Alright, so this is a guide to finally get the backtrack 5 software running inside of webtop. It uses chroot and xterm to allow full access to the software contained within the backtrack 5 arm image.
Prerequisites:
CWM Installed:
For all version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
WebTopMOD installed:
For 2.3.4 go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169457
For 1.8.3 go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093790
You do not need to download the Debian disk image. Will we be using the backtrack disk image instead.
BusyBox Installed in /system/bin:
Downloaded "BusyBox Installer" from the app store.
BE SURE TO INSTALL IN /SYSTEM/BIN!

The Goods:
BackTop.zip:
Download and un-zip the attached files into /sdcard/bt
BackTop.zip
BackTrack 5 ARM Image:
PART 1 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/p1BT5
PART 2 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p2
PART 3 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p3
These download links are from the xperia backtrack project and where I took inspiration to get it working in webtop. After using 7z to unarchive just place bt.img in the /sdcard/bt folder. The archives other contents can be safely ignored.

What you should have by now:
WebTOPMOD for Atrix.
BusyBox Installed in /system/bin.
Downloaded scripts placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.
Downloaded bt.img placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.

Give it a go:
Step 0: Connect the phone to display/lapdock. Run webtop and wait for it to boot.
Step 1: Open LXTerminal from the dock and type "cd /sdcard/bt"
Step 2: To run BackTop type "sudo bash backtop"
You should be presented with a white xterm screen. You can now use all the utilities built into backtrack 5 with ease. You can even run the gnome desktop environment! (More on that bellow)
Click to expand...

Running Gnome:
You first need to kill off all the webtop crap do this by typing the following in xterm.
"ps ax|grep awn|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"
"ps ax|grep panel|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"
Then start gnome by typing "gnome-session" in xterm.

Accessing sdcards:
You'll need to make two directories inside of backtrack /sdcard and /sdcard-ext to do this type:
"sudo mkdir /sdcard"
"sudo mkdir /sdcard-etc"
Once you've done this simply reboot your phone and restart BackTop.

Click to collapse
Known issues:
ettercap causes network connectivity inside of webtop to fail.
If something does go terribly wrong you can always force quit backtop with the following command:
"sudo bash /sdcard/bt/forcekillbt"

Cool stuff, I'll definitely check this out. Moved to development.
mate I don't have webtop but as a network engineer I'm giving this a big thumbs up, super cool to have a pen testing suite in your phone!!!

It might just be me but do your links work? Specifically the http://bit/ly ....etc. thanks

its a pen testing Linux suit. its essentially Linux loaded up with hacking tools meant for testing networks to prevent hacking or "penetration". hack your own network. discover the vulnerabilities. and patch them. - to put it simply
This is amazing. Thanks.
7z issue with the bt.7z
Hum... I might be doing something wrong but I am not able to uncompress the 3 volumes posted in the links... I was able to download them all but the only one who actually I can uncompress is the first one and it generate a file bt.7z that I am also unable to uncompress... I am getting the following msg when I try to 7unzip them:
"cannot open file 'x:\xx\xx\bt.7z.002' as archive"
Should I join them all into one then use 7zip?
Forget it I just found it out by myself... is using a program to join them all into one then Unzip it.
My dream come true .............. i assume that we can run kismet and metasploit framework ?!
What kernel and rom were you able to make this run well with as i am having really bad reboots after i undock the phone from the lapdock as i am running faux123 kernel and cherry crust v3.
webtop when connected to hdmi not doing anything...
I was trying to use this backtrack distro on my AT&T Atrix and I must admit that I am a kind of noob on this ... I wasn't seeing big advantage until now that we have bt to use instead of the stock version...
I have no Lapdock so I am using Ronaldo_9 CWM version to run Webtop on HDMI in my GB 2.3.4 ( 4.5.91 from Kenneth Penn ). It was working til I followed these instructions ...
Well a little bit of what I did:
1- Downloaded the WebTopMOD from Joe Ferreira v2 to install with CWM.
2- Got also BusyBox installed through the BusyBox Installer over my /system/bin
3- Downloaed (even knowing it's not needed) the Debian disk from Joe Ferreira link (to install webtopmod).
4- Downloaded the BlackTrack 5 image from the links on the first post
5- Downloaded the BackTop.zip from the first post
6- Created the /sdcard/bt folder and put only the bt.img and forcekillbt and backtop files from Backtop.zip file onto it...
7- Plugged in my HDMI cable over my tv (yes I have no lapdock)
8- The Webtop option pop's up and when I selected it.....
Nothing happened... not even an error msg or stuff... the only thing still working is EC... but webtop none.... Does anyone of you have any clue or hint of what can I do about it?
EDIT: Got it working... it was because of the broken V2 WebtopMOD so I flashed the V1 and everything went fine.... Thank you all for not helping it made me a better researcher
I think I just wet myself I've been waiting for someone to come up with this since they started the ARM archticture and ported it to the XOOM tablet

