Hi all,
I popped back after some time away to find that you'd now been working on linux for the BA.
Course, eager as ever I dived in and tried to understand what I thought said instructions.
So I downloaded all the required files, and placed them into the folders specified, ran Heret.exe and I get our iccle penguine with a thermometer rising but when it reaches the top thats all it does?
Am I missing something ere?
Gav
I've got it to get to the Portmap, but i'm unable to login via USB.
Has ANYONE managed to deal with this yet?
Gav
it works exactly as advertised on WIKI.
after temp. goes thru the roof and penguin eyes crack, you should see kernel messages scrolling by.
since u don't see that, i'm guessing the kernel cannot be found because u didn't set up the SD card correctly.
post ur SD card partitions (fdisk -l) and also output of ls -lR
before u can login remotely, usb net modules must be loaded (see wiki)
I had realised I had downloaded the initrd-3.6.12-hh2.gz and mapped the startup.txt to that file,
so I downloaded the 2.6 version and changed the startup and I got the kernal message.
It goes through the kernel and I get a usb disconnection notification on xp and activesync disconnects.
As for partitions, how the f**k do I do this, because theres nothing in wm2003se that allows you to partition sd cards, and I don't get any command prompt on the linux kernel.
Also I do get an error that etc/modules directory could not be found but the kernal continues to load.
Regards

I'm just waiting till their is a complete Linux ROM with a portalable WINE port built in so you can run TomTom. Then I'll be happy. :wink:
man, you need to follow the wiki EXACTLY. u will not get anywhere by skipping steps.
windoze cannot create required fat and ext3 partitions. the fastest way 2 do this is download a linux live cd
judging by ur level of experience, i say leave this alone, until linux for blueangel matures enough for foolproof installation.
and how do I mount this ext3 partition?
(I can only connect to the initrd-filesystem with ssh)
I switched over exclusively to linux recently (Xubuntu 9.10 Karmic for those curious), and the only problem I've been having is a way to sync up my Tilt to my laptop which is running said linux. I don't particularly care for calendar/contact sync, just enough to access the flash programs here will be good enough. Any thoughts?
For a second I thought you had Ubuntu installed on your Tilt and got all excited.
There are two options I know of:
Use Pof's HTCFlasher, an open source linux RUU tool. It is supposedly compatible with all Kaiser bootloader versions.
Rename the ROM or radio you want to flash from RUU_Signed.nbh to KAISIMG.nbh. Place this on the root of your MicroSD card with a card reader, put the MicroSD back in the Kaiser, manually enter bootloader (hold camera and power buttons), and follow the instructions it presents you with.
Looking for some assistance getting the NDK working properly on Windows 7 (64).
I followed all of the instructions to set up the NDK in windows but am running into an issue.
Per the instructions you need to install CYGWIN which i did and then go to the root NDK folder and run build/host-setup.sh.
Once I run this i get the following error;
ERROR: Could not find a valid GNU make executable.
Please ensure GNU Make 3.81 or later is installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do have GNU make 3.81 installed for windows.
If i try to use cygwin to run a make APP=hello-jni as a test as it states i get the error;
bash: make: command not found
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
if i use windows command prompt i can run the make.exe fine.
I'm thinking the issue is because its trying to use a Linux based make since i would assume Cygwin cannot rune EXE files.
Could anyone assist me with this that has it set up and working properly in windows?
Any takers please?
Check 'Make' package in Cygwin setup.
Do yourself a favor and use a real operating system. Ditch that MSJUNK.
On top of that, I *strongly* suggest that NOBODY EVER use windoze for compiling ANYTHING. When you are building software for other people to use, you most *definitely* do NOT want to build software that has been compromised. Windoze is the world's number ONE compromised platform. It about as save as having your way with a 50 year old street corner hooker without protection.
Is there a better tutorial for making a gold card, I have read it over a dozen times and i still don't get it, I don't know what to do with the command prompt, so I am stuck at that and I want to know it all for sure before I go and brick my phone?
Does anyone know how to do this, or explain it clearer than the original tutorial?
