Hello,
I'm trying to have a fully functional version of android (dual boot) on my asus TX300CA.
This is what i have do :
Windows 8.1 is still on first HD (SSD as GBT).
I have convert the 2nd HD from GBT to MBR, and installed an android x86 with grub.
To boot on android, i just have to change boot priority in BIOS, it launch GRUB, and android start.
I know this is not the most proper way, but it is the easiest for me. (i'm not familiar with linux)
my problem :
If i install "android_x86-4.3-BWiFi-20131024.iso", everything work fine, but i don't have the gapps installed. I can connect via adb through Wifi from another computer, and doing the following command "adb -s 192.168.1.82:5555 push gapps ./system"
But the result is something like "failed to copy gapps/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script ... folder or file don't exist blablabla.. "
This error make me think i cannot write on the system folder of the ASUS TX300CA ... because it found /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script and try to copy it, the error come after.
So, first question is, Is there another way for adding the gapps to my x86 android 4.3 ?
And, to be sure, where should i have to put my gapps folder on the remote PC that run adb ?
and, another of my try was to install "android_x86-4.2.2-engBWiFi-20130620.iso", in this case, everything work fine, with gapps, except the Wifi ... very poor signal and it don't want to connect correctly ... seem to be a know issue with kernel 3.8.
So ... is there a way to fix that ?
For sure, the ideal way will be to find an iso with gapps already installed, and a working Wifi ... but it look like something not possible !
Thanks very much for any idea, or hepl
this is the error :
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb connect 192.168.1.82
connected to 192.168.1.82:5555
C:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices

google/android/updater-script
failed to copy 'gapps/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script' to './system/M
ETA-INF/com/google/android/updater-script': No such file or directory
Nobody can help ?
Thanks

If you want to install Debian, just follow this step:
1. Download this : megaupload.com/?d=EV1SOKWJ
In the debian folder you should change the installer.sh and bootdeb files by this one
Download them:
installer.sh : mediafire.com/file/6j99zi0g1lu4oxq/ashu11x_installer.rar
Bootdeb : mediafire.com/file/osshm94mo1qhd65/ashu11x_bootdeb.rar
2. After that, copy the debian folder unzipped to the root of your sd-card
3. Than open Terminal and type:
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/debian
sh installer.sh
bootdeb
cd /scripts/onetime.sh
sh onetime.sh
That's it!

