Excuse me, but have You ever read faq or o2droid beta site? o2bupdate.sh is script which is running when booting (when put on My Storage). There are plenty of posts regarding using ubuntu, please search.

sudo rm -f su

I know that Your intentions are good, but this is not ubuntu support forum... If You answer once there will be more questions like this.

Of course it's only my opinion :P

I didn't installed it on My Storage. It's on my iGO 2GB SD card. But I'm using ext3 partition, what I made under Sabayon Linux in VirtualBox and I untarred the whole packaged under it too.

Hi Everyone,

I successfully installed Android 2.1 eclair on my internal "My Storage" device. After several trial and error installations using linux, now my android is a bit stable. The 3G and Wifi is very fast. However, the GPS is not yet working properly and of course the fixed for the camera is not yet available.

I will post here the details of how I installed on my device but for the meantime Below is the summary of how installed it using ubuntu linux.

WARNING: Please follow the instruction step by step and do this at your own risk.

1. Mount your device (i8000) USB cable to your PC. Goto your WinMobile Start->Settings->General Settings->USB Connections->Mass Storage and select internal "My Storage".

2. Modify your "My Storage" partition table. By default, the factory partition settings is below. Do not change and mess your partition 1 and 2 because these are already existing partition. If you are not familiar with the linux fdisk tool kindly use Windows and this free application partitioning tool EASEUS Partition Manager . If you can backup the 1st and 2nd partition to an external harddrive or other SD better so. You can easily clone this partition.

1st Partition - Fat32 (Usually visible as My Storage in your Windows Mobile File Explorer) DO NOT CHANGE THIS.

2nd Partition - Fat32 (CUBIC CLI hidden partition) DO NOT CHANGE THIS.

3rd - is unallocated

3. Modify the unallocated partition.

1st Partition - Primary Fat32 (Usually visible as My Storage in your Windows Mobile File Explorer) DO NOT CHANGE THIS.

2nd Partition - Primary Fat32 (CUBIC CLI hidden partition) DO NOT CHANGE THIS.

3rd - logical extended ext2/ext3 (1.2G) (please put a partition label for this as Android so that ubuntu will automatically mount it as /media/Android rather than random /media/<somecodes>)

4th - logical extended fat32 (remaining and I advise to put a partition label for readability purpose)

5th - logical exteded (optional it's up to you)

(Take note: You can use Windows and EASEUS partitioning tool for steps 1 to 3)

4. Boot your ubuntu if possible just install ubuntu virtual machine on VMWare player. Mount your handphone and set the USB connections as mass storage.

Normally, ubuntu will automatically mount it. Your ext3 partition will be mounted to /media/Android. However, sometimes ubuntu will mount it as read only.

You have to unmount it and remount it again. But before doing this, verify first if you have write access on the mount /media/Android mount point.

Try creating a file on it using touch command. Otherwise you will need to manually create a mount folder /mnt/Android and the following commands below.

# sudo su -

# umount /media/Android

# mkdir /mnt/Android

# mount -t ext3 -o rw /dev/sdc5 /mnt/Android

5. Goto /media/Android or /mnt/Android. Extract the following files below in chronological order.

# cd /media/Android or /mnt/Android

This archive file ext2.tar.gz can be found from the beta1024.zip/beta512.zip from this website http://o2droid.phj.hu/index_en.php.

# tar zxvf ext2.tar.gz

This archive file contains the 2d3d driver patched and can be downloaded from http://rapidshare.com/#!download|482l3...ate.tar.gz|1480

# tar zxvf o2bupdate.tar.gz

This archive file contains the patched for 3G and can be obtained from http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2droid.zip . This zip file also contains the latest zimage file.

# tar zxvf o2bupdate.tar.gz

# From this points your ext3 contains the OS android.

6. Edit the default.txt you obtained from beta1024.zip of beta512.zip. "NOT" the file inside "o2beta" directory because this directory is no longer needed in our

our installation procedure. Your default.txt should contains the config value below:

Set kernel zImage

Set ramsize 180*1024*1024

Set mtype 1626

Set ramaddr 0x50000000

Set kernelcrc 1

Set CMDLINE "rootdelay=2 root=/dev/mmcblk0p5 init=/init"

boot

7. Copy the following files from beta1024.zip. NOT NOT NOT "o2beta" files. Copy these files to first partition fat32 root folder.

haret.exe

default.txt

8. Copy also the latest zimage file to the first fat32 partition. You can obtain this from o2droid.zip <a href="http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2droid.zip" target="_blank">http://o2droid.phj.hu/o2droid.zip</a>.

9. Now you can start boot your android. From windows mobile, goto Start->Settings->General Settings->USB Connections change it to ActiveSync.

10. Goto Start->File Manager->My Storage and run haret.exe and "chill".

ive been asking about this for ages and no one seems to answer it. the reason i ask about it is because for some reason whenver i put the update on the root of my storage then run haret, it wont update. dont know why. so when i update i do it manually using extracting it on ubuntu. but now i dont know how to run the .sh file.

Battery fix, charging fix, sleep fix.

Please all wait for new beta files and don't ask about it. When it will be ready and tested it will be released.