First, please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. It seemed most appropriate.
Second, I take no credit for anything here except for writing the .bat file here used to do the work, as well as assembling the files as per the original post.
All credit goes to djmwj and his article found here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8722-lenovo-ideapad-k1-rooting-guide-messy/
As the title states, it was very messy. The OP figured out how to make it go, but it was a bit fuzzy to follow. So, I thought I'd help folks out a bit and clean things up.
So, I took the instructions presented in the OP, and condensed them into one download with one .bat that does everything from start to finish, minus installing the respective drivers for ADB and NVFlash. However, the drivers are included in the download.
Instructions:
1. Extract K1Root.rar to the directory of your choosing.
2. Connect your tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
3. With your tablet off, press POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN until the screen turns on, but displays only black.
4. Windows should detect the device, but not install drivers.
5. Go into device manager, select the APX device, choose update drivers, and install the drivers from the aptly named NVFlash_Drivers folder.
6. Open up the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run the file K1Flash.bat
7. Make your desired choices when prompted, and enjoy.
Notes (PLEASE READ BEFORE USING):
THERE MAY BE BUGS! I used it on my own stuff before releasing, and all of the essential components work as they should, however, there may possibly be a minor hiccup somewhere in the script. This should not damage anything. If you have doubts, you're welcome to examine the .bat and check it for yourself.
Please be gentle. I am not a full-time developer. I just wrote this to help make the process simpler for people.
The OP suggests you download and read the partition table, and then name the backup files based on that. This script names the backup files based on the flash.cfg script referenced in the OP, which is what controls the flashes used anyway. So, there shouldn't be any irregularities, however, I can't speak for every device on the planet.
This does NOT use the latest OTA updates. The rooted files being flashed are the default ones from the original download. You can easily adapt this to any files generated from the latest OTA files by simply dropping them in the NVFLASH_HOME file.
To install the SU properly, you have to install ADB drivers midway through the script. There's probably a way around this, but I didn't find it to be too inconvenient.
The ADB drivers are also located in the NVFLASH_HOME folder. Just do like you did when installing drivers in step #5, but instead point to NVFLASH_HOME.
Um...um...
That should be it. Obviously, use at your own risk. Let me know if there are problems with the script, and I will fix them.
Oh, and party on, Wayne.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AG10XE25
EDIT:
Attached is an updated .bat file which fixes a few errors in the original script, plus adds more userability. Just extract to the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run.

You may want to change the title to Ideapad K1, I don't know if this will work for the Thinkpad tablet.
Thanks for this, I just picked up this tablet ($250 at staples) and was worrying about having to tackle linux and "compiling" just to be able to get hulu.com working. You're a lifesaver.

Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the key used is just for the Ideapad. Thanks for pointing that out. My dumb a$$ must've blanked out and just used the group name when posting.
And just to be fair, the original poster does include everything needed to do stuff in windows as well - it's just very hard to discern from the post.
question
Is anyone working on a custom ROM for this tablet? I am hopeing that there will be at least a few custom roms available at some point in the near future.

We need to be able to root and unlock the bootloader first.
Does the root method work on the 121211 update?
Or is there a way to flash back to the older firmware?
the OTA update 12 12 11.... seems to be update.zip style with no .img files inside. just loose files like normal rom updates. doesnt seeem like you can drop the files in as suggested. or i have the wrong OTA....
oh and is this for LINUX as the OP or work in windows too??
Hi, I was wondering, is this procedure works for the Lenovo ThinkPad 1838-25U? I'm thinking to buy it to give a test ride, i sold my Transformer 101 to buy the Prime but it seems like Asus is taking vacations on the delivery shipments. Is this a good tablet? or is better to wait for another version?
READ THE POST
IDEApad not THINKpad. no it wont work.
First of all- thank you so much for creating this script! I have been putting off rooting this device due to the "messy" nature of the original post.
I was hoping you could help me troubleshoot, I have tried both the new K1 root application and the original .bat file. I know the drivers are working because the script makes it as far as creating and formatting partitions and successfully pushes the bootlooder.bin but then:
bootloader.bin sent successfully
file not found: recovery.img
failed executing command 2147483647 NvError 0x4
command failure: create failed
I've tried everything I can think of... any ideas?
Thanks again.
I found problem.
after root done follow step. I cannot factory reset and update any ota.
anyone can help me ?

I recently got this device and looking for a way to root this device without having to roll back to the factory default rom and then having to update again using OTA.
Question, am I in luck, is that at all possible or do I have to really rollback and reinstall everything again?

Anyone have the root? Megaupload is down forever.
New to the site, so sorry in advance if this has been covered. Just wondering if anyone has rooted their Note using a Mac? I have not been able to find any info. regarding this matter. Any info. or tutorials would be greatly appreciated.
So far no rooting method available for mac OS.