How to Install Ubuntu on Android!
Posted on February 1, 2011 by admin
For those of you who want to install Ubuntu on your Android smartphone or tablet device, here’s our universal guide on how to do it. (This guide is based off my original guide at NexusOneHacks.net)
*Note – This guide should work on most “rooted” Android smartphones/tablets with no further modification.
We will be running Ubuntu “chrooted” under Android OS, which just means that we will be running a “virtual” Ubuntu OS that runs on top of the Android OS. Your Android OS will work fully (e.g. your phone will keep working normally) while the Ubuntu runs on top of it.
First of all, you should have your Android device “rooted” because you need root access to run Ubuntu off your Android.
Second, your Android OS must support loop devices. Most newer Android smartphones/tablets come with this support so we can mount our Ubuntu image as a loop device. If not, you will either have to build your own kernel with support for loop devices or you can try an aftermarket ROM for your phone as most aftermarket ROMs come with support for it.
For example, G2 Phone and Nexus One both come with loop device support so there’s no need for us to compile a new kernel for it but for others, you may have to.
How do you know this? Just try installing Ubuntu and if it doesn’t boot, your Android device needs a kernel with loop device support. Otherwise you are fine.
How to Install Ubuntu on Android! (Windows)
First, download the following Ubuntu.zip file (from a preferred mirror), unzip and copy over the whole ubuntu directory to the SD card of your Android smartphone/tablet device:
Download ubuntu.zip http://downloadandroidroms.com/files/get/Nhi9EJWSw7/ubuntu.zip
(Turn USB storage ON then copy over the Ubuntu folder to the root directory of your SD card.)
(What it looks like after copied over to the SD Card)
1) Again, make sure you have your Android smartphone/tablet “rooted”!
2) You must have Android SDK installed or have access to adb.exe.
3) Make sure your Android phone/tablet is in debugging mode. Go to Settings->Applications->Development and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
4) Connect your Android device to your computer via USB cable and set the USB mode to “Just Charge”.
5) Your Android device should be recognized as “ADB Device” under Device Manager. If not, install appropriate drivers.
For all HTC Android smartphones/tablets (such as G2 Phone, Nexus One), you can download Windows drivers here:
HTC Windows 64-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
HTC Windows 32-bit driver download – Click Here to Download Driver
6) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search programs and files.
7) Browse to your SDK directory where you installed the Android SDK:
8) Then go into platform-tools directory:
9) Type “adb devices” to double-check your Android device is recognized.
In this example, I used an HTC G2 Phone, which shows up at “HT09SR204261″. This is fine. However, if you get an empty device, that means you didn’t install the drivers for your phone/tablet correctly. (Go back to #5)
10) Type “adb shell” to enter the Android shell.
Then type “su” to enter super user mode, then type “cd /sdcard” and “cd ubuntu” to enter the ubuntu directory in your SD card of your Android device.
11) Next, type “sh ubuntu.sh” to run the script which will basically get your Ubuntu image ready to run on your Android smartphone/tablet.
If you get error messages, don’t worry and keep going.
12) Type “bootubuntu” to enter Ubuntu. (Next time you enter Ubuntu, you just need to type “bootubuntu” from your /sdcard/ubuntu directory, no need to run ubuntu.sh again.
If you got “[email protected]” at this point, congratulations! This means your Android OS comes with loop device support and Ubuntu is now running “chrooted” on top of your Android OS!!!
However, if you failed at this point, your Android OS probably doesn’t support loop devices, try installing another ROM or compiling your own kernel with loop device support.
How to Install Programs on your Ubuntu!
Once you’ve got Ubuntu running on your Android device, it’s time to install some Ubuntu packages(or programs).
Type “apt-get update” to update, this is the first thing you will need to do before installing any new programs.
How to Install OpenSSH-server on your Android Ubuntu!
Type “apt-get install openssh-server” to install OpenSSH-server. What is OpenSSH-server? If you want to connect to your Android Ubuntu via an IP address (and SSH into it), you will want to do this.
How to Install TightVNCServer on your Android Ubuntu!
If you want to access the GUI of your Android Ubuntu, you can install TightVNCServer, which allows you to access the Android Ubuntu via Android VNC app on your Android smartphone/tablet or even access it remotely from your desktop computer.
Type “apt-get install tightvncserver” to install.
How to Fix Language Issues
Above is after I connected to my Android Ubuntu via SSH2. Well, for some reason my default language switched to German. To fix that, just type “export LANG=en_US.UTF-8″:
How to Install LXDE!(optional)
Next, we will install LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment). Although we can use Ubuntu’s default GNOME (and trust me I love that), LXDE takes up less memory so our GUI access will be faster.
If you like GNOME, you can skip this step though.
Type “apt-get install lxde”
Next, let’s setup xstartup file so that when TightVNCServer is started, the LXDE runs instead of GNOME:
Type “cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup”
Then type:
cat > /root/.vnc/xstartup
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
icewm &
lxsession
Then hit Ctrl+D twice and enter to save the file.
How to Start TightVNCServer!
Next, let’s start the TightVNCServer and connect to it from our Android phone and my Windows 7 desktop:
Type “export USER=root” and “vncserver -geometry 1024×800″.
Here, you can change the resolution settings 1024×800 to the resolution of your liking.
Now your TightVNCServer is ready to accept any incoming connections from your phone or computer. Just point to the correct IP address and use port number 5901 to connect.
On your Android smartphone, just download the free app “Android-VNC-Viewer” and set the IP address to “127.0.0.1″ and port number 5901 to connect.
And you should be able to get into your Ubuntu like this:
You can also use desktop software like TightVNC Viewer and connect to your phone.
Do “ifconfig” to find out what your IP address is in your Android Ubuntu.
In this example, mine was connected to “192.168.1.131″.
Then connect to “192.168.1.131:5901″ on your TightVNC Viewer:
Here’s LXDE running on my desktop off my G2 Phone’s Ubuntu:
Troubleshooting
Ubuntu not running?
Try typing “cp” under Android shell and if you get an error message, it means you need to install Busybox. Install Busybox and try again.
Final Thoughts
As said in the video, there will be a lot of improvements in the speed of Android devices in the near future. This year, there will be a slew of dual-core 1Ghz processor-equipped Android devices being introduced. Which just means our Android Ubuntu will run faster and faster.
My Nook Tablet just updated to the dreaded 1.4.1 version which makes sideloading pretty difficult.
I was reading this article which has steps to sideload apps onto the 1.4.1 NT without rooting it, and pointed to downloading this script on the XDA forums which will push the apk onto the plugged in tablet, as long as the apk is in the same folder as the Sideload script files.
So, steps 1 to 5 weren't a real problem but its Step 6 that I'm stuck on.
There is a Sideload BAT script which seemed to run (its disclaimer is that it will only run if it finds an Android device -- which is a clear indication that it could find and recognize that my Nook Tablet is plugged in). It even says C:\Sideload>adb wait-for-device. However, when I try to tell it to install the apk via Command Prompt (I type in: adb install Amazon_Appstore-release.apk ), it returns "error: device not found" .
Just for good measure, I also type in C:\Sideload\adb devices and it returns: List of devices attached .
I'd greatly appreciate if somebody could help me with this--I really have it up a wall and would just like to put this problem to bed. Thanks!
i'm having the same exact problems here! are there any specific drivers to install?
Yep, I was still fairly a noob at this when I first posted but have learned a lot ever since. Here's what you want to do:
(btw, I factory resetted to 1.4.0--you may need to as well):
When it says "no device found", it's corresponding to this command line : adb install whatevernameofapp.apk . I interpreted "no device found" to mean that it does not know what "adb" means in the command.
For it to recognize all "adb" related commands, you have to have the USB drivers installed. Look for tgps_launcher.apk on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354487. That will set you up with having you Nook to accept third party applications + having it on UBS debug mode.
Then, install the drivers (I saw this YouTube walkthrough because it is NOT intuitive and you want to be sure you're doing it right , it's not the way you would traditionally update drivers for a mouse or keyboard; here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtGveN7jbzs )
After that, I followed the instructions on this article, made a folder in C:, called it sideload, and also pasted an .apk. Now, when I do the Commant Prompt, it says this: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/2914/cmdnookadb.jpg . While, the transfer was successful, I haven't been able to see the app on my tablet. Does anyone know where I can find this (data/local wasn't found when I connected the tablet to my PC either, and it wasn't on my SD or so). Is it because I'm still on 1.4.0?
Let me know if you get it working all the way!
I followed all those directions exactly. I had received the No Device Found error. I followed the Youtube directions to add drivers and it seems like I did it correctly. I am seeing the android device on the device manager.
I tried running the script again and got the same error! I'm now stuck!
I had the amazon marketplace already installed and was using it successfully until my nook updated to 1.4.2. I thought I had ES File Explorer downloaded but for some reason I can't find it! So I now I am trying to sideload ES File Explorer this way but it wont work!
0x2080
^ put that in %userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini
Can you give me more specific instructions on how to do that?
FYI - I have ver 1.4.2 and I am NOT rooted. I have already enabled unknown sources and downloaded the amazon market. I was installing 3rd party apps fine before the update.

