[Guest dennusb]

Are you extracting ALL the files from the archive pushfiles.zip ?? Instead of just opening the archive and running recovery-linux.sh ??

You need to extract everything to a folder, open a Terminal, and then run the commands from the folder which everything is extracted from

ie

cd pushfiles

sudo ./adb-linux kill-server

sudo ./recovery-linux.sh

done

I extracted everything and on second command i get "Sudo : Unable to execute ./adb-linux : No such file or directory" :huh:

[Guest neowl]

Are you extracting ALL the files from the archive pushfiles.zip ?? Instead of just opening the archive and running recovery-linux.sh ??

You need to extract everything to a folder, open a Terminal, and then run the commands from within gnome-terminal (Accessories -> Terminal), and do it from the folder which everything is extracted from

ie

cd pushfiles

sudo ./adb-linux kill-server

sudo ./recovery-linux.sh

done

okay, I've managed to do that, my Desire is still in Red Triangle mode, and in teminal it says 'push: files/system/bin/linker -> /system/bin/linker'

[Guest twistywizard]

Quick question regarding the Apps2SD install...

Do I need to do anything to the SD Card?? (partitioning, etc), or am I good to just leave as-is after installing the 2nd part??

Great work though Paul, very well done :huh:

I would like to know this too? Anyone offer any insight. I went into recovery mode and installed it via the same method as rootedupdate.zip. I assume this was correct?

[Guest miguelsanchez79]

As WinMo convert I wonder if rooting my desire will allow to install application on sd card?

To be honest I was suprised that it is not possible with standard rom,

[Guest dreamdealer]

I extracted everything and on second command i get "Sudo : Unable to execute ./adb-linux : No such file or directory" :huh:

silly question but i am running the 64 bit version of ubuntu, do you think that could be the problem. anyone getting the above error message on the 32 bit version. clutching at straws here..

[Guest PaulW21781]

I get this

Considerably more files than I have in there :huh:

Although... I don't understand why it can't find the adb-linux file... its there and also set as an executable according to your output :|

Maybe try re-downloading the pushfiles.zip file and extracting it to a new folder??

Sorry... I can't help much more than that...

**Edit**

I'm running Ubuntu 64bit edition...

Yes, its in post #2, Apps2SD or A2SD does this.

Some people think 2.2 will have it built in.

[Guest Silvake]

ignore that SDK thingy, really cant be arsed explaining.. i am using virtual box can like see adb-linux file with ls. can even cat adb-linux file but for some reason i cant run it says its not there. going to to take the ubuntu live cd approach see if that works. i know a fair bit about linux as well but this one is a bit of head f*uk

Try to set "adb-linux" executable bit first:

chmod +x ./adb-linux

or

sudo chmod +x ./adb-linux

if runing as unprivileged user.

[Guest Paul]

Arabic and Hebrew font support (testing) now available in the second post. :huh:

I'm running 9.10 64bit too! I think this is the problem. i'm creating an 9.10 32BIT live usb stick now with UNETBOOTIN :huh:

Hope this will help

[Guest radshag]

Hey Paul,

I am getting this

./recovery-mac.sh

error: device not found

error: device not found

I have followed the directions and am at the screen with the red triangle. Any clues?

Thanks,

Dov

[Guest thezork]

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much. Great Mannnn...

I want to ask you which langauge inside asia rom?

Can it use Thai langaugue?

If not can I use normal method like N1 to push font inside?

[Guest PaulW21781]

I would like to know this too? Anyone offer any insight. I went into recovery mode and installed it via the same method as rootedupdate.zip. I assume this was correct?

Same way I installed it (as-per instructiong on the 2nd post)...

But I've since tested by installing 2 apps, the Phone memory went down, and nothing appeared on the SDCard.

So.. any help on fully configuring Apps2SD would be very helpful indeed :huh:

[Guest Paul]

To enable A2SD just create a second partition that is EXT3.

radshag, it's not seeing your device plugged in at all... re: Linux issues, I tested on Karmic 64 bit and it was fine.

Try su'ing to the root user and running it perhaps?

P

[Guest thephreak]

damn i have this really weird issue.

i've done everything corret but now i have to select "'Flash zip from sdcard" but if i choose that i get the following back.

"E:No zip files found"

any ideas ??

Back under Recovery console I take it?

[Guest kaaspad]

Chinese input is now available - see the second post.

P

actually was looking for the Arabic and Hebrew, I have updated my translation with a file posted by dmanbuhnik on iandroid.co.il, which includes a file that adds hebrew, but haven't tested it yet. the link is: http://www.2shared.com/file/12902925/ca44a703/hebrew.html

[Guest Paul]

You sure you've copied the zip file to your SD? You didn't extract it right?

in what step do i need to copy a zip file ?

meebie i dint not see it :S

let me check again.

[Guest CeMMeL]

Hi Paul

I am trying to root with my macbook on the redtriangle when i open recovery mac.sh open with text edit and nothing happened

[Guest radshag]

I'm getting "device not found" under Knoppix 6.2. How can I make Linux recognize the device?

I have tried Ubuntu, but that gives me "adb-linux; file not found" despite that the file is definitely there.

Did you solve the device not found issue. I am getting it too...

[Guest dennusb]

I can confirm that you likely will need a 32BIT LINUX!

Wasn't working on 10.04 64Bit, is working on 9.04 32BIT!!!!! :huh:

[Guest Paul]

I will remove the requirement for a Windows machine tomorrow...
