I had many difficulties to install windows 7 to my shift, maybe because of my USB stick. And then every guide was a little bit complicated - too many instructions, too many steps, too easy to make a mistake and then go back to the beginning..
Didn't want to buy an external dvd-drive either..
Anyway, all this before I found this article.
Check this out
Installing Windows 7 without using a DVD or USB via direct method - No USB stick required. No USB drive required
In this method we install Windows 7 on a clean partition like the normal DVD boot method. Only change is we don’t use a DVD drive in this guide. Please follow the below instructions carefully and don’t skip any steps to make things quickly!
1. Download the Windows 7 ISO files from Microsoft. I hope you have already downloaded one.
2. Download and install Virtual Clone Drive from http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html
3. Firstly, go to the directory where you have saved Windows 7 ISO file. Right-click on the ISO file, select Open with and then select “Mount files with Virtual Clone Drive” to mount your ISO file.
4. Go back to My Computer (or Just Computer) and then double-click on the Virtual Clone Drive icon to start Windows 7 installation process.
Yes, you are installing Windows 7 without a DVD or USB drive!
5. Next, follow the normal Windows 7 installation procedure to finish the installation. Windows may restart during the install process. Worry not, everything will go fine.

There already are some from microsoft availabale via the link in the personalize menu. Have you already downloaded those ?
Unfortunately those are aero themes, I'd like some NON-aero, to fit with both resolutions.
ok, now the short way to make a bootable USB Disk to install Vista/7
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk $ [where $ is the number of the USB Disk listed in the list disk command]
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick label="InstallUSB"
assign
exit
exit
Copy the content of your Installation Disk on USB and boot from it, just simple as that
do this method install the new windwos over the existing windows, or on a new partition in HDD.
As far as I know, no version of windows allows installing of a new windows except from booting.

I just tried it out and it installs it over the existing running windows, doesn´t matter if it was downgraded to xp, or already upgraded to 7, it will install a new and fresh copy of Win 7 in your local drive, regardless of the existing vista recovery partion, which can be used in any time... (I hope to get ride of it once Win 7 final version comes out...)
When the installation is complete, a folder called "old windows" saves all the files from the preivous running operating system, bt since it´s over 10 GB, I suggest you erase it..
Win 7 is fantastic!! I have my shift now running both Internet Explorer 8 and Opera, Office Pro 2007, Skype, Live Messenger, Eset Smart Security 4, Adobe Reader, and more.... as smooth as butter
Great..............Shift on W7.
Please someone could tell me if the differences are big using W7 instead Vista.
So, it's a great solution to move Shift to run on W7, or not ?
I upgraded my hard drive then changed to windows 7 with a clean install. It is amazing how much better my shift runs now that it is on W7. It is really worth it to upgrade.

