i have done everything still nothing booting up. so i change it up a little let me see if it works if it does ill let you all know thanks

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

nope sorry guys still nothing boots :( sad this cudda been great for our device. oh well back to work :)
[Desire Android Development] dethrat:
True some did say that. But I seriously doubt it'll ever be usable.

Plus its a very early developer preview why so many people are excited I have no idea.

By the time its upto a full release standard I.e in about a years time who will be still using/developing the desire I definitely won't be.
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Sorry guys, I kind of screwed up the guide. I forgot to add /ubuntu in step 8. I just tried the tutorial myself and it works just fine.

So, the step 8 is now Run the following command; sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /INSERTPATHTOSDCARD/ubuntu/
[Desire Android Development] leeboycott:
testing now :) i shudda known that myself from the old days of running ubuntu on other devices it all goes into sdcard/ubuntu :) ( not ubuntu touch )

---------- Post added at 04:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 AM ----------

everytime i do the last command it only sends half the data to sdcard/ubuntu because is states *operation not permitted* how to fix this its never happend before this :S

rsync: chown "/media/SDDATA/ubuntu/." failed: Operation not permitted (1)

[Desire Android Development] leeboycott:
finally got it working :D you need to make sure you choose the path to your ext4 file system NOT your fat sdcard partition :D thanks OP

Needs a hell of alot resizing but im good to do that as soon as i get it resized i will release :D

Thank you I will try it again with Ubuntu subfolder

Ps: for people not having an card reader: with 4ext you can mount both sd partitions via USB :)
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
Thanks Nikez, yep... is working... slowly but it's working

big thanks for this
[Desire Android Development] grusta:
It explain our problems. :D

Before I test it again, in step 8, we must extract to the ext4 partition or the fat32 partition ? The ext4 one, right?

Edit : Nevermind, I just saw the above message.
[Desire Android Development] leeboycott:
its painfully slow lol. the operating system almost feels as if everything is just png images lol. i mean the OP dont wanna carry it on as its sooo time consuming but with his permission ide like to resize this whole thing and give it some speed. ill PM him later once i get perm ill get to work thanks
[Desire Android Development] grusta:
Just tested, it's working, thanks Nikez.

Indeed, the system is a bit slow. But the UI impressed me. It's promising !

hey guys wat is the problem in here?? help me guys...
[Desire Android Development] leeboycott:
My thoughts on the matter are as follow's.

Any rom we can have ed: sense 4 sense 3.5 CM9 CM10 CM10.1 and so on. they are the same when u take away the sense UI. but this has a whole new perspective, It's nice sleek and enjoyable. ill get done what i can and ill make it into a flashable zip but it will be big :( our system cud never handle that size so its just lucky for us w use our sdcard's :D

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

are you doing this on a virtual machine ? this didnt work for me when i did oon virtual machine or just a live CD its better to have full install of ubuntu on the HDD to get it to transfer the files without a problem and again make sure you give the path to your EXT4 partition NOT your fat32 partition thanks
[Desire Android Development] marius.a:
path /dev/sdb3/ubuntu/ is not correct
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
hmm, i thought that (shudnt have left penguin in between the project :( )

but cud possibly be der??:confused:

sdb3 is a 2nd partition of my sd card..if that helps!!
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:
Sigh.. You need to mount it.
[Desire Android Development] leeboycott:
ill pm you and get it done for ya

People are making the mistake of thinking they can give this path to sdcard ( dev/sdb1 ) when thats wrong.

EXAMPLE BELOW

(let's say your ext4 partition name is 4.3 Gb file system )

sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /media/4.3 Gb File System/ubuntu/

if you want to know the name of your ext4 partition go into your ubuntu file system then go into media then look at the names of the folders if you partitiond with 4ext recovery your fat32 partition will be named SDDATA by default so the other partition with the long set of numbers and letters is the correct partition.

go into terminal and type sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /

then click and drag the folder inside media which is your ext4 partition into the terminal then add /ubuntu on the end. untill it looks like this

sudo rsync -aP binary/casper/filesystem.dir/ /media/b496a461-f142-44cd-88b6-3408d0725f13/ubuntu (thats what mine is exactly so yours will be very similar )
[Desire Android Development] vasili_defy:
Ok guys did it!!

thnx for the help!! this just showed, wat all I missed while I trekked in himalayas :D

It's ubuntu which is laggy, it's even bit laggy on the gnex and our hardware makes more laggs.

