I'm an android newbie, so I might be missing the obvious but I looked around and couldn't find anything.
I just installed Cyanogen 6.1 RC1, installed fine, and now I want to install dropbear on it.
I found a thread that said how to do it, and I had it all setup, made my keys and everything, but when I went to run it I got
TRACE (79): bind(22) failed
so I did ifconfig (as root) and got nothing.
Okay, I can see why I can't bind to port 22 when there are no interfaces to bind to.
This ifconfig came from busybox which seems to come with cyanogen so I assume it works...
I'm connected via wifi, that all works, but no interface.
Any suggestions where to start looking?
Just in case anybody's taking tallys the camera also yields a blank screen that hangs forever, but that doesn't bother me so much yet, I'm really interested in being able to ssh to the phone.
Thanks for any help anybody can provide.
Like, what's ifconfig supposed to display?
so I'm slowly learning
I rebooted my phone, tried to run dropbear again and got the same error unable to bind, but this time it said "address already in use"
Hunh.
So I tried to ssh to it, and voila game on.
So that worked itself, out.
Now that I have a real keyboard to type on I start poking around, and realize that busybox can't do everything it might on a rather fuller linux machine, so ifconfig is just not going to work. Fair enough.
While I realize everything has to be flashed into rom, it's a shame /etc is in rom where one could tidy things up to their liking a bit more.
But a great system it is.
Common ICS Problems
If you plug in USB while your tablet is asleep you will have a SOD
Installation Problems
Install tips from tlb1961 here and lyricalpapa in post #3
Try not to use any backup's as they cause many problems.
Make sure your using CWM 5.5.0.4 Beta 15 (comes with the nvflash in TeamDRH ICS thread)
On your first boot let it sit for 30-60min (the longer, the better) and then reset.
If all else fails try this
Th3DmaN's G-Tablet Tools for anyone who is having trouble connecting and flashing their G-Table
Speed Problems
Different launchers such as Apex or Nova or any compatible launcher may or may not increase smoothness. There is no problem with installing them on top of the stock launcher as only one launcher runs at a time.
Battery and Power Problems
Your tablet went to sleep and wont wake up, try pushing the power button a couple of times and wait 5 seconds inbetween presses.
Your tablet has completely frozen, try pushing the power button for 30+ seconds. If that doesn't do it, you can leave your tablet alone for a couple hours and try again (may or may not work) or you can wait till the battery dies or if your impatient you can open the tablet up and press the internal reset, it looks like this. Here are some helpful pictures and a video for opening it up. If you have no reset button you will need to disconnect the battery, here's what it looks like. If you do get a SOD do this to help the developers.
Connection & Browser Problems
WiFi not working, try to "forget" the WiFi and re-enter your password. Also can try resetting your router or changing the security. Some say ICS does not like high channels.
If your having market errors, try force closing and clearing the cache in settings\apps\all. If that doesn't work then find every market reference and force close then clear the cache and reset.
Your computer doesn't recognize your tablet, you will need MTP drivers read the ICS rom page again. For Windows XP you need to disable debugging. For linux try Th3DmaN's guide.
Adhoc does not work with this build.
Stock browser seems to lock up after a bit. Possible fix is to disable java. Thanks plastikman
Screen and Sound Problems
1080p on H/W? Use Handbrake and import this profile. Here's the high profile settings for 720p, for those wanting the best quality.
Videoplayers such as MxVideo player, can play H/W video but the sound will need to be changed to S/W.
Icons and text too small? Try using this guide. CAUTION Changing the DPI really messes with the Market.
DSP Manager has been causing slowness/audio problems. Try stopping it to see if that's the problem. You can delete it safely if causing problems.
Game and Apps Problems
Alot of games and apps are not updated for ICS yet so they won't work correctly.
Hulu flash hack here. It should work. Anyone with Hulu can you post your results.MAY NOT WORK ANYMORE
Bypassing Exchange Security Policy try this
Connecting the ICS Mail app to Microsoft's Cloud hosted Exchange services check here
Gamepad support - follow jazzruby's guide here
Miscellaneous Problems
Errors popping up constantly, you need to reinstall again and make sure this time you erase everything.
Nandroid backups, you need to follow this guide
Important Notes
The SOD (sleep of death) we talk about is when the device goes into a sleep mode and there is absolutely no other way out but by pressing the internal reset. This is also called a kernel panic.
We are always talking about roms on Bootloader 1.2 unless specified.
When installing or removing things from the system, it is always a good idea to reset and clean the cache, clean the dalvik cache and fix permissions.
USB problems sometimes are caused by your own computer, you may have to restart/change USB port/change USB cables/check your USB drivers
Windows 7 is the implied OS most are working on, if you have different then ask.
IF I'M MISSING SOMETHING PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Stuff that WILL cause a SOD (sleep of death) causing you to push the internal reset
DON'T DO THESE
If you plug in USB while your tablet is asleep you will have a SOD
If you do get a SOD please do this so the developers can help.
Use the reset button
Don't power the tablet off at all, just use the internal reset button
Don't touch the tab or do anything but logging into adb.
If for some reason you can't open adb, you can use terminal on the rom
At the prompt type:
Code:
su
Hit enter and then
Code:
cat /proc/last_kmsg
If this doesn't work, the easier way is to access it is with a root explorer by going to /proc and then copy last_kmsg to /sdcard (rename to last_kmsg.txt or zip it up in a file).
Copy and paste the results to a paste bin and post the link. If you don't know pastebin then just post the last 10 lines or so.
tlb1961 install guide
Howdy all,
Glad to hear most are having good luck with this newer revision. To those seeing odd issues after install, I would suggest start over from scratch and clean out the gTab prior to reinstall including repartition the internal SDCard. Run the ROM for a bit before installing anything else. If you have a lot of media files on an microSD card then let it sit for a little while. Once the ROM is running smoothly you should then apply the latest the3dman GApps package.
I know it's tempting to try and hang onto old configs and settings, but it will give you a better experience in the long run if all old data is cleared.

