For anybody else trying to do this....

Once I installed the loop fix apk, I was able to boot no problems whatsoever.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
I had it up and running last night but I cant seem to get it booted now, I've tried the boot loop fix apk no luck, even retried the whole process using the loop fix apk, still no luck it posts starting debain then send me to vnc when I go back to check the boot status it stops.

Even though I found you could install Debian on the Atrix, I am a complete noob to Linux. I cannot seem to find a way to install Flash on the Ice Weasel browser. Every time I try Install -i (and then the package) in the terminal I get an error. Has anyone installed anything on Debian yet?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] BravoMotorola:
I've had similar problems. When I hit accidentally hit 'remove debian', even after reinstalling the image, it still failed to connect. A reboot fixed it. I'm sure you have rebooted, but just in case you haven't you should try that.

Thats great, now nobody has to wait 3 hours to test this on their phone. I'll post this for the guy on the Defy forum that actually made all this!

Edit: I see you already have lol
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
yep I'm ten steps from factory resting the thing, though before I do what is the installation directory for debain I know the img need to be in the debain folder but where dose it install I've looked for it during the re attempts but haven't seen anything and if possible are there any linked files I should look to restore or reset?

Am also considering clearing the permissions to see if there was a mess there.

I have same error message. Anyone able to help us?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:
Edit: it was working....but did not reproduce when I followed these steps. So I wouldn't bother..... I would look into the debdroid link posted below instead.

"Ok, so I deleted the image but not the zip file on the sdcard and uninstalled vnc. Then I went back to debondroid and re installed, booted before installing vnc and force closed, then installed vnc and went to boot debian and IT WORKED!

One other key I read in the defy forum is to wait for a bit for debian to load before connecting in vnc.

Im sure you probably don't need all the steps but that's what I did:)"

So I am a little confused i downloaded debondroid and installed it through CM7 what do I need to do after installing CM7, how do I load up the debian squeeze img that you provided links to. Which one do you recommend the 1-5GB ive got 10GB free on my internal SD card and 8 free on my external SD card
[Atrix 4G Android Development] nosit1:
You need to go into a program like Root Explorer and find /etc/debconf.config (similar if not that file, forget the exact name) and edit where the image is located. From there you are able to go into a mobile terminal and run debshell and whatever else (after deployment).
[Atrix 4G Android Development] D_one:

Yeah ive tried rebooting the phone, uninstalling, reinstalling, booting and waiting 10min before connecting. I just cant figure out why it doesnt work. I've noticed also that if I cant connect when I go back to DebOnDroid I noticed that the Quit Debian button is un-selectable so Im thinking maybe Debian isnt booting at all and thats why it cant connect.

I cant either. I use to be able to but sense I updated to 57 I cant.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] :
Is it possible you can make a noob friendly version?

Like download and apk and an iso and thats all. Also how about a window manager already configured.

Please and thank you.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] edounn:
I got mine working perfectly by combining both debdroid and debondroid.. lol

debondroid never booted for me, like I've read others say.

Debdroid does boot for me (manually) but I couldn't get x11vnc and xfce4 displayed correctly to vnc into it.

How I did it:

Install debdroid's stuff. (flash zips do not work on atrix) Simply download debondroid's debian image and move everything in /system in the zip folder to /system on your phone. ex. /system/apps/to /system/apps/ (make sure to mount R/W on the phone)

Download the image from debondroid, put it in the same place.

sdcard/debian/debian.img (you have to make directory debian)

Make sure your /etc/debdroid.conf on the phone has the debian.img location correct with the correct name of the image.

Go to your android terminal.

type (su) debdroid to boot debdroid.

Once in debdroid start ldxsession, and vncserver.

$vncserver

$lxdsession

VNC in for the win.

password, localhost, -p 5901​

If I buy a Tegra version of a game will it work on the Optimus 3d?? OMAP4 is more powerful but is it compatible?
[LG Optimus 3D] Burko:
You can play the games on any modern android phone, Motorola Milestone onwards.

The mileage you get will vary with the processor your phone has.