Moved To Q&A
Hi - new to all this so please bear with me. I have an Archos 101 g9 250gb model. I updated all the stock firmware and as you may guess found so many problems with the tablet after upgrading to the latest that the tablet became almost unusable. So i did a bit of research and decided to try and root it. I downloaded the SDE files and installed them no problem. I then downloaded the rooted archos firmware - 3 files to be extracted and copied over to the archos, but here was the problem, when i tried to copy the extracted files a dialogue box pops up telling me that i only have 299mb available and the files to transfer are bigger - where has all my gb's of space gone??? I went to the recovery menu and formatted my archos but it still only shows up as being 299mb even when linked to my laptop in 'my computer' !!!
Please help someone as i am going round in circles and not finding a solution.
Thanks in advance.
Hello, and welcome to XDA
You are trying to install it wrong. I know it sounds logical to try and do it as upgrade, but SDE loads the image from your flash memory.
Restart your tablet back to stock. If you did not remove android kernel, normal restart is only thing required.
We need to use ADB to move the file, so download android sdk, or adb only zip if you find that somewhere. Then enable usb debugging on settings->developer. then install these drivers http://www.archos.com/support/support_tech/updates_adb.html?lang=en. You might have to open device manager and force the drivers to install. http://www.ehow.com/how_6299394_force-windows-use-different-drivers.html
Now move archos.ext4.update to the same folder with adb.exe (it is in platform-tools in android SDK), open commandline and cd to directory with adb.exe
as an example, android SDK is in C:\android, you do
Code:
cd \
cd android
cd platform-tools
And then you move the archos.ext4.update to /data/local with following command:
adb push archos.ext4.update /data/local/android.ext4
notice how i dropped the update? It works better for me without the update in the end, but that is just personal experience. Then restart your device to recovery, go to sdk and choose: Remove Android Kernel. After that, Flash Kernel & Initramfs. It opens a new driver. copy there zImage & initramfs.cpio.lzo. Then press ok and device and wait for a moment. After that you can just reboot. Now you should have root.
So...some mistake in update-script with setperm on stock slot and now I have a device:
- device is turning on
- clean, pure unregistered stock firmware
- adb work (pull/push)
- adb shell/install doesn't work (bin/sh not found)
- adb backup/restore doesn't work
- i have no safestrap (its missing after unsuccessful flashing)
- com.amazon.dcp.apk renamed, so future ota doesnt help
- wifi bluetooth doesn't work (no mac-address)
- I can copy files to/from sdcard
- i have su and daemonsu in /xbin (maybe....)
Any method to install apk ? Something like "file:///sdcard.1apk" like other android device, or maybe through silk debugging I could make same html-code to access sdcard? or fastboot flashing something to restore to stock. If I could install safestrap or es file explorer its would be great...
Thanks. Sorry my English.