Here's some things I do that work for me:
1. Give my tablet time to boot - let G-Mail, Google Maps, and the other apps load in, talk to the mail server, etc. I watch the activity in the "broadcast" symbol and wait for the browser widget to display its bookmarked pages.
2. Follow the dev's install instructions and @serialplague's FAQ - goes without saying.
3. Have Patience - I give the cache driver's balancing and optimising routines time to do their work after I load a ROM, plus any time I add/remove apps or any time I make changes to the settings. Remember this is a Beta Test ROM and not a snapshot image of a fully tested, optimised, and balanced ROM that you would get if you were to buy a new ASUS Transformer or whatever.
4. Use the apps the Dev's gave us with the Beta ROM - I use the Elixir app regularly to check if the CPU and I/O activity levels have dropped down to near 0% for both. I check them after installing my ROM's, etc. (I also now use the Diagnosis app thanks to @oldtimer)
5. Remember the G tablet only has 512M DDR-2 RAM on board and was built to run with a 2.2 Froyo ROM, a cadged 2.6.32 kernel, and slow generic drivers. Google's minimum published specification for a system running Honeycomb or newer is a Nvidia Tegra-2 processor and 1G of RAM. So the challenge is to modify and tune the 2.6.39 kernel drivers and the ICS ROM to live within the available 512M RAM.
6. edit-no longer needed
7. Killing unnecessary apps sometimes frees up enough memory to stop the CPU and I/O churning. But I have to be careful which apps I kill using an app like Advanced Task Accelerator - it can shut down necessary services - although Android will usually restart them automatically (and kick up the CPU and I/O activity while doing so)
8. Remember that Google Apps come with a high overhead price - the standard Viewsonic set-up for the G tablet does not include GAPPs, and it runs very fast. The same for many other tablets that don't have a Tegra-2 and 1G of RAM. Game players might want to experiment with not loading GAPPs. In the past I've done this by downloading all the apps that I was interested in from GAPPs, then copying them all out to my PC using the "adb pull" command ("adb remount" to get in as root). Then I wipe and reload the ROM without GAPPs, and use "adb push" to put the apps in the right directories. Then on my G tablet, I find the apps using Root Explorer and "click" on them to install them.

