First you have to flash this zimage
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=357141&d=1278649181
Do this by rebooting your phone into fastboot
adb reboot-bootloader
then,
fastboot flash zimage zImage
then reboot and follow the instructions on this tutorial and it will work like a charm
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-htc-evo-4g/
Thank vinny75 for compiling the zimage that makes this work for the evo
and thank the guy who wrote the tutorial for everything else..
thank me for nothing because i didnt do anything lol
EDIT: EVERYBODY JUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THIS LINK

Please, wrong section... I am begging you. The Q&A section is two clicks away.
Ubuntu hasn't been ported to the Evo. It is a highly involved process. You can't expect a ROM for the Nexus One to work on the Evo right? There are drivers to port, kernel modifications to be made. Lots of stuff have to happen first.
The website you pointed to mentions that he is working on a port anyhow. Wait for that to come out.

There is the Linux for android app in the market but it will only work with a loop file system which our kernels don't have or a specially partitioned SD card.

if loop file system is required and loop support isnt compiled into the stock kernel, i haven't checked this, but with the HTC source coded release last week, shouldn't be an issue to compile your own kernel adding in loop support or having a ROM/kernel dev add in loop support.
edit: if i remember right, its a simple option to check under file system in the make kernel config.

Why is it you repeatedly insist on trolling this "wrong section" bull**** on almost all the threads? It's not your job.
Toast will take care of it. bobdude5 isn't a new member and yet you treat him as such? His question obviously belongs in this section and even when you call him out on it... a Mod has already authorized him to post in section? I bet you feel dumb.
It seems to me, you have no idea where most questions belong, it's probably best you keep your mouth shut and let Toast worry about those who are posting in the wrong section -- it's not even that hard for a Mod to move certain questions to a different section.
Add your input, just don't be a troll.

Ok back on topic please.
Also I wanna add its most likely the kernel also. I can compile one for testing tonight if someone doesn't wanna help out and do it first. I think we also need to setup the evo on decordes Linux for HTC devices wiki. I'm at work so searching and linking isn't possible atm. I know he has a section for us there already. We can also gain from the wikis for similar devices there. Anyhow yeah let's not clutter thus thread with trash and let the development begin.

Now, obviously the directions are for the NEXUS ONE... and most likely won't work for the EVO, however this is good starting point to see what steps can be taken from the video and tweaked to make it work with our EVO's.
Good luck.
I am actually working on this
The problem with it is that the Evo 4G kernel needs to be compiled with support for loop devices. All Nexus One ROMs actually support this but Evo 4G doesn't.
The best way would be to ask those guys making the ROMs to compile the support for loop devices for future versions such as OMJ Roms.
Then could just use the same Nexus One script and would work.
In the meanwhile, I am learning to compile the kernel myself but perhaps you guys can ask the others to include support for loop devices on other ROMs.
Just need to enable CONFIG_DEV_BLK_LOOP=y in the kernel config and rebuild.
Seems to be working now, installing LXDE as I type this.
extract the attached zImage then boot into fastboot and "fastboot boot zImage" to test.
EDIT: VNC works.
Why not something more lightweight than ubuntu?

I own a Droid Eris as well as the G1. Developer punk.kaos over in the Eris forum has ported Sense/Froyo to the Eris. I believe he got it from the HTC Wildfire. It works, but its in the 'beta' stage right now. It has resolution issues as well as camera issues. I'm sure Kaos will get these sorted out soon. Check the Wildfire forums for it.

Rebuilt the package again, still having a soft brick. Its either the kernel or permissions. Im working with mad_fitter atm do see if I can work out the debug. I can say there is major differences between these two.
Probably because of the libraries. Also you need a gingerbread kernel. May try porting the vibrant cm7 kernel. That should solve your soft brick

You will have 999999x more luck trying to actually grab the Vibrant CM7 and porting it over.
What you're trying to do is put 2.3 into 2.2, while mixing AOSP with TouchWiz. That's a recipe for very bad things and lots of wasted time.
I agree with you. I have no clue on a port though. I've never attempted one.

Thats exactly what im doing I have the CM7 Vibrant source, I have edited the files needed for the mounts. Currently still getting a softbrick. Im trying a different GB source atm because its getting a kernel panic.

Pretty much noticed that as I dug into this more but I believe it will work with the correct kernel. I have moved to trying another GB source and will report back what comes about with it.
You tried even when it was figured out how to flash roms? Its a lil different now.
Im trying this on my daily driver so this is a little slow. I wish I had a extra to mess with . Anyways still the same issues even with the same mounts as posted in other threads. Still looking into the problem.
It shows a fix for the mounts and permissions though. Tried that yet?

From looking at the device state, a lot of the java isn't working out (obviously), and also look at line #06-10 21:29:28.208. This tells me that the file system (or parts of it) that your are using is for another device.
Specifically here: ALSALib device/samsung/GT-I9000/alsa-lib/src/control/setup.c:565:
I've never attempted a port with a samsung (hell I've only had mine a little over a week), But there is a thread in this dev section about porting vibrant roms to this device. Did you look over that? A lot of this seems to be related to what I read there.
I did follow that to a T and a few others. I dont think the device name is much of a issue atm. Its the permissions and vm not working correctly.
I also noticed alot of Data permission errors in adb as well as not being able to access anything with SU even with superuser installed and SU in the system as well. Hopefully someone can hop on board with this and help me figure this out.
Ya good call. I'm afraid that in this department I'm not much help. The errors are definitely a familiar one, but I can't think of an explanation except for permissions and java. Seems a lot of folks are having the same kind of issues.

