[HOW TO] Install Debian with GUI on any G1 (Any ROM!) ☻☻☻

Okay installing Debian on G1 was a pain in the ass when people make auto installers and never update them -_- I had so much problem trying to use the bootdeb script so heres a manual way to do it and should take like 10 minutes and when done, like 3minutes to start it up.
Feel free to PM me if you get stuck!
What you need:
A Debian Image (debian.img)
Get it here.
ext2.ko
Get it here. If dead, from this page.
unionfs.ko
Get it here. If dead, from this page.
busybox
Get it here. If dead, from this page.
Android Apps you'll need:
Terminal Emulator (Get the free one, even if you have a terminal app!)
VNC Viewer (Free or Paid, anything should work)
Initial Setup
Stuff you need to put in SD card and where.
Put all the files (debian.img, ext2.ko, unionfs.ko & busybox) in one folder named kit and put kit in the root of your SD Card.
Before we start please note this may look looong but Part 1 takes like 10 minutes and Part 2 like 5 mins. So try it out, its worth it!
​Part 1
We will install the base system in this part.
Please Note
You can run the commands below on your computer via ADB Shell but you may have trouble doing Part 2 on your computer. If you understand what you do in Part 1 you may proceed in ADB Shell.​

Step One
Open Terminal paste these in order:
Code:
export kit=/sdcard/kit
Press Enter​
Code:
export bin=/data/local/bin
Press Enter​
Code:
export mnt=/data/local/mnt
Press Enter​
Code:
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
Press Enter​
Code:
export TERM=linux
Press Enter​
Code:
export HOME=/root
Press Enter​
Code:
insmod $kit/ext2.ko
If this gives you a error, ignore it!
Press Enter​
Code:
mkdir $bin #-p
Press Enter​
Code:
cat $kit/busybox >$bin/busybox
Press Enter​
Code:
chmod 755 $bin/busybox
Press Enter​
Code:
alias _=busybox
Press Enter​
Code:
_ mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
Press Enter​
Code:
_ mkdir -p $mnt
Press Enter​
Code:
echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.2' >$mnt/etc/resolv.conf
Press Enter​
Code:
_ chroot $mnt /bin/bash
Part 1 Done​
It shoud now say #localhost: || If not then something went wrong...
Part 2
Installing the GUI.
In your Debian Shell (#localhost) type this:
Code:
cd /etc/apt
Press Enter​
Code:
nano sources.list
Press Enter​Now add these two lines below the 1st source:
deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free

Hit Trackball+O to save and then Trackball+X to exit.
Now type:
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
After its done type:
Code:
apt-get install icewm
After its done type:
Code:
export USER=root
After its done type:
Code:
vncserver -geometry 480x320
You will be asked to setup the VNC Password after this. Set it and remember it!
Now type:
Code:
cd /root
then
Code:
cd .vnc
then
Code:
nano xstartup
Now edit out the file to look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hit Trackball+O and Trackball+X to exit
Now type:
Code:
cd /root
then
Code:
nano .bashrc
And add these lines to it:
Code:
export USER=root
cd /
rm -r -f tmp
mkdir tmp
cd /
vncserver -geometry 480x320
It should look like this:
Now go to Terminal Setting and type this in the Initial Command:
Code:
su
export kit=/sdcard/kit
export bin=/data/local/bin
export mnt=/data/local/mnt
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/root
alias _=busybox
_ mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
_ mount -o loop $kit/debian.img $mnt
_ chroot $mnt /bin/bash
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
Heres a screenshot:
We use this to save time and boot Debian swiftly!
Now reboot the phone!
After its rebooted, just open Terminal and let it do its thing. If it did it right you should see the Debian Shell launched...
Part 3
Playing around in the GUI!
Go to androidVNC (or any VNC client you have)
Enter the floowing details:
Address: localhost
Port: 5901
Password: the one you set while setting up tightvncserver...
Press connect!
Troubleshoot
If you get a blank window and a X on VNC Connection, goto terminal emulator>settings>reset term. And then reopen terminal. Now goto your VNC Viewer and change the port to 5902 and hit connect!
You should now be in the GUI!! Video of the whole thing coming up soon!​
Stuff you may wanna note!
You may not be able to mount your SD Card while Debian is running so you have to restart your phone to mount your SD Card!
Every time you wanna boot debian just open terminal Emulator and install it as a Debian Boot App or something!
There are a few flaws and I am a design guy and not a coder, if you find something wrong or wanna revise anything PM me or reply. I know its not perfect!
Nothing was done by me I just copyed and pasted stuff from sources. Special Thanks to Jay Freeman (saurik) for coming up with Part 1 and dangermouse over at AndroidFanatic for coming up with Part 2!​

Nice! I'm so excited to see that.

if you are trying this reply! I wanna know how it goes!

its the same thing i did months ago! it works fine but too slow :/ on g1

got debian on my g1 for the first time using this walk-through.