How do I stop my tablet from downloading every app I have ever owned or used from the market when I log into my android account.
I suspect I am doing something wrong because the tablet is very laggy with ICS.
When you first install it will ask you if you want to use your backups, just uncheck that. Or you can let it sit for awhile, 30min to an hour, it sucks but once everything calms down its much better.
Android Keyboard
Good men of this forum,
It seems that with the new ICS rom, I am having issues with my android keyboard. If my tablet is vertical, I have the dialpad-looking keyboard with what seems to be Japanese characters on a few buttons. When my tablet is in the horizontal orientation, the keyboard disappears completely. I have searched the popular forums here and with Google. I'm terribly sorry if I have missed a tip somewhere.
I used the flashing procedure on the TeamDRH website to the letter, and I am no stranger to flashing custom ROMs to android devices. The keyboard continues to work beautifully under Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, as well as the earliest beta of ICS. I only seem to have an issue with this version of ICS.
I'm also getting frequent Google Apps errors about the services stopping. After signing in with my account, Market crashed and disappeared from my apps menu altogether.
It seems that I have a fairly unique problem. I'm a linux sysadmin and I'm very handy with the command line if you need dmesg or kernel output.
Thank you in advance.
I've heard a couple of people are having problems with the GApps, have you tried installing with the lite 7b GApps?
No Luck
Thanks for the reply!
I have tried both the full and lite versions of 7A and 7B for this ROM with no luck. When I perform a first-time boot of the tablet after a ROM and Gapps, the very first message I encounter is "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" for any version of Gapps, and it continues to pop up every several seconds that the tablet is in use.
I have also tried installing the ROM without Gapps at all and the keyboard is still nowhere to be found. Odd that the keyboard works in the first beta (1E), but this ICS (2B) is much faster than the old one
If anyone has a link to download the ICS Preview 2A instead of 2B I would be interested in trying it out, the links on TeamDRH's website all point to 2B now.
Other useful info: I know for certain that I am running the 1.2 bootloader and I'm using the newest Clockworkmod v5.5.0.4 Beta 15. I like to re-format before every flash to ensure a clean start.
Thats very odd it sounds like the download may have been corrupted. I've seen it happen a couple of people.
I still have 2A and some previous ones, kinda a catalog lol, just PM if you want to go that way.
I'm a newb
Thank you very much for the help you've provided me.
I tried downloading 2B a few more times with the same issue :/ so strange. Unfortunately for me, I am below the 10 post minimum to allow PMs. It's kind of ironic actually, I've been a member for years and always found my answers without having to ask because xda is wonderful about providing info
Thanks again.
Sent ya an email
simplyphp has a great writeup on an installation method you could try his way
SUCCESS!
Using the simplyphp method you referred me to, not only does the 2A ROM work, but the newest ROM and Gapps as well! I must admit that I'm a little embarrassed that I can't actually identify the original problem, but I believe it has something to do with my installation of Clockworkmod. I got it from a forum here that is trustworthy, but it didn't seem to work exactly as I needed it until I installed it with nvflash. I also had a strange problem with the first flash (out of the two that I am supposed to do) in that it wouldn't boot all the way into the TnT factory OS and was in an endless reboot. I simply turned it off, booted into APX mode once again, and continued with the listed steps and it worked flawlessly. I would thank simplyphp but I can't post on development threads yet!
So thank you and have a "Thanks!", I hope I've contributed to your wealth of knowledge on troubleshooting.
My work just purchased window 8 RT tablets for us. (ASUS TF600T). I tried to jailbreak the tablet using the tool on this site. when I run the tool, it asks me to push the volume down button, the tablet says it detected an error and needs to restart. Sorry, no error code. Id like to able to install some small programs, like keepass, end eventually even a full version of office if it becomes available. Anyone know why it keeps failing and what I can do to jailbreak this thing.
try posting the the windows 8 section of the forum, they probably have tutorials for jailbreaking windows rt

click thanks on the bottom part of the post if helped
Make sure it's got all of the updates installed. I have the same device - once all of the updates were installed on it, the worst I've found is that I have to wait for the system to settle (open Task Manager, wait until most of the usage is by Task Manager itself and not the system, about a minute) before the jailbreak will work, but then it works every time.
Most of the reason for failure that I've seen after startup looks to be because the kernel location that the jailbreak is tweaking isn't at the right location (which is why you need to be fully patched), though it will fail all the time if its done too soon after startup.