I am sure once it will be finished it will run much better.

Kernel 3 will also help a lot, if they manage to port it

I'm not complaining. Its a start, and surely will run better in the future.

You just took the words out of my mouth! Cannot agree more.

again i have to thank you for your great work.

[Desire Android Development] Thieuke:
saddly my Desire is on a black screen for more than 15 minutes. I guess something went wrong.... It's a pity, I have seen nice things on youtube about it. I guess I try later when they are further in dedevelopment.

Thanks for the tutorial though, worked like a charm!!
[Desire Android Development] holi93:
This is only preview(no working apps, laggs, issues, etc.). Nobody develop this ROM its just for fun or show "We can do that for our old Desire". But first we need Linux kernel 3 for working UT. And nikez(main developer) stop his work for personal life and with this k3 development stoped.

dual boot

I want to dual boot this with android how to do that ?

(Within my recovery) 4ext newest version.

i saw some apps but my opinion is that those aren´t good
[Desire Android Development] tommypacker:
Not possible with the tiny size of the nand partition. Not sure why you'd want to dual boot though
[Desire Android Development] glossywhite:
Thank you for this. I worked it out after a few mins :)

You don't mention that we "cd" into the unZIPped dir (some other folks wouldn't necessarily know that) and you neglected to mention a rather crucial point - that we point the "rsync" command to the ext4 partition on the SDCARD, and NOT the FAT32.

You may be great at coding, but maybe you could hire someone who is somewhat more proficient in articulating clear instructions, to explain these matters.

Thanks all the same, at least you wrote it :)
[Desire Android Development] LaidbackNikez:

I clearly stated that this is for advanced users ONLY.

"I thought I'd do ONE tutorial to guide you on how to get Ubuntu Touch running on your HTC Desire. I will NOT offer any help other than this."

I have no obligations to hold your hand. I have no obligations to write a step-by-step guide on how to install it. I don't have to release it. You don't have to install it. If you don't find my instructions clear enough, meh, too bad.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavohan:
I saw that some devices when I insert the charger inside the plug of the tablet they switch automatically on (such as Ipad or Iphone). The tablet that I bought does not support this function but if I insert the charger, the animation of the battery automatically starts so I believe that the CPU could start the OS. After some research I figured out that I must modify the Boot Image and so I need to bake a custom rom able to boot the OS when I insert the charger into the plug. Can anyone help me? it's really important, I am been working on this in the last two months with zero results.

PLEASE HELP

I'm wondering how to factory reset because I'm on CM10 and I need to send my phone in for warranty.

The mini usb port on the bottom on the phone doesn't really work.

Is there any way i can download a backup file or something like that to make my phone go back into the original rom and then i can factory reset and unroot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Get in recovery and make a nandroid backup. You can also use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data. You'll have to made a copy of those files on your pc to get them back once your phone is back.

You'll have to reset the flash counter (while you're rooted), flash stock firmware with Odin (can be found in the Dev section) and factory reset in recovery.

Also, backup your pics and such (DCIM folder) to your pc if you wanna keep them.

Last thing, take time to search next time ;) it has been covered quite a few times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
he said the micro usb port isnt working though. all this below is assuming you made a nandroid and have a micro sd card.

here's a link to a page that details how to setup your phone for return. this page is for the i9300 but i've included the links for i747 to use whenever an i9300 file is requested. after your nandroid restore and initial boot, see what base band you're on to know which modem you might need. read over the link a few times to become familiar and proceed at your own risk.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Good point. I'll add to this though, he can use mobile Odin to flash to stock if his micro usb port isn't working well enough.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bioelectrik Noize:
Hey thank you guys! I haven't started this yet but when i tried to use mobile odin to flash to stock, my phone would bootloop. Do you think that will happen again if i try this? Is it mobile odin or?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
Depends really on several factors. Are you able to get into stock recovery and do a factory reset in there ? Sometimes helps after flashing stock in odin
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Hednik is right. If you've accomplished a successful odin flash (no errors) go ahead and wipe data/cache in recovery. After flashing stock in odin, it is common for phones to bootloop or stick at the samsung logo. A wipe usually resolves this
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bioelectrik Noize:
When im in the bootloop I have no stock recovery! Like if i held my home and up volume it would do nothing but bootloop

& This will take me from cm10 to stock correct?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
If in a bootloop pull the battery and try to get into recovery. I guess I am confused...are you still on CM10 ? Have to flashed stock recovery yet ?

