Am I the only one having issues with adb?
I managed to get it working once yesterday night. adb logcat output was very helpful to fix the FC 'parameters' issue with libcamera under Eclair but I couldn't get it working after that. Also, when it did work, I couldn't get /system to remount rw.
I had to manually start adbd on the vogue but after I rebooted to test the new libcamera libs, I couldn't get it to work anymore, even after restarting adbd. I can see a HTC Android device in /proc/bus/usb/devices on my linux dev computer but 'adb devices' doesn't show any devices.
This was under VaniljEclair RLS6.
I did a quick search in 'Touch CDMA Android Dev' and 'Tilt Android Dev' forums, also search in google but couldn't find any quick answer.
I don't have much time (as everybody I guess) to mess with Android Dev so I would much rather spend the little time I have on something productive instead of searching for answers that somebody else might already have.
I don't mind switching to another Eclair ROM/build if I have to but I would appreciate if anybody could give me a few pointers to get adb working under eclair.
Thanks.

Are you using the Latest Kernel? Adb is supposed to be fixed with eclair a kernel or 2 ago. If so, Im no sure what the probem is.
Are you running windows, ubuntu ect...?
The adb problem is in the build itelf. As soon as I installed my adb quit working I went back to incubus build but it just gets really quirky after a while. I use Vanilj eclair for speed but really miss adb. And yes I am using the latest kernel I also tried troubleshooting by flashing other nbh files to no avail

Eum, I'll have to check for the kernel version. It is the one included with KK VaniljEclair RLS6. The date of zImage is 24/06/2010. What was the issue again, /dev major/minor conflict between adb and 3d hardware? Is there a way to check if this is the issue from within my phone (with terminal)?
I am running Fedora Core 13 as a VirtualBox guest hosted on Windows 7 x64. As I can see a HTC Android device in /proc/bus/usb/devices in linux, I would say that VirtualBox usb passthru is not the issue but then again, I could be wrong.
Before I setup VirtualBox usb passthru, I was also having issues under Windows: it installed a few drivers but I still couldn't see the phone as Mass Storage under Windows. Is there a way to install Android Windows driver without installing the Android SDK under Windows? Since Windows is not supported for AOSP dev, I'd prefer to keep my Windows 'Android free' as far as SDK,tools, etc goes except for 'Mass Storage' access.
Hope I am making sense... As I said, all this Android business is new to me, I am probably forgetting something trivial in my setup.
Yes it is a issue in /dev with 3d hardware. You can flash latest nbh without reinstalling all system so i think that you go faster in this way.

There is a makedev script in the initrd.gz that differs between the initrd.gz originally included with the haretinstall.zip and the one I use. I use the initrd.gz that dzo shared here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
But first try the latest zImage from that site. If it still fails, try using the initrd.gz from this zip-file: http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/2010-02-20/haretinstall.zip/download

Did some more test.
adbd is not running under Android (VaniljEclair RLS6). Using Terminal emulator, I manually start adbd on the phone. Then, I connect the USB cable. From this point adb works from linux. Is it normal that adbd is not running after a fresh boot of the phone?
This is using the zImage and initrd from your androidinstall.tar, as far as I can see by the dates and files size. I am running from the sdcard, in case it matters.
No sweat though, I now have a work around so it is no big deal.

Strange, this should be controlled by this in sysinit.rc:
Code:
# adbd is controlled by the persist.service.adb.enable system property
service adbd /sbin/adbd
disabled
# adbd on at boot in emulator
on property:ro.kernel.qemu=1
start adbd
on property:persist.service.adb.enable=1
start adbd
on property:persist.service.adb.enable=0
stop adbd
And the persist.service.adb.enable property should be enabled by default.
Since we got a x86 cpu i want to use ubuntu on it, as im from germany i still dont have my I but has anybody tried linux on android?
Adam Outler mentioned something that this would not work...
Btw can somebody tell me what the kernel version is..?

Kernel version is 3.0.8.
If you can install linux distros on the backend of rooted ARM devices it should make sense we could do the same....maybe
Ubuntu on a RAZR I ? Linux x86 apps + windows apps with wine without even recompile? I think this devece needs some love. It can be the next HTC HD2 for shure.
I dont understand the htc comparison
But i have your ideas about no need to recompile and wine in mind too...
But i understand adam because linux for android is compiled for arm achitecture so a usual desktop image would make more sense...
Why is the kernel version so low?!

