I created the .boot_linux in /data/media with android (ES Explorer), not with adb because i'm using Windows.

I change permissions to 755 (Me RWX, group R-X, other R-X). But when i restart the tablet, only a loop boot with the screen "this device is unlock, blah blah".

So hybridkernel.blolb +.boot_linux doesn't work for me :(

Do you know another way to have dual boot please ?
[Transformer TF300T General] DrBooo:
dual boot

And /data/linux folder is on 755 permissions?
[Transformer TF300T General] Kotasan:
Hum, 777 permissions.

I find an another .blob wich i can select to boot with Android or Linux. So its not a problem now.

Thank you.
[Transformer TF300T General] themagi:
Mind posting a link to that blob here? For other people who are having problems with cb22's.

This is dragonnn's .blob !

Curious, has anyone tried installing Metasploit on this distro?

I downloaded the .run file from the Metasploit website, made it executable, and then tried to run it (while root) and ended up getting a "cannot execute binary file" error.

My research has led me to think it could just be the incorrect architecture, but I figured I would see if anyone here has tried at all.

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] rickavers42:
Aur

Open terminal, type: pacman -S yaourt and follow the steps to install it.

Once installed, in terminal, Type: yaourt -S metasploit.

Yaourt is very helpful, it will build and install items from aur automatically if it's not available in the normal arch arm repo. You may need to edit the PkgBuild, which I have not done before, to change the architecture, but a lot of apps don't need this. As far as I know, there aren't executables for arch, other than scripts.

Hey guys, im currently trying to accomplish something way over my head, im trying to substitute a lubuntu image i have been using on my tf101 for a few months using this install method. Ive only had this tf300t for a few days so im still getting used to the new bootloaders etc. I believe what i have to do is place my "linux.img" in /data/linux? (the file is about 4gb) then with fastboot, flash the newer "fire-kernel" (taking the .blob from the zip file located in the dev thread). Ive yet to try as it feels like im missing something lol (I have nvflash install, so no bricks hopefully) if someone could help get it working id be very grateful:good:

if i can get this to work there are many different linux distros currently working on the tf101, would be great to get them working on the tf300t!
[Transformer TF300T General] ColMustard:
I'm a little confused, you posted this question in the Dev thread and then replied back saying that you posted it in the wrong thread. Now your in the general Arch Linux thread posting your same question. Are you sure your not looking for the xubuntu thread? In theory this should work with the xubuntu kernel which is based on the same premise. The difference being you would have to rename your linux.img to rootfs.img, then just place this file in /data/media/linux/ and flash the kernel. This kernel allows for dual boot into ubuntu or android.

I just didnt want to post in the dev thread again(my other post proberly should have been here also). Thats what i needed to know, cheers
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
some help

the archlinux for the tf300t thread has been dead for a while now. and the xubuntu for the tf300 thread is has been steadily progressing, they already have the latest nvidia drivers implemented which allow for HWA. they've also got bluetooth working by using the firmware files from android, and shutting down/restarting works without having to hack a way around it beforehand. the only thing not working still is sound to the speakers/headphones. i really liked arch but its not the latest and greatest at this point so im using xubuntu on my tablet. im annoyed though because the xubuntu boots from a virtual filesystem of only 4 gigs and ive already used all that space :/

does anyone here know how to extract the rootfs.img somewhere else on my tablets memory without messing things up?

if thats not a viable option then can anyone give me the specific commands needed to expand this virtual filesystem to lets say, 10 gigs?

im not good with all this virtual filesystem crap, reading and writing is slower from a mounted virtual filesystem and space is limited, why the hell use it for linux on our tablets in the first place?
[Transformer TF300T General] ColMustard:
Sure, create an ext4 partition on a microSD or an SDCard if you have the keyboard dock. Once you have created an ext4 partition, you can use rsync to sync the contents of rootfs.img to your SD and it should boot to it before the virtual image with the dual boot kernel.

To this with a live system, execute the following commands in terminal:

1. mkdir /media/p2 - to create a map mount point

2. mount /dev/sda1 /media/p2 - now mount the SD to your map point

3. rsync -avx / /media/p2 - once mounted, sync the contents of your system to the CDCard

4. reboot
[Transformer TF300T General] shenk:
If you want to increase it online and still using the internal storage, just issue the below command :-

$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero bs=1MiB of=/data/media/linux/rootfs.img conv=notrunc oflag=append count=4000 -> if you want to add 4G more.

$ sudo losetup -c /dev/loop0

$ sudo resize2fs /dev/loop0

hopefully this works for you.

shrink android data partition ? and install arch on it ?

