when i try to start hbl my phone vibrates two times and restarts. but it starts already with the bootanimation. then it boots back to android.
i'm using ndt miui. busybox is installed and linux image is in the root of the sdcard in linux folder.

Exact same here with Cyanogen Nightlies

Hmm... I see you are using sdcard rom, never tested HBL with sdcard roms. It seems i need to make a different installer for sdcard builds... I will try to test it this weekend, then i will know more.

For SD-Builds you will have to put the files in SDCard/[AndroidDir]/root/system/[WhateverPath]

It will get copied to system.img partition from there on reboot.
directly writing to system however, is not supported.

Same. TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 Nightly v3.3.3[2.3.4][A2SD][tytung r10].
VNC doesn't work too.

i have the same issue

czarsuperstar@gmail.com · May 27, 2011

it works for me but i get an error for the web browser. but its nice. what i did was install it but nothing happened did it twice then reboot man. and the options appeared.

Works pretty good. To all having the reboot problem, keep trying. It took me a couple reboots before it worked, but it did work. Very basic Debian OS, a little slow, but this is the first time since I went NAND Android that I've had Linux running on my HD2

Thank you dan1j3l !!!
You think you could make the Toolbox app work to run the Ubuntu.sh script in this thread:

so we could have an easy launcher for Ubuntu as well?

Not for this thread, off topic. Go ask that in Q&A. If you see no benefit to having linux on your phone then just don't use it. I'm interested in hearing what the thread is about... this app.... and not having to go through pages of peoples explanation of why this is/isn't useful to them......

no, to get into bootloader, hold the 'volume down' button down while your phone is booting up. Dont let go of the button til you see the tri-color screen, thats the bootloader screen.
The HBL (Hard BootLoader) in this app is to boot a linux image from your sd card while running Android

Knucklessg1 · May 28, 2011

Is this considered a beta for the linux OS? Some of the features didn't work, and it also seemed that the resolution was a bit off? I couldn't change the orientation of the screen either. But so far it was really nice, i like it alot! can't wait for more!

skymera · May 28, 2011

gorelshv · May 28, 2011
