[Q] Ubuntu Net-Install help - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
i would have posted this in the related thread but i have less than 10 posts so i cant
Anyway, I have been trying to get ubuntu as a dualboot on my tf101. I have sucessfully managed it with OLiFE PRIME and it works quite well.However, when I try and do the same thing with the net-install, it all installs, Android works, i can connect to the net and it downloads all the required packages but i am unable to get to ubuntu when i reboot. It keeps taking me to TWRP. This happens whether i install it as primary or secondary os. Android always works, but ubuntu doesnt.anybody have any suggestions as what im doing wrong or is there something im supposed to do that i havent seen!? The jhinta kernel installs and all seems to go without errors or problems.
I've been googling and repeatedly trying for nearly a week and i havnt come across anybody with the same problem. Any help would be gratefuly received.

No-one can help? Really?

Status Error 7 Problem

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket for AT&T. I have been rooted for a year now. I have installed a ton of roms over this time period.
However, now, everytime I try to install a ROM I always get the Status 7 Error message.
-I have wiped the phone 3-4 times before attempting to install a rom
-I updated CWM to 6.0.1.3 (latest version)
-I have installed a kernel first before attempting to install a ROM
-I have used a MacBook and a regular PC desktop to download the ROMs
I did everything above to try and see if the different ways work, but nothing did.
Now I can't use my phone since I can't install a ROM. Could someone please help?
Thank you in advance!

Here are my few suggestions:
Might try using odin to go back to stock. The sticky threads around here should be helpful for that.
Have you tried TWRP? Or sk8r's CWM touch? Some people have better luck with one recovery over others.

Why? Its a question, and its not specific to a certain ROM.

All you need to do is mod one file in a ROM zip called the updater script

What do I change in that file?
Also, why did this occur now and not before?
Take out the top couple lines involving the word assert and showing a model number
It happens due to ROM makers putting that in to protect from bricks there is normally a toggle in recoveries to ignore it
Edit: in the time its taken to make all those posts you could have Google searched and had it fixed in about 5 mins

Negative. I did a ton of thread digging, I know I can just revert back to original rom with ODIN, but I'd rather not do it. I am looking for the simplest answer so that I can create a thread about it for people who do not want to search for hours and complete those lucrative tasks.
Also, MOST answers are like yours; they tell people what to do, but if people don't understand the 'lingo', the answer is useless. People need/want specifics, and that is what I am trying to do in the thread I am going to create. People shouldn't have to dig in threads with over 100+ pages.
Thank you for your help though.
Google never xda search dude there is step by steps that would take all of 3 mins to find

AOSP Rom JB 4.2.2 Ported

I have just successfully ported this rom from Vibrant. It is based on the original Google's AOSP rom. Does anyone up for a test drive? I haven't tested it yet.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Post it in the development section, I'm sure there will be people willing to flash and test for you
If you need to host it just start a torrent. I will seed it.

Darn it. Just tested. It just hanged at the logo screen upon reboot.
reboot or boot?
It booted up to the logo and just hanged there. I've been trying for about 4 hours and I still get the same thing. Everything installed fine, but when I did a system reboot, it only loaded to the logo screen.
Grab a log of the boot and see where it's hanging.
4.2.2 is hard to grab logs since adb debugging is turned off by default.
How are you porting this? What's your base? Is it hanging at the boot kernel splash? Are you still able to get to cwm/twrp?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I am using your cm-10.1 as base. I am porting using Porting 1.2.5 script. It passed the kernel splash screen but hanged at the rom splash screen. Yes, I am able to get in cwm. This is the rom: [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.2.2][JDQ39] SuperNexus 2.0 from Vibrant forum that I was trying to learn to port. I even did it manually, still getting hanged at the splash screen.

Hey have you tried messing with build.prop to enable it?
Code:
# Miscellaneous MTP & ADB tweaks. May improve MTP & ADB connections
persist.sys.usb.config=mtp,adb
ro.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1
persist.service.mount.playsnd=0
persist.service.debuggable=1
Found them here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1biEoagtQYGFjEmOONRisDgjtq-3hFl3ekJNZpnM6z2Y/edit?pli=1
They might've changed JB enough that they won't work though... :/
EDIT:
If someone can test it? Modify the build.prop in the zip file for the rom, then try doing a factory reset, flash the rom and see if they can connect to the phone via ADB without having to mess with the settings first. If that works then we should definitely enable this on all the JB roms 'cause it's annoying as hell not being able to pull up a logcat on a bootloop.
I'll give it a try.
You just need to add
Code:
ro.adb.secure=0
That will turn off all the adb safeguards that google worked so hard to put in place.
If you have this line
Code:
ro.adb.qemud=1
Change that to 0 as well.
Sorry beast I guess I should have told you a while ago. lol

[Q] QHSUSB_DLOAD S-Off

Ok, I'd been on the Sense 5 Rom and Elemental 6.7 for a while. Today I noticed that my phone wasn't going to sleep and was normally clocked around 1.0 Ghz no matter what it was doing. I tried changing the settings with No-frills cpu control but it didnt work. Long story short: I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the kernel to see if it would fix the problem. I used the stock elemental x settings (no overclock or undervoltage). The kernel flashed, I pressed reboot and the phone went dark... It wont cut on, holding the power button does nothing and plugging it into the computer gets me the qhsusb_dload message that I've read isnt a good thing to have. However most people who had this problem seem to have gotten it from RUU while S-On, my phone was S-Off so I'm wondering does that help my chances any, and is there anything I can do to restore my phone?
Try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need to run linux by live usb or live CD if you don't run linux. A virtual machine could work too.
If you can make it past step 3 and the partitions are intact, you can restore your phone.

