Ubuntu 10.10 on LG Optimus 3D xD

Managed to get Ubuntu 10.10 running last night on my rooted LG Optimus 3D , figured I'd post up the files I modified to get it running and a very quick guide, so here goes,
First of you'll need to root your phone, see here.
Install Busybox v1.18.4 (doesnt survive a reboot, so you'll need to reinstall it each time you boot ubuntu after a reboot, (sorry im sure this can be resolved but im an android n00b)) from here.
Then download these files.
Then follow this tutorial.
Ignore the download link on the tutorial page (I've included the correctly edited files here) and the driver installation step (you did that when you rooted the phone).
Enjoy!
EDIT:File now uploaded/linked.

Does our phone support USB OTG so that we could plugin some usb devices
Can you use a BT keyboard and mouse to control it?

Still have these files, the upload site is non-operational.

link dead...

Link please?

This is the way I did it a while back and it worked perfectly. It runs whichever Linux distro you choose in a VM on top of Android and you use a VNC viewer app to access the VM. It ran pretty well, but I only tested it a couple times with Ubuntu and Backtrack.

Cannot stat?

When using vipermod on Linux in the terminal it shows a " cannot stat " error on every line the script does. How can I fix this?

do you have the right drivers installed

Adb sees my tf101. So driver wise things must be good. Also if i do lsusb it also sees the asustek transformer

I'm pretty sure you need the specific drivers for vipermod inst. I think they are actually primes' drivers. Go to the vipermod thread and watch the video tutorial on how to install them and read thouroghly

Help with Ubuntu 12.04

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am trying to use Adams linux tool to unlock it. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and got ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded the tool extracted it, opened it nothing ran so I found the file Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot in Scripts I opened that and then clicked on adb.exe and got this error.
Archive: /home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe
Zip file size: 191488 bytes, number of entries: 33758
[/home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe]:
Zipfile is disk 58485 of a multi-disk archive, and this is not the disk on
which the central zipfile directory begins (disk 30091).
I am completely lost on how to fix it. I am still learning Ubuntu and am familiarizing myself with the system. For some reason when excuting adb commanding I have to put ./ in front of every command or it will not recognize the command. I tried following a guide which would update a source file so I would not need ./ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

No one used Adams tool? Or even offer a link to something to help me out?

Just download the app its in the play store it will unlock your boot loader. Its simple! If you are trying to root your phone also the you will have to use Adams tool if you chose. You will also need java JDK 6.XX. If you look in development you will see other ways to root also and a link to the app for boot loader

I used to use Ubuntu a great deal until I needed Word to write my dissertation. I tried to use Adam's tool in Ubuntu as well and eventually gave up and went back to Windows. For some reason, the tool always said I had a good connection to my phone event when I unplugged my phone from the cable. My computer obviously was not recognizing the phone properly. Since I have been back on Windows for a few years, I just decided to follow the idiots guides out there and just get it done.
Here are a few stupid errors I made:
1. I did not have java runtime environment installed. I simply went to the software store that comes with Ubuntu, searched for java, and installed it.
2. I did not make the .jar file executable. I just clicked on the file, went into properties, and chose the make it executable option.
This at least got the program to run rather than exploring the file .jar file for what it included in it.
As I am sure you know, the Ubuntu forums are a wealth of information. I could have searched there for answers, but I decided to take an easier path. Of course, Adam's program didn't work for me under windows either so I just used a different method. Good luck and I hope you get it working for you in Ubuntu.

[Q] Someone using non Win PC for flashing the phone?

Hi all there, I'm really new with Android and would use it on my HTC HD MIni (NAND). Read many instructions to do the procedure, but always I will hang at the same: "Start xyz...bat....".
Guys, is anyone out there who could think, that people exist, NOT using Windows?
How should I start a .bat- file in my Lubuntu without scripting it new (if I could, think no)?
Anything, hints and links are welcome.
thanks

You can try running the bat using WINE on Lubuntu, to do so if you haven't already installed WINE run the following command from a terminal:
Code:
sudo apt-get install wine
Then after WINE is installed run:
Code:
wine cmd
Then the command below form your Wine drive folder (I.E Z: or C: )
Code:
start filename.bat

Unfortunately Odin isn't compatible with HTC devices, and mobile Odin requires root access to function and must be used with a Samsung device.