I did updates as soon as I took it out of the box. apparently it missed a couple, so I had to do It again. worked after all of the updates had been done. Unfortunately more research and it doesn't look like I'm ever going to be able to load access on this thing, which for my work makes it pretty much useless.
Hi
I have a samsung ativ tab.
I ended up downloading all the versions of the RT Jailbreak tool but still haven't succeeded to jailbreak windows RT on my Samsung Ativ Tab.
Any idea what could be the problem?
When I press volume down, it crashes and displays the blue screen with the REFERENCE_BY_POINTER error.
I installed all the updates, gave it about one to two minutes each time I ran it but still couldn't jailbreak.
any idea?

I can't get mine to go either. No matter how long I wait after boot. no matter how little resources are using the cpu/ram. I've tried different versions. I've tried different download links. but all I get is a registry key error and it saying I didn't wait the 2 minutes even if I waited 30 min. ASUS TF600T Win8.1 RT.
If ANYONE has any idea. I would greatly appreciate the help.
EDIT: Just realized the pics are blurry. The error syas "ERROR: The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value. Waiting for uptime to reach two minutes." (This was after waiting 10 minutes)

Turns out that front cam doesn't run by default. I fixed it along with some other things like youtube playback, play store etc. It's almost perfect now
Surface 2 Pro
Has someone tested these instructions on a Surface 2 Pro ? Working ?
Unfortunatly, I have a Surface 1 Pro and encounter the following error:
FATAL: ASERTION FAILED bootable/iago/plugins/gummiboot.c:gummiboot_execute:154 'efibootmgr' encountered an error (status 100)
Gummiboot the EFI bootmgr does not install. Maybe it would be possible to install it manually.
Secure Boot is disabled, and I also tried different USB sticks and the original unmodifed Android-IA image. No success.
Current progress: managed to boot into Android-IA using Refined, which itselfs loads Gummiboot.
However the overall stability of Android-IA on the Surface Pro is not good:
- Wifi most of the time does not work. Turning it on/off does not help. Neither does it help to disable power saving features. Maybe we could try a different driver
- Sometimes when the device is not used for about 2 minutes and goes black, it cannot be turned on again. I have to hold the power button to force a shutdown.

You need to use a USB hub, so that you can have you USB stick and USB keyboard attached simultaneously. This installation program does not recognize the Surface keyboard, but it does recognize a standard USB keyboard.
I, however am having a different problem. I get (almost) to the end of the whole process, after it says press enter to continue with the installation and does a bunch of stuff, but then give the following error:
FATAL: ASERTION FAILED bootable/iago/plugins/gummiboot.c:gummiboot_execute:154 'efibootmgr' encountered an error (status 100)
It was mentioned earlier in this thread, but no one seemed to shed any light on the subject. In other forums some have suggested that it was just an incompatible memory stick, but I have not tried multiple memory stick by different manufactures...
Others have suggested that you need to disable AHCI and instead run in IDE mode, but with the Surface Pro 2's woefully underwhelming BIOS, I haven't yet figured out how to disable AHCI. There's some that say that simply changing some registry keys will do the trick, but I haven't gotten that to work yet, and I don't have extremely high hope for it when I do.
Does anyone here have any thoughts about this error??? Anyone run into it who has successfully gotten it working after seeing this error? If so, how?
Thanks!

