Running full debian in a chooted jail (webtopMod)

As I mentioned in the first post I use SystemR89's webtopMod to run a full debian distribution in a chooted jail (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093790)

You can install a number of very useful and fully functional linux programs in the chrooted environment and then access them from the awn menu (or if you have the file associations set up properly in defualts.list and mimeapps.list you can launch the files by double clicking on a file in the file manager).

*IMPORTANT* Some of the commands must be executed in the chrooted environment and some must be executed in the non-chrooted environment (i.e. the normal webtop environment). The following instructions tell you which environment you need to use for each command.

Once you have webtopMod installed I would recommend that the first thing you do is open an xterm window in the chrooted environment (click on the penguin and select the proper menu item for xterm) and install synaptic in the chrooted environment:

apt-get install synaptic​

You can then use synaptic to install other linux programs/packages, such as lxterminal, OpenOffice, mtpaint (gimp runs but it is really slow).

I have modified the script that SytemR89 uses to launch the chrooted environment (attached), you can replace the original script by following these steps in the non-chrooted environment:

Save the attached file,

Rename it from linux.txt to linux

Copy it to /usr/sbin

Set the permissions properly (sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/linux)​

If you want to launch a program in the chrooted environment you can do it by typing the following in the non-chrooted environment:

linux oocalc​

where oocalc is the name of a program that you have installed in the chrooted environment.

A couple of final things, you may want to setup a symlink in the chrooted environment for /sdcard (and sdcard-ext). If I recall correctly, SytemR89 was just mounting /sdcard (and /sdcard-ext) in the chrooted environment and I changed the script to mount /mnt/sdcard instead (why? so that the chrooted directories would be set up the same as the non-chrooted environment). To make a symlink between /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard in the chrooted environment. First launch an xterm window for the chrooted environment, then type in the following commands:

sudo umount /sdcard

sudo umount /mnt/sdcard

sudo mkdir /sdcard

sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard

sudo ln -s /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

sudo umount /sdcard-ext

sudo umount /mnt/sdcard-ext

sudo mkdir /sdcard-ext

sudo mkdir /mnt/sdcard-ext

sudo ln -s /mnt/sdcard-ext /sdcard-ext
​

You may get some errors telling you that something was not mounted or that a directory exists, just ignore the error(s).

Then reboot.

I also created a directory /usbdrive in the chroot'd linux environment and use the following command to mount a usb drive so that the chrooted environment can access it (run this command from the non-chooted environment)

sudo mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda1 /osh/opt/WebTopMOD/root/usbdrive​

Many thanks for posting this, it's an excellent guide.
[Atrix 4G General] yuric:
Thanks a lot, I was just starting to configure zram right before reading your post. :good:

Please explain just two things to me:

- Did you automated this to always enable swap? If so, how (init.d scripting)?

EDIT: forget about... I didn't realize what changes in /etc/fstab will do...

- You've created the swap file in the external SDCard. Isn't better to create it on EMMC?

EDIT: I've created the file on EMMC cause it's much faster and seems to be Ok!!!

I have T-Moble here in the US and updated my Pocket PC Phone edition rom versio 4.00.16 ENG and noticed they have this call barring feature in the phone settings that lets you bar incoming or aout going calls but to activate you have to enter a call barring password does anyone know what it is.

SIM PIN 1 & 2

Ok, I had an experience earlier this year where one of my t-mobile phones (not the PPC) wanted "Sim Pin 2" to access a feature. I ended up getting my sim pin blocked and called up t-mo support. After a little bit of "Try to get the information out of the dumb support person" I finally had the person ask me "Well, I could give you PUK1 and PUK2, if you think that would help", I said i thought it might, and she gave me the two keys to the kingdom (Along with what SIM PIN 2 was originally, just a random string of number). The moral: Call T-Mobile, tell them you have a feature that you can't unlock and that you think you've screwed up your phone bigtime. If they ask if you want to send it in, say no, that you think you can fix the problem if they give you these weird PUK numbers or PIN numbers. They'll probably just be happy to get you off the phone, and these might be the numbers you're looking for.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] quordandis:
Tmobile has a special plan called the "data-only" plan that automatically blocks all incoming or outgoing calls. However, it still allows emergency dialing (911) and 611 calls... Just call a rep and have them set you up with that plan! Everything costs the same...

AOA...just bought samsung galaxy s2 and wanted to root it.. i guess it is refurbished but i checked it thoroughly so it is the international s2 a.k.a GT-i9100

I flashed it using odin with siyah kernel, loaded CM10.1 and flashed it via CWM....

1.wipe data/factory reset

2.wipe cache

3.wipe dalvik cache

4.install cm10 and gapps

5.reboot

All was okay until Camera not working ￼ both front and back cam arent working so i di alot of research tried the last 5 siyaah kernels, tried to flash cm9 (ics) but no it still doesnt work... in some forums it was mentioned that it would work ig i revert back to stock firmware..

