Hi Guys i am new to Droid...

I am from india bought a Verizon Droid Razr maxx with .211 version.

I flashed jellybean official update.

I tried to go back to ICS :(

but phone got bricked in beween flashing with Moto RSD lite( "Cant flash boot.img").

Please i need your help ..

Expecting soltuions from Valuable XDA members...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] I Am Marino:
You can't go back I think.

I'm not too familiar with the GSM Maxx, so I may be wrong.

From JB to ICS back and forth

I have an EU Droid Razr Maxx, originally was ICS 4.0.4 then I erased my CID and installed Verizon JB Leak, erased it and installed China JB sbf using RSD Lite re-flashed my CID and flashed my EU ICS again.

please read Droid Razr Development section in XDAdevelopers you'll understand what to do, don't worry it's solved.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anuglx:
Please help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] navi7512:
Seems like your webtop partition is gone. If you want to go back to ICS you need to download a GB firmware, extract the webtop_signed and flash with this:

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qibcf1inyb7ao8y

Then flash a FULL ICS firmware using RSD.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cschuck320:
Flashing an ICS Kernel from RSD Lite is your best bet.

And in the future, don't update to JB if you continue to want to mess with ROMS and rooting. If you want to continue this, don't update to JB.

** Work-In-Progress: Ubuntu Touch Preview is just that.. a PREVIEW. Do not complain about missing features, etc. The OS isn't nearly ready for primetime. **

Curious as to how the Ubuntu Touch Preview looks? Why not load it on your Droid Bionic and see for yourself.

Instructions:

1. Make a Titanium Backup and/or backup in recovery of your current Android (or just keep it on another rom-slot). This preview is fun to play with but not a replacement for something as developed as CM 10.1

2. Download the Bionic Mini-Android base for Ubuntu Touch and place it on your device:

[03/01] http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/targa/ubuntu-phablet/ (use the newest one)

3. Download the latest Ubuntu Touch Preview Filesystem .zip from Ubuntu:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

If the above link is broken, use this link for a full listing of the current build files (download the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip .. soon to be raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip):

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch-preview/daily-preinstalled/current/

4. Reboot into Safestrap. Create a NEW 2GB ROM in the #4 slot.

IMPORTANT:

4a. Install the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip FIRST, and then the phablet-2013xxxx.zip SECOND.

5. Reboot and Enjoy

FIRST BOOT TAKES A LONG TIME. AND THERE'S NO BOOT ANIMATION. BE PATIENT (MAYBE 3-4 MINUTES).

WHAT WORKS:

Display

Touch screen

Wifi

Audio

WHAT DOESN'T WORK:

There's so much that is still being implemented into the Touch version of Ubuntu, that this list could get pretty long.

Barely any sensors other than touchscreen work. IE: no rotation, etc. Ubuntu WIP issue.

No HD codecs (still being worked on) Ubuntu WIP issue.

No screen timeout / auto blank -- be careful when walking away from the device. Need to press the power button to turn the screen off. Ubuntu WIP issue.

thank you... let's give it a shot!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silvernirvash:
So does data work yet? Because you never mentioned data yet.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zlebors:
wifi work... boot up in +/- 2minutes
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silvernirvash:
So no data yet lol. Oh and where are the system settings I don't see any other then the quick toggle settings and the soft keys don't actually do anything it seems. Oh also they are always lit up...... Kinda annoying. But so far pretty cool lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tw1n5nak35:
Big thanks Hashcode, I will give this a try :D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sjflowerhorn:
Whaaaaaaaat!? Ubuntu touch on the locked down Bionic!? I'm happy to see your still holding it down hear hash, even with the DNA being fully unlocked and s-off we don't have even 1/4 of the development that the bionic has let alone a nexus phone. Kudos brudda.

The hw keys are lit, and the screen is backlit.

What am I doing wrong?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidisLINUX:
If you updated to official rooted jellybean you are out of luck, you can try to use dd command from linux terminal to copy each partition back to .905 to your phone while in recovery but you might brick your phone while doing it, I posted what all the partitions were if you have a large enough sdcard you can put every IMG on your phone in recovery from and type

dd if=/sdcard/IMG of=/dev/block/correctimgtoreplace

Skip replacing recovery and hope you didn't brick your device. I have done it before to get back to 895 but I got pretty close to bricking my phone while doing it. I finally got it to work but wouldn't recommend doing it unless you know alot about linux/Android and your phone.

