[Asus Transformer TF700] danger-rat:
Awesome work jaybob!

Is there any reason why you are using /data/ubuntu as the root? Typically, people tend to wipe data when flashing ROMs, at least for major changes. Using something like /sdcard/ubuntu for the root would mean that the install survives ROM hopping, etc.

I realize I can tweak it myself, but thought I would just recommend it for incorporation...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Valantur:
Do you know if your ubuntu implementation works for the tf300t?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

What I meant is: Do you think it's possible to use cb22's kernel (used to boot his arch implementation) and ramdisk on the tf300 and chroot to this ubuntu's init?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jaybob413:
I believe that it should work with minor changes. My rootfs zips are built straight from Nvidia's Tegra3 L4T distribution, with LKM and firmware updates from the TF700T. My guess would be that if you copied the lib/modules/.... folder and put the appropriate firmware in lib/firmware (fw*.bin, nvram.txt, bcm*.hcd, etc.) it should work. You would probably want to extract into /data/linux instead of /data/ubuntu as that is what that initramfs uses. I know that I have been able to boot into that rootfs on the TF700T with those changes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I hacked together a small shell script that can be used in Android to enter the Ubuntu installation as chroot and run console programs like apt-get in it. Maybe it is of use to someone.

GNU_ROOT=/data/ubuntu
mount -o bind /dev $GNU_ROOT/dev
mount -o bind /dev/pts $GNU_ROOT/dev/pts
mount -o bind /sys $GNU_ROOT/sys
mount -o bind /proc $GNU_ROOT/proc

mkdir $GNU_ROOT/run/resolvconf
rm $GNU_ROOT/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
for i in 1 2 3 4; do
ns=`getprop dhcp.wlan0.dns$i`
if [ $ns ]; then
echo nameserver $ns >> $GNU_ROOT/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
fi
done

chroot $GNU_ROOT /usr/bin/env PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin /bin/bash -l

umount $GNU_ROOT/proc
umount $GNU_ROOT/sys
umount $GNU_ROOT/dev/pts
umount $GNU_ROOT/dev

Save e.g as /data/enter-ubuntu and chmod 700. Feel free to use it or to post improvements.

Sweet! Been looking forward to this!

Now, I don't have any experience with dualboot.. Is there anyone who can assemble a guide, setting up dualboot along with this Debian version on the device?

[Asus Transformer TF700] l1nuxfre4k:
that script didnt work for me, complained about couldnt find resolv.conf and something with chroot :/

Password for this install?

Keeps asking for password when i try to login and i dont have a onboard keyboard it seems so i cant enter or try any password...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I tried it only after playing around a bit with Ubuntu, and then flashing back to the Android kernel, so I don't know. But in theory it should also work on a freshly unpacked installation - did you try it, and if if failed, what did it say?

I forgot to add a mkdir command... add before the "rm" line:

mkdir $GNU_ROOT/run/resolvconf

About "something with chroot" ...

I tested my script under CleanROM 2.3 and obviously it worked for me ... I assumed that everyone with a rooted Android device also has BusyBox installed, do you?

Remember guys, this is a development thread (read the red sections of the OP again), so if something doesn't work, either fix it yourself and tell us how you did it, or at least post exact error messages. Every post should contribute to the project in some way. If you just need help, use the related support thread.

hey guys. i need major help on getting my phone at least back on...i seem to have bricked it. i was rooted under recent ota, jb leak, with safestrap and rom slot 1 with virteous 1.1 rom. i also had the liberty rom toolbox but the free version since paid apps are a problem either with safestrap or virtreos but i had the free version. i aslo put the clock to both 1.5 but not on apply boot. i installed a framework theme from the liberty box "twisted". when i tried to go to recovery by volume up and down and power i got the black and white recovery with options, i let it sit until i got safestrap recovery, which was enabled. pressed continue in order to go into recovery and stood blank. my phone is currently off and cannot be turned on. is there anyway i can rsd back to stock to restart again but through push without the phone on? no matter wether i charge it or push the power button it dosent start. please. someone. anyone.. thanks a mill.:crying::eek::fingers-crossed:

Try downloading DROID RAZR HD tool kit and flashing back to stock when you go into the boot mode you may be able to restore it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZedZardoz:
You Rooted

You flashed Pegasus <<< what method, ODIN? no CWM/TWRP < no backup?