What we need to do
I have a friend with this device, after rooting he reports there is no chroot command from terminal. If so we must:
Compile busybox (with more extensions) for x86 and install it alongside root (or after root)
Make a mountable image from an ubuntu clean install and mount it (probably also needs busybox)
chroot into this mounted image
run a vnc X server on a framebuffer
vnc from android
This is how it is done on other android devices, will attempt to compile and try these instructions out this weekend when I meet him but booting native ubuntu is a much better idea (even better if we can make it receive calls ).
And for what Windows on 4,3 inches display? It dont have hdmi.

Go look up the HTC HD2. It can run Windows Phone 7 and Android dual-booted (with Linux from SDCard), and was originally the last, albeit most powerful, Windows Mobile 6 phone ever made.
Even though it is four years old, there is a massive and vibrant dev community behind it, making it reach the front page of XDA forums.
However, even the venerable HD2 is getting old, with 1GHz processor and half a gig of RAM that was top-of-the-line years ago, and people have looked in vain for some kind of successor. Hopefully, the Razr I, with an unlockable bootloader and Intel processor, will be the one. But that remains for us to do.

So I tried this out and there is a chroot-compatible busybox after rooting ("busybox chroot" needs to be called as opposed to "chroot" as there is no properly made link), so anyone with this phone can try (using a PC) install Ubuntu without the grub bootloader using manual partitioning on a single ext3 (I am not sure if ICS supports ext4) partition on a microsd, put into your phone, use a root terminal, mount it, mount the adequate dev, dev/pts, proc and sys partitions and chroot right in. You then might want to install a VNC server in Ubuntu to be able to create a VNC X session in a framebuffer and a VNC client on the android side to VNC into localhost (127.0.0.1), but that should work, I didn't have time to try it this weekend If someone gets stuck post and let us see what happens I cannot wait to see if wine can run desktop Spotify with sound, excited a little hehe.
EDIT: So to make this more understandable you must:
Install Ubuntu (using your computer) to a MicroSD, specifying partitions manually and choosing only a single ext3. Right before clicking install there is a button with something along the lines of "Advanced options", disable the install the bootloader (grub) option.
Insert the MicroSD into the phone and open a root terminal
I don't use Android, maybe it automounts in /media/sdcard or /sdcard, if not you will have to find the device and partition name (probably /dev/mmcblk0p1 or /dev/sdb1) and issue "mount /dev/DEVICEPARTITION /media/sdcard"
mount -t proc proc /media/sdcard/proc
mount -o bind /dev/ /media/sdcard/dev/
mount -t devpts devpts /media/sdcard/dev/pts
busybox chroot /media/sdcard /bin/bash
Now a shell from Ubuntu should open. apt-get update && apt-get install vncserver (maybe the DNS settings must be set in /etc/resolv.conf, not yet sure)
vncserver (or start vncserver, something along those lines)
Now from Android install a VNC viewer and vnc into 127.0.0.1 (or localhost)
That should do it, again if you get stuck post here
i had htc hd2, the most amazing phone in the world. I wanna buy the rarz i for the x86 processor in it. But cpu power without community and developers is nothing :|
Sorry for my bad english.
Yesterday we tried something:
We used dd to put an arch linux image on a micro sd card...
Though my laptop wasnt even able to boot from any sd card, this should work on our phone...
but how to make it boot from the sd card? xD
btw you might have noticed, this will make only linux boot, not android, we dont chroot, may somebody build a simple ubuntu img for complete linux installer?
//Robert
so right now i am trying to chroot into an img file, mounting it and then chrooting it but all i get is:
chroot: can't execute '/system/bin/sh': No such file or directory
whats wrong?

Razr i MHL capable???
as far as i know, sadly not no
Ok so finally I got Ubuntu Quetzal running with chroot, still some problems (missing randr extension in vnc) but ill get over this
Hey,
great work. :good:
Good to see there are people with the same ideas. I´ve searched a lot for this thread.
I will also try to get this device for the same reasons when it´s cheaper. Has anybody tried to get Plasma Active or Tizen to run?
I think Active should now be possible through kubuntu Active?
Cheers!
Hi all
At first you can try a application from play store called Linux installer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid
Otherwise you can wait some weeks for an nexus 7 Ubuntu port witch looks really interesting.

