[MESSAGE TO MODS, I could not include urls so have added spaces to pass spam filter.. please change?]
Well now we finally have root on our shiny devices I decided to crack open
the beers and get to work getting debian running on the X10..
the process is actually pretty straight-forward.
(as it turns out the x10's kernel already has support for most things needed
such as the ext2 filesystem)
-- step 1--
firstly we need to create a debian image for the phone, there are a few already out there but you can use the following to create your own
Code:
apt-get install debootstrap
dd if=/dev/zero of=debian.img seek=749999999 bs=1 count=1
mke2fs -F debian.img
mkdir debian
mount -o loop debian.img debian
debootstrap --verbose --arch armel --foreign lenny debian [ht]tp:[//]ftp. de. debian. org/debian
umount debian
how ever if you would prefer to use a ready built one (recomended for less techies ) you can get one from: rapidshare. com/files/161776007/debian-armel-750.img.bz2
(had to include spaces in the url to pass spam filter, could a mod please change this?)
now copy this too the root of your sdcard and make sure its called debian.img
-- step 2 --
I have created a script to do most of the other work for you:
Code:
alias b=busybox
export PATH=/data/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
b mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
b mount -o loop,noatime /sdcard/debian.img /data/local/mnt
echo 'nameserver 4.2.2.2' >data/local/mnt/etc/resolv.conf
b chroot /data/local/mnt
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
put this in your sdcard to.
-- step 3 --
Finally in any terminal emulator cd to the location of the startdeb.sh file
and do the following:
Code:
chmod 777 ./startdeb.sh
./startdeb.sh
!! and your done !!
you should now be within the debian system.. i suggest running
Code:
apt-get update
and installing what ever apps you want
(my first choices were gcc, python and tightvncserver)
[ EXTRA ]
now your on debian you can use
Code:
apt-get install tightvncserver
to get the xwindow system and the vnc server
now set both your HOME and USER variables
Code:
export HOME=/root
export USER=root
(or what ever user you choose)
and run
Code:
tightvncserver
(your also gonna have to download lxde and do a few other bits of setup
have a look around for X11 "Ported" to android post on these forums)
you could also change the config so that the desktop is displayed
at the right size for the screen
just use a vnc client from the market to connect to your GUI
Kool. I had ubuntu running on my htc touch pro once but wasnt really worth having apart from the cool factor. This looks promising.............. ill wait a while till I play around, the rooting factor is still new and I dont see the major gain to root yet.
Way awesome, thanks for the guide.
Nice work, will give this a try after I get the R2B rooted on my phone.
Next step for me would be to get the arm cross compilation toolchain and start porting goodies for the android....
wow this looks sooooo awesome!! any screen shots? don't make me google
when i try mounting debian.img using ur cmd i got following error
Code:
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
seems my mount requires -t parameters, so i try again, but still having error
Code:
mount -o loop,noatime -t ext2 /sdcard/debian.img /data/local/mnt
ioctl LOOP_SET_FD failed: Device or resource busy
please help thanks!

Are you running the script as root? If you not you might wanna try that.
This may sound kind of noobish, but would this be a dual-boot (I.e. running both android and debian on different boots of the phone, or would this be debian, until you reset the phone to be android again.

And I assume you're either running the script or doing those commands manually? Including the mknod part?

i run the script and found no luck, so i type in both adb and console, of coz mknod is done, either mkdir /data/local/mnt is done or not gives the same result, tried also mounting without loop,noatime and gives
Code:
mount: Block device required
would it be rooting problem or mount problem?
also tried losetup -d /dev/loop0, no luck
Code:
losetup: /dev/loop0: Device or resource busy

