Backtrack5/Ubuntu v10.04 Up & Running On Tab 10.1
StatementHave this on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and working perfect so i figured i would give it a try on the Tab 10.1. There were alot of people who helped get this running for other devices i will mention them so dont worry. Alot of modifications had to be made in order to get this to run on the Tab because it was really made for a phone not a tablet so please follow all the steps cause there is certain code that i had to right to get the screen size to fit. Everything is fully functional and working. Finally i think this would be a nice addon to your Tab esp if your a big Ubuntu fan, I am currently working with other developers to see if we can update this so it has the new Ubuntu v11.10 but for now follow the steps and enjoy and if theres any questions or requests just write on the thread and PM me. ENJOY!!!

Before We StartThere are going to be 10 files attached at the bottom you need to download all 10, place them on your desktop for now i will explain what your going to do with them after. Next you need to download 7Zip heres the link http://www.7-zip.org/download.htmlOk now those 10 files waiting on your desktop extract ONLY 1! i chose to extract bt.7z.001 once you extract you will be given a .img file create a folder called bt and put all ten of the files inside bt including the .img so you now should have a folder on your desktop called bt with 11 files in it. Take this folder and put on the root of your Tab.Now there will also be another file attached called bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2 take this file and put it on the root of your Tab. Reboot into recovery mode and wipe cache and davik cache and then flash that file once complete reboot your Tab.Once your rebooted use some kind of file explorer i used root explorer and check the /sdcard/bt folder for the following it should look like this when you explore it./sdcard/bt/bt/sdcard/bt/bt.img/sdcard/bt/installbt.sh/sdcard/bt/startbt/sdcard/bt/stopbtOnce your verify that the above if correct you can proceed

i believe it does but im not 100% on that
I cannot get this to work. Every time I try to install the bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts or bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2, it says installation aborted. Needs to be Nandroid restored otherwise it won't boot. Any ideas?
So can i use both of honeycomb and ubuntu alternatively or together? Because in screenshots i can still see honeycomb taskbar at bottom over Ubuntu.
Nice work. And how to uninstall it?
Ok for JAYDAWGX7: are you wiping cache and davik cache before flashing and is your cwm up to date? if so and still having problem try a different kernal and get back to me
Ok for PARAG31: yes you can run bolth all backtrack5/ubuntu is doing is running threw vnc you are not loosing honeycomb you still have that as a base platform backtrack/ubuntu is just running threw vnc so to answer your question this does run bolth

Yep, same problem here. Any ideas? Any one else try this?
P7500 running Overcome 10.1 Rom, with Pershoot Kernel 2.6.36.4, with CWM v5.1.2.3. Yes with wipe of both cache.
EDIT:
After further investigation, the zip file only contains the files found in the bt folder. Just extract it to the /sdcard/bt dir. Assuming that it makes no other changes to system.
Got to [email protected], haven't done the rest yet! Will update post later.
EDIT:
Everything works after this.
Plus, i dont think monitor mode or injection works. Not without modified drivers (STILL HOPING ITS NOT THE CASE). Maybe usb? Hows usb hosting on this? Hope someone can answer these questioms.
I have a compatible wifi adapter, but no usb adapter for the tablet! I'll put it on my buy list.
Will this work on the 3G version also?
Edit: Awesome! It works perfect, thanks! Only remember to have busybox installed guys!
The correct resolution is 1280x752, so it is : "vncserver -geometry 1280×752"
also ur script isnt flashable. only thing in /data is busybox, just install busybox from market and change script
will work on 3g and wifi versions
very nice, also works on GTab 7310 (8.9 Wifi 3g)
heaven, thank you!
Awesome, works like a charm, and it blows everybody's mind.
I spent a little time on try to get capture mode to work, but gave up with the original network drivers.
I hoped it would be possible to use a normal usb wifi stick connected to the adapter, compile the drivers, and load them as modules, but i'm getting error messages when doing that, and that's where my knowledge of linux ends.
Anyone tried this yet? Any pointers? (currently flashing overcome 2.0, will try to post errormsg later)
Also, I read in one of the CarrierIQ threads that one of the pieces of the app actually uses libPcap to snoop on our asses. Would it be any help (or problem) that that's enabled in the parent OS?
Just one question: Can I use bluetooth keyboard/mouse with it? And will TrueCrypt run?
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 ?

It means you are not in APX mode. Read the PDF and follow the instructions for installing the APX drivers. This should fix your issues.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=50
I just completed step 3 flashing the image went fine up to bootloader .bin sent successfully ...then it says

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?
Thanks!