That's because the Vibrant CM7 was ported from Galaxy S - aka I9000.
So you're trying to port a port. By the way, they have all but given up on porting CM7 to the Vibrant last I looked. I just sold my Vibrant about a week ago and I would flash the nightlies as new ones were released. Although they were getting close there were still major issues with them.
My advice... accept the fact that gingerbread will not happen on this phone. But if you're one of those who refuse to accept defeat... much luck in your endeavors! Because ginger love would be amazing.
That is not cm7 as stated earlier but it is a port from a vibrant and cm7 has a few problems mainly it looks like gps which has had issues on most of these Samsung phones.
If someone knows more on the problem please post it so i can.correct them.

I picked up a WIND Samsung Galaxy S 4G today. I looked in the Android Dev thread here and I don't see anything specifically for this phone.
The model number is T-959W so I don't want to try anything with hacks/roms etc meant for the T-Mobile version.
I'd be happy to supply a dump of my phone for any devs who want to play around and help us here in the great white north!
Thanks
System dump would be nice if you can provide it. I'd advice against installing any mods you found here. Good thing you're cautious
Great, thanks! I have never done a dump before so I'll have to look into how to do it. I will let you know when I do.
I see it has 8 gig internal, we only got 2 there's a tutorial somewhere for system dumps, let me find you the link.
You need to be rooted I believe.

I have heard that there may be an update in August. It may be prudent to wait for this update before capturing a ROM image, in case important fixes are made.
I guess a good question would be whether anyone has had any experience flashing T-Mobile SGH-959v ROMs on to this device.
Another avenue could be to ask someone inside Samsung whether they changed much between models.

You really shouldn't flash roms not made for your phone. If they contain bootloaders, you could brick your phone.
Hey T959W people. Looked at the source and things are looking pretty close. I'm not saying to run off and flash our stuff, but I need some info and someone with the big kahunas to try flashing some stuff.
Please be running linux. I can't help you with windows problems.
It would also be helpful if you have a usb download mode jig.
You can get one here:

Ok Canadians! I've verified that the SGH-T959W should be exactly the same as the SGH-T959V.
There were some interesting differences between our T959V and T959W that may fix some bugs for us on T959V.
With that said, please... please... please, read all of the instructions for flashing ROMs and Kernels very carefully!
If the rom contains bootloaders, please DO NOT flash them until we can confirm there are no bootloader differences.
Like I said before, it is very common to soft brick your device. It is not the end, and do not worry if you do this. Make sure you get yourself a usb download mode jig here:

I managed to get my Wind SGH-T959W rooted and up and running with a unofficial CM9 build, but it took a bit of work.
Firstly, I tried just about every one-click solution out there, to no avail. It's possible SOC 1.7 with rattlethecage works, but I didn't have the patience to find out whether I simply had to wait a bit longer.
I followed this guide(whilst clenching every clenchable muscle I could consciously control):
http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/o...mission-t-mobile-galaxy-s-4g-gingerbread.html
The gist is, Odin 1.7, stock+voodoo for T959V, plus some update that I'm not qualified to describe. That should get you rooted and if that's all you're looking for, you'll have to suffer through a little T-Mobile branding on startup.
Once you got it all rooted, you'd think it'd be a good idea to toss sgs-ics on there, right? Well, no. After installing the 4G variant, it promptly set off into a boot loop which I'm again, unqualified to diagnose. The obvious solution was to try another team's version of ICS, which I indeed found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
Barring some missing features, it sounds like a good alternative to sgs-ics. Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.
So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.
Thanks folks, and enjoy!
PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.

Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.

We can fix that by adding your OTA Assert to our build. Then this won't happen. Let me fix that.
Thanks for someone finally reporting something useful!

So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.
Thanks folks, and enjoy!
PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.

No pm needed.
Open an account on mediafire.com.
Upload the tarball
click share after the tarball is up
Post your own topic in the general forum so everyone knows where to get it.
Everyone Profits!
One more thing that would be very handy from somone with stock on T959W.
Please:
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
edit the file with notepad++(windows), textedit(macosx), or gedit(linux) and put the results on pastebin.com.
Then paste the link in this forum.
THANKS!
Build.prop for stock phone

I've been slowly working on a JB Sense 4x project for fun. as I learn I go back and make changes here and there hoping that maybe, just maybe, one day it'll boot. As I was working on it yesterday I realized that with my Shift not working there will not be anyway for me to test it so I thought I would ask if anyone is interested in helping. It is a port from the One X. I haven't asked for permission from the original dev to release anything publicly yet (because I don't know if it'll work) so I'll have to pm links for now. Where I am at with this at the moment is the updater script. I've been through the rest of the ROM and think I have a good start but I haven't done anything in the META-INF folder. I am still reading up on how to write my own updater script but I'm not capable yet so those who want to help, this is my immediate need. It would be good for folks to go through the build.prop also. I'm still a little unsure about the changes necessary to go from a GSM ROM to CDMA.
Edit: I probably should have put this in General instead of Q&A. Sorry...

The problem will continue to be that we don't have a kernel for Sense 4.0, it won't work till we have one... but thanks for putting in the work... do you have your OG yet?
Ive modified Strapped365's new kernel and think it'll work. Ive gotten a port from the One V to boot before with the mod I made.

Go for it man, I'm kinda busy with three other projects lol. And a new phone coming today, I doubt I'll get around to it any time soon.
I'll test whenever you need a tester.

If I can find a cheap shift on ebay I'll try and get it for you.
Im eyeying one for 5.50 right now.
and a few others for less than that. :good:
Wow guys that's great. I don't know what's wrong with my shift now. The flexcable was torn almost in half. I'm thinking I may have somehow broken something else putting the new one in. It's got me pretty bummed.