Just set up a virtual machine of Windows. For example you can use VMWare oder Parellels or the free one, VirtualBox!
Then you can root you note on you Mac, but just in the virtual machine.
I always used this method, and it works well...

Download This
- Extract on PC
- Confirm you have installed driver on PC (Kies will do it)
- Enable unknown sources in setting - application on device.
- Enable USB debugging in setting - application - development on device
- For Mac, double-click and run runmemac.sh. Or you might have to run it in terminal like this:
sh runmemac.sh
-For Linux, double-click and run runmelinux.sh. Or you might have to run it in terminal like this:
sh runmelinux.sh

Thx for all the help. In your instructions why does it say say to extract to a PC if its MAC or do I skip that step? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm new to this whole android thing. ALso, is it really worth me rooting my device?
it is a .zip must be extracted (pc, mac or linux it's the same)
for example with 7zip [7-zip.org/download.html]
I apparently have no clue how to do this. I've tried to do what the post said, but have had no luck.

Update 08/2013:
tonyp said:
Okay, another project I can close down.
As some of you might know koush has built a universal adb driver a while back.
I sent him a pull request a week ago of my work for the P990/P999:
https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver/commit/a04fd56de48dc7a7cd0e20ece78ed19274b2bc5d
He merged it and did a rebuild of the driver, you can download it here:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi
Source code: https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver
There are a mainly two advantages by using it:
- it is a universal driver for many Android devices (all Nexus + several HTC, Samsung and Motorola phones)
- you don't need to disable driver signature enforcement on Win 8
If you only got one device then you won't need it at all of course, you can just use the official driver by LG.
This driver was built (and needed) before LG released ICS (and the updated driver for ICS+ ROMs).
If your device ID is missing send koush a pull request, the linked one I posted above should tell you the proper format.

Finally working adb drivers for ICS/JB in Windows!
This is an adb driver for Windows. LG's adb driver wasn't working for Android 4.0+ ROMs before they (finally) released their ICS update.
I modded Googles adb usb driver to work with the LG 2x (P990/P999).
Additionally this driver does work in CWM6 - especially useful as there are still some recoveries which aren't able to mount usb storage - with adb you can workaround that and adb push files to the /sdcard.
Installation instructions:
Download and extract this zip: http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/modded_adb_driver (use the newest version)
Win8 users only: You need to disable the driver signature enforcement. Follow the instructions in the second post.
Open the device manager
Rightclick LG-P990 (or similiar) and choose "Update Driver Software..."
Choose to "Browse my computer for driver software"
Click on Browse and navigate to the extraction folder
Hit next and choose the second option "Install this driver software anyway"
Done!
Troubleshooting:
If no driver gets found at step 7 your phone probably got a different Hardware ID.
I added all Hardware IDs for the LG 2x I am aware of, but there might be additional ones.
Please post your ID in this thread and I will release a new version of the driver for you
This screenshot shows which information I need: http://www.screencast.com/t/Z41IUcpq2
Win8 instructions:
To install an unsigned driver you need to disabe driver signature enforcement (sorry, I can't afford the 2000$ to buy a signing licence )
You need to do an advanced reboot.
Easiest way: Hit Win+R, type in the following command and hit enter:
Code:
shutdown -o -r -t 0
Click ‘Troubleshoot’.
Click ‘Advanced Options’
Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’
Click Restart
After the restart choose the option "7" - ‘Disable driver signature enforcement‘
Now install the driver as written in the OP. After your next reboot the enforcement gets enabled again.
Oups, I just wanted to reserve one post, well as I have this post now anyways I will use it to link to the following comic:
http://www.joke-portal.com/cell_phone_users_iphone-android-blackberry.jpg
Great !!!!!!! Big step for us, many thanks!

Please try again to follow the instructions precisely.
If this doesn't work you can try these alternative driver test version: testversion

Thanks for your help. It's working now!!
I have set the ID to USB\VID_18D1&PID_6866.
New version up. No need to upgrade if the old version works for you, there are no changes to the driver, I just made the driver compatible to two new Hardware ID's (P990h and I think P990 white).
Hi Tonyp,
It also doesn't work for me.

Credit to texasice for uploading the images and instructions. You'll need to find a program on windows that can extract .tar.xz files but after that you should be able to flash them using fastboot on windows. Oh and I'd recommend reading the other thread here.

Yeah it's been posted on many sites. Although I'm waiting for a Windows installer. Don't feel like installing ubuntu just to install this... :/

Just get Wubi, it installs to a folder within windows. Then you have the choice for dualboot too.

*if it works*, used it before, sometimes it works sometimes you're left with a broken install.
I found the images anyways like 5 mins later and fastboot flashed em. Worked fine. Went back to regular android though. Brokeity broke broken lol.
Wasn't too bad with a mouse and kb but still not ready. Has a way to go.

Thanks, i'm well versed in the know how of this stuff, but thanks for the links all the same.
7zip can extract the tar.xz file if anyone was wondering.
