[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
I am using windows 8 64bit and when reboot the phone there isnt anything on screen just black screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Black screen is normal. Try to unplug/plug the tel...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
thanks I will try..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
it didnt work but i did reboot to recovery and then adb command start to work but now says that sbin/sh: ubuntu_chroot not found when i try to type ubuntu_chroot shell
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
you have to run adb at blackscreen not in recovery try again and copy/past me your prompt.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Thomazu:
Nice! Defenitly will try this at some point. Keep up the good work ! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xolox2k:
I had same problem no connection with PC

I come from WIN8 64b

Maybe i should try on Ubuntu :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Whippler:
Does this run android apps, or where does one get apps for ubuntu phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Rebuilt from scratch using new saucy builds, there is new bug from ubuntu in saucy builds but we can hope best result for us!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
As I know, no...

Use google next time : http://askubuntu.com/questions/247973/will-android-apps-be-compatible-with-the-ubuntu-phone-os. But maybe one day ^^ :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
I'm stucking at exactly the same step.

First im in recovery. Then at blackscreen I get shell access, but then the same sbin/sh error like [MENTION=4470205]amedian[/MENTION]

Perhaps it has something to do with the swap-partition on the sd-card... [root of sdcard could have another absolute path (but it is just a guess)]

EDIT: I started from beginning, and now I got the Blackscreen [never thought I could be happy about a blackscreen xD]

But sadly the phone wont be recognized in Blackscreen.... Changing gameing-pc with dev-pc and report back soon

EDIT2: Also not recognized by adb with my dev-pc. In device-manager: only usb-mass-storage (after 2min:with yellow "!" Device cannot be started) and "usb-connection-device" (name translated from german)

EDIT3: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES :D Thank you soooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im in ubuntu-touch but there is no touch xD Im at the startscreen but cant do anything... But it looks AWESOME :D

I cannot unlock it xD Here are my logs:

You need to have the 4 downloaded files on the root of your sdcard an more of 1GB free on it too... Maybe this is your problem...

RE: [ROM-DEV] Ubuntu Touch port for Desire Z [WIP][Sources&Alpha1 ONLINE]

You can do stuff, it took me a while to figure it out. Swipe in from the right hand side, it takes a while to get the knack of it. If you just tey prodding and swiping the screen enough like I did you'll work it out eventually ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
OMG I thought I got stuck xD SOOOOOO nice I would never have found out how to unlock xD Thank you sooo much

EDIT: This looks very promising :) I like the way the notification bar is :D I hope some Devs gonna feed this real nice base with some drivers etc :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
there is still continue that problem for me, i deletet swap portiton then tried install but it still blacksreen and adb didnt recognize my phone again how did you do it? help me plz.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BIade:
Start over again!!! and follow the instructions step by step, and word by word. After I full-wiped everything and started fresh from beginning, it worked for me...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Sorry I was really busy last weeks! but I found some times to work an little bit on it!

Now I can build with my own mods and I will relase a bootable rom with some new stuff! keep conected ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
you are great man :) i am looking forword it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gzimzzz:
if i instal ubuntu os and than if i wana to install again android can i restore it
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
yes. Do a nand backup before!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Will be following this closely. I can't wait til there is a non tethered release. Especially for those of us who don't know how to use adb too much. Great work tho this looks promising.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Ok guys, Good news.

Now we can use the original "saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip".

It's boot automatically, and wifi is fixed!

Great THANKS to W-FLO on ubuntu maillinglist!

I'll need some testers to test gsm and ril stuuf! cause I didn't have any sim to try! let me know!

Then i'll upload sources and build ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amedian:
Thats great u are number one man :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Wait I don't understand so there's a zip that I can flash using recovery and no use of adb? Or is it something else that was released? Regardless good job and keep up the good work and I wouldn't mind being a tester if you have a "untethered" release of the rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
yes sir! only 2 flashable zips... no more adb commands... I have some lag to fix!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Thomazu:
Keep up that good work ! I will try this soon :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Here a tester result :

[QUOTE=a.s.j]First tests results:

- Call works
- SMS works
- No data connection, so there is no MMS test :)

I did not find the way to set up the phones data connection, nor other things including timezone, location etc. HW keyboard works for standard input, but not for Fn, Del and other function keys. Camera does not work, any password set is fogoten after restart, including wifi pass. Wifi works fine. I was not able to find SMS app, get my contacts from Gmail etc.