Wait, so how do I run this within my mod? will everything on my phone be intact?

Saurik on his website said:
This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let's you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof.
Please note that this is not a "port": Debian already supports ARM EABI, which is the underlying architecture of Android.

How to mount & modify system.img (Ubuntu)

Hi to all. I am a newbie ... but I try to do all my best
Above all please make a directory under /mnt (I called the directory "MyMount1"); "mylogin" represents your login name.
Open the terminal and type the next commands:
-sudo mkdir /mnt/MyMount1
-sudo chown mylogin:mylogin /mnt/MyMount1
-copy system.img & paste it into MyMount1 (computer/mnt/MyMount1)
-cd /
-cd mnt
-cd MyMount1
-mkdir sys/ && sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.img sys/
-sudo chown mylogin:mylogin sys (without this command you will not be able to copy and modify anything)
-cd sys
-sudo chown mylogin:mylogin addon.d (without this command you will not be able to copy and modify anything)
-then copy addon.d & paste it into Ubuntu Desktop (now you can make any changes you want)
-then delete addon.d into /mnt/MyMount1/sys
-copy addon.d (into Ubuntu Desktop) & paste it into /mnt/MyMount1/sys
-then apply the same command to every folder inside system.img (/mnt/MyMount1/sys) and repeat the procedure (copy it into Ubuntu Desktop, make changes and paste it into /mnt/MyMount1/sys).
The following screenshot will help you better understand all the steps :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Before "sudo chown mylogin:mylogin sys" command :
After "sudo chown mylogin:mylogin sys" command :
Before "sudo chown mylogin:mylogin addon.d" command :
After "sudo chown mylogin:mylogin addon.d" command :
That's all ... for now

hey there!!! i can give you a couple of suggestion, even if i don't get if you are only extracting or also editing and repacking since i don't see any repack code.. anyway.. first of all you definitely should use -R in yoour chown code.. this means recursive.. so you don't have to do it for every folder, subfolder and so on!! do a chown -r for sys and you're done with it.
then another thing.. i personally use a script that will handle all this by itself, i put it in the file explorer script folder and so you can access it from everywhere just right-clicking on the file you want to mount.. it will need to edit path for pass it as variable, but it's easy.. at least once you know how to
so this is my script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
CWD=(pwd)
simg2img [email protected] img.img; mkdir /tmp/system; mate-terminal -x sudo mount -t auto -o loop img.img /tmp/system; mate-terminal -x sudo chown -R login:login /tmp/system
just to explain, you see simg2img because i work with sparse img ( from samsung) that must be converted to regular img before get mounted, so i have the simg2img binary compiled and moved into /usr/local/bin path to access it from any path.. you will need to do the same or to remove that part if you don't need it.
also you must change mate-terminal to plain terminal since you're on unity i can see
then move the script to /home/your_login/.nautilus/script (again because you're on unity using nautilus i think) check if it has the exec bit enbled from permission and then enjoy..
oh another thing.. in case you need to copy keeping the permissions and ownership, so that you don't ahve to fix all that later you simply don't set the last part of the script - the chown part, since you can access the subfolders and files anyway and for ex. use the "cp -a /tmp/system/app /your_desired_path to work on it.

Thank you very much for your suggestions
I have to admit that I am a newbie/noob ... particularly on Linux (I have installed Ubuntu OS just a week ago ... I come from the planet Windows). I have tried "android_img_repack_tools-android-6.0.1_r3_x64.tar.gz" ... but simg2img doesn't works (I am not able to convert system.img in raw). I'm trying to mod a system.img Mediatek Marshmallow.
Kindest Regards.

i hano NO idea about mediatek devices, you should ask in the corresponding fora, but most likely you don't need simg 2 img since that's not a sparse img, so you could be able to mount it strait away.. or at least try first without converting it.
what's the error you're getting in terminal?

yeah then is definitely not a sparse img.. maybe a regular img or other kinda of..
you should search for the mtk device forum for this info.. or better yet maybe the @dsixda kitchen has a conversion binary for it, so you can see which is and use it instead of the simg2img.. this kitchen is not anymore updated, so you cannot use it for everything like repack or root, but should work for unpack

