubuntu and the file is ubuntu.img
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
The image parameters were wrong..

sudo rootstock --dist maverick --seed lxde,tightvncserver,openoffice.org,gimp,ssh, -fqdn localhost --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 3800M --notarball --fullname "Ubuntu for Android" --kbmodel pc104 --locale en_US.UTF-8 --serial ttyS0 --doswap --swapsize 256M

should have been

sudo rootstock --dist maverick --seed lxde,tightvncserver,openoffice.org,gimp,ssh -fqdn localhost --login ubuntu --password ubuntu --imagesize 3800M --notarball --fullname "Ubuntu for Android" --kbmodel pc104 --locale en_US.UTF-8 --serial ttyS0 --doswap --swapsize 256M

See that? I didn't either... the comma after "ssh" should not be there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Not sure if it's going to make a difference, but I am getting an error when running the (corrected) rootstock command:

It's still running, so maybe it won't matter. This is on a 20GB (total, split 500M /boot, 10G /, 9.5G /home) VirtualBox Mint system.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
And they are still wrong it should be -f localhost --l ubuntu --p ubuntu not -fqdn localhost --login ubuntu --password ubuntu
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
-f and --fqdn are interchangeable, but you're right, if you use fqdn it needs another dash, though you're wrong about --l and --p, it's either --login and --password or -l and -p Again, they're interchangeable.

The shorter way would be:

Though, for some reason, the -s switch doesn't seem to work (on my version) in place of --seed
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
I get something talking about EOF and it doesnt create the image with that command so something is a miss within the doswap and swapsize switches as well.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I'm having an issue with it as well, though mine is simply freezing when it's setting up ssl certificates. Not sure if it's a Mint vs Ubuntu difference, though. I'm going to throw together an Ubuntu test image on VirtualBox (love that program) and see if that helps at all.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
as I said before I am running ubuntu 10.04 in virtualbox here myself.
[Kindle Fire General] eoy4:
Hi!

Oddly, I havent been able to find much info on this... The kindle fire only supports 2-finger multitouch! : S

This has been one of the biggest letdowns for me with my new KF. This means not only that we can't use a decent piano-simulator app (or any other music apps that require 5 or more fingers at once), but also that videogame emulation sucks :S Imagine playing super mario bros without being able to jump while dashing (since this requires simultaneously pressing the d-pad, the B button and the Y button). Or not being able to do all the cool Z-Targeting moves in Zelda OOT or Majora's.

The kindle is awesome for emulators, especially PSX and N64, but without this functionality (pressing more than 3 fingers at a time) and without being able to plug a keyboard or joistick, it is almost unusable :(

Does anyone know if this issue is fixable via software? Maybe different drivers in a custom ROM or a future amazon official update...
[Kindle Fire General] eoy4:
Bump? Does anyone know?
[Kindle Fire General] emelie:
That's exactly what I wanted to post right now.

I used the app Touch Test to check this and also could only use 2 (two) touch points at once.

Would be interesting to know if this also an Amazon software fail or if this is a hardware limitation.

EDITs below

Touchscreen controller chip: ILITEK 2107QS001K (A95B8F416 A2130B002)

The last two strings are potentially production-/batch-specific numbers as they vary between chips (see sources below).

Sources:

Step 15 @ ifixit teardown

Image 31 @ TechRepublic teardown

Currently further research in progress if I can find out what the chip supports.

FINAL EDIT

Posted a thread in the development section: [Request] kernel source Forensics: enable more than two touch points
[Kindle Fire General] uvaio:
what kindle fire can get more than 2 point multitouch
[Kindle Fire General] jmcoffey:
It cant. The hardware doesn't allow it.

Dude, you make rooting and flashing so easy, even a caveman could do it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I had no luck flashing the EL13 modem with CWM

It was aborted twice.

I was looking for the tar file so I could flash via ODIN, and low and behold, I see you read my mind.

I am rooted already as per my sig. Can I just flash this without issue, or can I just flash EL13 via ODIN?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
Thanks dude
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
This is going to flash you to STOCK EL13 everything, Modem/Kernel/ROM.

There are 2 versions provided. The Full Restore resets the whole phone including your User Data. The NoData Restore keeps your existing User Data.

If you want CWM, I suggest you use the Auto Root package and choose Option C and EL13+CWM

[ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash)

Once you have CWM you should be able to get where you want to be.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mecksg1:
So if i do this will it erase my viper rom im currently using?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, it will get you a complete EL13 system (modem/kernel/rom). If you want to keep your ROM, I suggest you flash the kernel and modem individually, or re-flash your ROM after installing this.

I provide the ODIN tar files for the complete EL13 system because it is easier to use ODIN when you need to flash multiple elements. Individual elements, you are probably better served with CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Thank you for that.

Much appreciated.

I'll give it try in a few, after a drink, or perhaps before the drink lol!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
I'm confused... will I still have/be able to root after flashing this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
After flashing this you will ALREADY be rooted. The ROM is pre-rooted. Everything else is stock.

It is the same as if you installed a stock ROM then chose Option A in the Auto Root package, except it is done already for you. If you choose Option B (unroot) in the Auto Root package, you would make this ROM 100% stock. The Auto Root pacakge is fully functional after flashing this ODIN tar.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mecksg1:
But it will be rooted still right?

Didnt see next post. Lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
Thanks for clarifying that. You've been a huge help to me and this community, I can't tell you how much I appreciate all that you do for us.

Cheers!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I went to your other thread, and installed EL13+CWM.

The Kernel is now EL13.

I then went into CMW and flashed the EL13 Modem which was aborted twice before with the EG30 Kernel.

I didn't realize the EL13 Modem cannot be flashed with the EG30 Kernel installed.

I now also have the EL13 Modem installed successfully.

I'm still on Android 2.3.4

Should I have just installed the ROM, Kernel and Modem in this thread, and then went to the other thread, and flashed the EL13 Kernel + CWM?

I see the Sprint Hotspot by Necrosan is broken, as it was working with EG30.

I'll search to see if it's available for EL13.

I also see there are still CIQ remnants. Was EL13 supposed to have gotteen rid of this?

Thanks again for your work and help ;)

Glad I waited to have that drink ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I didn't realize that either. EL13 is a full modem so I'm surprised it has that restriction. Was it confirmed by others having the same experience?

IMO if you are flashing multiple elements like Modem/Kernel/ROM to a particular base version like EL13, it is easier to use ODIN as a single flash gets you there.

So in your case, if you wanted a full EL13 Modem/Kernel/ROM and CWM, I would install the ODIN tar in this thread, then go to the Auto Root thread (in my signature) and use Option C to install EL13+CWM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
@ sfhub

Thanks for that info and confirmation.

Much appreciated.

I posted a response in your other thread, as I'm bouncing between these 2 threads for the different sources.

If you can please read my response and questions in the other thread, your help is appreciated.

Thanks.

As per qbking's video, there would appear to be no conflict flashing the EL13 Modem over the EG30 modem.

But I am unclear if you would also need the EL13 Kernel installed prior to the EL13 Modem flash, as was in my case.

I rooted my phone yesterday using Tom's One-Stop-Shop without installing a kernel. Just flashed the superuser package.

I am rooted as my wifi tether and titanium backup work great. Thanks for any help, Dave
[Verizon Droid Charge] rj57:
The problem is that there is only @2 Mb free in the /system partition after the OTA. Once you root it, there is only a little over 1 Mb free. That is not enough to install busybox.

You can get around this by doing a little debloating with root explorer. It is OK to delete some of the bloat APKs such as City ID, Blockbuster, all of the VCAST crap, CRapsody, Kindle, and several others.
