It's a very noob question, I know. But i didnt figure out how to acess my tf101 on my linux by the way of usb.
I have a dual boot pc, but most of the time i use ubuntu, but i don't know how to connect it to ubuntu and set up adb. (I have adb on windows). And with this NVflash thing for B70+ devices popping out i have to learn how to mount the tf on ubuntu
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
install android sdk on ubuntu and follow instructions to set a PATH var to adb.

I downloaded the uber files tonight to root my HTC Thunderbolt. However, when I moved onto the second step using ADB, I've hit a bit of a snag.
While I am seeing the device listed under devices, it's telling me it's offline. This despite the fact I can copy files to and from the microSD card, as well as internal memory. Below is what I see at my terminal:
[email protected]:~/Desktop/ThunderRoot/downgrade$ adb devices
List of devices attached
HT14DS015334 offline
I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 32bit version. At this point, I'm guessing it has something to do with the HTC drivers since I didn't install HTC Sync (there is no version in linux, right??)
Anyone on here use linux with their Thundebolt? If so, are you connecting it via ADB??
Thanks,
Robert
I use 10.04 64bit and 11.04 64bit all the time with ADB. You don't need drivers with Ubuntu.
offline means it sees it but it's not connected. try replugging it in and/or kill the adb server and restart it.
as stated above, you do not need drivers for Ubuntu.
try adb kill-server
then adb start-server
you might also need to start the server as root.
UGH!! Turns out the problem was debug mode on the phone. Or rather the fact it WASN'T in debug mode!!!
Enable/Disable USB Debugging Mode - HTC Thunderbolt ADR6400
Once I changed that it showed up as device!!!

what kernel are you using?
http://www.linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcuniversal/images/Qtopia/ . Here is haret with zimage in one .exe, and start from loopback partition. I found tutorial on polish forum: http://pdaclub.pl/forum/universal/linux-na-universalu-czyli-jak-si281-uwolni263-od-ms/ . Now I'm trying with usb network, but on screen is only USB reset
I've been looking around for some good tutorials, but in my opinion, almost everything was pretty difficult to understand for me.
But finally I found out how things are working (except of wifi, can You help me?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295718)
So I want to share my knowledge with You all and try to make it easy to understand.
1. The ony way in the moment to install Ubuntu on Your Transformer is over a Ubuntu or other Linux PC. (I easily installed Ubuntu virtually in VMware Workstation)
2. Get the required files on Your Linux machine:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141
On this link, in the second post is written flash kit for linux:
klick on "here" to download the flash kit.
3. Extract the flash kit into a folder (e.g. Desktop)
4. Now download the Ubuntu root files. They are located here:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?1072-ubuntu-on-the-transformer
You have to scroll a bit down then You see
"ubuntu-rootfs:
is available here md5sum(95eda389e64461533c51fd1e4e237a30)"
Again, click on "here" to download the rootfiles. (It'll take a while, since the file is 950mb)
4. Once this is done, extract the rootfiles into linux-flash-kit/images. (This folder is the one You have extracted in 3.
5. When You want to Dual-Boot Your device with Andoid AND Ubuntu, read on, otherwise go to point 6.
You have to download a nvflashable rom like for example "PRIME!"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251044
There You download the NVflash version and extract the image files in it, to linux-flash-kit/images, like You have done it with the ubuntu image file.
6. Now You have to choose.
If You want only linux: remember flash-purelinux.sh
If You want linux and Android Dual-Booting with Android as default OS:
flash-linux-android.sh
If You want linux and Android Dual-Booting with Linux as default OS:
flash-linux.sh
If You want to restore back to android: flash-android.sh
If You want to get to factory state: restore-default.sh
Now You have to install the APX drivers. How to do this, You can read in other threads. Basically download the NVflash file from this thread, in it, You'll find the drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429
So connect Your tablet to Your PC, turn it off, and turn it on while holding down the Power Button and the Volume+ button.
What You'll see is nothing. Now Your device is in APX mode.
In Your Linux Computer, open up the console and go to the linux-flash-kit directory (In my case it is on the Desktop)
so I do:
cd Desktop\linux-flash-kit
So now You are in Your linux-flash-kit directory. From here You have to type:
sudo sh flash-linux-android.sh
OR You type this in what You have remembered in Point 6.
e.g.
sudo sh flash-purelinux.sh
or
sudo sh flash-linux.sh
This will take a while because the files are transfered to Your device.
7.
When it's done, Your device will start.
Turn it off, and start into Your Ubuntu.
When Ubuntu is Your main system, You start it up normally by pressing the power button.
When Android is Your main system and You are Dual-Booting it, hold down the power button and the Volume down key until the device says that Your have to press the Volume-up key. Do this and You will see a Linux code with two penguins on the top running down Your screen. That's just good like it is.
Finally You should see the Ubuntu Setup with the language selection.
Now You can go on, and now You can set up Your Ubuntu PC!
FYI:
When You have not got a keyboard-dock, Connect Your tablet with Your pc and enter the adb shell
When You don't know how to enter it:
open up Your console, get into the directory of the android-sdk and into the platform-tools.
Then You type:
adb shell
Now You should be in the ADB shell
Now You can type:
DISPLAY=:0 onboard
Then a virtual keyboard should appear on Your tablet and You're ready to go!
Just to create a vocal point, This requires root doesn't it?
Also, is the wifi and stuff working? What's not working?

Nice guide. There is one correction: it took me a while to find this but there is a windows-flash kit that I've used to install ubuntu on the transformer from Windows 7.

I don't think so, because everything is flashed via nvflash. This way, You can flash a rom without having it rooted, too.
But I'm not quite sure..

What's working and not You can read in the Q&A Thread, there is written everything, I just tried to explain it a littlebit easier.
The thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191141
There You can see what's working, what not, and how to connect to a WiFi network (For me it doesn't work...)
Thank for this, I am itching to try this... Is there any "easy" way to get back to stock honeycomb after i try this ?
(sorry for this stupid question, I do no know much about these things)
In my opinion it's very easy.
On the one hand, run the command
Flash-android.sh
Or
Restore-default.sh
Or your use nvflash to wipe the device and get a normal rom on it.

Hi guys, I am trying to get the net install Ubuntu onto my sbk2 device. I'm having trouble finding a program to do this on windows. I would really not want to have to setup a dual boot linux / windows on my desktop instead saving that as a last alternative..... Any help would be much appreciated.
You could install linux to a usb stick and boot from there. Insert your 4GB+ usb stick and run the live cd/usb. You should have an option to install to the usb and be sure to install grub tto the usb stick, not your primary hard drive.
My recommendation would be to skip the windows dual boot and just install linux!
Hello All,
I have a specific question here - I use a program called Sardu to boot into various distros/install windows/troubleshoot PCs. What I would like is to have an ISO of any linux distro (linux mint or DSL comes to mind) that has ADB previously setup and working in a persistence file (very basic linux knowledge here, not sure if it's possible).
Basically I want to be able to choose said linux distro from my bootable USB - launch it any PC i have access too and be able to run ADB commands for the purpose of troubleshooting/rooting of friends/colleagues android devices etc...
If this is at all possible, I am willing to learn the steps needed. I'm not looking for someone to do the work for me (however that would be awesome too ) but I am out of my depth and would love for this to be possible.
TIA for any and all help,
Josh

Look up how to mount an iso read write.
Then mount the iso and add your adb files.
Then write the iso to usb.
