Sorry for insulting you. But I have was programming nearly a decade before ubuntu even existed. It is a mere derivative, and backtrack is just a set of tools.

Google is powerful, you can hack with google. Googling what ubuntu is good for is perfectly ok imo, nothing to do with much.

Im NOT in IT... BUT I code 29 hrs a day average, atleast i try.

Si pensas que ubuntu esta correlacionado con la habilidad de programar estas en la ironia.
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
I dont see how any human would not like just having backtrack ubuntu on their phone ^.^

Even if i did not know already know all the tools.... You can just read... Or something ^.^

That guide was like 1 step from what i had done off the top of my head also... -.-
[Atrix 4G General] not.a.troll:
Not mean at all. But usually a programmer or someone in the IT industry knows what backtrack's purposes are. I am afraid I was just expressing an opinion in an open forum and didn't mean to come out as insulting or hurtful. Instead, I was trying to avoid you causing damage to your phone by venturing into the unknown. Calling someone dumb on the other hand IS insulting.

hi

i have a question

i ve done all steps until 1st run of boot bt script by adb

my sh bootbt perfoming with many errors

it tells about lack of root access and "cant find directory .."

what kind of linux distributive do u use for adb, i think it may be related with my usb live linux version (dont want to install it)
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
can you send me the full output you got when you ran bootbt? Maybe also the android VERSION and the bootbt source but first read bellow.

When you finish all the editing and you upload the /BT5 folder to your cellphone. are you sure your putting everything in the INTERNAL SDCARD. And also try moving all installed apps out of INTERNAL SD and into INTERNAL MEMORY. (I think i read somewhere somekid had to remove the real sdcard also... I dont see why lol, and i didnt have too.

Then you should just load up a teminal emulator on android and type: su and then sh bootbt. You said you did "sh bootsh" from adb. I did it from phone. But once the script runs it shouldnt matter where its invoked from so long as your running as root?

Try typing adb root first from pc.

Or type su first from terminal emulator on your phone.

To reply to mot.a.troll.... Im sorry im dumb and take suddle things like that as a big insult because i really dont think knowing about ubuntu or even backtrack. Is a requirement for this or for following that guide. I am damiliar with unix... Believe it or not. And i am DEFFINITLY not in IT, idk what "it" even means whaha. All i enjoy doing is programming when i was a kid in basic, and now 90% just perl all day (for many many years)

Ill edit my insult to u since your right, and its because im dumb and get offended. I wish i never even knew what ubuntu was period lol, but setting it all up manually is hard work and i just needed things working lol
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
I dont think the problem has anything to do with your linux distro or adb. Im 99.999999999% sure lol
[Atrix 4G General] JustSueMe:
Hacker ? Backtrack? *cough* , gentoo based linux for arm next time but nice effort.

Fyi backtrack really seems ok for live cd wifi stuff, but as phone had no promiscuous mode on wifi driver, whats the point ?

Just an off note, if u want linux on atrix this badly then why not chip in with porting ubuntu touch.
[Atrix 4G General] USSRxAZ:
i ve tryed it again with other ROM and sdcard placement but i m gettin same errors (no directory's, cant mount etc)

sry i havent posted log again

p.s.

Gentop2 (Gentoo) is the best experience i had with atrix and linux at all

I wish i have a dream what somebody will compile newer and better version than 05092013 but it wont happen i guess.
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
Sorry if me being a hacker offends you or your definition of it. Personally idgaf.. my current job basicaly implies i atleast write clever enough perl to make money lol...

And for your off note... This may sound very "ignorant".. but i HATE the owners of ubuntu. and hate how closed it is. I would never help them.

