[DEV] BACKTRACK 5 on SGS2 (chroot) [UPDATED: 12/July/2011]

Search This thread
Hi,
I wanted to say good work with that, but I have a problem. If I try to flash the zip in CWM, I get status 0 error and then the installation is aborted. I have Android 4.0.3 XXLPQ with CF-Root installed.

Well unzip it and copy the files included in sdcard folder to... well sdcard :p then copy the entire data folder to the root dir ("/"). After that proceed with the instructions in OP.

Remember to hit thanks ;)

Well I did copy the sdcard contents to sdcard(not the sdcard folder, the contents) amd copied the data folder to sdcard and in terminal I get bunch of errors in step sh installbt.sh .
installbt.sh[9]: /data/local/tmp/bt/busybox: not found
This one of them, theres more with different numbers in the [ ] .
Can you suggest more solutions?

Thanks.

I meant mouse and kb via bt and hdmi via usb. You need a vnc app that can handle mouse input. I think wysepocket does, not sure though.

Why would you do all this? VNC to it?

I can confirm that the zip file does not work on CWM. I'm Latest Hydrogen and Siyah Kernel, (Yes i've read the OP), and yes again. I've placed them manually

EDIT: Hydrogen ROM + Siyah Kernel (Samsung Galaxy S2), Works like a charm. good work guys. Would be happy if someone could provide more details about USB OTG with Wireless dongle enabling packet injecting and monitoring mode.

    [12/July/2011] Updated with new package (bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip) containing shell scripts & busybox

    //----[ Announcement ]----\\



    hi guys DooMLoRD & anantshri present to u:

    BACKTRACK 5 on SGS2


    all the work was done by anantshri, i mostly assisted by testing it on my SGS2 and modding it slightly so that it will work properly for SGS2... dont forget to thank him!

    i will try n keep it short and simple...

    for more details u can read the original thread at X10 sub-forums...

    [DEV] BACKTRACK 5 on Xperia X10 chroot


    [ Screenshots ]


    on startup (shell):

    shell.png



    in GUI:

    phone + BT5 GUI:

    [ Requirements ]



    [ How To : File Setup ]

    u need to do this only once
    1. download the files from the links provided in this thread
    2. extract the files using 7zip to a temporary folder (needs 3.3GB free on that drive)
    3. connect ur SGS2 to PC and mount USB storage
    4. create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur sdcard and copy the bt.img in that folder
    5. also place the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip in root of sdcard, this file has to be flashed via recovery
    6. once u verify that the above is correct then un-mount usb storage
    7. reboot into recovery and flash the file bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip stored in root of sdcard (or if u are using CWM app then just select the file for flashing and the app will do the rest ;))
    8. once ur phone reboots into OS just check the /sdcard/bt folder
    9. final directory structure should look like this:
      • /sdcard/bt/bt
      • /sdcard/bt/bt.img
      • /sdcard/bt/installbt.sh
      • /sdcard/bt/startbt
      • /sdcard/bt/stopbt
    10. once u verify that the above is correct then u can proceed


    [ How To : Launch BT ]

    1. start Terminal Emulator app on ur SGS2 and enter the following commands step by step (accept/allow any SuperUser request/popup that u may receive)
      • su
      • cd /sdcard/bt
      • sh installbt.sh
      • startbt
      • bt
    2. now u are in BackTrack5 shell

    3. to launch GUI (vncserver) enter the following command
      • ui
      uilaunch.jpeg

      now note the number N shown localhost:N
      e.g. as u can see from the above image that "New 'X' desktop is localhost:1", so N=1
      the vncserver is running at (5900 + N, N=1 ; so server port is 5901)

    4. now launch androidVNC app on phone and fill in the detials as follows
      • Nick : bt
      • Address : 127.0.0.1
      • Port : 5901
      • Password : 12345678
      • Username : <leave it blank>
      • Color Format : 24-bit color (4 bpp)
      vnc.jpeg

      inside vnc window select input mode (i personally recommend the following)
      • TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)
    5. and then press connect... now u are in BackTrack GUI!

    6. if u want to exit/close BT5 then u need to follow these steps:
      • close the androidVNC app (Menu -> Disconnect)
      • go back into Terminal Emulator app and enter the following commands
        u should be at this shell root@localhost:~#
        • killui
        • exit
      • now u will get back to this shell> #
      • now enter the following commands to stop bt and exit
        • stopbt
        • exit
        • exit
      • u can now exit the Terminal Emulator app
      • i would also recommend that u reboot ur phone

    root password is 12345678



    [ Download Links ]

    1. update.zip package containing shell scripts, busybox (which gets installed to temporary location) [to be flashed via recovery]
      this will not disturb/conflict with busybox of ur ROM/CF-Root kernel

      bt5_sgs2_shell_scripts_v2.zip (~800KB)

    2. main bt.img
      these links are 7zip archives split into 50mb files, u will need to download the following:
      total size: 486MB

    [ Tips n Tricks! ]

    1. if u have ur device (SGS2) connected over wifi u can connect to the BT5 vncserver running on ur phone!! u will just need to connect to
      <ip_address_of_phone>:<portno>

      pcbasedvnc.png


    2. most of the startup/launching commands can be executed even through adb shell
    5
    ==== Reserved ===

    few pointers as this has been asked many times

    1) Monitor Mode will not work till someone tried to compile a custom wifi drivers with monitor mode enables, in that case also firmware should allow it.

    2) Those using android-vnc-viewer and facing difficulty in navigation check various input modes.
    These 3 works the best for me.

    1. Touch Mouse; D-Pad Pan
    2. Mouse pointer control mode
    3. TouchPad (here your screen works like a big touchpad use it to navigate mouse.)

    [MOD/FIX]scripts will now mount storage on boot and path is fixed

    First the [FIX] bit

    The attached scripts change the PATH environment variable settings to include /usr/local/bin as needed this is added into the 'bt' script

    not sure if this was in all versions of doom's scripts but it's fixed in these ones where it was missing.

    *I have not gone through all programs to identify if other directories should be in path or not


    Second the [MOD]
    I have modified the 'startbt' and 'stopbt' scripts to automatically mount and unmount the sdcard, external_sd and the usb flash drives (otg cable required)

    Once Back|track 5 is loaded these are mounted in the /root/storage directory creating three directories called 'sdcard', 'external_sd' and 'usbflash'

    Since I was only really doing this as a POC, for myself and the poster above, I have not done extensive testing but so far the sdcard and external_sd are working just fine.

    Using a USB flash via this methof the flash drive must be mounted via the OTG cable and fully enumerated prior to booting or files will not display.

    one word of caution my startbt script is configred to boot BT5 from the external sdcard (edit line 5 remove '/external_sd' for default configuration)

    Full scripts with mods highlighted and underlined (simple bold didn't seem to show up much):-

    startbt :-

    $bboxpath mount -o remount,ro /system
    echo "[ Cleanup Completed ]"
    echo " "
    echo "Please reboot to properly unmount BackTrack"

    I've just noticed I have used full path's in unmounting in this last script, so if you modified the paths to mount things you need to modify these too.

    additionally I used root explorer to manually copy these to '/system/bin' there is no reason that I can think of that these should not work with the standard install.sh script but this has not been tested by me.

    Disclaimer: as mentioned above this was a simple quick and dirty POC for me this messes with files in sensitve areas of your phone, I take no responsibilty for any damage you might do to your own phone.