Root for HP Slate 7

This post is by "kibaruk" his method worked for me.
Thanks kibaruk!!!!!!
kibaruk said:
ok for all slate 7 users, i found a real easy and secure way to root our device, no brick chance because it doesn't modify anything inside the tablet, you just push su.
Way easier than having to install software you don't even know what it does...
The hardest part of the whole thing is installing the adb drivers which is detailed below in step 6-7-8 in case it's all you need.
step 1: Download android sdk manager (there are lots of stripped versions that might work but for tutorials sake we'll use the whole thing).
step 2: Download cydia's impactor (cydia's impactor home page in case you are interested in reading a bit).
step 3: Install both software previously downloaded (the android sdk manager doesnt have an installer, it will unzip and work from that directory, it's probably better if you unzip it into an easy to access path but it's up to you, for tutorial we will use c:\asdk\ ).
step 4: Open android sdk manager, select from the list and install only* "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" (* only as in this are the only things we actualy need, if you need at some other point or are interested in tinkering you are free to do so).
Ok so here we start with the sort-of-hard part, making our computer connect with our slate 7 through adb, to do this you need to...
step 5: Open a command terminal (windows button + r to open a run window and type cmd to open a terminal).
step 6: Go to c:\users\username\.android\ and type within the terminal:
Code:
echo 0x03f0 >> adb_usb.ini
step 7: At this point you need to get back to an explorer window and get to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ (or wherever you unzipped it), there you will find a file called "android_winusb.ini", open it and add at the end the following:
Code:
; hp
%singleadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5e1d
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5d1d&mi_01
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_601d&mi_01
step 8: Open windows device manager and you will see your tablet as "hp" with a yellow warning icon, right click it and check update software, then click look for software in the computer, then click on choose driver from a list.
Once you do this you will see an icon "use disk". Explore your way to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ and choose "android_winusb.ini" file.
The first option you will see is android adb interface, so you pick next, it will warn you about installing drivers from unkwnown sources you keep saying yes until it's done.
step 9: Go back to your cmd terminal and get to c:\asdk\sdk\platform-tools\ , this is where adb.exe is and type in the following:
Code:
adb kill-server
Code:
adb start-server
Code:
adb devices
if everything worked as expected you will see a device listed, this is your slate 7.
step 10: Now open cydia's impactor tool, you will see a small window with a default command on screen which is the following:
Code:
# drop supersu su to /system/xbin/su
just click start next to it aaaaand you are done!
Just open an app like titanium backup which needs root to see if it worked.
This method is simple plus you don't have to download anything chinese or unnecesary software into your computer, the tutorial is really long because i tried to be as detailed as posible but in the end you shouldnt take more than 5 minutes (the downloads might take a bit longer though for the sdk), i would take screenshots of the process but my computer runs on a spanish version of windows (the same reason why you might see things with different names i was just trying to guess the device manager label part).
If you have any question feel free to ask and if it worked for you a thanks would be awesome so more users will try this.

The Slate 7 and the TP are completely different. I strongly suggest that instead of posting here, you request that XDA start a forum for your device. A quick Google search turns up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=855.

I know they are different but there is no Sub Forum for Slate 7.
So I posted it here hoping for someone to reply with Root files :/

Thanks for moving it.

Bump

Hey mate,
I have tried to root the HP Slate 7. I am not a developer. I am just an user who knows a thing or two.
Upon trying to sideload flash root files, adb stops and says it cannot be done on production firmware. Same goes via manual.
So the issue relies on the firmware. HP has locked the device down so we will either need to wait on HP to give us the unlock method or for a developer to crack it!
You can always try yourself but not sure if it will work. I think if we created a pre-root firmware we could flash that to gain root.
Root files are universal so just search and download!

Well I can't find root files.
And the problem I think is the CWM.

Tried this and no success. This is what I have been doing and no luck. adb commands work and it will push but the apps aren't there after completing step 2 and running unlock root. I have done a reboot and tried more than once.
I have done this method before so I don't know where I am going wrong lol.
To be honest, I think my Slate and laptop aren't communicating correctly. I cannot transfer non-media files. Have you got this issue?

Mate have you done something to your HP Slate that I haven't? Or you have a special one.
Adb works fine for me. Gaining root does not. Same error. Cannot do on a production build.
Any updates done before root? Mine was out the box and straight to the laptop for rooting. I downloaded the backup firmware from HP's site and not used it.
