I'm trying to dual boot CFW and Android and I'm looking to use Gparted Live to partition my sd card. My issue is when I boot into GpartedLive on VirtualBox, I dont see my sd card. I installed the usb extension but it doesnt show. Anyone have a solution here? Thanks.
You need to add the usb device in the settings

There are more full-featured partition tools on Windows than Linux. I've been using DiskGenius for long. There are other tools like Aomei etc, also worth trying.
can confirm gparted live on vmware windows works just fine.
someone also has made a script to make the partitioning bull**** easy to do. sorry for the language, it was really a pain to do. Sorry i forgot the link for the script
Oh, I forgot you want to make an sdcard with bootable Android. In that case, forget about GUI tools like gparted. You should use fdisk and gdisk instead. Booting Android requires a special hybrid MBR partition scheme, which is not not suitable for normal user. You can take this script as an reference, it could run from a ubuntu livecd.

Maybe try running it from the USB port via a USB memory stick?
Install backtrack on a USB pendrive:
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/02/29/usb-backtrack-linux-installation/
then boot from USB (Fn+F10 at boot time).
If you need wifi & 3G connectivity once backtrack has booted, have a look here:

Thank you in any way man you are fantastic.
install ubuntu on sd card is like a pendrive?
Is there any way to access files on the SDcard from within Debian, or transfer files between them?
Anyone know?
Oh also, if you start Debian, and then press back and the terminal resets, how do you get back into Debian? I mean, since Debian is still running (somewhere).
I'm guessing not too many Debian users on XDA, eh?
Debian or your desktop environment rather should recognize both partitions automatically. If it doesn't happen, find the device (sdb2 or something like that) and mount it yourself.
If the xserver crashed, log in at the console and run startx. Press Ctrl+Atl+F7 if it has not actually crashed.

Which folder is the sdcard in?
(It's not in mnt, that folder is empty.)

Alternatively, how do I mount it?
I did a "find ./" and came up with nothing:
Any more info if possible?
O.k., i've been looking for almost 2 weeks and cannot find anywhere how to do this.
Now on apple devices you have UDID faker.
I have found android ID changer but it doesn't seem to work.
e.g.

So basically, I got myself banned on purpose from a storm8 game to "hide links" from other gamers. needless to say it backfired and they went all nazi on me.
so i have rooted my Xperia X10a with superoneclick, I have the following apps downloaded:
Android ID changer
Titanium Backup
Busybox installer
AppAdmin
Superuser
Advanced Task Killer
Droid Tweaker
Link2SD
Now i understand that i may have to partition my SDcard.
I have also on my computer downloaded ADB, android-sdk_r12-windows, and java EE 6 sdk.
But for some reason when i have tried to follow the directions on how to partition your sd card, my phone will not boot up in recovery mode.
SO:
if failing being able to create multiple droid identities, how do I change my existing so that i can start a new storm8 game on my existing device???
by the way, i am definitely not a total noob, but them again i aint a software developer either. I know what probably needs to be done, just have no clue how to do it
I have a ubuntu server running samba, can I mount this on the Ouya so it appears to be local?, (thinking roms) - to save having to use USB sticks.

Also if you use XBMC you can mount the shares there without having to worry about it... now if you are wanting to mount the share so that emulators and other things can use it ( aka creating a symlink folder on sdcard so it points to the share that way ) youll need to compile the kernel and run that.
I think atm no one is daring to release much anything due to the fact that there's a lack of a real recovery method incase something really goes wrong.
I've seen all to well the horrors of the XDA community when something goes wrong... and I'd prefer my body not to be tied to a steak and burnt to a crisp
Busybox supports NFS mounting, this thread has some information about it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718719
I'm at work right now, so I can't test it.
Hello everybody, i want to wipe everything in my OnePlus 2 with the internal storage because it is full of "Junk" . So i decided to do it with TWRP 2.8.7.0 and as usual to mount my phone at my PC and copy any ROM that i prefer and install it. The problem is that TWRP after i enable MTP Mount my Computer doesn't recognize it. I am hearing the classic sound from windows but i never see my storage. I also saw the Drivers installed first. I tried to reboot at the recovery again and do again Mount process but nothing. I didn't yet wipe anything because i want to be sure that TWRP can mount my storage to copy any ROM inside. I know that is possible to sideload but why Mount doesn't work?
My current Windows is Windows 10 and i have succesfully ublock my bootloader and Rooted my phone and now i am at Kingmercian's HydrogenOS v0.23 (android 5.1.1).
Anyone knows any solution? Maybe Windows is the problem? The only thing i didn't try yet is to disable Drivers Signature of Windows.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Solution found, i a very sorry for the thread. The solution is to change the driver type at the device manager of Windows. My oneplus 2 is shown as an Acer ADB device and i change it. See the image below:
