Since msullivan's guide is generalized for all devices I thought I would tailor one specific for our Evo's.
I take no credit for any of this except for what is my own personal experience. 99% of the following has been taken from the original thread HERE
I have not tested this on an AOSP rom nor gingerbread for that matter. If anyone has confirmed it working I will add to the list. Supposedly CM7 cannot find the image file, if that's the case the resolve should be: In Android the "real" location is often /mnt/sdcard, and then the /sdcard mountpoint is added for simplicity. So yeah, my guess would be that Cyanogen doesn't have the /sdcard mount. You can fix your issue by opening the file "bt" in a Unix-compatible text editor (such as Notepad++, or an editor on the phone itself), and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/sdcard".
Working so far:
Froyo Sense (MynsWarmTPTRls5)
Evo Deck (gingerbread) 1.2f
CM7 (gingerbread) Thanks DoManOfFuture
WARNING: THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART
UPDATE: My goal was to create a version of BackTrack 5 for ARM that was easy to use and install. As of this time, that IS NOT the case! The versions posted here are **probably not** going to work straight out of the box. If you know what you are doing in a Linux environment, you'll probably be able to get it working.
Because of this, the project is currently completely unsupported. You are free to dive in, but you are doing so with no support for me, and I'm not liable for any damage that might be done to your device's ROM.
I encourage you to pass this up unless you know what you are getting yourself into!
If you were referred here from the XDA-Developers.com article...
Hi there! Let's get one thing on the record here... this is *not* a native client! This is the chroot + VNC method that we'd been using to get Ubuntu running with Android for a while. The article makes it sound like that's the case, but sadly it's not. However, with the chroot + VNC method we can really run BackTrack 5 on an Android device, and it really does work. This takes some technical skills, and isn't for the non-Linux experienced user.
Requires a rooted device!
BackTrack 5 installation guides are making their way around this forum. I've tried to synthesize it all, but I've also added my own touches to help with usability and features, along with a workaround for the "ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed" error message some people have been getting.
In theory this build is nearly universal, so if you have an Android device it should work. I've put it all in one zip file that you can download directly from my website, no hassles or wait timers.
If you are interested have a look, feel free to re-post. Credit goes to the BackTrack team and xda member anantshri (he's got skills, give him props guys), who built the base image file.
If you like what you see help me out, hosting is expensive!

Instructions:
BusyBox-
First things first you'll want some of the prerequisites one being Busybox. I'm currently running Myn's Rls5 Rom. All I had to do was go to the market and install "BusyBox Installer." Open that and install the latest version

Terminal Emulator-
If you do not have one go to the market and install "Android Terminal Emulator"
VNC-
You'll also need a VNC client. Go to the market and find a suitable VNC Client. "android-vnc-viewer" is a good one.
Starting Backtrack5-
After you have the zip downloaded you'll want to unzip it and place the "bt5" folder on the root of your SD Card.
-Next open your terminal emulator and type “su” <enter>, “cd /sdcard/bt5″ <enter>
-Now enter “sh bt” <enter> (in the future to start BT5 skip the line above and come straight to this command)
-enter "y" when it asks you if you want to start with VNCserver.
Note: I had already ran this before which is why your screen may look different
-Now all you need to do is open your VNC client and connect with the following info:
127.0.0.1:5901 pw: root
When you are finished go back to terminal emulator and type "exit"

I'm running CM7, and am a very competent linux user so I'll give this a shot. I'll post back with the results. Doesn't seem complicated, well getting it running at least, maybe the build process was, but I'll get back with the results none the less.
Update: Works like a charm.
Updated compatibility list. If anyone is running a different rom and these instructions worked for you let me know so I can add it in. Thanks!
Just thought I'd mention, using your guide, this is running perfectly on my Nexus S running 2.3.4 (rooted, deodexed and zipaligned). I have the UI up in the VNC viewer and also can SSH in from my mac too.
Running BT5 on a Nexus S (9023i) with CM7 nightly 88 no problem. It is not very quick, but hey, it works.
Install was not to difficult at all, just download, unzip, run "sh bt", and connect with VNC
so i got it to work on ava-z3 but when in backtrack i tried to run console commands and it didn't work maybe i did something wrong or its just not supported for the phone may be someone can help if they can i was trying to crack my own wep and i have done it many times on my computer but when i tried it on the phone it didn't even recognized basic commands i get it you can run backtrack 5 but what are you able to do with your phone can annyone explain and advice me ?
*rubbing hands together* downloading now. Hope it works on the n1
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Just so you guys know you cannot crack WEP with this. This method CANNOT have direct access to your wifi card therefore it cannot support a lot of the methods used to crack, etc..
This is backtrack5 running on top of your android rom.
Just thought I'd make that clear to those thinking they have a mobile cracking OS That's what netbooks are for lol!