Has there been any work done since this thread was made? If there's been an update I'd like to know what the update contains.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrk190:
I think that Ubuntu for phones will be great on Bionic. We've already got convergence, in a way, and if you could run Android apps on it, I'd be set!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] silvernirvash:
I don't see why it couldn't run android apps on it I mean under the skinning they are both Linux so..... It's very possible. Hell the new bb10 phone allows side loading of android apps and that isn't even based on Linux LOL
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sheradrax:
Does 3g work on this yet? It's the only reason I wont try it. Plus last time iI tried it it sat on the black screen for about half an hour before I pulled the battery and went back to my normal rom.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidisLINUX:
There is a new Daily Driver version of ubuntu-touch 13, old quantel is 12, now there is saucy. you should take a look at it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrk190:
Has anyone managed to get this to successfully boot? If it works, I'll try it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrk190:
Has anyone managed to get this booting, or tried the latest stable? With the newer version of safestrap, is it required to have such a large partition?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] irish_711:
Do we know if it can be flashed in SafeStrap 3.6? Or do we need to downgrade to a previous version.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] DroidisLINUX:
I got it installed on the newest version of safestrap, it runs, can't figure out settings or how to edit them, touch works but realty not much more camera works phone might on WiFi I haven't used it. WiFi works too. But the soft keys and volume doesn't work. There are not many apps either

[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
Hi,

I've got Ubuntu Touch running on my Xoom, not perfectly. I have an LTE Xoom, but I'm building as if it is Wifi Only (I no longer have service on LTE).

Issues:

Font rendering in some places is unreadable.

Display settings have to be manually tweaked in /usr/bin/ubuntu-session to set GRID_UNIT_PX=10

Have not tested sound at all

Camera doesn't seem to work

Haven't tested GPS

Installation instructions:

reboot in recovery

wipe

install base Xoom (Wingray) Image: cm-10.1-20130228-UNOFFICIAL-wingray.zip md5: b1391ff076e67f68f89606c2ae349986

install the Ubuntu 12.10 Touch Preview, daily build quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip*

reboot

use ubuntu_chroot to edit /usr/bin/ubuntu-session and set GRID_UNIT_PX=10

reboot

Fixed:

I'm able to connect to my wifi and use the internet via an adb (ubuntu_chroot shell), but apps including the browser used from the device don't seem to have connectivity.

*This download is a daily snapshot, the latest version may or may not work, I've only tested using the version from 20130228.
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
Reserve a spot for some more technical details.
[Xoom General] mikedmor:
Could i get a link? I would love to give this a try! :good:
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
PM with the link sent, when I get to 10 posts or get moderator approval, I'll edit the original post to include the download link.

Please keep me posted on how it goes. I'll try to document the steps I took to get it running soon (very minimal, just followed the official porting guide)
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
Just finished building it as I have seen Xoom support removed from the wiki yesterday. Did you unset CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORKS to make apps work?
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
I did not unset CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORKS as it broke the build and I have not had time to investigate it further. Were you able to build with it unset? Is the networking in the apps working for you?
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
I comment several lines in the kernel source code so I can build it with the flag unset. I still can't fully boot Ubuntu Touch as the libraries used are not in the runtime path so I need to fix it. Will report here when I have time to work on it.
[Xoom General] wilson76:
Good luck on the development
[Xoom General] CBDSonline:
Thx dreamcwli and OP

This project sounds like it will be good for devs and enhanced users and it keeps the hopes of the xoom staying around for a few more years.

Keep up the work and give us hope.
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
Did you symlink libraries under /data/ubuntu/usr/lib/armeabihf to /system/lib to boot the system?
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
I did no modifications to the ubuntu partition other than changing the GRID_UNIT_PX to make the layout fit the screen better. On my first attempt the screen was black, so I took a look using adb logcat and saw:

This made me suspect it was missing some binaries (the only ones I'm using are from the Google binaries page for the Wifi Xoom).

device/moto/wingray/device_base.mk is looking for the vendor directories which do not match the directories I had after extracting them.

Then rebuild with brunch and the error was gone and the screen lit up with Ubuntu touch.
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
I have updated the location path for proprietary blobs. What I got is linker.c can't load /system/lib/libubuntu_application_api.so. Did you use Ubuntu-specific tools to build it? I am on Arch Linux so I am thinking about it those tools make different result.
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
To setup my environment, I created a new VM using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and followed the steps in "Set up your development environment" in the porting guide.
[Xoom General] darksnoopy:
Now this is interesting!!!! Xoom is not officially supported by canonical, a 14year old was trying to port it. Even if the device is not listed anymore you can send an email to canonical and tell that you will be the one to port it to xoom! Keep up the good work. i am willing to test your work! I have a UMTS_Everest xoom. If you are interested please PM the links to me :)

Cheers!
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
PM sent. The port itself has been trivial, at least getting it to boot. Easy to see why Canonical chose this path.
[Xoom General] slaming:
Very interested in this please pm me a link, I have a little knowledge of linux so I may be able to play around a bit.
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
PM'd, I should be able to edit my original post with the download links now.
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
I can confirm developers have to use phablet-dev-bootstrap tools to build it now. With phablet-dev-bootstrap you will get additional components that are required for Ubuntu Touch. I will test how network going with my build.
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
Built it and working fine now. With CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK unset I can use browser and other network apps without problem. However the usability is not good at current stage.
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
Great. Agreed on the usability at this stage. It would be helpful to the terminal usable on the device. What other changes did you have to make in order to build with CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK unset?
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
Check security/commoncap.c in the kernel source tree and comment "#ifdef CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK" and corresponding "#endif". Did you have block texts in your main screen?
[Xoom General] darksnoopy:
I have some problems setting the developer enviroment, thus i cant use ubuntu_chroot to change screen-pixel settings (linux noob)
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
Once you have the tablet booting up, you can use any Mac/Linux/Windows machine that has adb to access it.

