[Q] Ubuntu on mt4gs ? - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

Hello,
Do you have a job how to install ubuntu on mt4gs ?
I searched the internet but I get errors during installation :-(

You're being serious aren't you?
This phone just got S-OFF, its too early for custom ROM's, and you're asking for an entirely different OS? LOL XD
And out of curiosity, how are you even attempting to install it, and what errors are you receiving?
Can these CPU's even work with x86 OS's?

Thank you for your response (it is not a simple yet aurra enough;-))
I use the methods is called "For all android phone" ^^ with Chr00t...

[DEV] PSFreedom Port

As some of you probably know, the ps3 has recently been hacked, allowing us to run unsigned code. The source code for the exploit leaked and a dev called KaKaRoTo managed to get it to run from a Nokia N900. The other day, KaKaRoTo released his source code and someone already ported it to the Palm Pre. This quick port was possible because the N900 and Palm Pre both share the same USB controller(mUSB) which happens to be the controller used by the Droid/Milestone.
This has already been posted in the droid section, but I figured I would post this in here. Maybe some of you guys can get this working on our milestones!
thanks nicholasbgr for writing this up.
This doesn't look too hard to do either. We shouldn't need to do too many alterations to get it working on the milestone.
Here is what we apparently need to do to port it from the nokia.
Well, first, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’.. (Luckily we have he same controller!)
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL speed isn’t available .
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it…
That should be enough!

Thanks and good luck to anyone who gives this a try!
No devs with a PS3 here?
Just saw this, and I'm actually pretty interested in this, but what I know about programming can't really help you. Really interested in this though, so I will be following this
I have to ask though, is it not possible to have a universal Android implementation? What are the technical reasons?

No, we won't be seeing a univeral version, as phones have different types of usb controllers (we have mUSB, the same kind used in the pre and n900, giving us the best chance of a quick and easy port) Most HTC phones have a MSM72K controller, and the guys in the desire forum are pretty close to getting it running.

Sorry if I appear a little "uninformed" (), but I just wanted to check something here quick. If we port this hack correctly, does this enable us to run an unsigned bootloader, essentially relieving the minds of millions of Milestone users?
If so, I'm going to take a spin at porting it over - however, I'm sure someone will get it before I do, no doubt.

according to zzg in the desire forum, this is what you need to do. no source changes.
Well you don't really need any changes to get it compiled against Droid's kernel, a quick and dirty way by looking at psfreedom's make file:
make -C /path/to/droid/kernel/source M=/path/to/psfreedom/source ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android_ndk/tree/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DENABLE_MUSB_CONTROLLER modules

just substitute the droid kernel source for the milestones. You can get it from motorola.

Current Compatibility List
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=Device_compatibility_list
Quick question though, looking at something like this: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenDesire4.0.4
To enable:
reboot to recovery
flash enable psFreedom
reboot back to Open Desire
It seems we would have to flash a different kernel to get this to work via the recovery screen. However I thought due to the locked bootloader on the milestone even after porting it the phone wont boot because of that.
Is the locked bootloader preventing us from booting into Android? or is it booting all together?

i think the desire is totally different than the milestone because it uses other drivers. with the n900 there wasnt any flashing involved. the milestone uses the same drivers as the n900 so lets hope we can use this

You'll wanna learn Java, specifically, Object Oriented Programming. Stick to one of the more popular Linux distributions since it'll be easier to get your computer set up and deal with driver problems and the like. For now, maybe Ubuntu would be your best choice.

[Mod]Boot without rom installation, can someone do this mod?

Thinking wild,
like in linux we can have live cd & boot from a live cd is it possible to make the android rom compatible for booting from internal or external sd card without installation?
This way we can test different roms without messing up the installed rom, the latest such implementation was done in 2009 for canon 5D camera & later for many other cameras having magic lantern firmware to boot from CF/SD card without messing up the firmware.
Any developer willing to look into this?
There are already such a thing called boot manager. It support multi-ROM installing. But only for HTC devices, even not Samsung I9000.

Idea is fantastic. It looks like 'preview of rom' just like 'theme preview' in nokia. But practically its impossible. U can use emulator to run rom on computer.

Yes kind of dual boot like on my windows machine I still can boot into linux from the live cd, it will be ideal if android roms can be made to work like that but I am no developer & don't even know how this can be done hence inviting all genius rom developers to look into this possibility.
Developers will get a lot more feedback from users since then we could test roms (nightly build) as & when required without installation & messing up the stock rom.
Great idea, but very difficult to achieve. But i'm very positive that with the presence of some great devs we have here one day we can achieve such feat.
This is a good way of eliminating having to flash new ROM on our devices.

