Ubuntu, anyone got it working - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got all the files downloaded, but it doesn't want to boot. Any devs know anything?
From my fist to your face, enjoy!

Where are you running into problems with this?

Out won't boot up at all. I run the final command to boot Ubuntu, an it fails.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!

I'm not 100% sure how you're doing it but i'm using terminal to run
# sh ubuntu.sh
get a whole bunch of text in the terminal window, press the home button then go into VNC and connect.
I guess I should also ask which guide you're following

Terminal Emiulater

Does anyone know if this works on HD2 Android:
http://www.android-devs.com/?p=33
I did all the steps and have downloaded the Terminal Emulater from the market, but when i type SU in it nothing happenes,Im trying to install Armenian Language pack on it.
BTW Im using Mdeejay Froyo Sense v.23 clean #15.
If you type in su, at first it looks exactly like this $ su.
After you hit the enter key, there should be only a hash #.
If there's only a hash, you're now working with root rights.
on the Devs web site its mentioned>(then wait for the superuser screen and press yes)
this phrase is confusing me since no Superuser screen is coming up.

That is no problem because are phones are already rooted so you don't need any superuser. If your terminal look like I described it, just go on. I'm pretty sure your phone will give out errors if it doesn't work.
ok thanks I will give it a try as soon as get back from the work.
I see just $, No #.
Just try it, no matter what key it shows.
ok I will thanks again

1. Get a copy of Super One Click 1.7.0
2. Turn off Phone
3. Start Super One Click BY RIGHT CLICKING ON THE PROGRAM AND SELECTING "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR"
4. When the program starts, check rageagainstthecage exploit
5. Click Run in Super One Click (do NOT turn the phone on yet)
6. When Super One Click says "waiting for device", plug in phone and turn it on
7. Wait for a while while the phone boots up. Tons of messages will go by. Sometimes it looks like it is hanging. It is not
8. Finished! You should be nice and rooted.
GREAT !!! Thanks man
Glad I could help .
hi,
i'm doing this in ubuntu, running as root. I've done it the way you are saying as well.. However, I keep getting stuck on the "chmod rageaginstthecage", it sits here forever.
It sounds like your running it it windows... there is not 'run' in ubuntu superoneclick 1.7, this is Root or Shell Root?
hmm... any ideas? thanks

I am able to do all that also, but can't backup and can't install anything. I get error can't mount data/recovery and aborts.
ok... so i'm trying for the 100th time to install this silly thing... and for some reason... when i try to run it... it kicks me out...
i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong...
when i attempt to pause the install process... i get a screen full of if i type adb without an argument...
if someone could gimme a hand with this or tell me what the hell i am doing wrong... i'd appreciate it...
i wanna try to get laidaxin's cm7.2 working on my phone...
i dunno if it matters... but i am attempting to install from a windows xp machine...
Hello!
First, Thanks to all people around this work, specially Laidaxin for good work.
Well, sadly... I also still stuck on install the FlipSide recovery option of the first post... I did all te proccess by eleven times, testing different details that may be not clear for me (as run as administrator, with abd CMD screen closed and opened, if the version of adb never shows me the logs that appears in cmd screenshot... several times I got on the FlipSide the screens talking about su and later 2ndinit script got superuser permissions... but the screens of cmd generated by the script are so fast that was not able to read or check if the 2ndinit script was succesfull or if there something else that may be failing/missed... so by now still no luck)
as a resume, in hope that may help to test from new friends around here:
1) I reflashed my FlipSide to stock with sbf from the other thread tutorial (I use sbfflash in linux and everything works fine, using Power+UParrow in keyboard to enter in bootloader mode my Flipside)... and then I insert my SIM and SD card wiped with only the CM7-Laidaxin.zip file on it, ...complete setup as minimal possible in order to be able to set USB mode to memory access, and turn on usb development in applications menu.
2) Then I ROOT with SuperOneClick version 2.1.1!!! and connect my phone in normal use screen home (NOT bootloader mode!) with UBS debugging turn on and with USB mode set to memory card access (NOT Moto Portal No Media access...), the other methos with Z4root and newer versions of SuperOneClick FAILS for me...
3) I then try to install recovery with Laidaxin installer and procedure, but as I said after some attemps I still not success in get the recovery working, also try diferent ways... removing battery then reboot with VolumeDown pressed, Turn off normal and repeat, turning ON AND AFTER see the Red Moto press the VolDown key short time, later maintained it long, then pressing it several times, etc...
So, I made this resume in order to share info from my side and hope to save some time to other friends that may want to test the CM7 from Laidaxin, than in fact seems like a GREAT work for our Flips... so please if any help to get this fully working and tested will be very gratefull...
Best regards!
Ok... since I still can't get the automated installer working... I would really appreciate if someone could direct me to the forum/website that that installer came from... I would love to try to push it myself... but I'd have to do some reading...

Hi!
Ok, I am not totally sure, but I suspect that this is the original link of this recovery, however, just now I need to go to my work, so, I do not have chance right now to check it, but hope may be usefull.

Best regards!
You should be able to install it like this:
- Extract everything in the "data" folder into a folder called "bootmenu" on your sdcard
- Then use either "adb shell" from a command prompt, or Terminal Emulator on the phone should work:
Code:
su
cp -R /sdcard/bootmenu /data/bootmenu
cd /data/bootmenu
chmod 0755 *
./install.sh
And it should say "Install complate...."
You can also remove the folder(s) if you want:
Code:
rm -R /data/bootmenu
rm -R /sdcard/bootmenu
Then to get into it, reboot the phone and once the notification light turns on, hit volume down

I ran into the same problem but mine also stopped me from installing any other rom to test, run, or otherwise. I'm at a standstill in terms of helping test.

laidaxin's rom replaces this recovery with one that doesn't quite work perfectly yet...
You should be able to boot back into CM7 and re-run the above commands and it'll work again
That doesn't change anything for me... it still won't unmount system...
I think if I read the output from the script install...
Our recovery installs to system... since Motorola doesn't love us

Maybe try "rm -R /system/bootmenu" then install it...

It does the same for me, which is what's keeping me from trying CM7, as I have no way to restore my current nandroid. The defy installs their recovery to /system as well and I gather that it works as intended, I wonder if it's that we need our own build of CWM. Do we know if whoever built CWM for the defy has their source tweaks available?
Unless you have something irreplacable in your /system or /data... I would just have RSD lite and an sbf ready... and take the plunge...
Because....
When you use CM7... apps2sd moves not only the apk... but also the lib files to the sd card...
As long as you switch the 'network operator' to GSM only (in wireless and networks)... laidaxin's kang runs beautifully... much much faster than stock
Sent from my Filpside using Tapatalk
Link2SD has no problem moving the lib files in our stock rom... I'm no stranger to reflashing with RSD Lite, it's just tedious to get everything set back up JUST right, and this is exactly the kind of thing nandroid is great for.

There are no spaces. I re-checked it multiple times.
I'm able to still get mine. I just can't change my apn files that led me to finding how to get my Msl. I need to know how to access the apn file. Not the apn.xml files and oldapn.xml file. If you read them files in text editor it has a comment in green (NOTEPAD++) Tell you it has to match file in directory common/something I can't recall. Any insight?
