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 ...

[TOOL]i9001 Quick Flasher v1.4 (25-05-2012)

i9001 Quick Flasher​
Version: 1.4 (Final)​
This tool allows you to flash kernels, recoveries, system.img.ext4 and other partitions while operating your phone. it works with ADB obviously. I've chosen to sent direct commands to adb (adb -d shell) instead of a batch script, I used batch scripts for the checks though. Because all ADB actions are hidden I created a log, which tells you what's is going on. Remember that this tool is not a toy to play around with, only use it when needed.

Hi Brood,
nice to see you developing noob-proved proggies to prevent a wrong handling. Do i have to start this little proggie within the adb-folder or is it enough to have a path as a system variable ?
THX in advance

Yes that's what I was thinking to, Since it's so easy to make I can keep producing such tools , got a working beta from scratch in 2-3 hours. (allot of copycat business ^^)

Released v1.1, this version includes all functions
I tested Flashing a kernel, flashing recovery and flashing an empty 100mb cache.img.ext4, all working
Haven't tested flashing system.img.ext4 yet, but I think most people will use this tool for easy kernel/recovery switching, not for flashing whole roms
Enjoy

Lol dunno why but everything wat brood says gets like 3 thanks.. not fair ;p and in which situation this is useful? can't really imagine that

It's handy in the situation when loads of people ask how to combine Feamod 1.4 with Cranium Kernel v6 for example. Also I prefer it's speed. it's faster then booting in recovery.
And I will continue creating such tools since they are so easy to make and they help people, so why not?
And I really got most "thanks" from broodROM it's not that everything I say deserves a thanks

As a ROM developer you should realize it Imagine creating new /system partition and testing it? Changing kernels without fiddling with recovery? Fast wipe of /data? Etc.

Why are you always posting this kind of negative answers to me..... "as a rom developer you should know this" "as a rom developer you should realize it" im a bit done of it, try yourself man
sorry for off-topic. I won't use it myself because I dont really need it ;p

That was not meant to be offending... but right for ROM developers, like you, it might improve your workflow when developing and testing new ROMs as it makes recurring tasks easier to handle.

Idd. basically everything that uses adb and is fully/partially automated can save you time. So it can become handy for a ROM developer

Excuse me if i breaking rules Is this tool may help me with results of my incompetence? Probably i've destroyed or just wiped Recovery and download mode partitions, but i don't know how or when . More here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575680

Reflashing the recovery should be plenty. Just connect your phone in debugging mode to your pc, download Feamod 1.4 and extract the recovery.img from it, in the app choose "Flash a new recovery" and "Wipe before flashing", click "Browse..." to browse for the recovery.img file and click "Start Now". This should do the trick

It's interesting. Recovery flash was temporary, 1 boot and all over again (wipe checked). But when i flash, asap enter download and flash via odin my original i9001XXKG3 recovery becomes stable and works properly every time, why? Maybe permissions were messed up or sth?

I don't know that there's a problem with flashing the flatline.img (bootloader 10.6.1.14.4) with what you're currently having on your tab. However, just so you feel safe, downgrade you rom to 10.6.1.14.4, then flash the flatline image. Once you have the blobs, upgrade again.

You are on an ICS bootloader and you HAVE to upgrade to JB before you try to make nvFlash work!
Download any of the 10.6.1.14.x (.4/.8/.10) firmware (just make sure it's your SKU), then push the latest TWRP version in fastboot to the tablet - just to make sure that you really have fastboot working on your PC.
Then proceed with nvFlash.

Alright made some good progress i think.
Ive generated the blobs.
But i cannot figure out how to adb pull i keep getting this message (screenshot)

I have tried this on the screen where they were generated and with android fully booted
Will i have to regenerate the blobs because i left the recovery?
So I'm at a loss i appreciate all the help so far and hope i can get this resolved!
Edit:I think i need to install the universal drivers still I've been trying to cant figure it out and its way to late to continue if someone else can give me an idea on it or a step by step guide would be amazing.
Far as i can tell I've got the adb driver installed out of the driver pack but I'm not sure what to do now to get my blobs pulled off my device.

Just use your tablet's file manager to search for them and copy them to a SD card or via USB. You don't HAVE to adb pull those files. They are somewhere on you internal SD.
Do you have adb working? Does it return your tablet's serial number if you cmd: adb devices

**Sometimes a bug appears on AROMA installer, it shows "please wait" but it's not loading, just tap on the screen and you will be able to continue normally. This bug is not MayaMod related, something is wrong with our device or recoveries.
Fixed in new TWRP 2.8.1.0 (thanks to @BENETNATH)

Great work, running without a glitch currently

rom is great-but now no google framwork(gsf id key) so playestore does not work.i used android device id and its gone.any ideas? thanks ian

yep, can't install anything through google play store. RPC error

Uhmmm... I'll find the issue and fix it. Thanks for your feedback!

I cannot reproduce the issue, I 'm able to install through Playstore and no problem with GFS ID... If someone could try a pair of things for me let me know.

No issues with the play store on my install.

Signature failed
I have a rooted Slatebook 10 X2 via the expensive cable and am trying to install the files above. However, when following the instructions and trying from two different locations, USB stick and Downloads folder, I get the same error message: Signature Verification failed.
Suggestions?

Which recovery ?

Which recovery?
It should be CWM, but after reading the original rooting instructions via the "expensive cable" method, it seems I will have to run the maya-0.1.img again and sideload TWRP, then install MayaMod.
I think what happens with the original rooting is that it is a one-time deal. If you want to make changes at a later date you have to run the .img file again to go into CWM and then make the changes.
It was forever getting my PC to recognize my Slatebook. I guess I am back in the ADB business, like it or not.