So my questions is please help me to either solve this camera issue preferably on JB or ICS then... OR please guide me to which exact file of sotck firmware should i download.... which works best with our networks... (its 500mb+ takes time ￼ )

Thanks in advance ￼

Note: not a noob, have experience flashing custom goodies on note, backflip, captivate, etc ￼ stuck on this though ￼

Update: flashed stock firmware via odin got it from samsung-updates.com. It is ics

Still no luck :( camera not working... Now when i checked for updates in cellphone its showing me an update so im trying that... P.s hardware isnt an issue b/c checked camera when the phone came in on GB..
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
I just check my ZL and it says Bootloader Unlock Allowed - NO :(

Does that mean I will never be able to unlock the bootloader and install custom ROMS? I have my phone rooted and its also SIM free if that matters. Would someone be kind enough to explain the consequences?

TIA
[Sony Xperia ZL] Dpk1:
Don't worry mate (if initially your "BL unlock allowed" was "yes")! I read it in the XZ rooting thread that if you root with a locked BL then you might have a bug resulting into BL unlock status to not allowed. Doomlord has also posted a fix for this, i think. Have a look at this thread. Hope it helps.
[Sony Xperia ZL] anirudh412:
The thing is, I didn't check if I was allowed to unlock my bootloader before I rooted it (banging my head against a wall as I type this). Any way to find out?

EDIT: Nevermind, I see that I have to flash it and if I had an unlockable BL, the status changes to yes, and if not, then nothing changes. However, how do I flash this seeing as how there is no CWM out yet?

Hi guys, i have a question:

wiht FW 4.2.1 if i reboot on bootloader screen, and in the top left of the screen, you will see a sign that says: Key drive not found .... why?

could you help me?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
Same here & a few other people I have asked also have this.

Not sure but I think everyone on 4.2.1 bootloader now has this "Key driver not found...Booting os..." message in the top left corner of bootloader.

I don't know what it means though.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickdaddy96:
Not only do I have this, but no computer I have will fastboot anything to the tablet it just sits there after I do the flash command to flash twrp for as long as I let it sit and never completes.. Also by trying to boot into recovery I get the fallen down android with the red !.

It will boot into Android just fine, I just now have no recovery. The device is unlocked because it tells me it is unlocked when I boot it, but I can't flashboot anything and it has that key driver not found thing on it also. Not sure why my recovery isn't there since the only thing I have ever done to it was unlock using the V8 tool since I am on 4.2.1 and then try to flash the right 2.4.4.0 patched version of TWRP. If it isn't seeing my device I can't see how it would have wiped my recovery.

Seen several people with my issue and have even asked a question but so far no one has responded.

Edit: I still have that error on the bootloader but I finally got TWRP to flash after going to a 3rd computer and using a USB 3.0 port. Don't know the significance of the 3.0 port but it worked so I am not asking questions.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Adndroid with a red ! means you have the stock recovery. Not sure why you can't use fastboot. I'd check all your drivers on your PC first as that is the most like cause. Start by uninstalling and reinstalling the Android SDK.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickdaddy96:
I got it to work. Weirdly It took 3 different computers before I got fastboot to recognize the tablet and allow me to flash the recovery. I was worried, but if you say the red ! means I still had a recovery then obviously it was just a communication issue with my device. The problem is now that only one of my three computers likes to communicate via fastboot and all three had the appropriate USB drivers installed. I am going to have to blame it on Windows most likely overriding and installing a wrong driver possibly.

I got TWRP and root. Debating on which ROM to flash now CROMi or Energy.

I still get that key driver missing at the top in the bootloader menu but obviously it isn't hurting anything and fastboot still works.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitfire:
Having a wifi problem with my tab where I lose connection randomly, most often when it's coming out of a sleep state but sometimes when it is active also. It will say that my wireless connection is "not in range." I'm on AOKP 4.2.2.

I don't think it is the tab itself, since I did not have the problem when I was running Hydro. Other wireless devices in my house are fine also, so I don't think it's the router. It was suggested that I try the wifi-fixer app, and that does seem to help reconnect it, but I'd like to have a more permanent fix if it's out there. I do have the option to keep wifi "on" during sleep in settings. Is there anything else I can check on my end to see why this happens or solve the problem? TIA

View attachment 1822452

The cost is 12 euros without shipping, and the quality is great. Package includes 2 protectors, a cleaning cloth, an applying card for air bubbles and dust removal stickers if dust is trapped between the glass and the protector.

It is highly resistant to fingerprints, but they can still be seen under a light. However, cleaning is very easy, with just a swipe using any fabric material. So far I am impressed. Clarity is certainly better than stock. I don't kbow how resistant to shattering the screen is now, anyone can give me an idea?

Hi! I suggest you use Cyanogenmod 10.1 by OldDroid together with the S2E app available on Play Store.

I also strongly suggest you freeze/disable unneeded system apps so that you end up with a smooth experience.

Just make sure that you format the second partition with Ext4 format.