Can we do this on i9003 as well? We're talking about samsung phones, the method has been ported to a galaxy s2... and dual boot might be useful for debugging alpha mods!
Is it possible? Or i9003 and Samsung Galaxy s2 are completely different phones?

Really? This is important for people who need a working phone but would like to try out (and maybe help) new roms. Here's why.
You have dual boot: you start the phone in the morning with Samsung's stock where everything works just fine. Then when you have time you switch back to a rom, go offline and try whatever you want. When you really need the phone you boot back to stock.
This would be helpful. I was thinking about how to port this, I know about chroot, but we need to start another kernel's image too. Maybe a script run on CWM recovery which changes boot img path and a modified kernel which sees his own as his legitimate partition? If we had grub this would be easy. I know linux tricks but I am not pratical with Android.
Galaxy 3 thread has a kernel called g3mod kernel, it supports multibiot, meaning placing the system.img in the kernel's folder, thus allowing you to multiboot, and keeping your data there.
Edit: if you search ard in the galaxy 3 dev thread, there is also a kernel called dual boot.

If you want to help, you're welcome, otherwise, just get away. As you said: this is the developer's section.
I'm afraid chroot is not enough. What needs to be done is to boot a different kernel. Chrooted OSs rely on your own kernel.

[Q]Help getting started with ROM developement

Hi, I am interested in starting some custom ROM work for our device. I am just looking for a little bit of direction on where to start. I understand things are a bit more complicated with our locked bootloader, but I know there is still a lot to be done. What are some good places to start tweaking performance? How about graphics and theming? if there is anything else I should know that would be great. I am not an extremely experienced programmer, but I have some experience and I am fairly comfortable tweaking system stuff. Lastly, Is there any way to get an emulater going for the A2? this would be very helpful for development to save the pain of boot loops and errors on our real device. thanks for everyone's help! Hopefully our development will take off for this phone once we get the bootloader bypass working or get it fully unlocked.

FROST (Forensic Recovery Of Scrambled Telephones)

Hey guys,
After having nearly lost all my data because android would not recognize my Decryption password I would like to try to compile frost.
I don't know if it will work for the HTC one but I really want to give it a try to help out other people who might have to factory reset due to encrytion problems.
It looks fairly simple to compile it, only I have never compiled any kernel .img before.
Before I actually try to compile it I would like to get advice on how best to do it and what to avoid while compilling.
Again I really want to get this compiled for the HTC one as this had me in a really bad spot.
https://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/frost
I know there are some questions in here but I really do want to get it compiled for you guys in this thread to have a way of possibly recovering encrypted data.
Anyone else up for the challange?

lol, just have seen this.
The link to the University of Erlangen has some pretty neat resources, but I currently have no android phone to try making such a recovery image for.
For the case of (hopefully) your own phone you are trying to get the /data back: This software relies on the device having been unlocked not long ago. If the device was not unlocked for a week or so, you have no real chance of the keys being still in ram.
If you have a weak PIN, its bruteforce feature might work, if you have a strong one it may take very long. I'd recommend you to make a bit level image of the /data partition just in case (type man dd in your commandline in linux, the dd tool should also be in phone recoveries). And possibly try to encrypt it on your desktop that propably gets it done faster. Also you do not need to make a device specific recovery and you dont need to cross compile.
Also this: http://www1.cs.fau.de/filepool/projects/frost/frost.crackpin.tgz
might just work. Read through the README file in the archive, its straightforward.
thx good thing to konw
There's a reason they freeze the phone. If you hope to recover the keys from a phone that is powered off for anything like 5 mins or more forget it :/ . (The time really depends on the memory chips)

Hey the project is being worked on however it is going slower that expected due to alot of personal issue's.
I hope to have everything resolved ASAP so I can devote my self to FROST

Will FROST be able to recover deleted files from the phones internal storage? I'll send strength your way so that you'll get your life to awesomeness again.
FROST only works if your bootloader is unlocked. Since unlocking your bootloader wipes data you're screwed (unless there's some hack to prevent this for your device bootloader). Image the phone or copy the encryption header and try to brute force/dictionary attack your own password key as much as you want without worrying about data being wiped. Download Kali Linux live CD maybe it has some Android forensics tools I think it does. If not google around for 'android brute force encryption' somebody will have tools to do this.
