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...

BT5 on tablet:





[ Requirements ]

• rooted device
• Some apps from Android Market:
  • Android Terminal Emulator
  • androidVNC
  • [optional] highly recomended keyboard: Hacker's Keyboard
• 7zip (for PC), for extracting the files
• around 3.3 GB free on external sdcard (/sdcard/ext_sd/)

[ 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
   
   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)
   
   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

Cool beans trying it out now

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!

Works fine on GB flyer

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.
