There is no method yet to upgrade to the latest image of the OS itself without losing data. You can upgrade the kernel without loss of data by following the instructions in the OP.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
Thanks for answer,..

Any way to backup/restore data in case i upgrade to latest image?

Probably i will be fine with all we got in current release because as i said i primary need it for that app to run.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Anything stored on your External SD card should be fine but I don't believe as of yet there is a way to do it other than saving the important files you need to the External SD card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
Tnx so much,..

So,.. Prime Booted, now i just boot in Ubuntu,... but cant find a way to setup wifi,.. hmmmm, its asking for some passwords
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Welcome.

If you don't have wifi you probably need the newer kernel. Go to the OP, download and extract the zip file to /lib/firmware (think that's the right spot), then install the new kernel using the Tubuntu application. Most seem to be using the 1.6GHz kernel and using the cpu governor utility for optimal performance.

That should fix wifi for you. When connecting to wifi it may ask for root password first (family) and then your wifi password, I believe that's how it does it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
I went back to Prime to check something,... rebooted to Ubuntu and now i am getting:

INFO: task kinteractiveup:61 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disable this message.

and that just keep repeating.

EDIT, ill try tu update kernel as soon as i get to boot Ubuntu again.

Not sure how to download/extract when i dont have WIFI?

Can i extract files from Android boot?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Make sure you are downloading the newest 1.2 image. In the older versions if you reboot to recovery from Android you will get a loop or other problems. You can use this command to help fix that: sudo echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

You can download from Android if you want and copy to your external sd card. For the actual kernel download it on your pc and connect to the Tubuntu app to do that part.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
Yes, i have 1.2 installed.

I did reflash all over again hope i will not get that error again. If i get it,. how do i enter that command when Ubuntu is still booting (stuck with that error)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I would hold volume down and power button until on your screen it says hit volume up to enter recovery in 5 seconds. That should boot you straight to Tubuntu. If it doesn't and you still have a problem something could be wrong with the kernel or the method it flashed. It's tough for me to say with certainty.

If stuck with that error I'm not sure how you would get it in there from Terminal in Ubuntu. I haven't experienced this so lets see what happens after the fresh flash. The newest image fixes that issue anyways and you shouldn't have to even use the command at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
Hmmm,...

this is strange,.. i did try to update kernel :

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Once you flash make sure one of the first things you do is run "sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p8" in Terminal without the quotes. That will get you your space back.

Glad you got wifi, make sure though you do get the correct supplement loaded.

Looks like app i need doesnt work on Tubuntu ,... :(

Can somebody please try tp run this application. After i execute nothing happens.? (In terminal i am getting Cannot execute binary file)

Only other way to run treepad is via WINE but Synaptic Package Manager is telling me its broken package (Probably cannot run because it requires diff CPU?)

Great work on the new kernel, haven't had any issues with it so far!

Has anybody else had problems with firefox crashing frequently?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
Sooo ! I got some problem with Onboard on lightdm ( defaut session manager ) sometimes appear, sometimes not.

Buuuuuuuuut !

If you use lxdm instead, ( apt-get install lxdm and then choose lxdm for default )

and if you add to /etc/lxdm/LoginReady

exec onboard

exit

Onboard will show on reboot at login screen :)

Also, new build of Android ROM i use just came out.

I guess i still have to TempFlash Recovery and then update android? Ubuntu installation will be intact?

Tnx
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
The tether on my phone isn't working except for bluetooth so most of the work I'm doing is offline unless I get bluetooth working. So while I can play around I can't download the app and install anything. Hence the reason I've been trying to get bluetooth going...lol.

For new Android, yes temp flash recovery and update. Yes, ubuntu will be intact. Just remember that you may need a newer version of CWM recovery or TWRP if you plan to use Jelly Bean because of the changes in the drive mappings for internal and external SD cards.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Mn5612:
Treepad only has 32 and 64bit versions available for linux and you need an ARM version for the transformer, it's also closed source so you can't compile it for ARM either. You also can't run it through WINE because of the ARM cpu. There is an open source java alternative that you can use Jreepad, which is compatible with the files from Treepad Lite.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] akyboy:
Makes sense!

Re: [Win32/64][Dual Boot] Tubuntu - Dual boot 1 click installer SBK1 & SBK2! *01/03/2

I asked in another thread about Bluetooth and NoDiskNoFun said 12.04 versus 12.10.

So I'm not sure what else to try. How's everyone else been doing?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
sorry guys i have been away for abit between my wife, my son, and i getting sick back and forth i had no energy to even play with this.

as far as bluetooth did you enable it in android? i never acutally tried. i'll look into it. =) right now. im' acutally trying to install arch linux. got everything booted but can't seem to get wifi modules to load. but i'm only about 40 min into playing around. i bet a bit of googling should fix that =T
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
Hey x3, hope you and the fam is all good now.

I've poured over bluetooth. Got the service file made, enabled in Android and replaced the service file (bsp-tf101) with the correct mac address and all that.

I just can't get the brcm_patchram_plus to execute or do anything. What I can do is use hciattach ttyHS2 any and get the tab to scan but nothing is picked up. I tried using hciattach and modifying the mac address but either the settings or something is the issue.

Personally, I wouldn't care about bluetooth really but on my phone my AOKP ROM is runing 4.2 and the wifi tether is broke but Bluetooth tether is working. That was the real push to get bluetooth working.