Hi,

i played with arch with a nice i3wm/xfce and it is very nice and want it permanent

so to avoid fs corruption and reinstalling once a week ( or installing on ext-(µ)sd ) i was wondering if it's possible to shrink the DATA partition and install arch on the available space ? does someone already made it ?

-resize /data partition via adb shell

-reinstall rom or restore previous /data

-modifiy fstab of rootfs img and uncompress it on the fresh part.

-should i create a swap partition ? or use a file as a swap ?

then ? how can i pass the new root parameter to firekernel ( from dragooon) ?

Is it possible to use this on a 4.2 bootloader?

Also cb22, would mind updating your OP in the dev thread to reflect the current status of your project. I've read through the thread and between the work you and dragonnn have done it sounds like rebooting and the framebuffer issues have been sorted out. I'd also like to see or help make a guide that explains a bit more clearly how to go about the installation process.

I'd like to help contribute to this project as well, as I've got a bit of linux and programming experience. My experience with this kind of device tinkering is lax though so I'm trying to soak in as much as I can.
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:

It's sad to see a promising GNU/Linux die for my beloved tablet. I tried xubuntu this week. Couldn't get audio to work, sadly. I had much more general success with Arch, but support for it seems to have completely died.

xubuntu 13.04

Not sure if any of you are keeping up with the xubuntu for tf300 thread by a user named graiden has compiled a new multiboot kernel for 4.2 that runs Ubuntu 13.04 flawlessly, hes uploaded a new rootfs along with a kernel. The most recent kernel v2.2.6 from him is the one I'm using along with his latest rootfs. Sound and bluetooth both work on every boot but WiFi for me is not. In the thread its stated that you have to edit the rc.local file and uncomment one of the insmod lines which I did and on reboot WiFi is still not working, ifconfig shows no new network interfaces. I've uncommented each of those lines individually and rebooted and still nothing, and when any of those lines are uncommented on reboot sound does not work properly. Putting these lines below the audio configuration in rc.local allows sound to still work on reboot if one of these lines is uncommented but WiFi is still not working. I don't have enough posts to post in that thread but does anyone here have any ideas? It seems he's put all necessary modules in the correct places but following his instructions I'm still not getting the WiFi card to be noticed by ifconfig.
[Transformer TF300T General] Graiden05:
Does wifi work on android with dualboot kernel? If it works post output of lsmod command, if not back to stock kernel with stock modules and post same thing. And what version of tablet do You have?
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
WiFi is not working on android with dualboot kernel, I'm using cromi. With stock kernel output of lsmod is:

cfg80211 149781 1 bcmdhd_29, Live 0x00000000

texfat 134094 0 - Live 0x00000000 (P)

tntfs 456521 0 - Live 0x00000000 (P)

My tablet is the tf300t model
[Transformer TF300T General] Graiden05:
Hope it caused by old modules in rootfs, so I posted script to update it here.
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
Ran the script with root privledges and it gave me 2 errors but on reboot WiFi worked! Thanks man. Afew minor bugs I've noticed also is upon startup my background keeps getting reset to a solid color in xfce and icon labels are doubled and printed to another part of the desktop as well as below the icons where they should be, they dissapear when I highlight the desktop in front of them, haven't tried another DE yet. Also I get soft lockups every once and a while it just happened to me for the third time after rebooting and having WiFi for the first time while I was updating package lists. If you need the output of any more commands I'm more than willing to help out, I've been keeping up with Linux on the tf300 ever since I got one last December and I look forward to all its bugs being worked out.
[Transformer TF300T General] Graiden05:
Do You have uncommented insmod lines in /etc/rc.local for now? Modules should loading by /etc/modules file and uncommented lines in rc.local may duplicate it. Also lockups may caused by way of loading rootfs from file placed in pretty slow memory. And it seems like linux doesn't use full power of CPU. Solid background color caused by slow wallpaper load speed.

May be I misunderstand something but if icon when it appears clones nearby one and then changes to normal label it happens even on desktop machines.
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
The insmod lines in my rc.local are all commented out. And of all the different rootfs filesystem's I've ran on this tablet I've never had one give me soft lockups as often as this one, if anything in the past id get a hard lockup once a week, maybe its something in the kernel? I don't know much about how the Linux kernel works but IMO i don't think its because its a mounted filesystem.

The labels that shouldn't be there dissapear if I click and drag on the desktop to highlight over them.
[Transformer TF300T General] Graiden05:
Hmm... I never got something like this. May be Your download was bad. Try to redownload rootfs.
[Transformer TF300T General] alb-o:
Downloading a new rootfs fixed afew other problems I noticed, like before my sound only had 3 volumes which were mute halfway and full volume, but I figured out the icon label problem only happens when I use the blackbird theme? Not sure why.