i see this to be a remounting of debian system on your phone, no modification on your phone so no, no dual boot
anybody can post a video tutorial please?
and the debian and android works together or just debian?
thx
A video tutorial would be amazing.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I will upload a video tutorial asap but at the moment I am having to use a 3G dongle for my internet (just moved out, am poor.. all donations to [email protected] on paypal ;-)) also this runs along side (or on top of) android so you'll still be able to get your texts and calls.. finally there are already a lot of debian apps compiled for ARM systems so have a look to see if the app you want is on apt (make sure you've run apt-get update first) please pm me if you have any problems
Thanks,
Sam Aldis
I tried to run it on the latest firmware and it seems loop device kernel module is not available in it.
Also the script is not fully functional :
you need to 'mkdir /data/local/mnt/'
also it's '/data/local' instead of 'data/local'
I haven't spend much time on this, so it's not working for now on my phone.
So help is welcome
Quick question:
Has anyone at all gotten this to work?
nope. I doubt it.
mod edit:..
sorry for stupid me, i don't know i can create loop device more than loop 0
i create loop0,loop1,loop2,loop7 and try mounting again, it success this time
so here is my script:
Code:
#!/system/bin/bash
export PATH=/data/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:$PATH
if [ ! -d /data/local/mnt ]
then
mkdir /data/local/mnt
fi
if [ ! -b /dev/loop2 ]
then
mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
mknod /dev/loop1 b 7 0
mknod /dev/loop2 b 7 0
mknod /dev/loop7 b 7 0
fi
if [ ! -d /data/local/mnt/bin ]
then
mount -o loop,noatime /sdcard/debian.img /data/local/mnt
fi
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.2" >data/local/mnt/etc/resolv.conf
chroot /data/local/mnt
mount -t devpts devpts /dev/pts
mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys
rm -f /etc/mtab
ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
Edited:
I just brick my device after some more work, every command even ls do no output, reboot machine freezes at sony ericsson logo, now i am re rooting the device......
Edited 2:
Should be not the problem of debian, seems working fine.
{ LONG POST WARNING }
{ NOT FULLY WORKING YET}
{ NEEDS A LOT OF FURTHER DEVELOPMENT }
Hey everyone I had thought of making this Dual Booting system work along side recovery… because initially (with FreeX10-alpha) it was not possible to have both recovery & dual boot...
Thank you zdzihu & jerpelea for your great work on FreeX10-alpha, which booted off SDCARD… I got inspiration to try and make this work for FreeX10-beta4 based on the amazing work that u guys did! Thank you jerpelea for all your feedback on my repeated messages when I was testing this a few months back (hope I didn’t bother u too much with questions )...
zdzihu & jerpelea u are truly LEGENDS!!!
[This is just my personal opinion] Really hoping that some devs can take interest in this to provide compatible files (ramdisks, system files) for this to work… may be as an add-on to their main roms… please don’t keep bothering devs to create ramdisks for booting off SDCARD… they are already very busy trying to make our X10 better with faster and stable ROMS/MODS/etc… this is just an additional feature…
The basic idea was to use the chargemon booting scripts provided in FreeX10-alpha and to try and make FreeX10-beta4 to boot off SDCARD…
Initially I used the img files which came with FreeX10-alpha and wiped the image to then put FreeX10-beta4 on it… while doing so I realized that all of the symbolic links were not getting copied correctly (obviously)… so I started from scratch with blank ext2fs images…
Later I thought of using clean/base nandroid/recovery backups as they are already working/preconfigured system of FreeX10-beta4…
Following is a small How-To on converting NANDROID/RECOVERY images (with yaffs fs) to ext2 fs images keeping the symlinks intact!!
I have used Ubuntu for these steps.
I have attached blank_files.7z which contains precompiled ext2fs images:
system.img [size: 256 MB]
data.img [size: 512 MB]
cache.img [size: 128 MB]
To resize or create newer ext2fs images:
[APP] Windows: Create Your Own Data.img Maker Application, +/- From Existing data.img
U can use the commands provided there even in linux to create/resize these images...
We will keep the NANDROID images at:
Code:
/home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/
and EXT2 FS images at:
Code:
/home/user/ext2fs_imgs/test1/
while temporary mounts points will be made at:
Code:
/home/user/mntpts/
We will be using unyaffs from here:
[How-To] Extracting/Accessing Recovery/Nandroid backup (.img) files
Extracting files from the nandroid/recovery backups:
Code:
cd /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1
mv system.img /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/system/
cd /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/system/
sudo unyaffs system.img
mv system.img ../.
mv data.img /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/data/.
cd /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/data/
sudo unyaffs data.img
mv data.img ../.
mv cache.img /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/cache/
cd /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/cache/
sudo unyaffs cache.img
mv cache.img ../.
Loop mounting ext2 fs files:
Code:
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop,rw,noatime,nodiratime /home/user/ext2fs_imgs/test1/system.img /home/user/mntpts/system/
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop,rw,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /home/user/ext2fs_imgs/test1/data.img /home/user/mntpts/data/
sudo mount -t ext2 -o loop,rw,noatime,nodiratime,nosuid,nodev /home/user/ext2fs_imgs/test1/cache.img /home/user/mntpts/cache/
Recursively copy all files (preserving symlinks) from extracted yaffs images to mount points
Code:
sudo cp -r -p /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/system/* /home/user/mntpts/system/.
sudo cp -r -p /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/data/* /home/user/mntpts/data/.
sudo cp -r -p /home/user/nandroid_imgs/test1/cache/* /home/user/mntpts/cache/.
Unmount the mounts:
Code:
sudo umount /home/user/mntpts/system/
sudo umount /home/user/mntpts/data/
sudo umount /home/user/mntpts/cache/
Ok now that the ext2fs iamges are populated with working files copy them onto SDCARD…
I have placed it at:
Code:
/sdcard/FreeX10
lets move on to the chargemon script...
This is, as of now, based off xRecovery chargemon (modified from FreeX10-alpha)
Code:
#!/system/bin/busybox sh
# modified chargemon for recovery + dual boot from NAND/SDCARD
/system/bin/charger
cat /dev/input/event2 > /dev/keycheck&
sleep 3
kill -9 $!
# intact recovery
if [ -s /dev/keycheck ]
then
# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
# Umount MTDs
umount -l /data
umount -l /cache
# Extract recovery
cd /
rm -r /sbin
rm -f etc
tar -xf /system/bin/xrecovery.tar
# Umount system
umount -l /system
chroot / /init
fi
echo "check if reboot into SDCARD OS was called"
if [ -e /data/local/tmp/rebootsdcardos ]
then
echo "Booting from SDCARD!"
# FreeX10-alpha code follows with slight modifications!!!
# remount rootfs rw
mount -o remount,rw rootfs /

