Ok I got it running however I cant get the wireless to scan under bt
[EVO 4G Android Development] kikwear002:
Surprised this is not more popular
[EVO 4G Android Development] Gr8gorilla:
I manually pushed the files but it does nothing except sit at the debdroid screen.

I suppose I could take the time to put it in a Zip that would flash with an updater.script but that is kinda the maker of the apps job.......

any suggestions on how to get it working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dasmoover:
There is a flashable zip... make sure the debian.img is in the correct folder. /sdcard/debian/debian.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] vdub804:
can someone mirror the zip I can't access gitbrew or find the download anywhere
[EVO 4G Android Development] k4p741nkrunch:
Second that, OP's links are down, even the mirror.
[EVO 4G Android Development] XIPRELAY2010:
a wrapper for all 43xx chipsets found on 90% of all android phones

it has very limited monitor mode capability but should capture wild packets

FINALLY!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kamaleon:
OP's links are still down, even the mirror. Where can I get it. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] wiQbold:
mirrors, pls :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] dasmoover:
I apologize for the long downtime, all mirrors are now back up, links can be found at gitbrew.org/debdroid/

thanks for your patience.
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikstar:
Flash zip doesent work with newest cwm... do you still have v1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kalwar:
It gives updater script problem or something like that. Can't flash debdroid.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nicatronTg:
You need to rebuild the updater to support CWM 3:

Installing update...

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TPNolan224:
Been waiting a year and a day for this. Thank you!

Now all we need is someone to make a tutorial on how to cook this into a rom.

Can you tell me, is this based on the broadcom 802.11 source ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] roar109:
You know if this package/distro will work with a honeycomb tablet? for example a SGT 10.1 with root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TPNolan224:
Well I tried the wrapper and it seems to work, but i cant seem to be able to get the monitoring channel to change from 6 to anything else.

I guess its progress, but still :-/

Can someone else give it a shot !?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tr1px:
Awesome!!!

Got it working finally on my HTC Evo 4G running Cyanogen Mod 7 latest. I used Better terminal from the market and I set it preferences to automatically be root and enter bash when started which fixed issues I was having before.

Before I got an error that could not complete because chroot did not work until I did the steps above just in case someone else is having this issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ultra spikey:
I'm trying Debdroid on my old HTC G1 with CM6.1. After I flash the zip file, I lose root. Anyone else experience this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] XIPRELAY2010:
I've never heard of anyone actually loosing root before, that very interesting.

Can you give us more details, are you using a CM6.1 nightly ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] futuregps:
Hi,

Finally I managed to run debdroid on SGS plus (GT-I9001 - I9001XXKG3{GINGERBREAD} with 2.6.35.7 stock kernel).

But I've got few problems:

1) Can't check free space on mounted file system. (Cannot read table of mounted file systems: no such file or directory)

2) After I type 'exit', the script doesn't unmount loop file system. (Can't umount /dev/block/loop255 system or resource busy). So I don't know if debdroid is running or not.

3) When I try to execute 'apt-get install mc', the script ends with error: end of free space, but when I check in XFCE on disk it says that I've got 950MB free.

4) Actually this should be on first place. The Debdroid.apk freez when starting. So I run debdroid from terminal and works perfectly without mentioning of above problems.

Is someone got any ideas how to solve those problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 3lflre:
Anyone been able to get XIPRELAY 's monitor mode driver working ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] madunix:
i don't get what this is... lol i'm so sorry but may someone please explain this to me? it seems very interesting to me..
[EVO 4G Android Development] 3lflre:
madunix: Explain what exactly ? The backtrack distribution is for wireless signal auditing.

What do you want to know ?

Having a problem updating metasploit, any ideas?

svn: Failed to add directory 'data/svn' : an unversioned directory of the same name already exists
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
Google Reader is probably my most used app on my nook. The problem is when I read articles that have embedded YouTube videos. I can't watch them. All I see are black boxes where the video should be, and a message saying I need flash.

Thing is, some other articles, that do the same thing, will have a YouTube "thumbnail" for me to tap on to open that video with the YouTube app. When reading articles on my Palm Pre via Feeder, embedded videos do the same thing: open the YouTube app automatically.