The games should run better on the 3d due to the chips superior processing power. (Quadrant 2700ish)
[LG Optimus 3D] HDD_x8:
Just grab the game from the usual Market, instead of the Tegra thing, to be on the safe side.
[LG Optimus 3D] zedklind:
If i recall correctly, the tegra zone is just a showcase of the games that show off better gpus like the tegra. once you click download in the tegra zone app it takes you right to the market where anyone can get the same download without tegra zone. The tegra zone is just a way to get news and organized game info.

I don't know how many here use podcast app that download mp3 files such as google listen, but for me this has recently been very slow unless using wifi. No mater wich app, kernel, modem, rom... I can only get 10kB/s. I'm not over the 5 gig limit either and everything else is plenty fast as it should be.

It appears that tmo is slowing all mp3 files down except the amazon mp3 app. Has anyone else been having issues with this?

I've found one other thread on the tmo forums about the issue.

Sprint is garbage around these parts and they have traffic shaping as well - all carriers do. 4G a horrible experience because of the constant disconnects/loss of signal.
[Vibrant General] SeanFloyd:
Can't comment on the 4g sentiment but her 3g on Sprint seems at least twice as fast as T-Mobile's 3g. I am living in the Phoenix area so there should be ample coverage.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
You're kidding right? You must be in an area with a ton of T-Mobile customers because the last time I was out there Sprint 3G was complete garbage and I was getting 2-5Mbps easy with T-Mobile's 3G. Not to mention, Sprint's data card was switching back between 1X and EV-DO on Sprint and downloading any type of file at 27KB/sec. It was really pathetic and still is. There are rampant complaints about Sprint 3G in Phoenix right on this forum.. look in the Evo section.
[Vibrant General] j2eubank:
This is definitely real. Just google it, people are complaining lots of places. It's odd because I can download other audio formats of the exact same file (or any other type of file I've tried) at normal speed. Speedtest confirms a solid 5.5mbps connection. I hit tmo up on twitter about it but haven't heard a response. Haven't tried calling them but others confirm they have.

I not sure it's illegal as of now. They control their networks until some form of net neutrality is passed.
[Vibrant General] williamspalex:
yea ive noticed the same thing
[Vibrant General] remarquian:
I've noticed the same thing, google listen downloads over 3g are slow, wifi fast. When listening to shows on rapid transit, invariably the TCP connection will either break or I will hit the 'end' in the middle of the down load, and I'm left with like half a friggin download to listen to.

Slowing it down is easy to do. There are traffic shapers, the most popular ones are Sandvine and the Cisco Service Control Engine, that can pick out traffic and traffic signatures and rate limit them in hardware.

The legality is questionable if they don't disclose what they are doing up front.

I've been meaning to setup a vpn with home and the phone to avoid this slow down, but haven't found the time.
[Vibrant General] kidlui:
I actually spoke to a tmobile rep about this cuz I had experienced this problem for about a month. they went through the usual steps..... Turn off phone, take out sim card and battery, and ofcourse clear my browsers cache, that was a load of crap. Anyways the rep told me that I had an outdated sim card in my phone, I got a new one and still my downloads of twit podcasts and other MP3 files are slow as hell.
[Vibrant General] digitalsmoke:
Same issue with a Nexus S. Called tmobile, claimed they have never heard of the problem, but their engineers will look at it when they get a chance since it is a low priority issue. So lame. However, not everyone is having this problem, it almost seems to be affecting people in certain area's I for one am in Orlando.

It's not a problem, you've just wasted your time by calling in.. it's intentional to manage network traffic. Even Slacker streams are shaped.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Sprint has a bigger network 3G network than T-Mobile - Voice too. T-Mobile depends on Roaming for voice, and they aren't building out their data network - just upgrading them to HSPA+ (Software upgrade, not hard or expensive).

Traveling around with an AT&T or Sprint phone is a different experience than T-Mobile. Driving to Houston, my Vibrant was drops signal (Voice and Data) between major cities like nothing.

That never happened when I had an AT&T phone. I could basically be on 3G the whole way there... My phone would never become useless while traveling.