thanks for your post on preparing an arch image (I don't have permision to post in devel forum, maybe because I'm a newbie ), It worked well for me although I had to adjust some things such as path and pts mount
I now have a gcc toolchain and a latex distrib on my phone I had never used arch, found it very good
I've also tried some window managers ... the one I find best for the moment is enlightenment in the touchscreen mode, awesome works great as well.
I would also suggest to use Hacker's keyboard instead of stock android, it is a complete keyboard, very usefull when dealing with terminals ... as for VNC viewer, one should recompile android-vnc-viewer with the patches given in Issues 238 and 239 (can't post links either), it's a lot better
I've had a lot of fun, thanks
First, Complete Linux Installer doesnt work because its images are compiled for arm not x86 (i tried )
Secondly, I did a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966984
the nexus 7 stuff is interesting and we consider making flashable fastboot for the razr i since we dont have cwm or such you know
i am talking to jordan keyes who recently owned a nexus 7 who probably will try out the ubu stuff and i might get some system info
but i would really prefer a dual boot, capable of booting from sd...
I came across this site today:
http://www.pvsm.ru/wine/10369
translated here
I don't know if this could possibly help you any further but I thought that I might as well post it.
I was wondering if it's possible to run a Windows OS natively on the RAZR i because it has an x86 processor.
It's possible, I think, but drivers might be a problem. Windows has a lot of drivers built in, but I doubt it has the proper drivers for a phone. After all, it was never designed to run on something like this.

I am by no means an expert in this field but wouldn't it be easier to try and get something like Ubuntu running on it and then you could at least run windows applications through wine. If this goes well we could look into putting windows (either 7 or 8) onto the phone.

If you can make the boot loader to read GRUB or MBR partition tables than the phone will load a Win XP/Vista/7/8 because of the native x86 instructions in the processor. Trying to find matching drivers then is the next step.

I've noticed that I can't use ADB while in recovery mode on windows yet it works fine on linux. I'm assuming it's a driver issue being that with windows you have to install motorola's driver and on linux, like with everything, it just kinda works. My question is is there a way to get ADB within recovery working on windows. It would be helpful to not be limited to only being able to use it and mount as a storage device while inside userland. I do have a linux machine but whenever I'm on my gaming rig it would be nice to be able to use ADB and USB storage in recovery. Thanks!
I'm currently running Windows 7 SP1, Android 4.4.4 Kitkat, Linux Mint 17, and TWRP 2.8.0.1(I just noticed there was a 2.8.1.0 update although I doubt any difference will be made)
Have you updated the Android SDK?
Linux for Asus tf701t
DISCLAIMER:
You can brick your device. Be careful
Github repo
There are three available versions of Linux distros for this tablet:
1) Xubuntu 14.04 by Geometry
2) Arch Linux
3) Debian Wheezy
Kernel for Arch and Xubuntu by Geometry
The recommend distro is Xubuntu. It is the most stable, has the best hardware support (Bluetooth and Wifi works properly) and user-friendly. Now touchscreen not supported. Hardware accelerated video works via console nvgstplayer. Look here for further information.
_________________________________________
Arch Linux is pretty good, too. It has the best touch support, UI is xfce4 with touchscreen patches. Bluetooth not works, wifi is a little buggy. Hardware accelerated video do not works. Included Chromium with touch support.
root password: 1234qwerty
user : test, password: changeme
Rootfs:
https://mega.co.nz/#!b8w3VJaJ!SpD1GTIkNiiAmYiCUxmhOYjX6NYN8IeFPhiY6N9Xtkc
Installation:
Download rootfs archive, copy it to your tablet. You can previously extract tar from bz2 by command (if you're using Linux)
Code:
bzip2 -d ./arch.tar.bz2
That is not obligatory, but faster than unpacking on tablet.
Then, open terminal emulator and type
Code:
su
cd /data/media
tar -xf {path to your rootfs archive}
You should see archlinux directory in /data/media
To try Linux (without any changing in Android):
Download attached file arch_bind.img, and boot it via fastboot by command:
Code:
sudo fastboot boot {path to arch_bind.img}
If you're using Windows have a look here
If you like it, you can flash linux kernel instead of recovery:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash recovery {path to arch_bind.img}
You'll not be able to go into recovery, but instead get a complete another OS
You can get your recovery back just by re-flashing it.
____
Alternatively you can install rootfs on external memory, such as MicroSD or usb stick (usb and dock SD is not very good idea because data corrupting is possible due to bad connection between dock and tablet).
Just unpack archive to your SD (I'm afraid it won't works under Windows, but I'm not sure). Be careful, you should get a rootfs on SD, not the dir archlinux.
After that, boot or flash in same way as mentioned above, but use arch_ext.img.
_________________________________________
Debian Wheezy - the first, legacy distro. Is not very stable, but has some interesting features. Description below:
What is works:
GUI works, MATE and XFCE enviroment. (mate was removed because it needs too much memory, if you want, just apt-get install mate)
USB devices (e.g. I use tablet to programming and flashing Arduino)
Dock keyboard and touchpad
GPIO keys (partially)
CPU scaling
Brightness control
Video via nvgstplayer or graphical Totem, up to 4K
Hardware acceleration (OpenGL ES, to see demo try glmark2-es2)
Chromium with hardware acceleration
Some games, like DOOM (prboom), eduke32, etc. Games in directory /usr/games/
Glshim (wrapper between GL and GL ES, it help to run some OpenGL games, for example bzflag )
Sound works due to PulseAudio, switching between speaker and headphones also works.
Touchscreen (thanks to Bogdacutu http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4937137) + some GUI improvements for touchscreen and touch version of Chromium
Don't works:
Strange things with sound (don't work mixer, but one stream works correctly)
FIXED
Strange things with suspend. X server works only with software acceleration.
How to install:
If you want install linux permanently you can flash linux.img instead of recovery by command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery linux.img
Scripts in initrd looking for file debian-root in /data/media/ (directory in android), so you should create this file by command (in linux PC)
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./debian-root bs=1M count=4096
mkfs.ext4 ./debian-root/CODE]
It will create file debian-root in home directory. The you should mount it and unpack archive by GUI or by command line
[CODE]sudo mount ./debian-root /mnt
cd /mnt
tar -xf <path to debian.tar.bz2>
cd 4856f746-b62a-494c-a0da-ffdcab915ef2
mv ./* ../
Also you can install rootfs to sdcard or usb stick. Just format it to ext4 or 3 and unpack archive to it. Then you should boot linux_ext.img by command
Code:
sudo fastboot boot linux_ext.img
Also you can flash this img insteas of recovery by same way.
One more way is install rootfs in directory. Follow instructions from member Geometry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4937137
After booting just login by name root and password 1234qwerty, then type startx to load GUI.