I'll try to focus again on getting onboard at the login screen without changing greeters. I'm trying to stick as stock as what you put in the image as possible before doing a bunch of add ons. Much like Android, why add a bunch of 3rd party apps if the AOSP comes with it? Anyways.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] x3maniac:
thanks for your regards! we are ok for now. that flu that's going around really beats you up good

i revered to using "SLIM" for my s3 due to tether. i had 4.2 but i reallly don't use the multi user mode. i think it's better for tablets

you are right! keep it slim, let me know how you make out with onboard. if all goes well i'll update my image with what you did to get onboard running..

in the mean time if you want a real slim do it yourself os. i just uploaded arch linux for arm(alarm) on my goo.im :D

user:root

pass:family

quick helpits:

remounts system to read and write

mount -o rw,remount /dev/mmcblk0p8 /

load wifi module

modprobe bcm4329 firmware_path=/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/bcm4329-fullmac-4.bin

loads wpa supplicant

wpa_supplicant -B -i eth0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

starts wifi

( Dont know if it works, x3maniac may confirm it to you )
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RuisuMercha:
Well, here it is not working :/

More or less 10gb here the nvflash shows the EEE Pad logo, and then, when it reaches 14gb, it says that the ubuntu.img was uploaded, ok. When I boot the Pad, it hangs at Eee Pad logo, if i boot at recovery, it shows that it was impossible to unpack, and goes to initramfs shell...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Kingzak34:
I think for Ubuntu only, you mustn go to recovery, but I'm not sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RuisuMercha:
But if I flash the kernel at the Default partition, it hangs at the Eee Pad logo :/

Well, WHEN I can boot it, says something like: junk unpacked.... and then shows the initramfs shell...

------------------------------------------

Well, now I'm stuck on a reboot loop, it boots the kernel, and then, shows: "rebooting in 1 second..." and then, reboots and i get a eee pad logo and it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TomTcom:
I believe this website below helps. My guess is just like the author of the web page says, the brcm_patchram_plus is in the Bluetooth git for Android source and needs to be recompiled for Linux because a few of the libraries referenced are for Android and it won't work.

I'm gonna fire up the ole Linux laptop I have and go that route and try to make a valid brcm_patchram_plus file. If it works, I should be able to get the bsp-tf101 service to run and engage the Bluetooth. If not, well crash and burn again. :)

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu/Leo/Bluetooth

I didn't have a lot of time, but the patch command fails due to it still trying to call "ro.bt.addr" which is the Android Bluetooth property. The website above mentions that but I can't see where the patch file making an adjustment for that but I'll give it a more thorough look through tonight. If anyone else has suggestions please chime in.

I believe I might also have to get the arm-none-eabi-gcc which I found a download for that but with some many systems, libraries, dependencies, platforms....sifting through it all is daunting.

*****

So here's the update, the patch file doesn't correspond well enough to brcm_patchram_plus.c that's in the google repo. I manually edited the repo file to correspond to the patch changes.

I'm installing the ARM gcc compiler on the tablet itself and will ""attempt"" to compile it for ARM.

If that fails, I'm going to compile the repo file straight without changes and attempt to run it. I'm not sure when I'll get to it but I'll upload the file if it does work and X3 can add it to the image. I'll supply directions and what not as well.

I'm pleased to tell everyone Bluetooth finally works!!! I can't take any credit other than putting together the instructions to get it working and digging all over the interwebs so have a look below!!!!!!!:

1. Go to this site and download the gz file. This contains a few missing files we need and it's compile for ARMHF. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27689244&postcount=10

2. Extract the contents of the gz to /usr/sbin

3. Go to this site. Copy the code in the box and make a new file called bsp-tf101. Save the file to /etc/init.d. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21388706&postcount=1456

4. In Android (or mount the Android file system if it isn't already) copy the file /data/misc/bluetooth/bcm4329.hcd to /lib/firmware. If the file with CAPITAL letters exists like this already in /lib/firmware: BCM4329.hcd you are to delete it or CUT it from that directory (many XDA posts say to get rid of that file. We want to use the lower case file.

5. In Android (or mount the Android file system if it isn't already) copy the file /data/misc/bluetooth/mac.txt to /lib/firmware/brcm.

6. Now, edit /etc/init.d/bsp-tf101. Go to the line that starts with /usr/sbin/brcm_patchram_plus and REMOVE --bd_addr and whatever MAC address is in the file. We are doing this because when you run the service, the MAC will be read from /lib/firmware/brcm/mac.txt.

7. In terminal type "service bsp-tf101 start" NO QUOTES.

8. After the terminal says Done Setting Line Discipline, open your Bluetooth Manager application from Preferences in Lubuntu.

9. Happy scanning and pairing! I successfully connected my GS3 and saw other devices nearby.

HEY! that is great news about bluetooth working! it's going to expand the possibilities now!

on another note! i have now made my new kernel which is Mount-Loop!! thanks to transformador for the suggestion.

http://goo.im/devs/x3maniac

what does this mean?

this means that you can now just place the ubuntu.img in your internal sdcard and boot the image.

How it works?

i have turned this into a blob file(can be flash with cwm or twrp). which mean you can boot into your recovery flash ubuntu-mountloop.zip. To go back to your android you would need the kernel blob that goes along with the rom your are using. http://www.mediafire.com/?labcx60jowrdx which can be found here. (this is not my link)