With T-Mobile if you travel to some cities you also run the risk of having nothing but GPRS for voice and no decent data connection. The risk of that with the larger carriers is much less. T-Mobile is decent in bigger cities, but outside of them (I'm talking, drive 3-5 miles out of some of them) they are terrible.

They're cheap because the service is cheap, compared to other carriers. AT&T and Verizon get by with charging more because their networks are huge by comparison, and while AT&T has had issues they have been consistently building their network out and adding capacity. T-Mobile and Sprint haven't (not that they need to, they aren't that large). AT&T just put up a new tower here, for example, so they're the only carrier around here with 3G/HSPA coverage.

T-Mobile gets voice coverage due to roaming contracts. Verizon and Sprint get little to no coverage here...

EDIT: GSM 3G is faster than CDMA 3G. There's really no argument about that. Of course, if T-Mobile doesn't have great towers/service where you live that can flip. But Coverage and Reliability > Speed, and that's why T-Mobile is still the smallest carrier despite having the best prices/plans. Their 3G network is too small, and unreliable especially if you travel and/or live outside of major cities.
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
Horrible since with that excuse they cap everything,while still selling in BIG LETTERS The FASTEST 4G NETWORK.
[Vibrant General] eltormo:
Verizon has better cover than both from what i read.

But here in Puerto Rico T-mobile is good,and i have data pretty much any were i go,they are cheap because they are the smaller guys not the big ones,and have a much better customer service than AT&T which ranked last.

Some of the best phone plans here were made by a company call Movi Star,before Movi start everything cell phone related here in Puerto Rico was ultra expensive.

In fact by the late 90's here you were charge by the minutes,in plans of 400 minutes and so and they counted both ways in or out,text ultra expensive as well,like .30 cents a text or more.

Movi Star actually came with the first all call receive free plan,and it was a hit,they also boosted the first pre-pay phones with unlimited receive calls free as long as you had balance to make calls as well.

Not only that they also came with the first plan here in Puerto Rico,that included both calls incoming and outgoing unlimited for a fixed price,in that time it was $99 dollars i remember it,it was like 1998 i think.

By that time the PRTC,Cellular One were the tops dogs here,and a 1000 minute plan on any of the 2 could cost you almost what Movi Star charged,but you only have 1000 minutes that counted both ways,with Movi Star it was unlimited.

Now that company is call Open Mobile and they sell just pre-pay phones,they are not as attractive to customers because they don't have a huge selection of phones,and they sell the phone to you without financial,unlike T-mobile and AT&T which sell you the phone cheap or free to tie you in the contract.

In fact they have the cheapest plan of any company here in Puerto Rico and have good signal to,they charge you $55 for unlimited calls, unlimited data,unlimited text.unlimited US long distance calls,Unlimited roaming in US,and even 411 (information to ask for numbers) Unlimited.

All that for $55 dollars,the only down side is that they don't use sim cards,and that only some Sprint phones are compatible out side the ones they sell you,and android phones like the hero are expensive like $300.

So you see usually the best plans comes from the smaller guys,because when they are big like AT&T they charge people what ever they want,is the number 1 reason why AT&T and T-mobile merge should not be allowed,because once T-mobile is in and the rest of the contracts are up,the abuse will begin,and believe me they will rise they price once your contract is done.

T-mobile service is not cheap because is bad,is cheap because T-mobile is not as big as AT&T and Verizon so to bring customers in they have to offer better prices,just because AT&T over charge for their services doesn't mean that what T-mobile is doing most be because their signal is bad.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
There is no such thing as GSM 3G.

Native voice coverage for T-Mobile is larger than it is for Sprint. That all boils down to how many towers they have as they share the same frequency. T-Mobile has 49,000 and Sprint has somewhere in the 36,000 range. Sprint WIDELY depends on roaming as they have an agreement with Verizon to roam in most places where there is no Sprint signal. Going outside of MY city Sprint is nonexistant, relies on a roaming partner for 1X coverage and T-Mobile has EDGE coverage for nearly all of the interstates. Just clarifing why Sprint is garbage. Sprint has 48 million subs because they bought an iDEN network that put them ahead of T-Mobile, not because they have Verizon levels of network coverage. THEY DON'T.
