Before I moved up to the good stuff my first tablet was a allwinner A10 and after a little messing around I had a toucscreen linux distro that I could boot right into. I know tegra is a diffrent beast all together but is their any info about getting linux running on this? I'd prefer not to chroot in but a real boot enviroment if possible. I have looked at linux "apps" but just a host of problems with it running either debian or ubuntu
With Multiboot available on the Nexus 4, is it possible to somehow Boot into a Linux distro?
I am aware of the chroot solutions, but what i am searching for is a way to boot a distro from the internal sdcard.
Curious why you would? I guess better control and privacy but does a phone distribution beyond Android even exist?
Several distros support the ARM architecture.
And phone functions?
Did anybody try to run Debian noroot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.****ubuntu or some other way how to run desctop linux with gui, or full windows on S8/S8+?
It could be powerful alternative to DEX
I would like to know if there is any utility for Android that checks the health of Shield Pro 2017's internal hard disk. I searched for a Smartmontools port for Android, but I only found versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and BSD, but not for Android.
If this is not possible, could I connect my SHIELD to the computer and check the health with a tool? Which one?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
here is also trouble shooting information

Alright I'm no expert on Android tv boxes but is it possible to flash this without unlocking the bootloader?
Like I've got a tivo 4k box that is android 9 and tivo isn't releasing updates anymore as far as I can tell. So could I flash android tv 12 or 13 on it without OEM unlock and without bootloader unlock?
With out unlocking the bootloader. Linux is going to be the best option. You can run many different linux distributions on these tv boxes. Look into kali linux for arm or ubuntu for arm. Possibly debian.
with kali live boot and a usb or flash drive. It restores a pc with black screen of death and allows access to revoer files or take over the device.
Things to note... chmod -v 7777 written before anything changes its permissions same with chmod +rwxXst or last resort chmod +rwx. Adding -v shows if it worked or not -c or -v does that.
Fsck before the path of a directory such as /dev/sda will try to repair the file system on the device listed (dev is short for device and sda is usb plug device #1)
If you put the file system with the files needed on a sd or flash drive or partition. You can mkfs.ext2 -d // /dev/ and what ever device name added to copy root directorys while making a replacement file system
dd if= insert a disk image name or a directory then type of= and insert location to flash the image to.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ and device path .. will zero a device for re write
Now if you want to edit parts of the file system then create a mount point on the same path but make a new file with mkdir -v -p /type out where you want to go. Then you can mount with files to implant or replace at the location with mount -L and the devices label/name then the paths location or /dev/sd last letter for your device and then location.
Oh and you can also mount with mount -loop and you will basically have your mount over the original one.
If you need to edit logs. type nano and the name of the file. To save what you write hold ctrl and press x then y then let go ctrl and hit enter

Android devices boot and pass permission as they pass through security. Problem is partiton 1 and partiton 3 are both partition 1 with partition 2 overlaying it. ...
This is what the gods of android use this is a tool box with magisk and pals programs https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo/com.sanmer.mrepo_111.apk
Also with a rooted device and an adroid program called termux. You can actually manipulate other androids in lots of ways. Expecially with kali nethunter on a rooted device.. or emulated rooted device like Ld player
Termux has changed the game when it comes to altering androids.

Personally.. using a linux os on a sd card to wipe android tv box is easier than finding one in a billion rom you need.
