I think

I think I figured it out, you need to make sure Busybox is installed beforehand. Sometimes, Busybox isn't installed, I wrote a script that installs Busybox here:

http://androlinux.com/android-ubuntu-development/how-to-install-busybox-on-your-android/

You can check if Busybox is installed by typing a command like "cp" on Android shell, if you get error, that means you need Busybox installed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zedomax:

I haven't tried but you should be able to for sheezy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] zedomax:
Yes

Yes, you can get into Ubuntu via tightVNCserver, can't run X11 natively though unless you replace the whole Android with Ubuntu but that makes your phone useless.

cp gives:

cp

BusyBox v1.16.2androidfull (2010-08-01 14:57:25 EDT) multi-call binary.

So it is installed... Sorry ;)

edit: I found a newer version with the Busybox app that I downloaded through the marktet, and I updated, and now I get:

cp

BusyBox v1.17.1 (2010-08-12 23:44:34 CDT) multi-call binary.

But I still get:

Think that means you need a kernel with loop device support... I'm having the same problem. I installed the virtuos kernel but now my touch screen doesn't respond to touch ~_~
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Kainous:
typed cp and it said BusyBox v1.16 androidfull(2010-08-01 14:57:35_ multi-call binary

Then it explained what cp does and the options that can be appended (like in BASH).

So I don't think that's it.

Anyone have any luck getting this to work?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] neckface:
Works fine on Paul's Desire Z port. Since the kernel supports loop devices. Check out G2hacks.com for the how to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] techemically:
I was able to get this to work with great success on the stock ROM by changing the 3 spots in the bootubuntu script to a different loop device (I.e., from loop1 to loop7) but since I am now on a custom 2.3.4 ROM it has failed with the same old error and I have tried every loo device in the framework. Seems they are all allocated to something already and I do not know how to resolve this issue. Any help would be GREAT!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kemimarie:
Just got off the phone with 611, they said that a update should be sent out this week and/or by next week.

It was confirmed around 1pm yesterday! BELIEVE IT!

Froyo here we come!

Im running a Cm6 Nightly build and I love it, I'm still contemplating about getting the update of just staying rooted. We'll see ;)

Happy Flashing!

Okay guys, good and bad news!

I decided to call 2 more times bc Tmobile has the tendency to lie to customers, so there will not be a update coming out for us as of yet..

Sadness news I've ever given..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] arayray:
It makes me mad sometimes i was talking to a rep (dust under my screen) and i asked if the update was coming out soon... and the lady said were not even getting one :mad: i hope this is true i heard it may start pushing on the 25th
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kemimarie:
Awwee, well I hope this dude wasnt lying to me either..

We'll have to wait and se :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] KCRic:
This would be so sweet:D I probably won't unroot since I'm sure within the first day or so, somebody will post the rom (rooted) and I can save myself some trouble.

Yes ChiefzReloaded would defo do that.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Well I called tmobile and they said that they are planning to update our phones to 2.2 but not until the Mytouch 4G is coming out.

Edit: This is what I got from this website... http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/myTouch-3G/Ladies-and-Gentleman-Froyo/td-p/496813

"Q: When can non myTouch 3G devices expect the Android 2.2 (aka Froyo update)

A: We are working to provide Froyo at a later date for non myTouch 3G devices. (i.e. myTouch 3.5mm jack, Fender Limited Edition and Slide) Check T-Mobile Forums for updates."
[myTouch 3G Slide General] cberbes:
I honestly don't know why anybody would trust ANY of the call center CSRs. It's clear they don't know ANYTHING. They are typical tier 1 type support staff who only know how to read from a script. Step 1: power cycle, step 2: reset the phone...ect ect. They don't have any inside info on release dates for updates....clearly. Because both on here and the Tmo forums, I read all kinds of comments about what info people are getting when they call support. Some say the Slide is getting it tomorrow, some say next month, some say never....and some say "What is Froyo?".

The BEST information source is this forum and the Tmo forums. Every leaked phone, or leaked OS update, has been a bad scan or photo of an internal memo given to employees. THEN you will have the date. Until then, anybody who claims to know when or have a date is just completely guessing or listening to false information from someone else who is guessing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kemimarie:
Gosh, thats all the way in November anyway so looks like we have to wait.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kemimarie:
lol thanks for that info, will check it out :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
I actually got word from a rep in the store that end of august was the target date. But at this point.. i've seen/heard/read so many "a rep told me...." stories i don't pay any of them any attention. All official docs say we'll get it at a "later date" and I'm happy with that. to be honest.. i'm only hoping it comes out so devs can mod it and get fully functioning bluetooth and sense ported over. I'm not interested in the stock one from t-mo. CM has more options. i'm good with that right thur.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
We're definitely getting it right after the myTouch 4g. T-Mo is making chess moves, in other words they're playing it smart by giving us a chance to get rid of the Slide and pick up the 4g. The 4g is a very good phone but it still isn't enough for me to drop the Slide. If you watch the video reviews the software is very similiar. The processor and front cam is another story though. If we all had the Froyo update with flash support then I don't think that most of us would buy the phone and that's why T-mo isn't giving us the update till the phone is released. The only way I'm dropping the Slide is for the Nexus 2. Google's flagship phone will always get updates before any other phone.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
I'm not going anywhere near the 4g. If the G2 root problems are any indicator.. the 4g my be just as hard to get rooted.. and secondly