Boot into SAFE MODE - Delete New Installed Graphic Card Drivers - Enable Windows 7 Classic theme in Windows and Reinstall drivers!
Can someone PLEASE reply ?
I am desperate. I deleted the HPA Partition in order to free up 3Gigs and installed Windows 7.
I followed all the tutorials, so i installed ECDriver (Vista Compatibility Mode + Run as Administrator) and Touch Screen Driver.
I mention that i see HTC Embedded Controller (in device manager) after installing ECDriver , but touch screen doesnt work (after installing touchscreen drivers) = No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display
What am i doing wrong ?!?
I also had the same problem, so, I've installed the VGA driver from the package the way mentioned somewhere here and in the same order, as I think the new VGA driver installed with the Win7 installation is missing an important bit at the end of the installation. After that, and after a reboot, the touch started, but I did not get a calibration screen. Even without the calibration, the screen seemed to be fine. I've also disabled Aero just in case as I did not want any more blue screens.
So you have installed ECDriver, Touchscreen and VGADriver (WinVista Compatible & Run as Administrator) in this order ?
When i install VGADriver, i get a 'Cannot copy'. I thought the driver was corrupt and tried re-downloading it, but this didn't solve the situation.
How did you manage to install it ?!?
First I've installed just touchscreen driver and it did not work, so I've installed EC driver and then touchscreen and it also failed. So, I've added the VGA. I think it did not want to install with Vista compatibility so I think I forced it through with XP compatibility, got a message saying the driver was older than what I had installed, I said yes, please, go ahead! It then installed and at the end some CMD windows poped up and then closed and I then installed touch screen again. Nothing seemed to have happened then, so I've restared the computer, had all my fingers crossed (very, very technical!) and voilá, touch screen was there.
Thanks for the support. I tried several times, following exactely your steps, but i didn't manage to make it functional.
Unfortunately I had to go back to Windows Vista.
Now i have Windows 7 Vista Ultimate SP2, instead of the preistalled Windows Vista Business OEM.
Althought it's running ok, i am waiting for the final version of Windows 7 (not the RTM that i tried installing).
Win7 installed = 7 GB, Windows Vista Ultimate = 14 GB :|
Hi
Sorry to hear that it did not work for you. Like I~ve mentioned elsewhere, the only thing that did not work for me all the way is the sd card that keeps dropping from explorer.
Did I mention that I did not do a clean install? I've installed it as an upgrade and had all the functions (Wifi, BT, Phone) on while upgrading to avoid the problem some people have of the wifi connection going missing when upgrading(W7)/downgrading(XP). I've been busy at work so did not have time to use it much or test it some more.
Well, you missed to mention that
I tried a fresh install, after deleting the HPA partition (now i have 37GB Hdd, instead of 33).
Maybe that's why it didn't work for me...
A friend of mine gave my his Shift to try installing Win7 via Upgrade. Maybe it works.
BTW : Windows 7 Ultimate SP2 is running just perfect on Shift. Too bad it occupies 20GB (after drivers and updates)
Hello,
I am a Windows user and want to try Linux on my pc. It's possible to install Linux if i came from Windows ? If yes, then how ?
Of course it's possible, Linux is an awesome OS, I'm using Ubuntu it looks wonderful and works amazingly fast.
If you want to use ubuntu take a look at
http://www.ubuntu.com/
You can choose to use Linux as your only OS or dual boot with windows, if you have issues or if you don't know how to install it, you can try wubi
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer
if you have a USB stick use Unetbootin or something like that to install linux on the stick. Once you have it on a stick you can boot and run linux off the stick so that nothing ever happens to your HD.
Also, once you download linux (most if not all) distros allow you run the OS to check it out and see if the drivers are compatible etc. Have a look...there are Many distros, they all have their place.
Ya, i know Linux is a great OS. I heard that it's more appropriate OS for such things like Android hacking, developing because Android OS is based on Linux.
In terms of installation, i'd prefer method using a DVD disc. So, what version i need to download and burn to the disc ?
What sort of specification is the PC that you want to run Linux on? If it's a fairly modern PC then you might be better placed downloading a copy of VMware Player and a VM Image of a Linux distro (Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora) - that way you can just run it without affecting your PC at all or having to worry about USB booting, dual-booting etc.

My laptop spec's: 2-core x64 bit intel cpu, 2gb of ram, 256mb vga, 1366 x 768 resolution.
Actually i'd like to run with dual-boot... Windows 7+Linux. So, which is better - Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora ? Gonna use more for android development purposes, not for gaming. Any suggestions guys ?

Before you run dual-boot, download each of the distros and run them as a Live image - try them out for a while. Mint is an improvement (IMHO) on Ubuntu, but they are very much the same base. Fedora is totally different.
I personally use Linux Mint. I have found that it integrates very well with everything I tend to use my computer for. To get a good base of what you like, I would recommend trying out both Linux Mint and OpenSuse live disks before you install one.
In the meantime, check out Wubi .
What is Wubi?
Wubi is an officially supported installer for Windows users that allows Ubuntu to be installed and uninstalled in a safe, easy way as with any other Windows application.

Here is a list of the top 100 linux distros. It is also a news site and good general knowledge.
Out of the options above, if you want only to use it for android and nothing else, go for Mint, it will most likely 'work' the best. But later on as you learn linux you will want to change and try other distros.
You can also have different window managers on one distro...personally I love E17 but it is underdeveloped. Have a look at the website above.
Moved to Off-Topic.

Windows cant read EXT2/3/4 partitions that are used in linux so as far as windows is concerened that part of the hard drive does not exist. as such the built in windows partition editor cant work with it
i use a live linux distro callled PartedMagic. it fits on a 1 gig USBstick all the instructions for creating that stick are on their site. from there you can resize your windows partition to reclaim that space. or you can reformat it to NTFS so that windows can see it as another drive. PartedMagic is also great for accessing your data should windows refuse to boot and accessing the OEM partition so you can reinstall windows if a virus screws it up.
If you resize a windows partition dont be alarmed if windows gose through its check disk routine on its first boot. Widows usually has a little freakout every time you resize its partition.
Of course it's possible!
But it depends on what you mean by install...?
Do you wish to virtualize it or actually install it to a physical partition?
Linux is an amazing OS, I've been thinking of switching to it full time, and just virtualizing windows on it. I recommend Linux Mint.

