Guest xudsa II USERT Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Update-Hi guys, switched to a HTC Desire Z so I can't help much anymore, sorry. Due to the current state of the forum (no search, messed thread), I am half-blind, and have decided to make a thread about the Manual Installs in ubuntu Firstly, my hats off to Almar, Sandor and PHJ, for their hard work. Changelog: 18/4/2011 Revised Instructions for Beta 3, FroYo! 17/4/2011 Revised Instructions, included instructions for ext4 installation in My Storage. 6/3/2011 Topic Opened You need an Ubuntu distrubution to do this, here You can use VMWare or Live CD or, if you want, a full installed ubuntu, live cd instructions here Contents 1. Getting Started 2. Installation of Beta 3 Packages and updates in ubuntu, in My Storage 3. Installations of .sh scripts in ubuntu 4. How to root your phone 5. All in one package for latest Beta 2 build ________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Getting Started First of all, you need the following: 1.A copy of UBUNTU running. (Via VMWAre, LiveCD, or an OS) 2.An Beta or Beta 2 installation file (Obviously!) 3. A patient mind and hand (this will come in handy!:() Open your Beta/Beta 2 ZIP file, and extract them into your My Storage. Then follow the steps below. ________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Installation of Beta Packages and updates in ubuntu, in My Storage This is assuming you have booted in Ubuntu, either in VMWare or via LiveCD or as an OS. This instructions are for Beta 3 only. (From quato7906, here) Summarised instructions: 1.Use GParted Partition Manager and format your My Storage or SD card into two partitions, one FAT32 and the other, of your choice (ext2,ext3,ext4). Label them. (In this tutorial, I will use DISK as the FAT32 and DISK1 as the ext partiton.) 2. Copy your installation file (Be it, ext2.tar.gz or O2B2Update.tar.gz or your own, I will use TEST.tar.gz as an example) into your FAT32 partition. 3. Open terminal, and type in "sudo cp /media/DISK/TEST.tar.gz /media/DISK1/". Wait until the "ubuntu@ubuntu" text appears. (Remember, replace DISK, TEST.tar.gz and DISK1, as your own!) 4. Type in "cd /media/DISK". A "cd /media/DISK{:content:}quot; text should appear. 5. Type in "sudo tar xzvf TEST.tar.gz -C /media/DISK" 6. That's it! You should have a working distro. If this is your first time, open "default.txt" and replace the "set CMDLINE" to this "Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 init=/init"" ________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Installations of .sh scripts in ubuntu Again, doable from Ubuntu live cd. (From llaa51, here) 1. copy out o2b2update.sh to ur home folder in ubuntu 2. open o2b2update.sh and edit the 2nd line to /media/disk/system/lib/hw 3. in terminal type "sh /home/(user)/o2b2update.sh" ________________________________________________________________________________ 4.How to root your phone Instructions for install of .sh scripts above (From turnado1975, here) z4root here 1. Install z4root from the market, or use the All-In-One package ________________________________________________________________________________ 5.All in one package for latest Beta 2 build (Highly unstable, recommended not to use) Included in this build, 1. Rapid81's 3D/2D Library 2. Gruven's CPU patch 3. JIT patch 4. Keys patch 5. Latest updates, 3/3/11, 3/8/11. 3/9/11, 3/19/11 from PHJ. 6. Root, via z4root. I am not liable for any damages incurred. Installation instructions: 1. Install the UPDATE.sh script with the instructions above. (3. Installations of .sh scripts in ubuntu) 2. Install the UPDATE.tar.gz with the instructions above (2. Installation of Beta Packages) 3. Copy zImage file to My Storage 4. Enjoy! Download removed due to unstable performance. Work In Progress.... ________________________________________________________________________________ Hope you will appreciate my work, first post ever in Modaco!

Guest lemalin Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 can i create the partition in my storage with a size of more than 1024MB? Yes, you can but rather do not go above 2 GB. I have made 4GB partition initially but with this setup I was not able to install any apps from market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yes, you can but rather do not go above 2 GB. I have made 4GB partition initially but with this setup I was not able to install any apps from market. I had 6GB and no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xudsa II USERT Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Sorry for the late reply, away at overseas, i haven't tried up to 8 gb, I am currently using 1GB, but will try later. In theory it should work, because there are android phones with more than 8GB of ROM (Nexus S, 16GB ROM).

Guest xudsa II USERT Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 @Vinicius Oliveira Thats weird, I have used the package 6 times already and it always worked. 1.Did you apply the update from here?? 2.Are you using Beta 2?

Guest urkopi Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) i did that mate but i keep getting : Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. try passing init= option to kernel. You have to see where the partition is mounted, you have to go to Partition Manager and select the extX partition, and normaly the parition is mounted at /dev/sdbX, You have to put the number X here: mmcblk0pX.