In the whole, the system is bit slow, hangs every few minutes, holding power button goes to shutdown imediatelly. Home, Menu, Back, Search and touchpad does not work eather.

What should I do, what to test and what to look for?

Where the phone functions setup like BlueTooth could be found?

Best regards and keep up good work...

Ohh I understand. There is no way to build it in windows... what a pitty. I would gladly test your new alpha2. Do you have a download-Link?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
Also you have to use ubuntu x64 (quantal or raring), no windows....

Setting up Ubuntu as a dual boot or VM is easy if you want you to build, lots of guides on this. Just don't do the wubi installer, its more or less a VM that works inefficiently

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nicolas_:
firts off thanks for your effort.

but i have a problem wjth alpha 2:

when i boot my device, i get my htc start screen, but then i have a black screen :(

i did i full wipe, then installed the two zip files in recovery ( placed all 3 in my root of sd)

what can be the problem?

thx
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] utopykzebulon:
You need saucy-***** TAR.GZ include in saucy-*****-phablet-army.ZIP

If it's done just turn on your screen using the power button...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nicolas_:
i had putted that file on the root of my sd. but that didn't do anything.

or does i have to instal that also? i have just flashed the two zip files in recovery,
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a.s.j:
See what I did:

1. Downloaded the cm-10.1-20130705-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip, vision-saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip and saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

2. Extracted ubuntu-touch-saucy-armhf.tar.gz from saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip

3. Copied cm-10.1-20130705-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip, vision-saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip and ubuntu-touch-saucy-armhf.tar.gz to the root of the SD Card

4. Full whiped the phone

5. Installed cm-10.1-20130705-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip

6. Installed vision-saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip without reboot

7. Rebooted the phone...

Sometimes it took pretty long time before the UI comes in and I've seen only black screen, but after few minutes it was enough to "wake up" the phone and UI was there...

So be patient a bit, this is just a Dev "preview", not really usable, bit laggy and unstable, hangs every now and then... but still look promissing ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nicolas_:
thanks

but, Thats is exact what i did. gonna try it again and be more patiant then
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
Bro you are the man forreal. I swear I jus came on to the scene and already you got it to where it needs to be. Just wanna say good job and keep up the good work man. Also I think I'm gonna wait for the rom to become a lil more stable before I flash. But I'm egar to unwrap the xmas present that is ubuntu touch lol.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nicolas_:
it worked now. its looking awesome. good job
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
In your opinion is it "working" enough for it to be a DD?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xolox2k:
Hade same then

used option: "Foromat all partitions except SDcard"

Then install from instruction

Sorry for my eng...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] _nicolas_:
DD?? as in daily use?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
That is correct. Is it good enough?

Hey, I was offline a few days and just read what Jotha said. I didn't read the deleted posts, but I wanted to say that this is a real nice scene!! I was in a lot of diffrent scene and saw many many posts of bad manners, but not here. Keep up the good mood of this awesome helpful scene!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowmoses:
My apologies for that post. It was pretty disrespectful and abusive. I just felt as tho the user was trying to be smart as if I didn't read what the very very very first line in the post said. I understood the rom isn't supposed to be used for daily use yet. But I wanted the opinion of that user. And I took offense to the fact that someone was trying to be smart when I just wanted someone elses take on this awesome rom. But I do apologize and you guys are right we aren't here to flame anyone but to better the community so I'm sorry.

I'd like to know how they will dual boot... It could be great to have both roms to try ubuntu and run a daily Rom.....

Sorry for my absence but I have a part of my familly at home and I can't access to my computer ( and using an old notebook to compile is long.... Very long....)