You can try GParted
freebsd compilation will go or not?
Use the WUBI installer. Some folks say it's a bit slower than running Ubuntu on a dedicated partition, but on your dual core pc, you'll never see a difference. Some say a WUBI install is less stable, but I've been using the same WUBI installation for over a year with not a single problem. It is true that it will only install up to 30 Gb but you can re-size your disk.img however big you want later if you decide you need more space, and you also have access to your Windows HDD space from within Ubuntu. Installation is super simple, and you won't have to mess with partitioning your HDD. I would go with Ubuntu 10.10 personally, because 11.XX uses the Unity gui and I think Unity sucks compared to Gnome2 which comes with 10.XX.

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?

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?

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...

Hi All,
I'm trying to get Ubuntu installed on my Touchpad... with lots of problems... (anyway, for now most are fixed...)
However, does anyone have a working link for TouchPadBuntuRootfs.tar.gz version: 12.04 LTS edition...??
- all links I found so far are dead!!
Ubuntu 12.10 Final = Screen Corruption, graphics messed up.
Ubuntu 13.04 Final = Does not install, and need to get rid of E17 and restore normal desktop
Ubuntu 12.04 = Cannot find this addition anyone, and Ive been trying...

Took me awhile I had android on my tp so I ran acme uninstaller to do a fresh start because for some reason my WiFi is not working on android.
When I did that it messed up my whole TP then I had to follow directions to factory reset it took me about an hour so now I'm downloading the files to try to run Ubuntu

Hi Hovax615,
Thanks for the link, but I am after the specific 12.04 LTS edition of that file...
As I have tried 12.10 but that appears to have limited driver support, and both the graphics display drivers are messed up, plus it wont let me join WiFi... Says I do not have permission, even though I'm an Admin user...
And 13.04 version does not install via the method I mentioned in the other post. It says it's installed, but ends up in a Boot-Loop (only in Ubuntu, all other OS's are fine...).
So if anyone has a link to the 12.04 / LTS Edition that would be most welcomed, as all links to that file seem to be dead at the moment...??
Yeah, restoring a Touchpad can be scary times... My first go at that, and I thought my Tablet had proper died... as even WebOS Doctor didnt want to know it... But thankfully, its alive and well... And now I know how to fix that again easily, its not so scary now... lol
Many thanks, Lister

Yeah I got it to run pretty easily via smackme2. From clean install all you have to do is make a folder “sminstall" put the files in it should be
UImage,
the kexec which on Ubuntu 13.04 it comes with it already.
Moboot
You have to have the smackme2 in the folder that you have acmeinstaller in when you loaded android. I have windows so mine would be in
Program files/palm, in
Okay so let me run it down for you.
Download the files you need it should be 4 files total depending if your going to run the 12.04 which should be 4
UIMAGE SMACKME2
KEXEC.TAR(OR WHATEVER IT IS)
MOBOOT
UBUNTU
MAKE “SMINSTALL" FOLDER IN TOUCHPAD COPY KEXEC.TAR, MOBOOT, UBUNTU TO SMINSTALL FOLDER.
THAN YOU WANT TO PUT THE UIMAGE SMACKME2 IN THE PALM, INC FOLDER.
NOW TO GET THE PALM, INC FOLDER YOU'LL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE NOVACOM DRIVER. WHICH I ASSUME YOU ALREADY DO.
UNMOUNT YOUR TP RESTART IT AND PUT IT INTO RECOVER (WHEN RESTARTED HOLD UP VOLUME)
NEXT YOU WANT TO OPEN UP “FIND" OR “SEARCH" ON YOUR LAPTOP OR COMPUTER AND OPEN EITHER CMD OR COMMAND PROMPT.
NEXT AS FOLLOWS FOR COMMAND PROMPT.

You can copy and paste that last one.
After that it should show the two penguins and start extracting.
It'll reboot the boot into kexec then toggle with volume button to Ubuntu and to select it press/hold the power button at the top.
I'm going to try to find Ubuntu 12.04 for you but its 1am here in California and I'm about to go to bed.