Does anyone know why this is happening?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
When I plug my phone into the computer it just charges and nothing pops up in the notification window for me to check set to storage or whatever. In development under applications USB debugging and notification when USB connected is on. I tried different USB ports on my computer and I tried rebooting the phone but still not working. What gives?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JTownBrewer:
Does your computer recognize that something has been plugged in? (do you hear the usb inserted sound?) Have you tried plugging it into any other computers?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
I have not tried on a different computer but when I plug it in the PDA Net thing that I installed to root pops up and says that I have plugged in a device, install pda on your phone to connect (or something along those lines)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlswaney73:
Which rom are you using? if CM do you see the USB notification in the status bar? if your using windows, you might want to go into device manager and uninstall the USB host control and let windows scan and reinstall it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
I'm using cyanoginger. No I'm not seeing the USB notification in the status bar. Ill try uninstalling the USB host

edit: reinstalled the device driver and still no change. must be a problem with the ROM then eh?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
Usb connection was working fine when I posted the rom, try reflashing it and then run fix permissions using rom manager ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
Yeah I've been using it since it came out and had no problems with it. The USB has been working fine then yesterday I tried it out and it wasn't working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlswaney73:
Have you tried pulling the card and using a USB card reader on your PC? if the card cant be read with the card reader your SD card maybe going or gone bad... if it does read it, might want to backup and format it with the SD assoc format tool

Edit: is this the original SD card that came with your MT3GS? class 2 8gb Samsung... at least that's what mine was?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
Oh I see... then try what the previous post says, backup your sd and format it. also it might be your usb port and/or cable's fault... even if the phone starts charging it doesnt mean the cable is making a good contact :/

it happens to me sometimes my dog went nom nom nom on my usb cable so it fails to connect properly sometimes xD

EDIT: you know what, try this and that way we can blame the rom if it works...

go into recovery and under partitions select mount usb and plug your phone to your computer, if it mounts and you see all your sdcard's contents then you just need to wipe and reflash ^_^
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saneless:
When I had this problem I had to get a replacement
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImHuge07:
It mounted in recovery and I was able to see the contents. Must be a problem with the ROM. I wonder how that happened? The other day my phone restarted randomly and usually it boots right up when it does that but this time it got stuck at the boot screen and I had to pull the battery and try again. Maybe that broke it somehow?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etu_aty:
maybe lol backup with titanium, wipe and reflash ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pettigrew95:
Did you flash miguelthekernel? I hear that kernel breaks USB mounting capability. It did for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
No, I'm on miguels smartass kernel with cm7 rc1, I can mount just fine. I would just wipe and reflash, should fix it. If not, try a different rom. If that doesn't work, then its hardware. Does adb work?

I was using arayray revamped themed and mounting was fine then i flashed miguelthekernel and that was it from that point on i could not mount USB

Hy X10 users!

Time has come to upgrade from Blue Sparks ROM to 2.2 CyanogenMod.

There are three to choose from:

[nekkidtruth] TMR_CyanogenMod_007

[rendeiro2005] Cyanogen6.1.1_v02

[Wolfbreak] CM 6.1.1 Tweaked and with Extras

Which one do you think is the best to use ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
I prefer [rendeiro2005] Cyanogen6.1.1_v02

but you can backup your system and try everyone of these ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msprahalad:
Go for!!!

[rendeiro2005] Cyanogen6.1.1_v02
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javagreen:
I'm in the same boat as you are. I'm having a hard time deciding which CM should I gun for.

All I need is stability with a wide choice if themes.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
Simply backup and experiment ;)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spreketek:
[rendeiro2005] Cyanogen6.1.1_v02 for me too. worked almost perfectly in this unit. but as they said you can try them all and installing each from xrec should not take more than 10 minutes :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheArchenemy:
6.1.1 tweaked is a simple looking rom and I thought i was on 2.1 until I checked!

Go for 6.11 v02 and mess with that :) it has CM all over it!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yaga18:
I just tried the Wolfbreak CM 6.1.1 with Update and I'm disappointed :(

At first try I could log into google account, downloaded some apps at market, but when I tried youtube it force closed. So I did a restart, but it stuck at the loading screen. :( Did a full wipe and started all over again. At second try the wifi stuck at scanning so I could not log into network... I say these roms needs a bit more time to get those nasty bugs fixed. At least I saw flash working flawlessly, which is quite promising. Should I try FreeX10 | BETA 4 or it also has similar issues ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mezo9090:
Strange, i am on wolfbreak's rom and all i can say is that its Rock Solid

Personaly, i love its elegant theme too. :) matter of taste :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buddha:
This is all just matter or taste.

Make a backup, try every each one and then decide ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
Why have they have not posted the stock recovery images yet! This is killing me I'm getting sick and tired of waiting. If they are not up by the end of the night I don't know what I will do. What do you guys think the problem is?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tominater12:
Why does it matter?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darrien13:
In case I want to return to stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
You should have made a nandroid image of your system when it was stock and tucked it away on your computer someplace for safe keeping. There's stock nandroid images in the development section if you need one.