Alright guys. Seems like I'm fully bricked. Another guy on here had the same issue and said he sent it to HTC and they covered it so I called and am gonna send it in as well. *Fingers crossed* If it doesnt work then I'll probably just save up and upgrade to the one.
I know I dont post a lot here, but I do a lot of reading and you all have been super helpful. Thanks for the hard work you all put into this.

If you are in QHSUSB-DLMODE after trying to install RUU, OTA, or a custom kernel, you are pretty much done, aside from JTAG or sending it to HTC. I don't believe anybody has unbricked from any of these conditions.

You could try for years and will not recover. You require specially signed files from HTC to recover from that.
You are more than welcome to try the unbrick evita thread but if your patitions don't enumerate (step 3) there Is no way to recover without signed files from HTC. Other than jtagg ofcourse.

Ubuntu Touch Test
1.Download base zip http://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Infuse4G/Ubuntu/infuse4g_ubuntu.zip
2. Download preinstall http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-to.../current/saucy-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip
yes it is 300+mb make sure you have space on your sdcard for it
3. Reboot to recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap file first the infuse_ubuntu zip then reboot recovery may do it itself
4. in ubuntu's purple recovery flash the saucy zip takes a while to flash make sure your battery is charged
5. Note this a preview not a daily driver it is pretty cool but it lacks full features.
if it doesnt boot up go into ubuntu's recovery wipe data and format system then flash bootstrap then saucy
To update partially go to terminal on your phone and type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
the password is phablet
I am working on porting the flipped version which has more features

What do you mean what did it do ?
Please explain did it reboot etc ?
I did the wipes and partition formats like you instructed from CWM (version 6.1 I think, can't check ATM). I flashed the first zip and it aborted and said please flash again to confirm. I did, a status bar appeared then it rebooted to the white Samsung logo boot screen and sat there for a good thirty minutes before I got fed up and pulled the battery. Now when I boot I get the black screen with the Samsung logo and I can't boot into recovery anymore so I'll have to plug it up to Odin and repartition. I left it at home though so its gonna be a while.

You guys can flash recovery? If so try a newer recovery like scotts newest 4.2.2 builds because I am using his source idk if it will have any effects but i did read about his partition change and if you're using that version of cwm thats pretty old

I really wish I could help, I would offer you the one I have but USB data doesn't work (you know if it gets soft bricked then there is no fixing it) so for that reason I don't believe it would be a prime candidate, you sometimes can get these freedom eBay at a really good price as long as you can deal with not having something work, or if you post a thread asking to borrow someone device for a while that seems to have worked pretty well in the past here

I would be interested in helping test this as well. I'm not super experienced, but I have been flashing roms on my infuse for a while(not my daily driver, I use a nexus 4) I have no problem abusing it. I would need some details on getting started with this, and what details you need, from me to help.
I have already downloaded the files from earlier in the thread. my current recover is cwm 6.0.3.2 but I think one of the zips replaces that, right? I'm posting the info to make sure there hasn't been a problem with changing over from there.

[Q] Fxz in Linux

Hey guys..my laptop has ubuntu installed..is there any way to fxz to stock from linux??..i tried WINE n Rsdlite but its not working..any help really appreciated..thanks in advance:thumbup:
EDIT:Here is how I did it in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Requirements
1-Android SDK
get the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423515
2-Setting up fastboot
(No guides available for our phone I'll update on shortly..basically it involves creating 99-android.rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d with our phone vendor and product Id)
Flashing
1-make a folder in Ubuntu home directory eg: "ICS"
2-drop all files from fxz directory into the above folder
3-connect phone to PC in fastboot mode
4-open terminal and navigate to this directory..then type the following
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
Done!!
Note:this will wipe data and cache and flash system.img to your phone..this works with SEARET ICS fxz but should work with others too..I find this easier and less time consuming than rsdlite
I'll try to make a script for flashing and rooting soon..still very much a noon to Linux

I could swear that I've read that you can flash an FXZ in Linux using command lines, or whatever, but that RSD lite only works in windows. I'm not 100% positive about that because I can't find the post. It seems so familiar though....

I think it can be done pretty easily. I'll try to make some time tonight to work it out and let you know...
edit: Nevermind, it looks like the root method here contains a script to root in Linux. a2_ics_Root.sh. You just need adb installed in Linux and working.

Hey no worries, I didn't realize it until earlier today! I downloaded the root zip to look at the batch file. I thought, ah, I can do this same script in Linux. Then I realized that there already was one in the zip!
When I get some time I'm going to try the FXZ on my Linux box and root. Just for fun...because I'm a loser like that... :cyclops:
Just out of curiosity, what distribution are you running?

When I get some time I'm going to try the FXZ on my Linux box and root. Just for fun...because I'm a loser like that... :cyclops:
Just out of curiosity, what distribution are you running?

Why didn't you go with 14.04? I think it's lts as well. It is pretty refreshing. I've been using mint for a few years. You should download some source code and compile a rom. It's pretty rewarding when it works! Although frustrating when it doesn't!

If it doesn't perform well you can install another desktop environment like xfce or lxde, they take much less than unity. Not as pretty though. When you have multiple DEs installed, you can choose the one you want when you login
My device is getting detected when i type lsusb but the fxz script shows error "command not found"..seems i have to configure adb properly

Certainly sounds like and adb setup problem. What happens when you run "adb start-server"?
Check this out.