Also about the promiscuous mode, I wasnt even aware phones had no promiscuous capable wifi drivers... are you sure? Either way I dont see why you NEED it for the plethora of tools offered to you just by downloading an .img file.... I understand gentoo is alot better... but i have no time? This took me 30mins... because i literally copy pasted the commands and then waited...

use your brain? I could hack on windows, ios, android, ipad, unix, linux, pickyourfavorite here... hacking is an abstraction above the operating system imho *cough* *noob* ...and chrooting android PERIOD. gives OBVIOUS benifits.

the link i found is an extremelly easy way to make it work
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
if you get an error like /local/data/mnt/ no such directory

then that means you just have to create that directory... and try again.

otherwise post your logs.

Remember what i wrote as a first reply too.
[Atrix 4G General] JustSueMe:
My definition of "hacker" is someone that manages to create a tool or find a way to overcome an obstacle that wasn't supposed to be passed, such as wifi passwords. in this sense, just by using someone elses tools doesn't put you into the category of hacker.

I see chroot can have a benefit, but not by much as it depends on the android os. As 95+% of androids wifi drivers are closed with no promiscuous mode then the generic way of wifi hacking isn't possible. Correct me of I'm wrong but I'm going to assume that's why u want backtrack

Noob? Im have a ubuntu touch port up and running already and. With custom kernel this gives much more benefit over a chroot .
[Atrix 4G General] ravilov:
OFFTOPIC: This statement alone makes you come across as a very negative and even aggressive person, so no wonder most people automatically disregard whatever else you're saying.

You shouldn't ever hate on anybody. "Can't stand them and won't help them" is a kind of arrogant self-righteous attitude that's pretty much exactly the opposite of the very spirit of this forum. You are free to have personal opinions but would probably be best you keep them to yourself.

Does it work with AtrICS ROM?
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
Nope, only GB had this kind of webtop
[Atrix 4G General] USSRxAZ:
good, i ve tried linuxonandroid couple of days ago and wasnt satisfied with "vnc linux"
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
Touche,

that said...

I still ->hate Conanical.

I spose I am a very aggressive person. :(

I dont think Im negative though. I understand hate is a strong word, but there are times when going to war is a good thing. And I have been at war against propriatary code since I was ~10 yrs old and MSFT wanted to charge me thousands of dollars to develop for them using stolen code. Canonical has chosen their side.. sorry that I get angry with certain *nix things.

And yes it should work with any rom.
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
www.leathan.net links to a non GB chrooted BT5.img
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
I might be wrong but I think due to priopriatary code all distros that run on MB860 need to VNC to access the graphical desktop :( and on pretty much all phones its like that :( :( :(

But this works on your rom.
[Atrix 4G General] andresrivas:
My mistake, I don't know from where i got the idea that this was a webtop talk, not a chrooted one. Of course, you can run chrooted linux on any android, providing it's powerfull enough
[Atrix 4G General] leathan:
All good, I just want to add youd be surprised how powerful even old android phones are. I havnt really found one incapable of chrooting a linux distro on. Granted I dont chroot for the GUI. which is the part which is highly intensive on the RAM/CPU.

I literally havnt found one that is incapable :S

Granted the latest models Ive touched are 2009/10 i think.

Reading through the load-up scripts and i can see why, its quite clever. Also what I did on my freinds old phone is modify the script to kill lots of native android processes. which were bogging down the CPU. It was specific to his firmware though.

EDIT: Ok I see from your previous phones I am wrong LOL but those are some crappy phones :P relatively speaking ofc :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ariius:
Hello all,

Today, I decided to take my EG4T in for repairs, as I believed the charging port was defective. After the Charging port was replaced, I attempted to charge it. When I did, I got was a faint blue light on the indicator. The screen flashed on and displayed the charging battery thing, but it flashed off just as quickly. (This occurred before I got the charging port replaced.) I tried different outlets and I am going to try different chargers later, but I want to know if this is the cause of a dead/bad battery.

If this helps, My computer reacts when I connect the phone to it, but disconnects when the screen turns off.

It also got very hot prior to the point of not charging at all.

Thanks in advance,

Arius.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It could be a bad battery, but it sounds like what happened when one of my battery connection pins was pushed in too far, used a paper clip to pull it back out and no problems since.