What's is the difference with the newer Hboot? Why is it needed? And more importantly, where can we get it from? :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Its not newer or needed really, its just for testing to see if this will flash with the g2 vs the dz hboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=43195539

You'll find all the info needed here, the main difference is the dz has a larger system partition and g2 hboot has a larger data partition
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ahmedrzvi:
Can i put the rom file in root of My SD card and flash it in recovery? instead of bootloader?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrvelvet:
Ah, right, thanks! I think I misinterpreted the OP as I read step 1 as to flash a new hboot on the DZ too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vauvenal7:
I got a DZ lying around...rooted

Is it still for devs or is it already flashable for ppl how have no clue about adb and linux, but have flashed about 100s of android ROMs (even tried a very early ubuntu preview on the sgs 9000)?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bradley_e_smith:
Tried alpha 3 - t-mobile G2

Okay with hboot (0.84.2000) (and maybe I am doing this wrong as this is the first time trying this or maybe I need the lastest dzboot?) I did a full wipe, installed cm-10.1-20130725-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip then installed vision-saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip and placed those 2 files and ubuntu-touch-saucy-armhf.tar.gz on my sdcard.

Booted the phone, and adb devices reports:

C:\Windows\System32>adb devices

List of devices attached

HT09NR207469 recovery

I can adb shell into phone and get a #, but I don't see anything on the phone, so what am I missing?

**update**: Flashed saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip (after looking at the zip file) and after many waiting minutes 'adb devices' still shows nothing, so not sure what is up.

thanks

I have a galaxy s3 on mobalicity and am wondering how to root it and what ROMs I can install on it so please help me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: flashing roms

The first thing you need to do is to ODIN flash this CWM custom recovery to your phone.

Here is the download link for the CWM custom recovery 6.0.3.1 TAR file : "cwm-touch-6.0.3.1-d2tmo.tar"

Here is the download link to ODIN which is required to flash TAR files: http://d-h.st/Q14

Make a new folder on your desktop and extract the Odin zipfile into it, then copy the CWM custom

recovery TAR file into the same folder. (odin is a windows app which does NOT need installation.)

After that flash the .TAR file using Odin.

When that's done you can basically flash any of the CWM/TWRP flashable custom roms found here in these development

threads for the Tmobile Galaxy S3 phones by going into recovery mode on your phone and flashing any of the Tmobile cwm

zipfile custom roms.

My favorite custom rom is the "Wicked" rom which as far as I am concerned is the very best available right now.

Here is the link to the Wicked rom: http://sourceforge.net/projects/evil1art/files/evil/t-999/Wicked/Wicked_v10.zip/download

If you want more information about the wicked rom and how to flash it, here is the link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1804260

The link above will give you instructions for flashing the custom cwm flashable rom.

Once you have successfully followed all the steps in my post here you will end up with a rooted Tmobile

Samsung Galaxy S3 Touchwiz Jellybean v4.1.1 phone with the best custom rom currently available for it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yanikd:
There are a lot of ROMs available in the forum, which is good because people have different usage scenarios and preferences.

Personally I'm not a fan of touchwiz. I've been on AOSP based ROMs since I got my S3 last September.

I highly recommend CM10.1 and AOKP.

Whether you go touchwiz or AOSP, you might want to experiment with custom kernels too to squeeze out performance and battery life out of your device.

Lastly, don't forget to nandroid and use Titanium backups.

Happy flashing!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] failteck:
Thanks man for your help!!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Hey junky,

Just curious, why are you linking to a 6.0.3.2 version of cwm? 6.0.3.1 is the latest cwm has released for the S3. (It looks like the S4 uses the newer one.)

Has it been tested and proven 100% compatible? If ive missed something, please fill me in.

Not trying to give you a hard time man! But imo, its probably best to stick with the one built specifically for our device. (Or at least make the option known).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Misterjunky:
re: cwm TAR method

The reason I am linking the Odin flash cwm recovery TAR file to that particular post is that after reading some articles and

doing some tests flashing the stock T999 Tmobile firmware with odin I found out that if the kernel in any of these custom

cwm flash roms has been modifiied by the developers then we can skip the rooting process entirely since all these custom

roms are already rooted.

At first I did not believe this was possible, but after testiing it, I found out it was true.

So this means that it should work with any of the touchwiz jellybean based custom roms which have modified or custom

kernels included and it should also work on all of the AOSP/AOKP/CM10/MIUI roms as well since they do not have

the stock samsung touchwiz kernels in any of those cwm flashable roms and all of them over-write the stock kernel.

However this procedure will not work on any custom roms which come with the STOCK Samsung Tmobile S3 kernels.

I have not tested this procedure on my Galaxy S4 yet, but I am almost certain that it would also work the same way.