As a note and just to clear it up a little, should someone find this while researching. When i was looking for this command and found the answer elsewhere, it wasn't quite clear on where the APK was taken from. It's from the system you issue the command from, not the device where you want the APK to be installed.
So for example. If you have the APK on your harddrive (D:\) in windows, you would issue this command in the command line:
adb install D:\APK_to_be_installed.apk
Adb install doesn't work, I already write this.
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a tablet on Amazon, which is slowly gaining a lot of fame for its really affordable price .Unfortunately I was unable to find information on the specific rooting procedure for this device. I hope someone knows how to recommend a way to solve the problem, thanks to everyone anyway
PS: I have already tried several OneClickRoot applications like Kingo Root, KingRoot, Framaroot and 360 Root.
Tablet information:
Tablet name : H7 pro
Brand name : Haoqin
Device model : H7_EEA
Android version : 9
Android security patch level : August 5, 2019
Kernel version : 4.4.189
Build number : Winnovo_H7_V1.7_20200406

Hi,
Unfortunately I didn't even found the firmware file for your tablet so I doubt someone will be able to root it successfully without those files.
Have a good day

My POV: Those so-called One-Click-Rooters all are crap. Most of them are heavily outdated, not applicable on devices with newer versions of Android as with Android 9 GO what is installed on your device. For example KingRoot you tried only may work on devices with Android versions up to version 5 & Framaroot you also tried only may work on device's with Android version less then Pie.
And worst: They may even inject trackers as it's reported in WEB.
In short: You have to root your device's Android manually by yourself, of course only if supported by OEM/Carrier. To verify this boot into device's Recovery and look for option "apply update from adb".
If NOT present then simply stop further reading.
How-To:
In Android's Settings->Developer options enable "USB debugging"
Install ADB-driver on your computer and make it systemwide accessible, means add its location to PATH environment variable and re-boot computer
Download SuperSU Pro
Rename the downloaded ZIP-file to update.zip and move it to folder where ADB-driver is housed
Make sure your Android is charged over 60%
Connect your Android device with computer via USB-cable
On computer open command prompt: [Win]+[R], input cmd and press Enter-key
Run commands - one by one
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot recovery
Don't close command prompt window!
In Android's Recovery menu select option " apply update from adb" and confirm by pressing power button
On computer run command
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
The zip.file will be sideloaded and written in your Android. The process will take quite a long time, so please enjoy yourself with something during the period. When it completes, you can see something like "Install from ADB complete" on the screen.
As last step on computer run command
Code:
adb reboot
Close command prompt window
You also may delete file update.zip: it's no longer needed
I hope I've made it clear to you.

Hi jwoegerbauer , thank you very much for your timely and detailed reply, sorry if I did not answer immediately.I tried with your suggestions, but when I do this step, it gives me an unrecognized device error (in fact the adb devices command give me an empty list) .Checking on google, I noticed that it is a driver problem and then the phone is not recognized in recovery mode but, always on google I was unable to find a guide to solve the problem. On the android developer site I downloaded a file zip called "usb-driver", but when I update the drivers and set this folder as a directory it gives me this error: "The specified folder does not contain a software driver compatible with the device. if there is a driver in the folder, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64 systems "
I hope it is not my mistake or that it is something resolvable anyway, I wait and trust in your further clarification if possible
@nubrox99
The driver package usb_driver_r12_windows.zip you downloaded isn't the expected one, it's only meant to be explicitely used with Google devices. Typically the USB-driver gets downloaded from OEM's/Carrier's website. If not provided by them, then the Universal ADB Driver should get installed.
