Will this work with an ATT that has a locked bootloader that needs loki file for the kernel?

well for one this is for jfltexx, and secondly if the boot loader is locked i doubt that could flash it as u need a new the boot.img.
if you want it on att model you ill prob need to buid depreciated ubuntu touch.
depreciaed UT boots android then ubuntu in a container
this boots ubuntu then andriod in container.

Well see with ATT we can boot custom roms(MDL users) as long as the kernel is already lokidokied, or you can flash the loki zip and it will bypass the ATT check and allow you to boot a custom rom, Now seeing how this is based of CM10.2(thats what the file is saying so i am just taking a guess) if I flashed the Loki zip after flashing the rom would it work? But I am doing a backup as of now and I am going to test and see if it works :3 I will report back lol

the base may be cm10 but it doesnt boot cm10. the boot.img gets flashed and it boots ubuntu , the cm part is in a container within ubuntu

[DEV] Ubuntu on Nexus S (natively)

Ok, so following on from the MeeGo thread, I have Ubuntu booting on the Nexus S using the same method and same kernel.
The Ubuntu image used is the HD2 Ubuntu image (v 0.3), loaded from a file on the internal memory (again, no flashing required - you can thank me later).
The touchscreen isn't yet working, but that's my kernel at fault. Will fix that with the MeeGo stuff.
If you want to try this yourself, first grab yourself a copy of Ubuntu for HD2, and take just the rootfs.ext2 file and drag it to your Nexus S (put it in a folder called 'ubuntu' - lowercase is important!).
Then use fastboot to boot the following image (or flash it to recovery partition if you're daring and know how dangerous that can be):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/bootUbuntu.img
You will need to do one minor edit once the device is booted; you will see the screen output is very weird; ADB push the following file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then reboot Ubuntu:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/xorg.conf
If you're in any way interested, please click the thanks button! Otherwise, enjoy!
nice!
the next thing we'll need after getting the touch screen working
is to have a calling app daemon, and make sure internet works on both 3G and WiFi
nice, look same at Ubuntu Netbook Edition
What about Galaxy S?

In theory the same stuff should work; I don't have a Galaxy S to test on or I'd try it. I don't know anything about the Galaxy S' bootloader, or how much the kernel would differ (I'm guessing not at all, since this is a stock Samsung kernel from the Android kernel source)
I did an article on my site http://www.android-ita.com/dev-port-di-ubuntu-sul-nexus-s/
Maybe some italian devs, will help you
Thanks for this, gonna have a play now
Why is it dangerous to flash the boot image to recovery? Isn't fastboot lower level than recovery, or have I got that wrong?
nice, thanks. trying this as soon as my wife gets off my phone.
Oh my god.. You are awesome good sir. Will give it a run when touch is up and running!
I'd love it to be run from Android....i dont want it natively, just to test it...booting for example from an android app
I would love to know if this will work on Epic 4G. I'm going to give it a shot to see what happens.
Great job
Could you give us the sources of your kernel ? Is it patched ?

There are no changes to the kernel at all so far. I changed the config file to enable VTs, that's it.
Ok, thank you, I'll try to build one myself
can this method be used to install android 2.3 on a phone running android 2.1,
especilly in the case when upgrading is difficult because of kernel and locked bootloader (like motorola devices) ? excuse me if it is a silly question, i'm not a coder.
would it be possible to make an app that re-boots into fastboot and runs the fastboot command. since we dont always have a comp available to run fasboot which makes this useless if your not at home, or have a laptop (in which case you dont need ubuntu on a phone)
works on Nexus One right now ?
--> ok I'm trying
It blocks on X screen of my nexus one.. before the classic bootanimation.zip
Someone have any idea about that ?
Ok, so I've got wifi working . Here is my solution. A little bit crappy but... hey... it's a start ! Also, I tried compiling the kernel with the module built in and it wont boot, and I don't know why ?
Howto get wifi :
1) Boot Ubuntu following stroughtonsmith indications
2) Download http://tyruiop.org/~tyruiop/wifi_nexuss_ubuntu.tar.bz2
3) push the vendor directory at the root. The path must remain (/vendor/firmware etc...) and the bcm4329.ko file wherever you want.
4) reboot under ubuntu
5) *optional, only if ifconfig -a doesn't show eth0* type insmod /path/to/bcm4329.ko
6) Type "ifconfig -a". An eth0 interface should appear. It's wireless. You can configure it with wpa_supplicant without a problem .
Uhm.. with Nexus One, Ubuntu blocks on X SCREEN (before the classic bootanimation).. Maybe something that I do is wrong ?
- Download HD2 Ubuntu
- mkdir ubuntu/
- put in ubuntu/ the fs on the archive I downloader
- put ubuntu/ in the SDCARD
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot boot bootUbuntu.img
Is it correct ?