Flash TWRP 2.8 via fastboot and you won't need the cable anymore.

No more cable
Understood and you are exactly correct. Thanks.

Will not "SEE" tablet
I remember when I first rooted it using the "expensive cable" method and that I had a real challenge then and it was all about the USB drivers. Stupid me did not write down the steps so now I am having to go through the same process again, but this time with NO luck.
Does anyone have maybe a list of items for me to check out to assure that whatever conflict I have is removed and I can install MayaMod? It would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

A Solution for us non-techies
I kept trying to connect my tablet to my PC and failed miserably. So, I started trying ROM installers that I found in Google Apps. After trying 4-5 of them I came across FLASHIFY. It is FREE for the first three flashes and for $3.99 (US) you unlock it and can flash whatever you want.
I used my first two flashes to flash the IMG file provided via the "expensive cable" method and the TWRP zip file, both done as a batch. The TWRP zip file did not fully install so I used my third flash to reflash the TWRP zip file and this time it installed correctly. I then paid the $3.99 (US) and used Flashify to install the MayaMod zip file.
MayaMod is great, has many cool features, not to mention the opening screen.
Many thanks to everyone for your guidance.

Flashify app is used to flash kernels and recoveries from booted Android, very useful for rooted devices without custom recoveries or fastboot access. Free version is limited to 3 files per day but you can use Rashr app (included in MayaMod) which is basically the same but with no limit and for free.
Now that you achieved it, welcome to this thread and I hope you enjoy MayaMod.

Now, if someone will finally create a real app that really moves apps to an EXTERNAL SD card and will assure they will run from the SD card, we will really be in business.

ROM updated!!! Enjoy!!

I have a rooted Slatebook 10 X2 via the expensive cable and am trying to install the files above. However, when following the instructions and trying from two different locations, USB stick and Downloads folder, I get the same error message: Signature Verification failed.
Suggestions?

[ GUIDE ] How to Boot Ubuntu 14.10 from USB on the Asus T200TA

THIS IS CURRENTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS I WILL UPDATE THIS DAILY SO KEEP TUNED
Download "ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64.iso" from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Download "Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9.exe" from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
*Important* Follow the directions on Pendrivelinux.comto make a bootable USB stick using the Ubuntu 14.10 ISO you downloaded earlier.
You should now be able to browse trough the files on the USB stick
Now Download this custom "bootia32.efi" from my repo https://github.com/Chadder43/T200TA-TinCan/blob/master/EFI/Boot/bootia32.efi, and place the file on the USB stick in the /EFI/BOOT folder. There should be two files in the folder already, just add the bootia32.efi to them.
Congrats, You now have a bootable USB stick!!!

Click Change PC Settings.
Click Update and Recovery
Click Recovery
Under Advanced startup select Restart Now
Let the T200TA reboot
When it restarts click Troubleshoot
Click Advanced options
Click UEFI Firmware Settings
Click Restart
This is the "BIOS"
Now go over to the Save & Exit tab, and go down and select your USB device under the Boot Override Option. Mine happens to be "UEFI: MEMOREX TF20 PMAP"
Select Try Ubuntu without installing
It will Probably spit out a bunch of stuff like this
Then go to this screen
And it is still on it. It took quite a while to load. If I was using a USB 3.0 it would have been quicker
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.10
I will continue to update this daily so check back soon to learn how to fully install Ubuntu to a USB and get WIFI working along with other patches.

Thanks for sharing this.
Do you have a 64bit windows on your T200TA? I have the cheaper version, 32bit windows on a 64bit cpu. The usbstick wont start. I tried many ways, disabled secureboot, disabled fastreboot, nothing works... Can you help me?
Edit:
Nvm. I was too dumb to download bootia32.efi correctly.

Thanks for this. It's taking so long to load ubuntu because of all the i/o errors its reporting on the eMMC drive. I'm getting the same errors on mine, too, so I think we can safely assume there are no true i/o errors happening. Probably something to do with ubuntu trying to access Wimboot?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing how to get wifi working.

Thank you for share your work.
But when I going to boot grub in Boot Override, I get error: Secure Boot Violation - Invalid signature detected. Check Secure Boot Policy in Setup.
My asus differs your:
T200TA
BIOS Version 206

Have you tried disabling bitlocker encryption?

Thanks for this Chadder43, I had tried various methods to attempt running Linux on my machine, none worked until I used your method. I am sure all the bugs will be ironed out in time, wifi is essential. Will be trying various Linux distributions with your method to see if any work.

There is a quicker way to get to that options screen-- shift. + restart,.

You can also just reboot and repeatedly hit Escape while reboot to enter boot menu. Repeatedly F2 while reboot enters uefi-settings.

No Problem,
Im sorry to everyone for not dedicating the time that I would like to this, but with school full time, and working on the weekends just to survive... well you know?
Has anyone tried to use ndiswrapper for the windows drivers? the wifi card and what seems like everything else is "wired" in I2C somehow, I havnt gotten that far, but soon I hope.

I tested with kubuntu 15.04 beta1 , it worked fine, unless already known faults: wifi, sound, etc. I love KDE 5 plasma.

Thanks Chadder43, for taking time to write this up. We you are to make any progress with respect to sound?

Great work, Chadder43! I've got it working too, with the already mentioned lack of sound, wifi, etc.
I wonder if it would be possible to make a true dual boot system of the T200, with GRUB or any other bootloader, or does UEFI put an end to that?

Any more update on this thread.
I really like to have a working wifi and sound.

hi, i am looking to install the ubuntu on t200ta, assus transformer, i was able to boot with usb and try the ubuntu , but my apprehension regarding touchpad , touch screen and other drivers issues are not clear. how to update them? has the issues of drivers addressed?