So my guess is your flash was from ODIN? Can you reflash the Stock TAR as posted on Pegasus AT&T OP? Are you an AT&T i317 or Canadian i317m?

I'm in for $20.00 for a custom rom with SENSE 4 OR HIGHER WITH WORKING RIL AND RADIO (DATA AND CALLS)

HERE IS A ROM WORKING WITHOUT THE RIL CAN BE USED AS A BASE http://beta.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390077933525139695

Mirror from dropbox

what exactly is the problem with the ril anyway.. ? i might try but i dont know whats wrong with it so yeah..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
I'm sorry, I'm not the developer of that rom it was rafyvito was banned from xda like a year ago he released the rom in rootzwiki but for what i know he couldn't make the ril work and he tried for weeks if not months but he sold his vivid and he is not working on the rom anymore

here is the link to the forum where it was original released:

i would go for sense 4.1 if i was porting it. But sadly i dont know how to port yet. Im just learning how a android kitchen works.

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 AM ----------

i would also be willing to put 20 up or possibly more and i will help test it. And he ported it from the htc one s http://trickdroid.org/trickdroid-villec2-27-10-2012/ that seems like its our best bet .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jjdoctor:
I thought of attempting to fix the RIL issue but it seems that the zip is broken... I need a working zip.. upload to mediafire.com if someone can...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] JEANRIVERA:
try to re-download the zip is not broke i just downloaded and make sure it matches the md5 from download link
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lolwutwin:
i would upload it but i have a slow connection. The zip works cause i downloaded it last night ...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jjdoctor:
i already attempted twice without luck... seems the site isn't best for me... i will try once it's available on mediafire
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Im downloading now and will up to mediafire. This port is based on a ruu from a snapdragon s3 (like the Vivid) variant of the one s (villeC2), most of the One S's (ville) are s4's. Since then, they have also gotten a 4.0.4 sense 4.1 ruu for the c2 (available in football's thread). The only custom ROM available for the villec2 based on this RUU is TrickDroid (available in the One S forum, tagged as [S3]) Any chance it would be easier with sense 4.1? Should our energy be focused on a working 4.1 port or fixing the RIL in 4.0? Dont exactly know what the trouble with our ril and sense 4.0 was? Always like it when talent pops their head in so I can pick their brain. I'll have the link in this post when it's uploaded

Edit: First try quit at 268mb. Trying again (Note that I did download it successfully yesterday with no problem, to another computer of course.. Maybe there's just issues today?)

Edit 2: Uploading

Hi. I recently updated my HTC inspire 4G from gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.5. Is there any way to root it without having to downgrade? Any help would be greatly apreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I think you could unlock the bootloader with HTCDEV, but even if you can I don't recommend it. AAHK just gives you a lot more options (with S-OFF and uprooting capabilities) and more control over your phone (more ROM choice).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Shad_Lewis:
thanks for your response. Why do you not recomened using HTCDEV? From what I've read and seen. the Ace AAHK requires that my phone be donwgraded and I don't want to go through that process. I'm trying to find a way to do root without donwgrading. Any suggestions? Is there and updated virson of AAHK that will do it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
Sometimes the best method requires a little more work. If you want to cut corners, I wish you luck. Otherwise bite the bullet and do it the right way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
HTCDEV unlock is detectable by HTC, even if you relock it later; AAHK can unroot without leaving a trace. Also, HTCDEV only allows you to use ROMs intended for your phone, so you can't use ported ROMs; AAHK lets you flash ported ROMs. HTCDEV requires you to flash the boot.img separately each time you flash a ROM; AAHK does not.

The method with downgrade IS the updated version. There is no version that lets you root 2.3.5 without downgrading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Will add the disclaimer that the 3.20.502 build(2.3.5 for inspire) does require it to be HTC dev unlocked first,then a file is flashed then relocked. In order for the aahk to do its thing. HTC plugged up an exploit so this slightly more combersome method is needed.

Either way the aahk is the way to go