Anyone have the root? Megaupload is down forever.
BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) Both the CF and SuperRoot auto-root's would give me "No such file or directory" errors in reference to fastboot when I knew damn well fastboot was present and working!
I don't have 10 posts and therefore I cannot post this in the actual CF-Auto-Root thread where this might help someone. However, If you happened to be having the same issue I had, I hope you find this.
I assume I cant post links to things either so, we'll skip that and hope people can google-along with me.
I should say that I am mostly to blame for my own issue since I read through several different rooting methods and I tried to quilt together pieces from each. Sometimes I think I'm smarter than I actually am when I should really just follow directions.
Here's how I went about it:
1. I pulled "adb" and "fastboot" from the webpud8 PPA (no issues)
2. I used "fastboot oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader (no issues)
3. I tried two separate auto-root methods and the Nexus-toolkit (NOTHING WORKED!)
My solution:
After pulling most of my hair out I began to realize the scripts were trying to reference a "fastboot-linux" file from the auto-rooter-specific files. In the case of CF-Auto-Root it was looking for "CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4/tools/fastboot-linux". I don't know why the referenced "fastboot-linux" was throwing errors but I did know I had "fastboot" installed and that it was working fine.
I ran the two pieces of CF's "root-linux.sh" script manually, substituting "fastboot" in place of "tools/fastboot-linux".
They looked like this (It's important the CF-Auto-Root folder is extracted into the Home directory):
sudo fastboot oem unlock
sudo fastboot boot ~/CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4/image/CF-Auto-Root-mako-occam-nexus4.img
I'm no expert (but I did stay in a Holiday Inn....once), and I can't claim this wont send you further in the wrong direction - but it finally ended hours of frustration for me!

tl;dr Use the fastboot executable that comes with adb-tools instead of the one that comes with CF-Auto-Root
I decided to upgrade the N6 to Marshmallow today, and everything was going smoothly until I tried to regain root with CF-Auto-Root. Every time I ran the .bat file I got he error:
Code:
...
We will now attempt to boot CF-Auto-Root. You should see a red Android on the
screen of your device in a minute, with scrolling white text on top of it.
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 5.004s
...
I hunted around google for a bit but couldn't find any real answer. I opened the .bat file to see what it was doing and maybe try to pinpoint the command that was failing. I saw that it was calling the fastboot that came in the CF-AutoRoot zip (tools\fastboot-windows.exe) On a hunch I copied in the fastboot.exe I had from adb-tools into the CF-AutoRoot directory, and changed all references of 'tools\fastboot-windows.exe' to 'fastboot.exe' in the .bat file.
I ran the .bat file again, and everything worked as it should. Booted into the OS and had root again.
Hopefully this can help someone in the future!
even better.. don't use toolkits to root, especially when you are not knowing much about the processes. learn to do it properly. its easier than using the toolkit for sure, and faster. if you know what you are doing already, then its fine to use a toolkit. but if you are clueless(like most that use toolkits), then learn the right way first, because toolkits mess up, and often.
I have run into the same error while attempting CF Auto Root on my 3 day old Nexus 6. I dont know exactly how to move my fastboot.exe into the windows bat file but I am pretty sure I can figure it out with some reading and research. I agree with simms22 as well. I dont like using toolkits because I dont know what the toolkit is doing when it executes. I would rather perform the steps myself so I have a better understanding of what is happening during the process. I have a good understanding of adb and fastboot even though I am new to the Nexus 6. I am not new to Android though. @CleanSanchez, if there is any information you wouldnt mind passing on about how you modified the bat file I would appreciate it. Thanks for the quick little guide. I will get it figured out for sure. It may just take some time and some research. Thats all I have been doing for the first 3 days I have owned the device. I have read post after post and forum after forum here on XDA. I dont mind being a noob when it comes to a new device but Ill be damned if Im gonna make noob mistakes by getting in a hurry.
Edit:
I followed @CleanSanchez quick guide in the OP and wouldnt ya know, it worked for me too. I read a short Microsoft guide about editing Windows batch files and gave it a shot and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the guide.
Rename the fastboot.exe is a bit easier than editing the bat. Thanks for the guide
Some clarification for anyone needing more details.
Copy the fastboot.exe. file in the tools folder, into the zip CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6.
Right click on the root-windows file and then click edit.
Change all 'tools\fastboot-windows.exe' to 'fastboot.exe' should be 6 lines of changes needed to be made
Make sure your Nexus 6 is in the bootloader
Click on fastboot.exe to root your phone
I must thank you @CleanSanchez because I got this phone a couple of days ago and this is only guide that actually worked. Hours spent got me continuously failing the fastboot windows. Even though it is years after the fact, you have my thanks.:good:

Hey, when you ran the flashall_AFT.cmd did it run forvere? Did you ever get a complete message or your phone to reboot? I am trying to downgrade just the same, and I cannot ever get that raw file to flash over. Now my image is corrupt and I cant boot the phone, thank goodness I made backups, but still I cannot seem to flash the phone no matter what.

My phone was at android 10 beta when I did these steps:
Tried running the bootloader unlocker and it gave me an error (I ignored it and continued)
I activated devmode for usb debugging (tapping 5 times on build #)
Made sure I allowed my pc to use debug mode (by tapping the always allow porompt)
I already had the google drives installed
I downloaded this file (which is linked in the post)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1ey0TOWq0pW1Qid7yqy83i0TqLYgwKR/view
Extracted it on my pc desktop (anywhere in a fresh document)
Rebooted my phone in bootloader
Connected my rog 2 to my pc using the side usb (***Important to do not plug it in the bottom usb***)
Ran flashall_aft.cmd and after about 8m - 10m it rebooted, forced me to do a factory reset
Then the phone was all good
If you did all the steps above and it's still not working then sorry I'm more of a "follow guides" kinda guy so my knoledge on the matter is pretty limited

Thank you for your help, apparently the USB hub I was using was had horrible transfer rates, and so even in 45 minutes nothing was finished copying over. Went directly to the USB on my pc and everything ran wonderfully! Thank you again!

You should be really careful about using USB hubs, for anything flashing related or if you are transferring a file without a checksum I would highly recommend going direct to a normal USB port.