[ROM] Adeo v0.2 (REDUX) for Atrix 4G

***MOD EDIT***
THIS ROM ONLY WORKS ON 4.1.26. Please consider another ROM unless you know what you are doing.
History & IntroThe first version was done with 3 different batch files, it ended up being very hacky and even ended up bricking one phone because the cleanup script didn't properly work.
I have rebuilt it from the ground up as a shell script. The initial temp root and file push is done with a batch file, it then fires off the install script on the phone which reports back to the batch with helpful info about what it is doing and what to expect from the phone as it goes. You no longer have to accept any superuser requests either.
The new script has been used on tons of phones now, everything executed exactly as I expected it to. I really didn't want to post this until we had a stock firmware to restore to, after the first release I have been worried about you guys bricking your devices, but what the hell, here it is anyways.
Come chat with us!​FeaturesWorks for rooted and non-rooted devices
Deodexed
Reboot Option
Reboot to Recovery option
Ad Blocking
Removed power options header​ChangelogAdeo v0.2: (3/9/2011)
Added Unknown Sources checkbox
Added Preferred install location (internal, sdcard, let system decide)​Adeo v0.1: (2/28/2011)
Reboot to Recovery option
Ad Blocking
Only remove app/framework Dalvik-Cache (fixes /data app issues)
Removed power options header​Four simple rulesDo NOT do a factory reset if something goes wrong(soft brick), you will lose adb access and have a pretty brick
Do NOT do this if you are not familiar with ADB, if you softbrick you need to use adb to fix it
DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY, EVER WHILE INSTALLING
BE PATIENT​How to Install
Read the four rules above
Read the four rules above, again
Read the four rules above, again, one more time to make sure you've got it
Download the installer (AdeoInstallerv0.1.7z, AdeoUpdaterv0.2.7z)
Hook up your phone via usb with ADB enabled
run INSTALL.bat from the unzipped files
sit back, relax, wait until it reboots (can take upto 5min, be patient!!)
Read the disclaimer below
Enjoy!
DisclaimerIf you brick your device, I cannot be held responsible. Simply restore with the stock SBF to get you phone working again.​Video Walkthru
Nice! First basic rom How would someone restore back to stop if you cant do a factory reset? I know on the captivate I had a nice Odin flash to do that.
Thanks
A custom ROM?
I'm going to have to buy an Atrix!
EDIT: Bought it!
EDIT2: And Adeo'd it. All UI lag is gone! This is awesome!
I am running this in my Atrix now - I believe my phone was the 4th phone to have this install perfectly on with no issues. Designgears, you are the man, once again! Thank you for this!
PM sent DG. I cheated an caught link a few minutes early and wanted say thanks! This is running great with no issues and I'm loving the reboot option...
Installed on mine, worked flawlessly. Thanks!

the factory reset is only if you brick.
There is no easy way to get back to stock, I will make a thing just like this installer to do that, actually its done, testing it

So if all else fails, the factory reset will bring it back to out of the box shape? Just concerned because Im still debating if I want to keep the phone before my 30 days is up etc. Id like to return it as stock obviously, but I also need to test out custom mods before my decision.
Thanks man.
I am curious, what changes were made for the reboot mod?
Also, thanks for the rom!