I Have C6903 Black, Bought on 14th Nov 2013 from a local mobile dealer.

Everything works fine and perfect phone, but i have a problem that is,

front camera alignment is wrong. it is not in the correct position when i look it. Please see the photo below,

is this with me only or with some other people or its sony's design..

please help me because if its only with my phone then i want to replace it..

Edit : I Just Scanned my Phone using a Scanner. Please See the Real Photos of the Phone for clear Pic of Camera Alignment..

FRONT CAMERA

BACK CAMERA

thanks
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Er, what are the pictures like... If they are fine then it's not a problem, if not then send it back
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan wst:
I have the same alignament for the front camera and it works fine. Leave it alone. It is a normal thing.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azam426:
i created it using mspaint :D Im worried because if i want to sell it later, it may cause problem. Thats why wanted to verify..

yeah cam working fine.. I see the (little) same alignment in back camera too..

i think they messed up with that shatter proof glass thing..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bogdan wst:
My back camera has a little miss-alignment too. It is working ok too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
No, what are the pictures like that your camera takes,.,,,,
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azam426:
I am not alone,, We are in the same boat.. :P

pictures are stunning because the lense area is clearly visible to outside.. the issue i (may be we) had is the alignment of the cam, its looks ugly when u see directly. i have no other camera or phone to capture the situation. But today night i will try to capture that mis alignment and post here..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Then there is no problem
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azam426:
Please dont say like that Bro.

If there is a Scratch on the Display of the Phone, but the Touch screen is working, then u can't say No Problem. Because its Damaged already.

If you want to sell the phone to someone he will say its damaged. Same in this matter also. If its Manufacture fault then i can ask for replacement.

I spent 650 dollars for this phone, and nobody want to buy a defective phone. i dont know this sony's design or some manufacturer fault.

So i just asked help from other Z1 users. I hope you can understand the situation..

I am just saying there is no problem, this is not like a scratch on the screen.

If it is not broke, then don't try to fix it.

If you want the true, your front camera compare to mine is a bit mess up. First time when I saw you camera I was thinking about kind of fake Z1. :D

This week I'm going to send finally my HTC to fix the purple problem. Just want to ask something before that. (it have android 4.3 and never rooted)

When i send it, they will factory reset my phone? (I'm not from USA, so, if the factory reset, i will lose whatsapp until i come back to my country :( )

Only need to send the phone? the original package is necesary?

How can i convice them that is hardware and not problem, because they will tell me to wait for a software fix.

Any other tip will be very helpful, thanks :D (is my first warranty claim)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pirateye:
You have to backup your phone before sending it over! If you're concern only about Whatapp then, that's a very simple issue to solve. Just backup app+data using titanium backup or mybackup and that's it, you can restore it whenever you want oh and there's another trick if you want to activate Whatsup using a different phone number then the one that is actually in the phone: copy the activation message (type it word by word) and sent it to yourself on the phone that you want Whatsup to be installed and poof! you're done (the app doesn't check the number where from the message originates and that's why it works).
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lorddavid:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bizarroterl:
This is a brand new 16GB Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 2014 Edition. All I've done is let it update firmware and the multitude of apps that came installed on it. Hardware upgrade consisted of adding a 64GB microSD card. I removed it once I found out I couldn't copy files to it.

I'm trying to copy files to the tab. I'm using the usb cable that came with it. When I connect the tablet to a PC it installs the drivers without error. I go to Windows Explorer and I can see the file system on the tablet. I try to create a folder, (EG in Downloads) on the tablet from windows explorer and I get an error after a minute or so -> "The new folder could not be created in this location. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." This error occurs with and without the sdcard installed when writing to internal or external memory.

The tablet is set up so USB is connected as a media device.

I also tried Kies 3 but results were similar, except that the error in kies was less informative.

Same errors/problems occur from 2 different PCs - a Win 7 Pro x64 and a Win 7 Ult x32.