I have everything from Google Downloaded, and the ADT setup.
I am trying to setup the Android Projects to point to the SDK that I have downloaded. I have gone into Window > Prefences > Android > and pointed the SDK to C:\AndroidSDK\
But when I hit OK and Apply I DONT GET ANY FLIPPING SDK VERSIONS!!!
I am sure that it is something simple that I am missing, but can someone maybe provide any help my direction?

Have you actually downloaded the sdk(s) and not just the tools?
You need to run SDK Setup.exe in your sdk directory and pick which platforms and API's you want to install.
HAHA!!
I ran that setup like 6 times and not once did I pay attention to what the error message said until you said something about installing it!
Yeah I had to force HTTPS. We shall see what happens in the next 2 or 3 minutes and I will reply.

X2 for this.
My favorite way to check my installed Java SDK versions is to check the registry. Since using java -version at the command line only tells you the one you're currently pointing to, it can be a little confusing figuring it out that way.
Just go to regedit --> HKLM --> Software --> Javasoft --> Java Development Kit

The main thing you will find if you get in to deeper dev stuff like the kernel is that any utilities you want require linux or mac os. If you are only planning on making apps then you will be fine in windows.

I agree, the plus side to developing in an IDE is that, save for the deeper diving stuff from a kernel standpoint, that developing in the IDE should make it as seamless as possible between environments. I'd personally do it in Windows until you get to a point where you think you need something from Linux (Linux FTW) and then either just run an Ubuntu box for a bit, or boot into a USB/Extra HDD based persistent Ubuntu installation where you can do the one-off stuff that comes up.
Or you can go to the darkside and abandon Windows altogether. MUAAHAAAHAA.
*GASP* Abandon Windows!?!?!?!?! HOW COULD YOU!...
A little over dramatic??
I like linux just as well, but I am lazy, linux is for someone willing to take an extra step
Or there's always running ubuntu in vmware if you don't want to make the switch.

So I'm running CM7...
sh debian.sh seemed to complete just fine. (I even went step by step to confirm since there's a 'clear' in there).
but...
sh debdroid gives me:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Do I see gentoo around ther corner?

easy1600, from the way your output is, it looks like you're not in a bash shell, but just the su sh shell. exec the command bash then exec debdroid. Thank you for trying it out.
As for Gentoo, I've been using Debian for years and never messed about too much in other distros other than arch. Though if you can get an ARM Gentoo img this method can be tweaked to work with any ARM img really.
Update: Here's a WIP of the Debtop software which will allow basically the same functionality of the Motorola Atrix Webtop software.

OP: What is the simplest way to copy a .cap file from debian to anywhere I can access it from my laptop? If I can just get it to android /sdcard/ I'm golden. Or if I can just send it anywhere that I can reach it...
Well, you can utilize the unionfs script which is supposed to mount the sdcard and debdroid or you can open up a file manager on your phone like astro and nav to /data/local/debian while debdroid is running.
The problem i am having is that when I type Bash im getting "bash: not found"

My /data/ directory is empty (debian is running). Unionft script doesn't seem to work at all.
I got it done by running /sbin/sshd and using winscp though. Thanks, I got lots to play with now!
I have tried numerous times to get it to flash to my phone. Thankfully I don't need it yet but as of now I have no backup plan if I ever had to return to stock. The best I have got is "Failed to detect compatible device."
If someone would be kind enough to, at the least, give me a checklist or links to what all I need to get this thing running I'd really appreciate it.
Running Mac OS X Lion if it helps.
i dont know about the mac version but there should be a readme in there for installation. also i think the mac needs codeless kext installed. should be outlined in the readme but couldnt tell you for sure.
I followed the instructions as best as I could understand. The UI pops up but refuses to flash or even recognize my phone.