I designed this script to handle payloads, just need to package up one with a new payload with stock files and upload it.
Installed... Removed Laggyness i was getting with blur UI.
as to refering to the blur UI....
this is my second Atrix.. had to bring my first one back because when i was on tier 3 support the other night they fried the sim card reader with an update which was killing data signal to my phone... that phone had no laggyness whats so ever at all. I got this one today out of the box was having laggyness and slow response to key presses.. this fixed that as of so far.

Hello designgears,
Did you re-signed the apks? If so, could you share the key files you used? The reason I ask for it, it's because I am playing around with the /system/app apks and was getting errors like:
"Package com.motorola.blur.home has no signatures that match those in shared user"
Awesome job, btw!
Stupid question. How do I hook up the phone with adb enabled? When I run the bat file it says error: device offline, but in my devices I see ADB interface Mot Composite ADB interface.

Install the Android SDK
install the MOTO drivers it will also install the moto adb drivers with it.
Install the ADB function drivers into the SDK/tools folder
run...cd to the sdk/tools folder... run... adb devices
should show the device is up which means ADB is enabled

I'm sure I'm being retarded but where do I get the Motorola drivers to allow for ADB access?
*nevermind I found them*

No mkdir failed for tmp, failed /data/local permission denied. Still no go not sure how to get permissions for the /data/local folder.
Do I just replace the files from that new folder in ICS ROOT from the first one too test?
And where can I find the drivers? I donwloaded it from motorola but I am still not able to detect my device.
I am running VMWare on my macbook pro and made sure sub connects to that.

I found the drivers at Motorola dot com and queried on USB Drivers and found the Motorola Device Manager.
I can't post links just yet.

Problem was cable and now it is being found. Root did not work for me it all though it failed
We are getting though! I Believe in you:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Seems we need to figure out how to access /data/local directory this is where the problems lies with permission's. I have been trying for a day on and off due to work and have had no success so far. I will continue to help as much as I can.

I am not trying the auto script, I am working on finding the exploit to allow the proper setup for rooting and permissions is our issue right now.
Try a new cable or rebooting your computer and see if it sees your phone then.

Removing System Apps

I'm rooted and am trying to mount the system to remove bloatware apps... However everytime Titanium Backup removes it and I reboot it's still there...
Anyone have any ideas?
System is protected: you can't modify it while the phone is booted. You'll have to make a zip or whatever to delete it in recovery.
You have to be kidding me...
I've spent all day long trying to root this bastard phone and that didn't work then I managed it and now I can't disable, remove any apps ?
So much for HTC being dev friendly

It seriously took you all day to root? What went wrong?
Did you try just freezing the app instead?

So you can no longer go into ES explorer, mount root/system go to system > apps and delete whatever you want ?

The recovery flashed but wouldnt boot , managed to get round it when i discovered POB with his superboot Thank god for the desire C
Then i realised that i couldnt flash anything because I manged to install 6.0.2.8 as a boot img, and 6.0.3.0 as a proper recovery.
Then i didnt have any files on the device to flash boohoo so i managed to get ADB sideload working through the AIO One Toolkit... And managed to flash AHRD finally getting a working device,
As you see Im a seasoned vet at these things but the HTC One has been the first device that has stumped me....
----------------------
The apps issue is not unkwown for HTC however they havent done this for a while.... Back with the G2 they did exactly the same thing and yes ive frozen them but there should be away to remove system apps for us through root.... But i cant remember how, Throwing it into ADB Shell and requesting SU along with a Remount works fine but still would like to remove the apps.
Im also looking for someone with a locked phone... (Sim Locked) i have a theory and it worked on the Desire C Anyone wanna help?

