hi guys here is BACKTRACK 5 on HTC Flyer


most of the work was done by anantshri, i have only modified it slightly so that it will works properly on HTC Flyer... dont forget to thank him!

i will try n keep it short and simple... this is running in chroot environment and doesnt boot as a separate OS... it can be accessed through shell or via a VNC client..

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

[ 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 device to PC and mount USB storage
  4. create a folder named 'bt' (without quotes) in the root of ur external sdcard and copy the bt.img in that folder
  5. also place the file bt5_flyer_shell_scripts_v1.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_flyer_shell_scripts_v1.zip stored in root of sdcard
  8. once ur phone reboots into OS just check the /sdcard/ext_sd/bt folder
  9. final directory structure should look like this:
    • /sdcard/ext_sd/bt/bt
    • /sdcard/ext_sd/bt/bt.img
    • /sdcard/ext_sd/bt/installbt.sh
    • /sdcard/ext_sd/bt/startbt
    • /sdcard/ext_sd/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 device and enter the following commands step by step (accept/allow any SuperUser request/popup that u may receive)
    • su
    • cd /sdcard/ext_sd/bt
    • sh installbt.sh
    • startbt
    • bt
  2. now u are in BackTrack5 shell

  3. to launch GUI (vncserver) enter the following command
    • ui
    attachment.php

    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)
    attachment.php

    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


[ Important Info ]

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_flyer_shell_scripts_v1.zip (~800KB)

  2. main bt.img

    there are two sets of files... for those who dont have a very stable connection i have provided small 50MB (x 10) packages while for others who have a stable connection i have provided 250MB (x 2) packages... both contain the same file bt.img but for the convenience of users i have created these two sets... if u have already downloaded one set u do not need the other set...


    KINDLY DO NOT MIRROR OUR FILES

    SET 1

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

    md5 hashes:

    Code: 
     bt.7z.001 f19e769bf42b44867c8bb1d9bb9c5d44
 bt.7z.002 a4dd26a98d2c6925d871fb108fb5fadb
 bt.7z.003 ecca5a5d72c449117b1d3dbc23aeb1a2
 bt.7z.004 8ad487a01e4d149f0247ad9288201f32
 bt.7z.005 adab9cb3778cd8ac89ccc0e21997c3d7
 bt.7z.006 ba6a28de70a1115dc316f45cea508215
 bt.7z.007 f59757e891631607e1a35abadb231b3b
 bt.7z.008 cdb8c28a1fbd03657bb42e8d69f0600b
 bt.7z.009 426d892f872679e3d53d0ebb0376e138
 bt.7z.010 c7d2957bc65340d967b9dd3646d7cb39


    i am also uploading a different set where-in the files are split into 250MB parts... but that upload is taking time :p


    OR


    SET 2

    these links are 7zip archives split into 250mb files, u will need to download the following:
    total size: 486MB
    1. part1
    2. part2



    md5 hashes:

    Code: 
     bt.7z.001 fea6299bfa1677bd344d478108d458b2
 bt.7z.002 b3897170d1f05dd0fb812fd092411203

I was just wishing someone would port Linux to the flyer the other day, and here it is, like magic. I'm glad we have you as a dev, you always seem to think outside the box. I'm kinda sad it came at the end of my break, but I will definitely be giving this a try next time I have some spare time. Thanks!

Very Nice........

First, I would like to show me appreciation for this nice piece of art!
Second, would it be ok if I copied the script files manually on me rooted device instead of flashing it ?

Thanks again.........

So, I can't open the second part of the two 250mg files. It tells me it can't be opened as an archive. The first part works.

Thanks a lot! I've edited the scripts a bit and managed to run this from internal sd card (my ext_sd is just 2GB). It's all working fine, when I'll get home from work I will try to find out how usefull this can be :p

PS: Never thrust a bit.ly link, it's almost always a lmgtfy link :D
