hi
is there any way to load ubuntu 3 for hd2 from nand android?
+1 yes it is possibly ?
1. i copied the files on my sd-card.
2. renamed initrd.cpio.gz to initrd.gz
3. renamed zImage_htcleo_usbhost_2.6.32.9-38182-g6ad7e77 to zImage
in magdlr:
1.i go to 9.services then 1.boot setting then 2.always menu
2-i go to 9.services then 1.bootsetting then 3.ad sd dir and select linux folder
3.shut down
after power on the magdlr menu appear, and if i select boot ad nand, android will boot compeletly, and if i select boot ad sd haret will execute, but after complete loading and when mouse pointer appear, phone will restart,whats the problem?

Wrong!
haret is a windows mobile executable and it has nothing to do with magldr.

linux and android don't in the same way.
ask the cook of your android rom to enable kexec on the kernel in his next release, then you should be able to boot ubuntu from within android.
a bit like haret on windows.

is there any android build that kernels support kexec now?
and if i download it, problem will be solved?

not that i know off, so it's up to some rom chef to enable it so we can test it.

Interesting thanks.
Well is it now possible to boot ubuntu from android?
And is there a tutorial? If not, may anyone post something about that.
I'm using the Typhoon Android and it would be a funny gimick to boot Ubuntu
Ehm i read somewhere that someone booted Win98 oder 95 on the HD2 is there a Video up or a hp?
only if someone ports a similar Haret app on Android but im pretty sure theres other ways via terminal not sure
I am also very interested in a haret for Android! This would be great.
I use NO windows anymore (on any device for that matter) and would like too keep it that way
Super cool job, looks great in the youtubes...
it would be very nice to know if there's a way. thank you all
i would guess there's 2 ways for this to work. 1: from inside android after it's already loaded (like haret) and 2. from the bootloader when you first start your phone up.
i know with a PC, you can have any OS's files on a hard drive, or partition or whatever. but if your bios doesn't know it's there, it wont just go auto looking for it. it will tell you 'operating system not found' or something along those lines. now when you install an OS on a PC it updates that boot menu, or in linux the grub menu which is pretty much the same thing. there's also a program handy in windows called 'easyBCD' and linux has the 'startupmanager' respectively. so it's already been taken care of in those OS's and i gotta think it can't be that hard to get one going for mobile OS's as well.
i would think, it shouldn't be that hard to direct the bootloader at the startup of the phone, to wherever your directory for your phone's OS is located (and similarly for a secondary OS). just a matter of modifying that line so it reads into the correct directory. of course i can't program but it sounds right
非常有趣的感谢~
First off not to sound rude to anyone but haret builds can boot within magldr but a proper roof.img is needed for magldr and not windows. i dual boot sd builds and nand all the time when i use magldr but im using cLK cause i work at night and dont want to risk the battery dying on me. Also have you try the hd2 toolkit not the one for flashing clk or magldr but the that loads hbl to boot up ubuntu here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095726 just for the new ones that dont know.
It's very possible, we just need a dev who's motivated enough to create a app, or script that will execute the correct terminal codes.
Ubuntu with Android
On Ubuntu website, they claim to have Ubuntu working (in near future) on smartphomes supporting ARM. From what I gather, they install Ubuntu but only with Android system. Is anyone working on this? I use windows to sync in with all contacts and calendars, but want to do this with Ubuntu.
Hello all.
I search in the forum but I don't find the answer. Maybe no solution or my English is definitively too poor !!!
I have a computer with Linux (Ubuntu 10.10). Every time I want to make a change on my HD2, I have to reboot and launch my Windows session. But I want to definitively ****ch to Ubuntu. So is a solution exist to flash under linux (directly, with wine or with virtual machine like virtualbox).
I want to be able to flash my HD2 to return to WM6.5 or to flash the CWM recovery etc...
Do you have some answers ?
Thanks for attention.
Bye
as of now, the only way to flash rom through linux is using CWM (perhaps you'd need windows for that too).
The reason behind this is that the CustomRUU is only made for windows and not for linux.
Ive had my own tries with virtualisation and qemu but to no avail, CustomRUU needs to establish a direct serial contact with the device which is not possible for any VM in linux as of my knowledge, so the best bet is to get cLK loader, it uses userspace linux for android on nand, so you can flash recovery, rom, boot, kernel using the sdk tools of linux since it supports fastboot. after installing cLK, your phone becomes pretty close to a native linux one with the only drawback being the rom needs some changes to work with cLK but the good news is anyone can do it easily, we only need to repack the supplied kernel in a .img to flash using fastboot.
Thanks for information. I will try cLK and SDK.
I am familiar with a couple of different ways of CHROOTing linux img or ext* partitions into Android. However, since this is on top of Android, we are losing alot of performance. There is also a barrier for ARP spoofing/poisoning from that CHROOT environment.
Does anyone know a way to "flash" ubuntu to the streak? or even how to create a ROM that ONLY boots the CHROOTed image?
does anyone think it'd be possible to run ubuntu on the x8?
Since the devs unlocked the bootloader it is possible to run ubuntu...(I guess)
Wait for someone to make a tutorial or search in google for running ubuntu on other android devices!
I tried but with no luck. x8 kernel do not support loop something.. I managed to start it in command line (or I think so) but main desktop did not load. But it is possible overall on android. Tried androlinusDOTcom tutorial
I never tried, but I can't find a -convincent- reason to do it...
Why ubuntu? there are way better distros for ARM/embedded devices
Maybe try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17379419#post17379419. I used Debian from HTC G1 and ran it on X8, it is working just fine, even when I also got an information, that my X8 is not supporting loop and ext2. Maybe You'll find it usefull, because this is almost one universal way to run every distribution with prepared debootstrat image. If You have some more questions let me know.
I will try to run Ubuntu in the nearest future, but now I'm happy because of Debian running . It is only a chroot, not a full replacement of Android, but it can run most of tools.
Hey guys, i wanted to ask if anyone had managed to install windows or ubuntu images on our Defy with CM7 running on it.
If yes can u help me telling me the steps so i can make it too?
thanks in advance and sorry for my english
i heard that someone run Ubuntu on his phone, but it's very difficult to use it, because of touchscreen interface. I think that running windows is impossible on this phone, except some WP7 mods i would suggest staying on Android
Yep, I have run Ubuntu. It is basically run by mounting an ubuntu image to a loop device mount point. And the GUI is accessed using vnc. Dunno about windows!
You can also try out windows..bt its just windows 95 desktop version..
And pretty easy to achieve