Delete the apps with titanium and power off the phone. Don't do a restart.
Already tried that ^_^
You need to flash a custom kernel with a modified ramdisk to disable system protection Without doing that you're like deleting an app on windows with deepfreeze on it
Is that the only solution?
There are so many bloated useless and intrusive (cr)apps on this phone it's unbelievable.
Other solution is boot in recovery and delete it there. Either thru adb while in recovery mode, flashable zip or through file manager(if you're using TWRP). Other than that nope
Hmmm I'm thinking adb through recovery here but how do I got about doing this?

the joys of a s-on devices
read up on adb commands...
or use the zip I attached and edit line 18 in this format with the apps you want to get rid of, use a file explorer to get the proper names.
make a backup first in case you mess up something
Code:
delete("/system/app/xxxxx.apk", "/system/app/xxxx.odex", "/data/app/xxxxx.apk");
The best way to remove apps in recovery is through adb:
Code:
adb shell
sysrw
rm /system/app/abc.apk
the simple way is ROM CLEANER, but isn't available yet for the One.
cheers

I dont have a One, and dont plan on having one (ever, thanks to this thread! I think I'll stick to Sony, they have instructions to unlocking bootloader on their official website)
BUT, if the system is locked, it should be locked trough ADB too, so I guess what I'd try is install busybox, custom recovery, go into recovery, connected it to the PC (or a mac, but since we're on no-apple forum, I'll assume PC), mounting system there and doing your thing.
You can install busybox and custom recovery right?
Edit: never mind, I should really learn to read. Sometimes I think I'm dyslexic a little, just for words, not letters.
I did not see the 'recovery' part mentioned.
Anywho, mounting system is what you forgot, so at least I said something helpful

[DISCUSSION]Hotspot Mod with tutorial on adding Hotspot toggle

This is the place to discuss all things Hotspot Mod. Problems, confirmation of it working etc...
Please keep the dev section clean.
The HotspotMod Thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950
Below is a tutorial on how to add the WiFiHotspot button to the notification panel using the free sqlite Database Editor
Thanks to DJSmoove for his find and to wicked for his original work located here http://www.galaxys4forums.net/forum...d-add-wifi-toggle-your-verizon-galaxy-s4.html.
sqlite Database Editor Instructions
How To Add WiFiHotspot To The Notification Panel
Missing Hotspot Option In Settings
Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings.
If you can't edit the database on 4.3
If you can't edit the database on 4.3 download, install and run the TB Restore Fixer from playstore.

Works great on 3g and 4g for me. Actually tethering with it now.
Just pulled the two files out and pushed them manually to the system/framework folder.

Thank you sir. Good to see you around.
The only thing I miss about my E4GT is 4g tethering. Since Cleveland will be WiMax only for a while that means my tethering for me. 3g sucks here also.

I am rooted. I do not have a custom recovery though. Can I flash through stock recovery? If not, where is a working custom recovery? I have read mixed reviews on them at this point.
The alpha cwm recovery works fine just is tricky to navigate.
There is an adb version but you really need to be comfortable using cwm anyway in case something goes wrong.
Has anyone tried it with Foxfi?
I am pretty comfortable but I was hoping I could skip it all together and flash through stock. Possible?

Not with stock recovery. If you want to ask crawrj for the adb version that would be the only way currently.
Ok. Thank you!

Is there functionally any difference between the hotspot mod and the treve tether mod? Or do they function the same, just see what you like better? I am on rooted gb27 with comadose tweaks. Whoops, just noticed I was in the s4 section, I am on the sprint s2.

There are instructions in the Hotspot Mod download section. There are two options, one with custom recovery and one without. To use the one with custom recovery you need to download the custom recovery tar and flash it with Odin. Then follow the instructions to install. The other option already has detailed instructions.
Do you have a specific question that you need help with?

Not sure. I always use the native hotspot. I find that it is faster and more reliable. I am also really anal and like to use the native options if at all possible.

Yeah it is in post two of the mod thread.
Ok, I thought it worked until I read "read-only filesystem":
Code:

Rebooting Phone
I ran it from CMD & tried running the bat. Running the bat directly never prompted me with the RSA. Running it from CMD, it did everything, include pulling the stock files as backup, even reboot the phone.
I've tried several different times, but couldn't get the RSA prompt.
EDIT: Still no prompt, but running it from the bat by double clicking the bat did reboot the phone this time. Othertimes it did not after hitting any key. I'm not sure it's related, but I can USB tether. I disabled my NIC & was still routing via my phone. Even verified the IP was not what my router DHCP is configured for.

Operation not permitted means that you don't have adb insecure installed or setup.
