How to get the developer preview image?
Deploying Image to Device
To install the Ubuntu Touch Developer Preview on your device, you will need to execute the command below. Please note, this will wipe the contents of the device so ensure you have made a back-up. To install and get updates,
run the following command: phablet-flash -b The -b performs a full bootstrap on the device.
If the device is already unlocked it will carry on.*If you have already bootstrapped once and want to install a daily just do:
phablet-flash, This will deploy the latest build onto your device. Your device should reboot into the Ubuntu Unity shell.
Note: the files are saved in*Downloads/phablet-flash.
Rolling back to android?
The Ubuntu Touch Preview image is not for everyone and may not suit your current needs (yet). If you wish to roll back to an Android factory image, follow these steps:
- Recall the version that was installed before flashing.
- Download the factory image corresponding to your device's model and version (initial table has links).
- Ensure the device is connected and powered on.
- Extract the downloaded file and cd into the extracted directory.
- run*adb*reboot-bootloaderrun*./flash-all.sh*(use*sudo*if lack of permissions on the workstation don't allow you to talk to the device).
Your device should boot into Android after the process is finished.

Mount your Android device properly on Linux.

Hi all ,
This topic is about how to mount your Android device and have it transferring files easily & smoothly using Linux on your PC.
- This topic is related to solving the unstable file transfer between the linux system and MTP file system included in Android version 4.xxx & Higher ( Starting from Ice Cream Sandwich - ICS ).
- All Android version before ICS should not continue reading , as their devices should be read as ( Mass storage Device ) , in other words , the Linux OS will read devices as if it was a USB flash memory.
- The is solution for the laggy Folder opening , Solving the problem of which the files transfer suddenly stops before completing the transfer , specially with big files such as Films , Albums ,...etc.
- I'M NOT SURE that this is going to work with all ICS , JB & Higher devices but the below was tested on a Samsung Tab 2 P5100 device running Jelly bean ( JB ) 4.1.2 official stock ROM , & The below worked perfectly for me.
- Using Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon ( MINT is based on UBUNTU ) / 64 Bit version / Kernel Upgraded _unofficially_ to the latest stable kernel release 3.9.2
1. get Android SDK for Linux from : developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Unpack it to your location
Note: if you have already downloaded Android SDK before, check that the version of SDK tools is latest.
3. turn on Debug mode in your Samsung tab.
4. run the command:
[your location]/android-sdk-linux_x86/tools/ddms
OR just open the folder TOOLS from the extracted folder & Run DDMS ( RUN it normally , Not RUN IN TERMINAL).
5. Click in menu Device -> File Explorer
Here you drag-n-drop your files to any location on your device.

Is there some kind of pc emulator that i could restore an entire phone on to it?

I have a full backup of my phone,plus samsung and google backups.
i want to restore it onto something on a pc .(it should look just like a phone with all the apps+data,files etc)
Is there anything like this?
Thank you

Android emulators for PC are x86 / x86_64 based, Android phones are ARM32 / ARM64 based. So you need on PC an emulator that has libhoudini in-built - what is the ARM to INTEL translation tool - developed by Intel.

Thank you, I downloaded and installed Magisk on the tablet and yet downloaded the link of the described "Android 10 factory image" (it's valid for my Toshido tablet too, right?.. ), then I extracted all into my pc, and copied a file named "boot.img" into my tablet as described on the thread (as I understood..)...for now I wished ask you if till now I did right.. (I didn't install the "Boot.img" file yet, because I still have to install ADB and FASTBOOT tools because I tried but my Linux OS is giving me some problems w repository 'n I'm trying to solve hoping soon...)
I'd like if someone can follow me in these steps... I hope to not annoy you I'd be very gratefull if you can do, 'cause I still have very little experience...

Sorry, I looked for the 32-bit version I supposed it was available on any architecture, but it doesn't seem to exist for me... I have a laptop with Linux OS on 32-bit Hardware, then I can not do anything? Thank you anyway