Recovery is intact so u can get into recovery the normal way… (press/tap back key after seeing SE text logo)
OS on NAND (normal system on MTD) will boot by default…
To reboot into OS on SDCARD issue the following commands in terminal emulator/adb shell:
Code:
touch /data/local/tmp/rebootsdcardos
reboot
NOW the OS should start booting off the SDCARD…
It completes commands in chargemon and then BootAnimation can be seen…
BUT HERE IS THE PROBLEM!
Check LOGCAT here: http://www.mediafire.com/?phxm3uqzp0dzzhb
here is wht J had to say:
jerpelea said:
as you can see in logcat
1.your prelink is not ok
2.you don't have something ok in initrd
3.you dont have all permisions ok on data
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
From my limited understanding we yet have to make a proper ramdisk (sdcardos_ramdisk.tar)… I feel the init.rc file has to be changed especially the following line (based off FreeX10-beta4 ramdisk):
Code:
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /system rw remount
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /data nosuid nodev
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /cache nosuid nodev
As for Multi-Booting:
We can keep adding different sections to chargmeon:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rebootsdcardos1
/data/local/tmp/rebootsdcardos2
etc…
OR
possible solution for having both recovery and dual boot
and similarly keep adding ramdisks in NAND /system:
Code:
sdcardos1_ramdisk.tar
sdcardos2_ramdisk.tar
etc
So we can have as many OS/ROMs on SDCARD as u have free space… though we need to make specific ramdisks for each…
Hope this was slightly useful… and waiting for feedback from advance users on how we can get this working....
Lol, you're working very hard Doom! Keep going!
Doom! You are making enormous progress and helping a lot with Other Devs.
A Combination of a good rom and one of these additional Dual Boot would make x10 better than any Android mobile SE could deliver.
Thank you and I really pray to give SE a run for their money!
for someone thats always saying hes not a developer you sure as hell seem to know what your doing!
Keep up the great work, i hope to see this working flawlessly that would be awesome to be able to dual boot.
Whats the next steps in the project?