You said you microUSB port does work so getting download mode might be an issue but it you bootloop you should be able to get into stock recovery. Tell us that you have done already so far and where you are
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bioelectrik Noize:
Alright I'm still on cm10. I've tried to flash stock rom before but it put me in a boot loop and I couldn't get into stock recovery. Am I supposed to install stock recovery? I'm really lost. I'm sorry
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bioelectrik Noize:
Oh! and one more thing. I made a Nandroid backup but while reading the guide to return to stock, you need stock nandroid right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
yep. keep it on the external SD card or your hard drive so its safe for when you might need it

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

Do you have an external SD card you can load a stock rooted ROM and then try to flash back to complete factory stock with Odin ?

Try and flash this.... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2161667

and then do a factory reset
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bioelectrik Noize:
Yeah I have a 16gb external micro sd. I'll try that tonight. I have to take my phone in tomorrow.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daggerNC:
My phone continues to have an issue turning on Bluetooth after a power down/power up cycle or Reboot. It hasn't always been this way, say just the last 3 or 4 months. I'm now running the PartyBoy 4.0.4 ROM and still have this issue. After a new boot, I'll try to turn on Bluetooth from the Settings menu or from the tool bar, but it will just get stuck at "Turning on Bluetooth" message. Sometimes multiple reboots works, but I usually have to do a battery pull, and then it finally comes on. Now, once it turns on, I'm good to go. I can toggle it off, then on over and over and it starts up in just a second or two - until then next new ROM I install or a power cycle... So my Bluetooth works just fine, but only once I can get it enabled. Anybody else? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wave_sailor:
Bluetooth is very buggy and tempermental (and will make you go mental). I've flashed all sorts of roms until I was blue to try to solve my BT problems.

Try ODIN back to a stock rom and test.

Now, I'm on CM 10.1 nightly and BT is working great. CM 10.1 battery is pretty good now since February 22nd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daggerNC:
Thanks wave, not glad that you also have experienced BT issues and on multiple ROMs - just good to know that it isn't just my device. I've been thinking of going back to a fresh ODIN stock image and starting there. Maybe I should dip my toes back into the CM based ROMs again if you're getting good stability. Cheers.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daggerNC:
Resurrecting this thread due to continued Bluetooth issues to see if there is anything "new" that's been discovered but I haven't seen in my searches. I'd say that 8 or 9 times out of 10 restarts, my Bluetooth will not turn on. I've restored to stock, and have tried many different ROMs, but I'm just running 4.1.2 based ROMs now so I can keep WiFi calling on my GS-II. Not this is not an issue of dropping bluetooth connections, but rather just turning it on. I usually have to remove the battery (hard reset) to get it to work, and then it works flawlessly until my next reboot. If anyone has anything new for me to try, it will be much appreciated. Thanks.

can u help me..upload this backup for me..im realy need that..please...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novjean:
Dude had the same issue on my galaxy S2 and resolved it. You dont need the backup. I downloaded the

The .pit file for my gt-i9100g (http://data.hu/get/4697903/omap4_all_20110627_emmc.pit)

The stock ROM from sammobile. (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=13292)

The JB Bootloader. (I downloaded the stock by Ryuinferno)

The stock JB kernel.

Opened odin v1.85.

Then i used the vol down+home+lock keys together to try to open the download mode ( but ended up in the "Firmware error " page) and connected phone to the pc. It shows "Added!" in the message box.

Repartition with the .pit and it will reboot.

Disconnect

Get into download mode and install the bootloader and it should reboot when done. Disconnect.

Get into download mode and connect

Installed the kernel through odin and reboot

Download mode again and install the ROM through odin.

If the phone gets stuck in boot loop (samsung logo over and over),

get into recovery mode ( for s2, vol up+home+lock, it needs to be pressed intermittently)

Then do a full format along with wipe cache.

And then the phone finally booted completely. :laugh: . Good Luck.

Note: I'm not sure to boot into recovery and download are the same key combos as it was for the i9100g.
