[Q] Back Track 5 ARM in tablet, help ~thanks a lot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA-Developers!
I want to install Back Track 5 ARM in my AllWinner A10 based tablet, I followed the lesson for Galaxy and I downloaded the boot script for Galaxy and the bt5.img(3.25G). I changed some of the codes to launch BT5 in external sdcard and suit my ROM,then launched it, only to find some errors. Well, the source code of the boot script(modified by myself to suit my device) like this:
perm=$(id|busybox cut -b 5)
if [ "$perm" != "0" ];then echo "This Script Needs Root! Type : su";exit;fi
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
export kit=/mnt/extsd/BT5
export bin=/system/bin
export mnt=/mnt
mkdir -p $mnt
export PATH=$bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/games:$PATH
export TERM=linux
export HOME=/
if [ -b /dev/loop2 ]; then
echo "Loop device exists"
else
busybox mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0
fi
busybox mount -o loop,noatime -t extsd $kit/bt5.img $mnt
busybox mount --bind /dev/pts $mnt/dev/pts
busybox mount --bind /proc $mnt/proc
busybox mount --bind /sys $mnt/sys
busybox sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > $/etc/resolv.conf
echo "127.0.0.1 localhost bt5" > $/etc/hosts
busybox chroot $/bin/bash
echo "Shutting down BackTrack ARM For Xoom"
umount $/dev/pts
umount $/proc
umount $/sys
umount $mnt
when I launch the script(bootbtV) in Terminal Emulator, only to find some errors like this:
[email protected]:/ $ su
[email protected]:/ # cd mnt/extsd/BT5
[email protected]:/mnt/extsd/BT5 # sh bootbtV
Loop device exists

Well, In my opinion, according to the errors "No such file or directory", I think it is the difference between my device and Galaxy that causes the errors. In my device, the file structure is different from what the boot script means, such is the file structure of my device's root directory:
drwxr-xr-x root root 2013-01-16 11:22 acct
drwxrwx--- system cache 2013-01-16 09:51 cache

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2013-01-16 11:22 vendor -> /system/vendor
I think, the only way to launch BT5 in my device successfully is to modify the boot script so that it can suit my device, especially the file structure. But I am a green hand in Linux, I don't know what does some of the codes mean, if you are good at Linux script, would you please give me some advice?
Thank you very much!

[Q] Strange behavior with ext4 mount (root can see but apps cannot)

Hi all,
I'm just hacking at my rk3188 box, and trying to get XBMC to read my ext4 external hard drive.
However when the hard drive is mounted, XBMC only sees an empty directory!
Also, in the terminal, "su'ing" as an app user, the directory appears empty also.
This worked perfectly with android 4.2, 4.4 seems be more troublesome.
Code:

[Q] p7500 emmc bug? Odin wont flash .pit and stock rom, model p7500

Hi, someone else get this problem?
my galaxy p7500 have a peculiar problem.
it boots and works, but when i install some app or unnistal, create/delete file or do a factory reset.
all back to the old defect state, like this tab gets frozen in time.
So, i try to use odin, and then:
use the files:
P7500_P7510_android_fastboot_emmc_full_p4_16G_32G.pit
and
stock rom P7500ZTOLP4_P7500UBLP9_P7500UBLP3_HOME.tar
but when I put to flash, it goes and fail, this is what show on the tab: pls see the pics
I think I have a permissions trouble.
The tablet is working for about 10 minutes, then stop, if i check the volume space the tab freeze.
so... I'm using adb from recovery, and acessing tab's shell.
If I use : ll -a

How can I check userid memberships in Android?

As I mentioned in another thread, I am struggling to get my whatsapp chats from my phone, which I am afraid has something corrupted.
I made many attempts to fix whatsapp backups before resetting completely my phone (which of course is rooted) and installing a clean CyanogenMod, but without success. Anyway, the final summary is the following:
If I try to run the backup from whatsapp, I get a message saying "message backup impossible" (in Italian, so I cannot really tell which would be the English message)
In /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/Logs/whatsapp.log I get a message like the following: "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /storage/emulated/0/WhatsApp/.Shared/6y+pX-uxTsEsmXkUyvruzeZYE53m3KqVBYmnWWvvbjM=.tmp: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)"
So I checked what was the userid associated to whatsapp:
Code:
# grep com.whatsapp /data/system/packages.list
com.whatsapp 10221 0 /data/data/com.whatsapp default 3002,3003,1028,1015,1023
Userid 10221 should be associated with username u0_a221, and this appears to be actually the case:
Code:
# ls -l /data/data/ | grep com.whatsapp
drwxr-x--x u0_a221 u0_a221 2016-01-04 18:05 com.whatsapp
So I su'ed to this user and tried to get into the Whatsapp backup directory, without success:
Code:
# su u0_a221
[email protected]:/ $ ls /storage/emulated/0/Android
/storage/emulated/0/Android: Permission denied
[email protected]:/ $ ls /storage
opendir failed, Permission denied
All the directories in the path are owned by root.sdcard_r, as I think they should:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls -l / | grep storage
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2014-01-01 11:09 sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy
drwxr-x--x root sdcard_r 2014-01-01 11:09 storage
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /storage | grep emulated
d---r-x--- root sdcard_r 2016-01-04 18:06 emulated
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2014-01-01 11:09 sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/legacy
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /storage/emulated
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_r 2015-12-20 00:33 0
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_r 2015-12-20 00:33 legacy
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /storage/emulated/0 | grep Android
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_r 2015-01-25 22:48 Android
My conclusion, therefore, is that the user u0_a221 does not belong to the group sdcard_r; but I don't know how to check this. I know that Android does not have /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and I read that it stores this information in a database, but I wasn't able to find out exactly which database, and I am not sure that I can modify it. So... where do I find this data, and can I modify it?

[Q] Flash ROM to ClemPad Call (MTK 6582 device)

Hi, i'm Andrea, I'm 19, Computer Engineer's student.
The device is rooted and it has TWRP.
I made a backup of the original ROM (4.4.2) but i don't know how to get boot.img from the phone.
This is the Block Info from MTK Droid Root.
Code:
postimg(.org)/image/hrlwdklq9/ I'm under 10 post, so i can't post links
I tried with adb shell:

Now, which is the boot.img?