Sure. use this tool and you can't really go wrong:
[PC Application] GoldCardTool, Windows Tool for helping make GoldCards @ MoDaCo
And I don't understand the whole command line part
Unzip the file you downloaded to a directory, then open a command prompt / terminal window at that directory.
Turn off your HTC Legend, then turn it back on with the 'back' button held down. You'll see 'FASTBOOT' written on the screen in a red box. Connect the phone to the computer.
In the terminal window, enter either 'step1-windows.bat', './step1-mac.sh' or './step1-linux.sh' as appropriate.
When this step has completed, REMOVE THE GOLDCARD and either format it and replace, or replace with a different (non goldcard) microSD.
Navigate to the 'BOOTLOADER' and then 'RECOVERY' option on the menu, using the volume buttons to move and the power button to select.
In the terminal window, enter either 'step2-windows.bat', './step2-mac.sh' or './step2-linux.sh' as appropriate.
Help?
If you don't know what that means, maybe you shouldn't be doing it?
Reluctantly this is what it means in terms of the commands on your PC.
So unzip to your Desktop and call the folder Goldcard, open it and make sure the files are located directly in that folder and not another subfolder above that.
Open command line / Terminal and type this...
on a Windows machine:
cd %userprofile%\Desktop\Goldcard
on a Linux machine it's:
cd ~/Desktop/Goldcard
That gets you into the unzipped folder it talks about, where you enter step1-windows.bat and step2-windows.bat or the Linux version of the commands when required.
If you muck it up, you knew the risks when taking this on
Maybe this is a stupid question, but: how do we REMOVE THE GOLDCARD
It isn't mentionned anywhere tu turn off the device, and removing a micro sd involves to turn it off since it removes the battery too
I never did remove it personally.
Is it possible to use the goldcard in more than one phone?? so i created it with my legend, can I use it to update a legend of someone else??
Thanx in advance!!

I found the reason why I think on this forum,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=753374
There are two kinds of CID. There is the CID on your phone, which determines which brand of phone you have - this is irrelevant here. Then there is the CID on your sdcard, this is the card's serial number, and this is what you use to create a goldcard.
So therefor you can use your goldcard with an other telephone, but you can not copy the image of your goldcard to an other sd card.
Right before the Introduction, I am not responsible for anything you do to you Phone, you are free to do or not to do what I am explaining to you so its on your own risk...
Introduction:
Ok guys so here we are, trying to install a Linux Distro on our awesome x86 Phone...
Damn this doesnt work because our Android is compiled in a different way than ARM Android so we have to wait for better Docs or someone who can get the bootloader to laod a different OS...
But you dont want to wait right?
So here we go, the only alternative:
Chroot into Linux
Description:
Chrooting lets you run annother Linux on top of the currently running Linux (what Android actually is...more or less).
So you mount an existing Linux and simply run it.
What I want to do:
I want to guide you through chrooting and setting up an Arch Linux on your RAZR i.
Requirements:
You need:
A micro SD card (I used a 8GB sized one but 4GB/more than 8 should also work, you just have to adjust some Steps)
An Arch Linux Image (I will give you a link)
(Not required but I will focus on this Platform because I use it myself and it works best, I guess)
A Linux PC running Virtual Box
Tutorial:
First you need an Arch Linux Image. Any other Linux Distro should work fine, but others also take up a lot more Space and Ubuntu for Example has many Problems running in Chroot (because Canonical did some S***).
I used this one:
Arch Linux 2012.10.06
Again, any Version should work fine, just took the latest one
So lets set up our System...
Start Virtual Box and create a new System.
Create a new Hard Drive and size it so it fits onto your micro SD.
I used 5 GB-7.5GB on a 8GB micro SD.
Insert the downloaded ISO FIle into the Virtual Box CD Drive and start your Virtual Machine.