i like my friggin keyboard. and no one uses vid calls! i have friends with iphone 4. they use it to show off to other non iphone people... thats it.. they rarely make calls that way
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I agree with you, but that's only as of right now. Video calls is the future so more and more people will have it. It will be the new standard, but I can live without it. I love having a physical keyboard although swype works well. I think T-mo is gonna release a keyboard version accouple months down the line.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] btate0121:
agreed. I think they will as well and I'll probably jump on that one. I was kind of hoping there would have been a cam on the g2 but alas... there was not... so right now i don't really see it as an "upgrade" from a slide... thats more like a lateral move... i mean really.. what are you gaining? a faster processor.... on a mobile phone....?!? other than that the hinge is cool and it's a sleek device. but I'm not shelling out hundreds for that. I'll await the next mytouch with keyboard (besides.. i LIKE the sense ui... i HATE the genius button)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] OuncE718:
I love the sense ui also. The genius button has potential, but the biggest downside is the load time. I thought it was a low processor issue, but if you watch a few reviews on youtube of the myTouch 4g then you'll see that even it loads the software slow so it must be the program that needs tweaking. As for waiting for the next slide, i would choose the nexus 2 if it comes first so you know that you're guaranteed updates.

[Captivate General] Justinph5:
Just got an email from Samsung asking me to do a survey about their phone for $25. It was funny because the survey only asked about the positives of the phone (screen, contact sync's, entertainment) and said nothing about GPS or updates. It did have a part at the end asking about Samsung the company though, where the 'Caring' part got a 1 from me. ;) I just know that this survey is not going to help them at all, since they don't even have areas dedicated to the phones issues.

"Thank you for your feedback! The survey is now complete. You should expect to receive your $25 prepaid debit card within the next few weeks."
[Captivate General] DaveyBB:
I got the same notification and just completed the survey. There are spots to write in your three favorite and three least favorite aspects of the phone...I hope they read them.

i rooted on my old phone when i was on 1.47xxx, i had to send it back to sprint and now im on 3.26.651.6 but i do not want to run unrevoked...i dont know, it just rubs me the wrong way. is there anyway i can do that??? i tried searching for root 3.26 but nothing really helps...

could i downgrade to 1.47 and then root? anybody done that? sorry for the idiotic question...after i rooted the first time, i stopped paying attention to root topics and dont know how advanced rooting is now. i nkow theres a new ota 3.29 but i havent upgraded yet...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Unrevoked 3.21 works very well, I recommend using it. If you do, you'll be rooted in 5 minutes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
You can downgrade in Regaw's how to root 2.2, and then instead of running unrevoked you can use any other root method for 2.1.

Edit... I did it this way too.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeancw:
can you point me in the right way with regaws?? i just trully dont like unrevoked...i dont know why i dont trust it lol...

last night i tried unrevoked 3.21 and didnt work...i just cannot stand that program i dont know why. i think ever since they broke everybodies 4G i dont trust it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
I rooted with simple root the first time with my phone. Then I got one for my wife with 3.26 and I rooted it with unrevoked 3.21 and honestly its easy as hell. I would just suggest using Amon afterwards. The only way unrevoked has issues working is if you dont install the HBoot driver properly. Other than that its just click and wait it out no downgrading

P.S. I felt the same way you did about unrevoked but they have come a long way and I really dont hear many issues with the new 3.21... IMO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeancw:
well i dont know. i tried it yesterday and it didnt work for me. so i said to hell with it. but i dont know, maybe ill give it another try.

what exactly does unrevoked do vs. other methods of rooting? i downloaded the file and it was only 23mb...when i rooted my first time the file was like 171mb plus the recovery image and eng boot yada yada yada...maybe i just need a refresher course lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
unrevoked needs the ABSOLUTE NEWEST software. try manually upgrading (settings, system updates, htc software update) and then try it. it is small bcuz it doesn't wipe you and install a completely new firmware and software that is rooted (hard way) it simply exploits the software you already have with no wipe (easy way)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That's not true. I just rooted using unrevoked 3.21 with the previous software version on my Evo. After rooting with unrevoked, I flashed a rooted pc36img.zip to update to the current ota.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender1077:
Unfortunately I'm not at a computer, but there's only 1 method for rooting posted by regaw so should be easy to find.

Well, the eMMC data storage chip is not meant to be anti-root on it's own, but it's configuration makes it.. Well, anti-root.

We cannot write to it (not yet anyway), it has a write protection. The device caches all the changes the developers make to the linux file system, and loads an unchanged system from the eMMC chip upon reboot.

We'll have to wait first to see if hackers can get through the read only eMMC. Once you see that happen, then root and new ROMs are possible.

ATM afaik, people are working on the eMMC problem in the G2 at the moment, hopefully the techniques they find there will be cross-applicable to the desire HD.