Awesome. Yes I looked at that directory and in android I see fb1 its bits per pixel and is set to 32. Might be something else. Good Job.
That is the rootfs packed by squashfs. Just unpuck it to sdcard, insert card and boot my kernel (n first post). Wait a minute and log in by name and password ubuntu. Then go to root mode (sudo su) and type
Code:
X vt1 & sleep 5; brite; DISPLAY=:0 xfce4-session
You'll get a simple xfce desktop preview. Now I am testing Unity but it pretty buggy. You can install ubuntu-desktop by chroot from android and try it.
I am afraid I can't enough time, so to finish this project I really need a help.

I would really like to help as I just purchased a tf701t myself and want linux on it but I'm afraid I don't know nearly enough about android devices to help much
I'm gonna do alot of research to learn how it all works ...I might be able to help you then
I have one question: Could it be possible to (if knowledgeable) to configure Linux Mint 17 64-bit on the tf701t with enough know-how?
This project has alot of potential my friend so don't quit now

No no. Unless you know something I dont Linux mint is for x86 32bit architectures. As well as the x86 64 bit architectures. The tf701 is an arm 32 bit architecture. Theres likely no way you could put a x86 64bit compiled os on a 32 bit embedded arm device.

ok I guess I'm going about this the wrong way
I did some research into Arch Linux ARM distro and it's looking promising... Can Arch Linux ARM work with the tf701t? If so, can you provide any info on how to install Arch Linux on the device?
I'm a complete noob when it comes to tablets haha
Edit: I realised I might be highjacking this thread, so I apologise for that and I'll stop asking questions here. Anway I'm excited for any future updates on linux on these devices topics.
Yes ArchLinux arm, Gentoo, Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, Ubuntu touch and others supporting arm but besides this theres no proper solution to get it on this tablet yet afaik.
I am going to share kubuntu 14.04 soon, but I am not like it. Now I am working on Debian.

I'm not a fan of ubuntu or any subsidiary flavours such as kubuntu I'm afraid. But I am curious to see what your Debian will be like
Point Linux distro (debian) is the most stable distro of any linux distro and somewhat similar to 10.10 ubuntu (maverick) before canonical turned ubuntu sour. Unfortunately it looks like its only 86x 64bit
I'll try making an arch linux ARM for tf1071t. But some guides or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Debian tworks well. Much better then *buntu. I removed ubuntu, and I going to release Debian 0.1 rotfs.
Summary:
Wifi - works
Screen - works
Input - dock and usb mouse works, touchscreen and touchpad - bot
Sound - strange, woks in browser, but not player.

Fantastic You're a legend! I was wondering if I can get a copy of the debian to install on my tf701t for testing purposes?
I can try get the player working....
That is rootfs https://mega.co.nz/#!7oAiRSLB!57byiZho_oXXzUiWlAaHbeUF7Ykm3NOrUz3oGaEWD08
It contains simple debian. You should remove /etc/init/tf701.conf becouse it crash booting. When system boot you can log in by user root and password 1234qwerty (sudo not installed), then echo 16 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel and then type myx. That is simple script which will boot graphical enviroment.