When you get this error, it means that efibootmgr is unable to create the boot entry but all the files are in fact in boot partition. I also received this error, but since I also had Ubuntu (well, you kind of also need Ubuntu to access Android partitions easily anyway) I used the efibootmgr in Ubuntu to manually create Android entry. This way, I'm able to select advanced boot options under Windows (created desktop shortcut) and switch to Android really easily. You should leave the Windows as default so that you might never need a keyboard attached for boot menu. If you don't want to install Ubuntu just to solve this error, you *might* get away with a live Ubuntu CD, however I never tried that.

Hi ozkaya, this sounds really promising, and I've even kind of gotten it installed, but it was going crazy (constant nonstop scrolling to select a boot mode as if I were holding down the arrow key; ended up being like Russian Roulette booting), so I decided to clean the slate and try again, the only problem is, I keep getting this error again... As a side note, I'm not overtly familiar with Ubuntu though I do have OSX successfully running on the Surface Pro 2, but I'm using a thumb drive to boot into it.
A few follow up questions:
-Are you saying that you use grub to boot into Android rather than gummiboot?
-Would you be willing to described "used the efibootmgr in Ubuntu to manually create Android entry" in more detail?
-How exactly to you select advanced boot options under Windows & create desktop shortcut?
*sorry if any of these questions are super basic. Back in the early XP days I was fairly savvy with dual/triple booting, but windows 8 and the Surface Pro's lackluster BIOS options are completely baffling me.

1- No I'm not using grub, in fact I also tried to daisy chain grub booting gummiboot booting Android and it doesn't work. I'm using native EFI entry.
2- I don't have it written up somewhere, I did it as I was reading and trying. But basically, you first need to install Ubuntu with dual boot with Windows. Have a look at the /boot partition, you will see the gummiboot files and config files there. Then research command line parameters for efimootmgr program and create the entry for the gummiboot file in /boot partition.
3- Just use google for this one, you can select advanced startup options somewhere from the settings in Windows 8 fancy menu. You can also create desktop shortcut for this. Once you completed Step 2, you will see Windows, Ubuntu and Android entries there. Since, Windows will be default, when you would like to switch to Android, you just double tap the shortcut and select Android. In Android you just power off and next restart will be Windows again. No keyboards, mouse etc needed. I also got the front cam and youtube playback working. Only bluetooth doesn't work.
Surface Pro 2
Anyone got this to work with Surface Pro 2? I am thinking of getting one, and if it could run android, im definitely getting one!
(I don't really see the point of getting Surface 1 when the 2 is out now)
I have followed the instructions and it installed fine, and then booted to android however as soon as I reboot I can no longer run android (or fastboot/recovery) without reinstalling it all over again from USB.
The error I get from gummiboot is:
HandleProtocol (DiskIoProtocol): Unsupported
Failed to start boot image 'Android': Unsupported
I would really appreciate some help from anyone who has a better understanding of this since I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem.
(I am using a 128gb Surface Pro 1/Original)
Thanks
when turning trusted platform module on and off it works sometimes

I'm having the same problem over and over .. still no luck
My Laptop is quiet old. The first time I installed Windows 10 on it it was fine, but now it takes at least 90 seconds to shut down and 90 seconds to boot up again. Restarting takes even a longer time, almost 4 minutes. I've tried disabling fast startup, turning High performance on, updating windows, debloating, Tron script, changing settings, virtual memory, startup. It still has a slow boot time, not only that, my clicks aren't as responsive as before. I can't do hardware upgrades because my parents will not pay money, and I don't know if it can be upgraded. Please help. If I try to install a new operating system every file that I have vanishes for some reason, I've tried it before. Should I install my additional antivirus? That's the only thing I haven't done in the solutions list of carbon copied YouTube tutorials. Can anyone help me? I'm quiet desperate this slow Laptop is sucking me out of my sanity, and the hardware requirements match Windows 10.
All OSes have it so that after a long time of use, updates and installing new applications over and over again, they just slow down.
For starters, try a few different online antivirus programs to help clean up your laptop, if they find anything.
If it's an SSD problem, though, do a diagnostic, preferably with your SSD manufacturer's dedicated program.