MODEMVER=`echo $MODEMVERSTR | cut -d "=" -f 2`
echo $MODEMVER > $ROOTDIR/ver_info.txt
MODEM_VDISK=/media/vdisk
cp -f $MODEM_STK $MODEM_NEW
sudo mkdir -p $MODEM_VDISK
sudo mount -t vfat $MODEM_NEW -o rw,umask=0000,shortname=lower $MODEM_VDISK
rm -f $MODEM_VDISK/image/modem.*
rm -f $MODEM_VDISK/image/mba.*
rm -f $MODEM_VDISK/image/adsp.*
rm -f $MODEM_VDISK/image/wcnss.*
cp -f ./* $MODEM_VDISK/image/
rm -f $MODEM_VDISK/verinfo/ver_info.txt
mkdir -p $MODEM_VDISK/verinfo
cp -f $ROOTDIR/ver_info.txt $MODEM_VDISK/verinfo/
sudo umount $MODEM_NEW
cd $ROOTDIR
11. Run script makeimg.sh (result: NON-HLOS.bin)
12. New image NON-HLOS.bin should flash in the relevant section of eMMC.

Thank you sir :highfive:

Sir, I need your help
How to solve this ?

The original page is in russian.
Use google translate.
http://syshwid.blogspot.com/2016/08/build-qualcomm-modem.html
You will need the untranslated page to see the "code" that is in code boxes.
And the translated page to read the instruction.

I would lean more towards thinking that to enable LTE would require the driver to be included in the kernel.
Secondary to that some of the NV Items may need switched.

Hi!
Thanks for these tools, Do you have the last version patched? QXDM 4.0? With 3.14.1144 version, some message shown "unknown" and I can read the information.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you.

Big question about building a image. I know the plmn are in the image.im looking for a way to bypass the simlock check. I proven with a Dev build there are no plmn's and this in turn locks all sim cards. Even one's that should be carrier unlocked for the phone. If this can be accomplished we can just flash the modem.img to simunlock like back in the day.

Well I was Going Through The possibilities of Termux and was extracting .Dat compression in my PC to extract some files out of system folder Then i readed in one xda thread that Termux can install Python,cmake, and all in our Android itself also seen that Python script by @xpirt on @matrixex thread for unpack repack .Dat on pc I seen that this Python script converts .dat to .img Then suddenly One idea arised in my mind Why don't I try that in my phone itself I tried and the result was just insane it worked like a charm in real. Now we want files but it is in .img extension how can we extract that then i Found This app called Zarchiver on playstore You can unpack the image now and use those files or edit them Also i found Another interesting app Android image kitchen by which you can unpack the image and make changes in the image content by import export of files but it leaves the image as it is in .img extension only can edit but can't unpack so the Zarchiver method is the best.....
This can help Rom porters and Rom developing Dev's​
Plz don't forget to hit the thnx button it can appreciate someone ???
I am still a noob so i can't answer Dev's professional questions but I think Other Dev's Moderators and Contributors will help the DEv's​

We can also use Image Factory app to do this https://m.apkhere.com/app/crixec.app.imagefactory
For new brotli packages we need additional commands
Code:
cd /sdcard/Download/ext
pkg install brotli
brotli -d system.new.dat.br -o system.new.dat

How you got system folder? Did you mounted system.img to some folder?

I rented dat to img. then I uninstall the file system.img using zarchiver, and in that folder there are build pro files, prive apps etc., and how do I change it back to img ... then to dat

I dont know how to do that from a folder....
But If you are using mobile you can mount it somewhere and tweak it....
Code:
mkdir /data/local/system
mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime <system.img path> /data/local/system
You can now tweak /data/local/system folder ...
After tweaking that system folder you have to unmount /data/local/system
Code:
umount /data/local/system
img2simg system.img system_sparse.img
img2simg binary can be found in FlashFire apk lib folder for your arch...
Then you have to use img2sdat.py code.....

Place system.img extracted from .dat file in /sdcard/Music folder and type following

Yea, that's on my to do list.
Just have to get my hands on a s10 up_param.bin still.
The files are most likely the same, the zip will probably just work already.
Perhaps you can upload me your up_param.bin?

Where is this file?

Run the follow commands on your device in terminal.
su
cat /dev/block/platform/13d60000.ufs/by-name/up_param > /data/media/0/up_param.bak
It will pull up_param.bin and place it as up_param.bak on your internal SD card
Share it here please.

I can not handle it.

Judging by the fact you are lookin to remove the boot warnings it's safe to say you're rooted.
Once rooted, go to playstore, grab a terminal app like Material Terminal.
Open it, typ su on first line. It will show #.
Then the command I gave you, it should be easy