Relock bootloader, run ruu, then try
[HTC One S] saculetz:
You must lock your bootloader first.

To do that, go in the bootloader menu, select fastboot and from the command prompt run

"fastboot oem lock".

After that finishes, just run the RUU.

After that, download the update and install. If you are from Romania please PM me in case you need further explaining.

You can find the RUU here:

Let the porting... Begin :)

Edit: To any users who are even slightly tempted to flash this onto your Sensation, it will brick your phone so don't even try it. If you do and it bricks your phone, do not come to me for sympathy because I will just laugh at you. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

thought it was jelly bean :( should be here soon too

thanks anyway

JellyBean will be 3.x RUU version, same as One X

[HTC Sensation] zooster:
When we thought they were going to leak a JB rom here is the old 4.0.4... Every update is welcome of course but maybe this is a sad sign of no real plan of a jb upgrade for ville c2. Maybe this is a sop given to ville c2 users just to do not them leave without upgrades while s4 users will get jb...
[HTC Sensation] :
cabbage, but at least read a few words!

you read the title of the thread? Dev only : (
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Hang on a sec, "old 4.0.4"? Ville C2 never had 4.0.4 until today. Even One X doesn't have an official JB RUU yet, only test releases. S4 version of One S only has 4.0.4, no test releases for JB at all.
[HTC Sensation] :
So I'm stupid?

know how many times is happened? of users that made these follies?
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
It's up to you to decide if you're stupid. Yeah I do know.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Yes, I meant "old" because s4 got 4.0.4 time ago, and the new os is 4.1.2... 4.0.4 for s3 is almost matching the timing of new JB for s4.
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
Isn't ViperS already based off the S3 Sense 4 rom? Or is this just special because it's Sense 4.1 with 4.0.4 for S3? Will this be easier to port into a completely working Sense 4.1 rom for Sensation than the current base used for ViperS?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
It's not Sense 4.1 - they are deluding you, it has the Rosie.apk from S4 version of One S and that is the only Sense 4.1 feature I am aware of in that ROM. As for android 4.0.4, no it has android 4.0.3 libs and maybe up to 90% of the framework is 4.0.3 - I do not know the exact percentages but what little 4.0.4 code there is comes from the Ville RUU (One S S4 variant)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Ladies, usually I'm all up for a bit of bantering and calling each other stupid, but not in a dev thread. Can we save it for the Off-Topic threads please, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] zooster:
Is it possible to rebase the porting of this new RUU to latest pyramid firm 3.33.401.153?
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Porting uses mostly libs from the devices the RUU is meant for (with the exception of hardware specific libs such as Bluetooth and kernel libs) but yes it is possible to use 3.33.401.153 files as the ones that are used for the target device.

This is what myself and mikrosmile will be doing for our ROM - the annoying thing is we spent nearly a month attempting to get our sense 4.1 ROM based off Ville S4 into a stable condition and just when its nearly ready, this is released :p
[HTC Sensation] Daiskei:
In response to your reply Johnny, I wasn't asking about ViperS. I was asking if THIS ruu was special because it's Sense 4.1 with android 4.0.4 for the S3 processor, I was also asking if this ruu would make for a better (fully working?) port of Sense 4+ for the Sensation. The only thing I really asked about the ViperS Rom was if it was already based off an S3 Ruu, I am now assuming its based off an S4 ruu.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
ViperS 1.3.5 is based off the S3 Android 4.0.3 Sense 4 1.11.x RUU

There is no current port of Sense 4+ because Sense 4+ is only on JellyBean and the only device to have JellyBean is the One X. It's not worth porting anything from the One X because everything needs to be resized. Sense 4+ is actually Sense 4.5 but for some bizarre reason HTC decided last minute to name it as Sense 4+

This RUU will allow better ports of Sense 4.1 and yes this RUU is special because it is Sense 4.1 and Android 4.0.4 for the S3 variant of the One S
[HTC Sensation] memnoc:
so I think the way is try to make an inverse porting, taking the hugest amount of files we can from the pure one implentin them into the old one...I'm kinda tryin this way now, I'll let you know here when it's ready to go
[HTC Sensation] Steve0007:
Again, the Russian base is Android 4.0.4 which is not so different from 4.0.3.

The apk, bin, framework and jar packages are mostly from HTC 2.31.401.5 RUU C Ville (Android 4.0.4). Some of the lib files and others packages are indeed from 4.0.3 but I can bet that if you wish to port Ville C2 2.15.401.100 to our Sensation, you will also have no other way than using some Android 4.0.3 packages :laugh:
