Hi, I have made a Multiboot USB-stick witch contains Win 7 install, Ubuntu Live, Hiren's and many other distros. But is it possible to some how move the files from the external SD-card on my android phone and make the computers boot directly from the phone?
Can you in that case force the phone to use the right usb-mode so that the computer recognizes it as a ordinary bootable USB-stick?
I saw some old post from 2009 where some user managed to get a computer too boot BCD from the phone. But the catch was that he had to click the "mount usb" on the phone directly after the PC started booting. And many computers may have passed the booting point before the USB-mode had finished mounting.
I tried booting Damn Small Linux from my Supersonic earlier with no luck. Android requires certain drivers to mount and the BIOS typically has the bare minimum to boot from USB, DVD, and HDD.

Ah I'm sorry. Needed to sleep some more.. it sounds like that would be difficult to do though. You would need the phone to be mounted as USB before the computer even started booting. That's way beyond me though, good luck.

It seems feasible. Never tried it..
But, i would start by looking for an app called unetbootin. Its a free app that allows you to build a bootable flash drive. I've used is several times with actual flash drives. As long as your device is setup to allow the pc to mount it as a disk, in theory it should work.
As far as android accessing the disk after its been formatted, i have no idea.
I boot in with dual sd and yumi. But I think my boot file configuration is wrong or what..cus I'm trying to boot spotmau 2011. Which is unlisted iso. Anyone can provide a small bootable file so I can try boot it..

I am running Bamf 2.0 Android version 2.3.4, HTC sense version 2.1,with Imoseyon kernel version test 7.
I can not get my windows computer to see the phone. There appears to be a driver issue. I have tried everything I could find on this issue and nothing has worked. Please help!

Yeah I have been having the same issue installs everything when plugged in except MTP driver for the device which will not allow you to properly mount the phone to access sd card. Have been looking for hours and have not been able to find anything either.
Some people have proposed a solution in the BAMF thread of selecting the Internet passthrough when plugging in, letting it install drivers, then try to mount.

Kernel Manager is one option. But there are various threads in Development that have kernels for flashing. Just download one of them and flash it.

As a Nexus 4 user, I take into note that I do not have expandable memory. When it comes to roms and backups, I tend to copy my backups and store them into Google Drive and delete them off f my device to save memory Well I've had my fun with Ubuntu for now and now I'd like to return back to Android, but because my nand is not on my device I cannot restore it. I've tried to connect my phone to my computer so I can put my nand back into my TWRP folder so I can recover back to Android but it seems that I cannot access my internal storage from neither Ubuntu not TWRP.. any suggestions?
There is a universal nexus Linux toolkit in nexus 7 android development, works for all nexus devices. You can flash your backup with that, or another ROM.

Right now I am using the Nexus Root Toolkit, and I did make a backup through the program before hand, but I cannot perform the steps as it asks for. I've tried flashing stock through the program as well and I currently have no luck doing so. I have yet however to try ODIN, I may download it and see if I can get somewhere.

So since beaups has announced that s-off for 2.06 will be for Linux only, a lot of people are preparing by either trying to set up a Linux partition or Live DVD/USB. I just thought I'd make a thread for general info and help getting it working properly. I'm not going to go super in-depth with this because there's a plethora of information online this is more just for some tips to get you started.
Disclaimer: Make sure your computer is backed up before doing this. You shouldn't run into any problems that will screw it up, but you never know what could happen. Better safe then sorry, right? If your computer explodes, it's not my fault.
Some general info about LInux
Essentially, Linux is just a kernel. Android is based off the Linux kernel, and your cable box, router, and most web servers probably are as well... And a lot of other things you might not think of.
Desktop Linux has what are called distrinutions. These are basically the equivalent of Android ROMs, just operating systems based on Linux. If you are just starting out, you probably want to use Ubuntu or Linux Mint as they are the most user-friendly.
Making the Live DVD/USB
-First you obviously need the iso. Here is a link to the Ubuntu download: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
-Unless you have a computer that doesn't support 64-bit, just get the 64-bit download. If you have a UEFI-based computer, you definitely want the 64-bit iso because it's UEFI native, which will make things easier, and you will also want to read this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
-If you're trying to boot the Live DVD on a Mac, you also want the 64-bit iso, and you need rEFIt: http://refit.sourceforge.net/
-If you just want to boot from the DVD, you can burn it with pretty much any DVD burning software. If you want to make a live USB, use unetbootin: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ or Pendrive Linux: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/usb-creator/
Installation
-If you only plan on using Linux once to s-off your phone, you don't really need to do this, just use the Live DVD.
-If you haven't already, you probably want to hook up an ethernet cable to your computer in case the wireless drivers aren't available.
-If you actually want to install it on a PC, it's pretty straightforward, just use the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option, unless you want to partition it manually with the "Something else" option (I won't go into that here).
-If you want to install it on a Mac, you will need rEFIt, which I already mentioned. You also need to add a fat32 partition to your drive that you will reformat to ext4 with the Ubuntu installer. Install rEFIt, reboot twice and then you should see the rEFIt boot menu where you can choose your live disc. One very important thing about this: If you are installing Linux to the same drive as an OS X installation, DO NOT choose the "install alongside" option. It will break your install. Use the "Something else" option. By default, Linux wants to install grub to the MBR, but you need to reformat your fat32 partition to ext4 instead and install it to that partition. Then you can just boot into it with rEFIt. The rest is pretty much the same as installing it on a PC.
Post-install
-At this point, it's going to want to install some updates and maybe some proprietary drivers it may need and that's it. Really all you need to do after this is install the android drivers. The easiest way is to use apt-get which is basically a package installer for everything in Ubuntu's software repos. Open up Terminal, and type in: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot. Hit enter, type in your password, then it will ask you to confirm and blah blah blah and then it will download and install it. That's really it. I don't know what else may be necessary at this point since the s-off tool hasn't been released yet.

After i install linux mint I restart and choose to run mint as the os. Then I get this message. Also here is the guide I followed to install mint

Windows has failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the Problem
1. Insert Windows installation disc and restart your computer. 2 Choose your language settings and click next. 3, Click repair your computer.
If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance

Yes windows will still start up and linux will still start up from my usb. Im actually on linux through my liveusb now. I downloaded the 64bit linux since my laptop came pre downloaded with a 64 bit windows 8. ALso it is a UEFI. I have secure boot disabled as well. I just am confused as to why it runs fine from my usb. But wont run when its installed to my computer.
Using Android Tools on Ubuntu 12.04
Native Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a bootable memory stick needs also to reference the repository that the tools are located.
Once you have booted into Linux, then execute the following commands from a terminal window
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

I didn't see anything about Linux only in the new moonshine thread. Is this still necessary?
If the other guy is like me rooting a phone is the absolute limit of our technical abilities. Now I have to learn to change things on my desktop? I'm grateful, but I'd rather pay for a windows version than go messing around with my desktop. I guess I'll try to learn what livecd is now.
@EvolutionXJ something just occurred to me. Since your PC more than likely has GPT instead of MBR, you may need to use gptsync to sync the partition tables. To so this, boot into your live disc, open the terminal, and type sudo apt-get install gptsync. After it installs, do sudo gptsync /dev/sda. I had an issue similar to yours trying to triple boot my netbook and that was the solution. Let me know if you get stuck again.
Also are you using windows boot manager to boot Linux or are you using GRUB (it might be lilo in the case of uefi)
Sent from my DNA using Tapatalk 2
Forget the gptsync thing, I don't think that's the issue. Don't think you would need to do that with a uefi pc

Hello!
I just updated my ubuntu to the latest version, 13.04, and I wanted to transfer some files to my Galaxy s2 (i9100). I have had problem earlier which included slow transfer speed and I got 4 dialog screens wanting me to connect both the internal and external Sd-card instead of 2.
When I tried to transfer my files to my external Sd card I got an error message,
Code:
Error creating directory: Input/output error
. I thought that it was weird but since I was in a hurry I didn't have time for it. I opened my audio map on the computer but I didn't see any files there. I thought it was just my computer being slow so I disconnected my phone.
When I later tried to listen to music I couldn't find any with Apollo so I opened a file manager and I couldn't see my files there either. I restarted my phone but the music is still not showing. I also found out that also all my pictures are gone from the external Sd-card.
The custom ROM I have is ReVolt 4.3 if that would be to any help.
That's it for using Ubuntu.Use Windows or MAC like a normal man.

Have all your files gone? If so it must have got wiped during a faulty mounting procedure, I am guessing you tried to mount the device as a USB storage device, faulty cables or improper connection have been known in my experience to do that that's why I say MTP is always safer because android still has control over the memory,unlike UMS it doesn't un mount the memory when connecting to a host device.
And personally I prefer Linux over any other OS, especially ubuntu linux.
But again there could be some bugs with the latest ubuntu.
Edit: also not to alarm you input/output error usually in linux means a hardware issue related to the external memory connected. But as I said before it could be something else like improper connection or a driver error.

Well, my photos have been replaced by some files with around 1 bytes in size and their name is similar to eachother.
I used the same cable and usb-port as before. I didn't know that you could use MTP on ubuntu. It seems like you have to install it yourself which I haven't done yet.
The weird thing is that I successfully conncted my external harddrive and it showed up on the computer and I managed to transfer some files to the computer. I didn't get any error message what so ever with the harddrive.
I have had this computer several years now and maybe it's time for an upgrade...

Replaced by small files you say? I think the files might have got corrupted, try running a disk error checking tool on your memory cards something like chkdsk(in Windows) for both your device memory, and didn't you say that you upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04? 13.04 supports MTP by default only in the previous versions were MTP a pain in the ass, we had to install the MTP library and had to install gMTP and it WAS a pain in the ass, but I haven't yet started using Raring to check how much efficient the new feature is, it will surely be polished from 13.10 onwards anyhow.
These kind of pain in the ass limitations force's me to dual boot windows with my Linux distribution(I occasionally change it).

I tried to run the chkdsk from windows 7 but after a while it just stopped. I will try again when I have more time on my hands. Maybe over night and see if it can find anything. Now my Audio map is gone and all the files in DCIM is called Q and have 0 bytes in size.
I did however find 2 albums that I had deleted myself in the .trash1000 map.

Ok I have now searched my memory with these instructions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCtbHV2RKWs. It searched the whole memory but it didn't find any errors. I'd guess I'd be best off if I formatted the card again and start over.
I also checked with "chkdsk /f :f" from the command and I got the same results.

Update: I did the online chat with HTC and tried almost everything from clearing the Cache partition to reinstalling Sync Manager for the drivers. Still not working. Funny enough it is working on my Windows 10 laptop....

Are you using the android file transfer app on your mac?
My experience is that it will only mount the extsd as a drive...internal sd needs that app, who knows why

Up until I updated to Marshmallow, I've been able to plug into my Mac and use both internal and SD card as hard drives. I've never used HTC Sync.... It still works like normal on my Windows 10 laptop.

You got lucky that it worked as a drive before, but according to google this is the standard way to transfer via mac:
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
"To transfer files, Android File Transfer must be installed on your computer"

I used the program, and yes it worked. I really don't think I was "lucky " before. Its worked from the second I got my Mac a year ago. Even HTC and Apple thinks it should recognize it. I think it might be a bug with this version of M. I'm betting they fix it.

Can you see both internal and external when you are in twrp? Should be basically the same functionality.

Honestly, I'm not even sure if I have a twrp installed. I can see both on my Windows 10 machine... I can see it on the Mac using Android File Transfer. I could plug directly into the Mac before the M update and could see both as HD's...and of course drag and drop files.
I assumed you were rooted. If you aren't, you wouldn't have twrp.
But I believe if you put the phone in download mode, you should be able to sideload files.