Select the i686 mode (because or CPU is 32bit not 64bit)
If you have the wrong Keyboard Layout Follow this Keyboard Setup Keyboard Config
Next you need to partition the HDD: Partitioning the HDD
Now Install the Base System: Install the Base System
After this follow the next Steps on the Arch WIki (Generate an fstab, Chroot and configure the base system, Set the root password and add a regular user)
DO not reboot because you didnt create a Bootloader (not required for chrooting), instead go to the "Extra" Section and follow all Steps till troubleshooting (DO NOT REBOOT AND DO NOT STARTX this didnt work for, might for you, might not and then you have to cold reboot the VM)
Now you can reboot Again enter the Live System, load your keymap and chroot into the system
You might already install some Packages like a VNC server (pacman -S tightvnc) which will be required for a Graphical User Interface later...
To create the Image you need later, the easiest way for me to pull the Image out of the VM (which has no space for this Image) because the Virtual Box Plugin didnt work for me is sshfs.
I highly recommend to install an ssh server ond the sshfs system into you arch.
If you have done so, mount your PC from inside the VM so you can put the Image on your PC's HDD.
now to create an Image of your Arch theres one command and two ways:
You create an Image of the whole HDD (what I did)
You create an Image of the one Partition
I chose the first because i didnt want to put anything else on my micro SD, I cant confirm that the second way works but it is suppoes to so lets create the Image:
We make use of the Linux command dd, really, REALLY mke sure that you are executing from inside the VM since you can harm your HDD and dont forget the file extension....
First method:
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/location/to/your/PC/HDD/imagefilename.img
The Second method (not confirmed):
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/location/to/your/PC/HDD/imagefilename.img
where sda1 should be the partition you want to image...
This might take a loooooooong time
Now you have this Image, put your micro SD into an Adapter and put it into your PC.
Now find out the name of the SD, I used gparted and I found out that the name is sdc (could be sd + letter of alphabet)
Here the Ways split again:
The first Method completly overwrites anything that is on your microSD so make a backup, the second Way is just putting the created .img file onto the micro SD:
Method One:
Code:
dd if=/path/of/the/img/file of=/dev/sdc
Replace sdc with your micro SD letter, if you put in a wrong letter, you might overwrite your HDD so be careful, I am not responsible for what you do...
For me my Phone said, the micro SD is empty or has a wrong FIlesystem (its ext4) but you shouldnt care, we can mount it anyway...
Now copy the FIle mountscript.sh to the internal SD (the FIle is in this Posts Attachements)
Next open up a Terminal and type in:
Code:
cat /proc/partitions
You should get a list of all your Partitions, if you followed my Way, the last one should be your micro SD (look at the size) and called like mmcblk1p1
If you followed the Second Way, you dont need this Step...
Now type in the Terminal:
Code:
busybox sh /mnt/sdcard/mountscript.sh
the busybox in the beginning seemed required for me because our busybox is kinda strange...
You will be guide through a little setup, I hope it is selfexplaining...
When the script ran through successfully your terminal should look like [[email protected] /]#
In the next Post I will guide you through the Setup of the VNC Server
Any questions or something doesnt work? Just tell me

You can start by grabbing yourself this App...
Guess I forgot something
Added the mountscript as Attachemenet
did anybody try?

Hai Robbilie, After install with Ubuntu PC & turn off pc & All seem ok & at phone till [[email protected] /]# & open installed VNCwith name DLKS & 192.168.0.9 & port 5900 but cant handshake & also try many similar VNC still the same. Unlike our PC where on>boot>desktop shown & can play ? Pls advice. Thks.
i advice tiger vnc, but the console tells you the vnc server started?
btw its only 5900 when its on display 0 when its on display 1 its 5901 and so on...
the used display is shown in the console...
are you running the vnc from root?
How to run vnc from root? i only start separately,pls advice.Thks
if you have a vnc server installed in the chroot environment you need to run
vncserver -geometry 888x540
this is just to fit the phones resolution
I'm following your instructions for this. They are well written but I can't figure out the part about ssh and sshfs. What do you do for that step?
Is there seriously not an easier way such as opening the vdi image with some program and copying and pasting the files to my Windows desktop and then using something like IMGBurn to create an iso file and then convert it to an img file?
Ubuntu ?
Hello
