I was intrested for installing linux on my phone and found poshmarket os and i saw surface rt as an supported device so i tried to boot and it worked i think
I have made it to this screen, let the tablet sit all night, and it never progressed further. Do you have an update about how it went?
Same but I think the kernal is a problem
PostmarketOS for the Surface 2 is not really usable at the moment...
UPDATE I have been able to create a custom image with pmbootstrap.
However this inage also gets stuck on a with some commands and the last one is always "exiting boot services" different screen but i believe some tweaking in the pmbootstrap will resolve the issue

Hi,
I read these threads about booting into ubuntu (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392167&page=2) and implementing dual boot (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578438).
As far as I could understand, in order to be able to multi boot into both images I need to use the zImage from the ubuntu kernel and initramfs file from the dual boot kernel.
The multiboot menu shows up when I'm turning the device on, but I can only boot into the ubuntu option.
When I try to use the stock (I was surpriesed to see this option) the device resets, and when I try choosing the rooted ICS I installed before, it seems like the menu is loading it (there's a bar at the bottom of the screen), but then theres only a black screen while the device is still activated.
I'm kind of new to this and I don't really understand the logic behind these matters - I just do as instructed, but if any of you can help I would really appreciate it!!
I followed a guide to dual boot my Linx7 tablet using the Cube iWork 7 download with Android and Windows 10. I got this working fine and over the last few weeks have setup both how i want them. However, at some point i seem to have lost the ability to choose which OS to boot. Normally I'd turn the tablet on, see the American Megatrends screen then it would boot to the EFI Shell/Bootloader?? which would give me the choice of booting Android or Windows. I get none now and it will just boot to the last used OS.
In Android i noticed an app that is called 'Boot to Windows' which works as expected, reboots into Windows. However when I was booting to Windows, to get back to Android i rebooted about 6 times and just hammered volume down which happened to work and boot it into Android. I'm not afraid to boot back into Windows in case i can't get back into Android.
Does anyone know what I've done, how i can fix it, ideally without having to reinstall both OS's again or is there a way of changing the OS to boot to without the menu (like volume down which i feel shouldn't have worked for me but did)
Any help would be really appreciated as I've searched for hours to find answers without any luck.
i was given this tablet, when the tablet is charged and turned on it displays the nextbook loading screen until the battery dies hours later, i have been looking for a stock recovery image to flash back to the tablet to at least boot into android, i have tried to factory restore the tablet and it keeps doing the same thing, can anyone tell me what im doing wrong? can anyone help me get twrp installed from fastboot so i can try to flash a few of the dumps that i have found for this tablet? any help getting this tablet working again would be appreciated, i have no idea what caused the recovery to not work, every tablet and phone i have ever did a factory reset on has worked, this is a first for me, also since this tablet is running an intel chip, is it possible to install windows 10 on it ?
Hello,
I'm a long time browser of this forum and have had a lot of luck with ROMs in the past, however, in the spring I bricked my N8013 like something horrible. Long story short, I zeroed the internal SD card and had to rebuild the partition table from scratch as I couldn't find a working PIT at the time. FUN!
Anyway, once it was fixed I was able to get Lineage 14.1-20170305-unofficial-n8013 installed and working....mostly What a relief! MTP didn't work, but WiFi did. One thing I noticed right away was that the Boot Logo, when you first turned the tablet on seems to be referencing some trash space on the internal SD card as there is no logo, only noise or maybe a previous screen (i.e. if I go into download mode and reboot, then the download mode screen is now my boot logo). After the initial POST, the lineage boot screen shows fine, but that's some 10s later.
Regardless, the N8013 hardware does not run lineage very smoothly and Lineage is not optimized for the N8013 - aka **** battery life.
So, I decided to give Android HD Revolution 21 a shot. I used Odin and flashed "High On Android" recovery and installed Android HD Revolution 21 from my external SD card. Easy! Still doesn't resolve the boot image issue, but whatever.
Boot up and I discover that not only does MTP still not work, but neither does WiFi! Bluetooth works for some reason though. So, I took to the forums and tried to resolve the issue.
I tried flashing both sets of stock kernels from here and repeating the install process. Nothing. Additionally, I noticed in the Android Settings inside Android HD Rev. that it shows N8000, however, my tablet is the WiFi only model (N8013EA as stated on the back of the device).
So, TL;DR
-Welcome suggestions on how to resolve MTP and WiFi issues. Currently working in Android HD Revolution but I don't think it's limited to that ROM
-Welcome thoughts on how to fix the Boot Logo issue. I feel like this should be a simple fix, I just don't know where files like this would/should be stored since it exists somewhere in the partition table and now in the ROM.
Well, was able to resolve the WiFi issue by install the Boeffla Kernal from: https://www.boeffla.de/index.php/downloads/eol-kernel-versions
Still looking for help with MTP and the boot logo if anyone has ideas!
Hi everyone.
I have a ASUS TF300T for over 10 years now. It is an awesome tablet and the last 4 years it has been my daughter's playing buddy. Around 6 years ago, as the performance of the tablet was horrible, I started to inform my self of what I could do to have a usable tablet again and that was when I found out about custom roms. So I did my research, unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP bootloader and flash Timduru's ROM to it. It worked like a charm. Great performance and usability for the almost dead (thanks to ASUS) TF300T. Around the time Timduru's last ROM for this tablet was released, was also the last time I upgraded the TWRP to the latest version which I don't remember its version. Now to my problem... Last week my wife told me she couldn't get the tablet to work. As I looked at it, what I saw was the ASUS logo (with the device is unlocked at the top left corner) and then the Timduru's logo comes up and hangs, after a while it reboots to the ASUS logo again and just does everything the same over and over again non stop, can't even shutdown the device. If I hooked the usb cable to a PC it does the same but after 6 reboots the device shuts down. Then I tried to enter recovery so, volume down and power it on, the menu comes up as normal but now I tried to enter TWRP. Splash screen appears and reboots to the ASUS logo again. Then Linux pinguins show up at the top left corner and enters again to the TWRP splash screen and reboots. Now that's where I'm stuck at. Can't do anything. Volume down and power up don't do anything either, it always goes straight to TWRP recovery and reboots again. In the PC the Android device shows up until the tablet restarts again. Also tried adb but it always stalls or gives some strange info until the tablet restarts again. So my question is... I anyone able to help me restore this back to funcionality? My daughter would really appreciate your help guys! Thanks!

Hi there, I'm sorry for my late replay, because I'm not often been looking up here. Here is my advice:
The only way to get out of the loop you should do a "Buster99" to get back on Stock Rom Jelly Been 4.2.2. After that you'll be able to install the CR again. Therefore you should look up all my posts within this thread over the years. There you'll also find the right links leading to Buster99. Don't forget you need "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to do a Buster99.
All the best and good luck, ebonit
PS: Here is the link to the Buster99 solution: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
