I just ran it as a live USB install. It runs really quick, once you are on the desktop.
Touchscreen doesnt work, havent tried anything else. But its based on Ubuntu 8.04. So, pof is the man to talk to. His guide for drivers and tools should work fine.
I will try some more later...

I am not sure... but I never made the WiFi work in my shift (Ubuntu / gOS)...
Can anyone help?!?!?!

Maybe it's an idea to port linux to the trinity, i searched google and find out it has be done with other HTC devices
There is already some ongoing research:

Flash back to stock using linux

Ok. so for a vast majority of my time, I use either Ubuntu or Debian linux. Mostly because I want to learn how to use the more advanced features, but that's beside the point.
How can I flash my captivate back to stock from within linux, seeing as Odin clearly cannot run.

Smith
Try this, I am not a linux user but I think this is what you need

That should do the trick.
I was wondering if there is any other solution?? Just out of curiosity, I can't find one. Also, that app appears to be for x64 architecture only, I'm running a x32 bit machine.

[Q] Linux root tool

Hi. So far all the root tools are for windows OS. I am using a linux distro and would like to avoid using Windows. Anyone know of a linux root tool that works?

Have you tried it?
The other way round works, I have Linux on a VM on my works laptop and everything works exactly the same as on my own dual boot Linux/windows laptop...
So maybe wine will work for you...try it

As expected it didn't work. Wine can't even open a program like vroot after install.

Yes i know that, that is why i asked if there was a linux tool. But a windows install would be a waste of time for me right now

You could have installed one, rooted your phone and reinstalled Linux in far less time than this thread has been going...

but more productive time..
I understand your situation, but I am sure you can see a friend with a windows install and root your phone on it, its a 10 second job and only a few scripts to download..

Avoiding Windows at all costs is a noble cause, I understand if the man is looking for a Linux tool!

I understand, I am no windows fan, its just what I grew up with and I am turning to Linux more and more each day...but unfortunately windows have the monopoly on some people, so keeping a windows OS is still sensible to me

Sure thing. I can't say whether the XP drivers are included as I have never run XP on my Shift.

Flanimal send me the same link last year. The drivers are great for vista and 7.
Thanks again Flanimal!
I have not yet been able to find the windows XP drivers....
What i have read. If you want speed install the Windows 8.1 Embedded edition. I did not try this myself yet.
It is supposed to be windows 10 but really stripped down. Also known as "Windows 9"
I'm currently running Vista and just got the Windows mobile side Liberated. yaay
Now i can get back to windows 7 an linux

Try to uninstall drivers through device manager, and then reinstall them manually... If you haven't already...
Suggesting someone to switch whole operating system just to connect phone to a PC is pretty dumb in my opinion... And to Linux non the less... You'd be better off switching to Mac OS... Tbh...

I don't know what caused the problem first place. It worked, and I rooted and had a lot of fun last summer.
Noticed it couple of months ago when I were bored and should root my H9436 again for fun.
Error code 43
Now my device won't charge at all.
Solution : my device is broken. ?