From the shell on your local machine:

$ adb root
restarting adbd as root
$ adb shell

After the 'adb shell' command you are now using the shell on the device:

root@android:/ # ubuntu_chroot shell
root@localhost:/# ls /
bin dev lib opt run srv system var
boot etc media proc sbin SWAP.swap tmp vendor
data home mnt root selinux sys usr
root@localhost:/#
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
Thanks, I've updated the linked binary, networking seems to function properly now in the apps.
[Xoom General] mikedmor:
Ok so i just installed the files in the op. Everything starts up just fine,

Here are a few things that i notice:

Some fonts are not showing correctly

When trying to type my network password i can only press keys that are over the network pull down (other wise it closes the pull down)

Not sure if the multitasking is new in this build but it launches automatically sometimes and freezes the tablet every time.

I have a modified quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip, that i can't upload yet (post count only at 9), that doesn't require you to do the last step in the op. Once I get the privileges i will share a link. For now just PM me.
[Xoom General] dreamcwli:
This is a modified version of quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip. People can use this without manually editting ubuntu-session.

hello sorry for my english, i am french :angel: (the excuse)

asus transfomer uses the same material as the xoom.

Why not worked with the asus community for finalized ubuntu on xoom ?

I'm not developers if I could help but I tested for you

good luck

Can you provide few more instructions on how to setup chroot. I followed the chroot install instructions from: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot

Thanks for the help.
[Xoom General] walts:
Hi all.

I'm an experienced rom-flasher, most recently with Android, and not super comfortable with Linux, but I do have some limited experience there. My Xoom was running CM10

I first flashed both files from the OP, and while I could get an adb shell connection, the GUI did not come up at all. then I flashed using the quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-signed.zip from page 3, and that boots OK. As others have reported, the fonts on the home screens are unreadable even with GRID_UNIT_PX=10.

The biggest issue for me right now is WIFI. When I tap on the Networks icon, it recognizes my Access Point, but when I try to enter the network key, the on-screen keyboard vanishes as soon as I type a single key. I remember that the network configuration, including the WPA key, is kept in a config file somewhere but I can't remember the name of that file. Possibly I could edit that file via an adb shell to get WIFI working.

Any ideas, anyone?

Walt
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
USB keyboards work if you have an OTG cable to plug it in to the Xoom, that is how I put my Wifi key in.
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
ubuntu_chroot is not something you'll need to install on to your desktop, it is run on your device via adb shell.

Please take a look at this earlier post in this thread.
[Xoom General] gamming:
I like this

Keep it going guys. hope it will work.
[Xoom General] walts:
comparing two builds

As I said a few posts ago, I have gotten the

quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf-signed.zip

posted by dreamcwli to boot OK, but am having trouble with WIFI.

I decided to try the latest nightly, 20120312. That boots, but I never see the ubuntu desktop. I did a dmesg just after both versions booted and am attaching the full files in a zip below. I really am exploring new territory (for me) - i can only guess at what I'm looking at, and I have no idea at all, what to do about it. Maybe someone here on the forum can help interpret what's going on.

Walt
[Xoom General] sashykanth:
Got it. thanks. I had to flash the CM version from the post (I was on CM10.1 nightly before).
[Xoom General] skippyishappy:
The Ubuntu Touch device specific images piggyback off of Android, CyanogenMod to be exact. This lets device porting to anything already running CM10.1 fairly trivial to get up and running. The build tools have not been updated to give it a less confusing name. The file named cm-10.1-20130228-UNOFFICIAL-wingray.zip in this thread is not CyanogenMod :eek:

If I have some time this weekend I will pull in any changes, rebuild the base image, and see if it boots with the latest Ubuntu packages zip.
[Xoom General] sashykanth:
Ok thanks. I could not do much with it after installed as I could not get the wifi work and also could not get those annoying boxes replacing fonts go away. So just got the cm back up for now.
[Xoom General] cam_neely:
Not booting

Hello all,

I tried this on my european 3g Xoom but it will not even boot. Is this normal or might I have done something wrong? I used the files from the Xoom Ubuntu Touch Wiki page.

I'm going to check out Ubuntu Touch once I get my Nexus 7 and I'm sure it's much more functional compared to any other mobile OS.