I'm pretty frustrated now. I've spent a couplke hours messing with this thing. One of the reasons I bought it over a ipad was so I could easily transfer files. It's turning out it worse that Apple & their itunes junk. :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bizarroterl:
I found one way to get files over. Pull the microSD, put it in a USB card reader, attach to my PC, transfer the files to the card and replace the card in the tablet.

SNEAKERNET LIVES!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] EasyOne:
Just plugged my new 64gb Galaxy Note 10.1 into my Windows 8.1 laptop, waited about a minute to "install software" whatever that means - drivers? Under "This PC - Devices and Drives" is SM-P600. Both the tablet and micro-sd cards are there and I had no trouble creating a new folder and copying files to it for either one. So, no problems there. How is the card formatted? NTFS,FAT32, etc
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Bizarroterl:
I did the copy at work and now I'm home. I insert the microSD and all the files are there. Only ths file names are gibberish. This card was initialized in the tablet.

I leave tomorrow am early for a 2 week vacation. This tablet was bought specifically so I could do some reading while on vacation.

This POS is going back. I should have bought an ipad. At least I would have something usable.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] internetpilot:
Your 64GB MIcroSD card is a SDXC -- you may want to check your card reader to make sure that it is SDXC capable and not just SDHC. If you're using a SD card reader built-in to a PC, chances are pretty good that it's not SDXC.

I just bought a Samsung 64GB UHS-I card for my 16GB Note 10.1 2014 and even though I have four different card readers (one of them just a couple months old), none of them can read or write to a SDXC card. So I plugged in my tablet to my USB port on my PC, and even though I know I have the latest Samsung drivers on it, it didn't recognize it as a storage device. I switched it to being a "camera" in the settings of the tablet and my desktop found both the internal 16GB card and the external 64GB card and I was able to copy all of my data from my other tablet's 32GB SDHC card over to the 64GB card that way.

Just FYI, I'm the only one in my family of six who has an Android tablet -- my wife and four children all have iPads, and I've had to setup/configure each one. I would rather slam my own head in a car door 25 times than configure even just one more frickin' iPad. Each one I encountered something completely different, there's little to no help on the internet (can't tell you how many times I was told, "You'll probably have to take it in to your local Apple Store's Genius Bar" for EVERY...SINGLE....ISSUE....I....ENCOUNTERED. And I'm not even USING these iPads -- I'm just trying to set them up, get them synced with long-time iTunes accounts, etc. If you want an iPad, go for it. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] ikecomp:
I have no issues copying to my 32 GB SD card or the internal memory in the tablet itself. I should mention my 32 GB card is formatted as exFAT. Also, make sure your tablet is unlocked when you initially connect it. I found out with my galaxy note 2 that if I have a passcode on it and the device is locked, my pc will not recognize the storage present on the device until I unlock it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] grimloktt:
It's b/c the file you're trying to copy over is corrupt.

You can also use Samsung Link so you don't have to use a USB connection. It provides root-level access on the mobile devices and PCs it's installed on.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] colint3:
Go to settings then General then "about device" tap on the build number 10 times and you will see Developer options appear. in developer options click USB debugging.

Hopefully this will allow you to see your sd card and you can then move files freely between your computer and the tablet.

Got my Xperia z1 yesterday, went to put in my sim card, and the phone states "Sim card inserted, shutting off" and restarts itself, then, when it turns back on though, it tells me i havent got a sim inserted, and hence i have a fairly useless phone. I take out the sim and it tells me "Sim removed, shutting off" again, and this cycle repeats itself. I Scoured other XDA threads and ultimately found the phone was not sim/network unlocked. I've done a factory reset, and still nothing. I tried my sim in my other phone and it works fine. If anyone has any reason why my phone can detect the sim card but not use it, and has a fix for this problem, i would be endlessly greatful, thanks all.

I did not send it back immediately because I had a regular sim card which i cut down to micro-sim size, so my first suspicions were that it was a sim card problem, but after trying all these methods (Including other sims) i realise now it is defective, so I'm sending it back. Thankyou though