That said, I'd like to see Google post something we know is straight from them and 100% pure.

Lots of people griping Google hasn't posted them, but has anyone actually bothered to ask them if they will, and when they will? Perhaps over on the Google Help Forums where that ry_guy seems very responsive to questions? Maybe it's just an oversight and not some nefarious plot to deprive us of stock images.

Wouldn't hurt to ask Samsung either. Perhaps tweet it to @galaxyssupport. They'll just tell you they'll pass it along to google, but if enough people bug them about it, maybe they really will...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
check out the stock image in DEV forum with Odin, and original ROM out of the box

[Nook Color General] jrm83mrj:
Just gave in today and bought my NC.

I'm relatively new to the android nook world. I can mod psp's, 360's and PS3's but I can't get what seems like the easiest thing in the world done. I'm great at following directions, so school me!

My problem is this: I've successfully rooted my new nook, however, after writing the froyo image to my 32G sdhc class 4 card and inserting it into my powered down nook, upon reboot it sticks on a black screen with "A N D R O I D _" in the upper left (or lower left, depending on your orientation) side of the screen. I can take out the card, power down my nook, and reboot normally, but it just doesn't wanna run froyo. Did I not write the card correctly? Not add a partition where I should have? I dunno what I did wrong, someone point me in the right direction :)
[Nook Color General] fatnemesis:
There is a known issue with cards larger than 8Gb - so far I wasn't able to use reliably Froyo or Honeycomb from any 16Gb card I've used. It always corrupts the data partition somehow. Several people have reported it, so it may be similar issue as well. Try a smaller card.
[Nook Color General] jrm83mrj:
Thanks :)

Thank you very much :)

I got to thinking that I might just use adb and get it working that way. If I install it to the internal memory could I still use the 32 or am I stuck using the 8?
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
So, as the title states, I am about to quit. I keep having problems with software and hardware alike. I'm like on my

tenth

NS... I think I would be leaving Android for a while too. If I returned it I would go with a BB 9780. I don't know, I would love your opinions though, because, surprisingly enough, this is a hard decision.

Thanks all. :(
[Nexus S General] rabiehitter:
I say sell it & get the Motorola Atrix when it comes out. It's a really powerful phone. However you might want to wait a few weeks after it's out & get as much feedback & info as possible. You never know.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Thank you, but I'm not interested in Motorola, plus, there will be phones with the same specs, if not better in the coming months. I'm just disappointed in the NS, and I want to stick with Google, they deliver the best Android experience. And I've always loved BB
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
Omfg a TENTH NS??! Sounds like the store got a bad batch try a different store.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
There's three in my area. I finally bought one online (10th, got it today), and I'm just not happy at all. I was using an old BB 8900 and I loved it.
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
What is wrong?
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Another screen crease, volume buttons, random reboot, and a dead pixel.

:(
[Nexus S General] Nesster:
You seem to be extremely unlucky..
[Nexus S General] Worsty:
i agree. You are definately very down in luck to have 10? bad NS.

I'm absolutely in love with my NS coming from the N1...
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Yeah, I am... Ok. I made my mind up. I'm gonna return it. I just dont feel the magic anymore. And BB is really pulling me back.

I have a bunch of accessories including two extra batteries (1400mAh) w/charger (china), tech 21 case (from UK), samsung neoprene pouch (eBay). If anyone is interested, $65 shipped, tomorrow even if you wanted.
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Yeah I agree too, but don't you see how I'm like ready to be done with this ****?! Like, no more NS at all. I'm done.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
Easy, killer. If you don't want it, you don't want it. No biggie.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
I went through 6 of these before I found a good one.

Now that I do have a good one everything is great. Dead pixel is a problem but the volume rocker seeming loose and the screen crease are not really defects I'd say. The majority have that. If the phone is rebooting on stock 2.3 then you def got a lemon.
[Nexus S General] nardusg:
Sorry to hear that. You do have bad luck, dont hope it follows you to your next phone.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
So a "crackberry addict"* couldn't make the switch to android. That's not surprising, it's a big paradigm shift to make.

My iPhone loving friend tried a Vibrant with Froyo and hated it no end. He couldn't make the switch either.

If you went through 10 Nexus S, and they legitimately were defective, you've had the worst luck I've ever seen anyone have with phones.

Thanks for sharing.

*crackberry addict used strictly tongue in cheek and is in no way intended to be some kind of slur
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
maybe try a HTC device with Froyo 2.2

like the HTC Desire Z

it's an easier switch for BB addicts, it got a real keyboard, fast, and work properly right out of the box without any customization

i'll have picked one up for myself if it came with SAMOLED
[Nexus S General] mylexon20s:
Its funny. I had a Bold 9700 and decided to get a mytouch3g 3.5MM and after about a week, sold it and went back to my blackberry bold.. I started to get the itch about 3 months later to buy a Nexus One. Had it for about 1 month and said AGAIN, not for me, and sold it. Went back to a Bold 9700...