well i am not exactly a ROM developer and dont know much about how to compile libs/sources/etc...
next step is that we need to make compatible system files & ramdisk (init.rc) for dual booting

I am also excited buddy..... Once i get through my experiments i will surely like to focus on this as this will allow us to have more then one version of ROM on one machine.
Based on your first post
all i can get is we are getting the boot animation but not going after that.
i would suggest following things based on my experiments with ubuntu work.
use loops above 10 coz i suspect some loops are already in use during my ubuntu boot i am watching that loop7 is already created so i would suggest avoiding it.
also as we have been adding debug "we have reached here" style code can we do the same here that might help us.
also can we find any debug-able place i mean place where we can track the progress to get the position inside the rom so that we can understand except logcat where we are.
any progress or hurdles buddy.....
i am eager to test this .....

Ohk so since we now have one more option in Xrecovery i am back to my old suggestion.
however this time i will post my thought out in open so that if someone has required skills and time then they can work on .
I have an idea of using xrecovery as a boot menu.
process would be
1) Xrecovery to start everytime. (this needs some consideration.)
2) To have a timeout value if any key pressed before that then remain in menu otherwise boot to the os.
3) inside menu we should have options of all O.S. / ROM (os coz my intention are to run linux off dualboot) available with selection options.
4) ON selection it will just be the same procedure as already using in xrecovery 1.0 to handover the command to a script. and let it load.
5) boot menu if possible could be controlled by an outside file which we can edit just like grub.conf in linux.
Note : This will requires good understanding of booting process of X10i and c skills as xrecovery is written in complete c.

point no.1 is easy... not an issue..
abt point 2 i think that too would be possible... a while loop with sleep function & wait for input/keppress
pt3 the newer xrecovery v1.0.0 already has something similar may be we can look into it to add "Boot NAND system" as first option
point no. 5 if possible WILL BE BRILLIANT!!!

Hi guys..
Sorry If I'm posting this in the wrong section...
But can anyone guide me how to extract System.img from a Stock ROM as I'm planning to cook a custom ROM
If you would like to see some of my previous work for SGS1 look at my signature
You can try unyaffs in a cygwin environment or wunyaffs which is for windows.
For some reason I get access violation errors with stock roms for the Tab.
With HTC roms it was possible to dump the system.img with magiciso. Again with Tab roms this no longer works.
In CWM, after mounting /system:
make_ext4fs -l 568m -s /sdcard/system.img /system
This gives you a sparse system.img which you can turn into a Linux-mountable ext4 image with simg2img
Sorry i writed on wrong thread
In Linux you can do
mkdir tmp
sudo mount -o loop -t ext4 system.img ./tmp && cp -r ./tmp/* ./system/
sudo umount ./tmp

See the message I posted up above? You have to run the system.img through simg2img to make it mountable.

You could always create a regular (non-sparse) image file using dd then mount it.
Command should be similar to ****, though I'm not sure if the busybox version of dd accepts bs=1M, it may require bs=1048576. (That's MB converted to B) And count is the number of MB you want the image to be.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=squeeze.img bs=1M count=512
Then mount it like this:
Code:
mount -o loop,noatime -t ext4 /sdcard/debian/squeeze.img /data/local/debian/
*Pulled from a thread I wrote awhile back, you may be able to get away without using the "noatime" option.
Can someone post the script that mount sdcard at boot?
I created a kernel but it doesn't mount sdcard at boot, it's possibile to create the script in system/etc/init.d that mount sdcard at boot?
Try busybox mount while booted to see if it's possible to mount SD Card with a script. SD card mounts automatically if it's FAT32 and it takes a little vold.fstab configuration for other file systems. You should check franco's or LG's kernel to see how to automount sd card from kernel.
This is taken from CM7, put it in init.d and see.