Since you have a mac it would be a lot easier for you to flash a
clockworkmod type custom rom.
You must have clockworkmod recovery to be able to do this.
If you are running stock rom and already have clockworkmod
recovery in your phone then then you can BACKUP your stock
rom with clockworkmod and then flash a new custom rom
as long as its a clockworkmod rom zipfile.
Most all of these custom roms you see here on xda are all
clockworkmod types (zipfiles) which do NOT need ODIN
or Heimdall at all.
But you do need to have a usb card reader if your your
computer is not reconizing your samsung phone as an external
USB drive.
If your Mac computer does reconize your phone as a external
USB device then you do not need to remove the microSD card
and you do not need a card reader.
I am sure you know how to use a usb card reader so I will not
go into that now.
Here is the link to the most popular custom rom for Infuse
which is the type you need. (clockworkmod flash)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195571
Follow the easy step by step instructions to a "T" if you
don't want to start all over and have to do it again.

You are already on a rooted rom. Just get sgs lernel flasher and flash a "rainbow fix kernel." But id try to get heimdall working. it is super easy on linux. I love the debian package system.
If it doesnt see the device it sounds like an issue with that "codeless kext" which is described as being like a driver. that is unless samsung dropped the ball on the boot loaders again. the bootloaders in the odin oneclick packages for the galaxy s would prevent the device from being visable on a mac in download mode. later versions had this fixed. if i had a mac id help. i think the mac is a great system but i just dont know enough about your problem.
there is always the bootcamp or virtual machine options. if you need windows maybe i can help out if you pm me. or yu can do a quick install of mint or ubuntu which is not only more similar to mac than windows but with no need for drivers and the debian packages is easier to install heimdall on than odin is in windows.
or maybe you can contact the developers of heimdall.

what version of heimdall did you download? i ask because it seems 1.3 wants a firmware.xml file that specifies compatible devices, could be an issue of it looking for that file. i still use v1.1.1, i just updated to 1.3 but dislike it and am going back, will see if 1.2 is compatable with the 1.1.1 frontend because it doesnt appear to have a frontend package.
edit:
yes v1.2.0 comandline seems to work with 1.1.1 frontend, install 1.1.1 and then you may upgrade to 1.2 (atleast that's how it works under linux)
Ok so I can use VMWare to load another OS on my Mac.
Any recommended distros to use this Debian package? So many flavors of Linux.
Lastly, can you please link me to past versions of Heimdall? I can only find the most recent.

most use ubuntu. debian packages but there own repositories that are less likely to provide unstable updates to break your system.
You can do this VERY EASY! but I'll recommend that you first install Launcher Pro or ADW (you can sync the app using the BlueStacks Android app) then set as your default home. Once you have done that you can open Launcher Pro trough the gadget at any time.
Then open Eclipse go to your "Device Manage" tab and under "Android Remote Device" add a new entry like this:
Name: (whatever you want to name it)
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
And you are done! BlueStacks is WAYYYYYYYYYY faster to lunch apps that the regular android emulator. I did a small app for testing/debug and it installed/lunch/debug just fine on BlueStacks.
I cant for the life of me find the device manager could you explain how to get it to appear?

On the Eclipse menu go to:
- "Window", "Show View", "Other..."
- Then type on the entry text box "Device". It should show under the "Sequoyah" folder.
Today I notice that it automatically added "localhost:5555" under "Android Remote Device" next to my manually added entry and the Eclipse DDMS Console was giving me some errors. I restarted BlueStacks and everything seems to be ok now (the automatic added entry is gone now and no more errors too). Lucky that a BlueStacks restart is SUPER fast!

I don't found Device Manager in Android Remote Device in Eclipse, anyone can help me some guides ?
Hi,
how do you install your homemade app for testing/debugging (need official certificate) ? Your bluestacks player seems to be windowed ? how do you make that ? thanks...
Hello!
I'm an artist on an Android project and have very little knowledge on the technical side of things.
Any chance you could expand this how-to a bit more in-depth, as I have trouble even finding "Device Manager" and don't know what Launcher Pro and ADW do and where to find them.
I'd really appreciate it!
It really works! Great! Thanks.
I struggled over this for an hour, because I could not see Device Manager tab in Eclipse. So i downloaded MotoDev Studio (It is SDK + Eclipse + all plugins needed) and now i run bluestack smoothly
More precise way to do this:
1. Download and install BlueStack
2. Download and install MotoDev Studio (Its free)
3. Download Launcher pro or ADW launcher .apk
4. Right click on the .apk, select "open with", "Browse"
go to C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueStacks (for 64bit system)
or
go to C:\Program Files\BlueStacks (for 32bit system)
and select HD-ApkHandler.exe
Launcher should be installed after a moment.
5. Open MotoDev
6. select Device Managment tab
7. Right click on Android Remote Device and click New...
8. Name it like you want, for example "BlueStack"
9. fill Host and Port boxes with
Host: 127.0.0.1
Port: 5555
10. Click OK
Now everything should work. You can close MotoDev and try to open BlueStack and then select Launcher. Now bluestack is fast as native android device and games run smooth Thx to riveraju
Must come back here when I have time to read lol thanks a lot for this man. I installed the ask last June and still haven't gotten the emulator to work XD