Now, I thought about the Nexus S and said hell, why not try it out.. SOLD THE BLACKBERRY after 1 week with the Nexus. I love the nexus s..

It took me a while, but I made the jump and i'm not going back.

Blackberry Pros : Battery life is amazing, Text, Email, BBM, Can drop it off a building and still works, solid phone. KEYBOARD IS AWESOME

Cons: App Store non-existent, almost no memory built into the phones, web is horrible !! Battery Pulls, Freezing ,should I continue ?

A good friend of mine just switched from a tour to an Evo and after a week went back to the Tour.. He is already telling me he misses the web and maps from the evo.

Long story Long : See you back here in a few months when you buy the Galaxy S 2 lol
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
So "quit" it and be done. Why do people feel the need to announce their every thought here?
[Nexus S General] ztm.000:
Because I value you my fellow xda members' opinions. Is that wrong?

I've had every kind of phone, whether it be Android (HTC Magic, Nexus One, Nexus S, WP7 (HD7), iPhone (1, 2, 3, & 4) , BlackBerry (8310, 8900, 9000), Nokia (N96, N97). So, it's not like this was my first Android experience and the NS killed it for me, I'm an experienced Android user, but I will be back one day when something amazing comes out. And for now I'm choosing BB for a replacement. But, I'm not a crackberry addict, I was like two years ago with the Bold 9000, maybe I will be now, but that's beside the point.

I just thought that your guys' opinions mattered, so thanks to the nice people here, and I'll be seeing you guys around later on.. :)

[Nexus S General] csmall:
Quit. This thread is entirely too long for another rant. Don't like it don't keep it.
[Nexus S General] tommy.snello:
I do not understand how one can prefer a bb
[Nexus S General] dman777:
I believe he should be allowed to rant. Isn't that is what forums are for...People talking? Anyways, I like to hear different opinions from people who use a product...so to the original poster....carry on!
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
BB suck.

Keep the Nexus S, you obviously want it if its your tenth phone.

If you didn't want it you would've stopped at 2 or 3.... not 10.

You kept looking for a good phone for a reason.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I said it before: This is xda-DEVELOPERS.com not xda-lets-all-*****-about-stuff.com and as such these forums are for development not complaining about how you don't like your phone. *****ing about it doesn't fix anything, it just wastes space and time. Get rid of it if you don't like it and move on. I hated my Epic 4G and I did just that.
[Nexus S General] jivemaster:
While I love this phone, I can accept some people simply can't get into it. Same with android.

As far as the software goes, there will be many many updates (there has already been a couple already), and this will continue. The random reboot bug that some people get should be solved soon via software.

As far as hardware faults are concerned, no one should put up with that. All controls and the screen should be perfect and I wouldn't accept anything less.

It is very unfortunate that your phones have all had hardware problems. I'm surprised you lasted 10.

I agree this forum gets malicious quickly. It's part of the reason why I was a lurker for 12 months before registering. But def don't leave the forums permanently because of the few who explode quickly. It's a great community with great people.

I hope you find your android soon. It's out there ... somewhere.
[Nexus S General] Bajo76:
Wow, 1700 posts in just two month and all of them in this quality :eek:
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Pardon? I'm a "***** to the consumerist world" because I told him to stop complaining on forums and actually go do something about it? Or was I a "***** to the consumerist world" when I walked into Sprint and told them that in light of the lack of support for a brand new phone, the blatant lies their salespeople had told me and my wife, and the overall horrible experience I had had with them that I would be cancelling my service and told them to make my number available for transfer as I intended to walk across the way and sign up for T-Mobile? I didn't realize advocating that people get off their fat asses to do something rather than whinge on forums was being a ***** to the consumerist world. If there is a bug, it should be discussed but just saying "Waaaaaah I don't like my phone I want to sell it, what do you guys think?" doesn't solve any issues, it doesn't help people fix their phones, or do anything but waste time and space. I think its hilarious the OP tried to go out with a bang by calling me an "ignorant forum nazi" for telling him to just leave; my stance has always been (and you can check my previous posts) that if you are not happy with your phone you should do something about it. I told him to do that and he decided to get his feelings hurt.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Yup that's why I have 97 thanks. Because I give people my honest opinion and I help people who need help.
[Nexus S General] leyvatron:
I agree with kenvan...

This is just another thread about how much he hates his phone but still managed to get it 10 times.