RE-EDIT: The CM7 script doesn't works, in the second reboot the sd wasn't mount
The CM7 script mounts a2sd apps (apps2sd script). The second one should be like
Code:
mount -o remount,r[b]w[/b] -t [b]fat32[/b] /dev/block/mmcblk0
. As I already said, it's probably a kernel problem, vold mounts sdcards automatically.

That part of the script mounts an ext partition if one exists.

As Ianis G. Vasilev said there are various ways to mount the SD card but I suspect the issue is with the kernel you've compiled. Flash francos, if it mounts then your kernel is bad. Run logcat to see what's going on.
**EDIT**
I didn't see Ianis post before I began mine...
so with
mount -o remount,rw -t fat32 /dev/block/mmcblk0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the sd will be mount?
EDIT: I need a script that mount sd without write or read permission, infact if i use root explorer and I go to sdcard sometimes the sdcard folder is blank, so the sd didn't mount
Read permissions are needed to see what's on the sd card. For a read-only mount replace rw with ro:
Code:
mount -o remount,r[b]o[/b] -t fat32 /dev/block/mmcblk0
I would advice you to use dmesg(should be enabled in kernel) to see if your phone detects the card and logcat to see if any errors are preventing your card from mounting.
Now i create script
#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw -t fat32 /dev/block/mmcblk0
mount -t vfat -o /dev/block/mmcblk0

Hi all,
Just upgraded my Mi8 with the new Miui 10 based on Android P.
I've TWRP-3.2.3-0918 as recovery and rooted with Magisk-v17.1
As root, in the same condition until the previous version (Android Oreo) i was able to remount the /system with
# mount -o rw,remount /system
but in this version i get an error
'/dev/block/platform/soc/1d84000.ufshc/by-name/system' is read-only
i've tried many ways but nothing ... i'm unable to remount the /system for writing ... see below my failed attempts

Hi poloolop,
i thank you for the try but ...
1) i have already the dm-verity disabled
2) i need to remount the /system from the shell command line inside the smartphone and not from the adb connected from a pc
hope that someone can solve this question ...

thanks for trying but ... i've the problem with the twrp-3.2.3-0918 so it's a twrp newer than yours ... i also I noticed that the adway apk is able to mount and change the hosts file using some function of magisk (that i already have in my rooted system) so it's possibile to do but i'm unable to find how to do !
waiting for someone that have this knowledge
I had problem with newer recovery and only flashing older recovery solve it. But in my situation even Adaway couldn't change hosts file.
mount -o rw,remount /
mount -o rw,remount /dev/root
all geany is simply
No sry that doesn't work.. You have to flash the dm-verity-zip

Doh ...
At first i thinking that you was joking ... i have done an ssh connection to my MI8 and i checked if the things are as you write and ... not ... i can confirm that the /etc is a symlink to /system/etc and /system is an autonomous mount point as you can see below
Code:
:/ # l -d /etc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jan 1 1970 /etc -> /system/etc
1|:/ # mount | grep system
/dev/block/sde48 on /system type ext4 (ro,seclabel,relatime,discard,data=ordered)
so this confirm what i told you (and you can see that this is mounted RO) but ... i've done a try and ....
Code:
:/ # mount -o rw,remount /
no errors !
but if i try to create a file in /etc
HTML:
:/etc # touch thorezz
touch: thorezz: Read-only file system
1|:/etc # >thorezz
/system/bin/sh: can't create thorezz: Read-only file system
so the remount of / work but the /etc that it's in the /system don't become RW
and i can confirm that your suggestion don't work ...
thank you
P.S: all this with user root and /etc in writable by root ... just in case you think about this
Code:
:/etc # l -d .
drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Mar 21 14:38 .

I did
mount -o rw,remount /system/app/NQNfcNci
And it worked. Specify full path not only /system.
And you are right, ext4 option is not needed.
I found the solution
I know I am a bit late, but I was having issues modifying stuff in the /system/priv-app folder and every attempt of any mount call described up until now did NOT work.
BUT I found the solution: since I am using magisk (and you do too), the /system partition is somewhat "remapped" to /system_root.
So the solution is easy: just mount /system_root and you will be good to go:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system_root