Is this still a working method? I'm using a Mac and have just downloaded Bluestacks but I can't even connect to it through adb nor it shows up under my device list.
Any other method to debug my app through Bluestacks with a Mac?
Do you Any tricks to emulate system apps?
Sent from my Nokia 3210 using xda app-developers app
Hey guys,
so I installed BlueStacks as I already had Eclipse installed and "kinda" followed the guides to this method.
I start Bluestacks player and then I start eclipse and look at the device tab and see this after opening Blood Brothers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lja2rj4wziycsgq/eclipse.png
Many players say that it should be faster after doing this but I see no difference to playing without Eclipse. Am I missing something, a command or something? Or is that all there is, Eclipse is now connected and running with Bluestacks?
fios
Good stuff, it sped it up just barely to handle the verizon fios mobile tv app. now i can watch live tv on my laptop
is there an alternative to this like regitry hack? I mean I have to download Eclipse or MotoDev which is around 200 mb of size just to put this trick?

I'm jealous of you. After logging in I get a back screen only. What's the secret?
Thanks
Instead of searching for device management tab you can simply enter
adb connect 127.0.0.1
after starting bluestacks...
bluestacks certificates
Have you managed to install new certificates on Bluestacks ? Seems to me like Security/Credential Storage menu is completely missing as well as other features. I understand that this is just an emulator but we need many other features for development.

Does this make Bluestacks as fast as a normal android phone ? Without slowdowns ?

Lilstevie's Thread - Ubuntu Filesystem(Ubuntu.img)
oh my god!you released this,the same vday that i try to put ubuntu on transwformer....i have windows and this,is a big news!hi have a question--ubuntu.img that is HERE...is ok?i put it in main folder?and system.img,you mean the system.img of a nvflashable rom like prime or revolver and i should put it also in main folder?
Hi there,
Sounds like a great tool and im very interested. Can you dual boot with ubuntu and the current rom?
Does it replace CWM ?
Is thereanything to prepare, before installing etc?
I was also wondering if this just completely wipes the tablet and puts only ubuntu or whether it can dual boot. Dual boot would be awesome.
Sorry should of been clearer it uses prime and it is dualboot. Ubuntu is primary. The ubuntu img is from lilstevies thread. Ill update the original post with links.
Can you make an option so that prime is the default and android is secondary?
Where do I get the .imgs? Could've at least linked to them.
The system.img file is a nvflashable rom like prime. The ubuntu img is from lilstevie's thread "Ubuntu on the Transformer". As for the Dual-boot with android as default it will be on my next release. Its a long story on this release. I had alot of options for this release, but it would take alot longer to get it all finished. So i released this mini-version just to let people play around with a little bit. My next version with have a bunch of options along with a GUI interface for ADB and NVFlash.
So will this only work on devices with SBK1?
Correct. As of right now it is on SBK1

So it probably won't be possible on an SBK2 device until it is cracked?
This is exactly what i been waiting on gonna try this asap, thanks boss!
Edit: I just hook the transformer up to computer in nvflash mode and click intall?
Sent from my Revolver Powered Asus Transformer
As of right now sbk2 devices does not work with this install method.
Anyone that has used the tool i would like some input if its working for you or if you are having any problems with it.
I need SBK2 cracked lol
Hmm looks like mine is an sbk3
What would have happened if i had tried to flash this ?
hmm maybe i've been out of the loop for the past few month but what is SBK1/2/3 ?
also, i'm already running revolver, would rather keep this intead of prime... is there anyway of installing this without loosing all the data on my revolver install and keeping revolver?
i wait your next release,with android how primary OS.....
So, what if we did a nandroid on our current rom and pulled the system.img from the backup, would that work?

where does this SBKv3 come from? I have not heard of devices with yet another SBK, unless of course you are referring to the SL101 or TF101G, but those devices wouldn't be SBKv3, they would be SBKv1 for those devices, the nonclementure for the SBKs are TF101 SBKv1 (The currently known key) and SBKv2, the definition of them is relative to the device itself, as that is key v1 and key v2 for the TF101
sorry i might be wrong. I did a search and found a thread that said it could be sbk3 ...
