[Q] WebBuntu Post-Webtop2sd Hack on 902

---

Hi Everyone
Im trying to apply the terminal patch for the webtop. I updated my bionic to 902. im rooted and running eclipse 2.1 and just recenlty purchased a lapdock. i am trying to apply the webtop hack to enable the terminal and i am getting the fiolowing error

root@localhost:/osh# tar jxvf /mnt/sdcard-ext/mbm.tar.bz2
tar jxvf /mnt/sdcard-ext/mbm.tar.bz2
tar: /mnt/sdcard-ext/mbm.tar.bz2: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I have the MBM.tar file on my sdcard not the internal memory. i have also tried naming the file to make sure i didnt need to have .bz2 as the file extension. has anyone been able to apply this on 902? i had another bionic that i was able to push this to but that one was on 901 with a diffrent download of the file before megaupload wnet down.. i have also tried to fxz back to 5.5.893 and i still get this same error.

Below i have posted the full set of commands i ran in ADB to see if maybe i did something wrong.

Someone posted in the dev form that this works on 902. i think the file im using from http:slash slash sandbox.mindcrime.net slash ?p=137 is bad? is anyone able to verify that this file is working?

so they edited the post at the link i posted if anyone need to run this file they need to run tar xvf /mnt/sdcard-ext/mbm.tar
take the j out because it is not a bz2 file. this comes from the site i hope this helps anyone who has this problem.

I have been having the exact same problem. I downloaded the same file from mind crimes and it wasn't a bz2 file. I used 7-zip to convert it then ran again but got this:

tar: ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.dev'

I will download the original file again and rerun with out the j in the command and report back...hopefully this is it.

I have still not been able to get mbm.tar to apply successfully. I reformatted my sd card redownloaded the file from the site above... Does anyone have a different mirror for the webtop patch (mbm.tar)?

i was not able to get the TAR working i thought i did but i bricked my webtop. i didnt have webtop to sd properly configured. i found a version of the file in one of my backup locations it is the mbm.tar.bz2 file. i can upload it if someone gives me a good location to upload it.

This is a link to the mbm.tar.bz2 file that works for me. Please let me know if this link does not work, it's to my dropbox. http://db.tt/fuEKeYDs

A word of advise so you dont brick the webtop like me. make sure to erase the webtop on your sdcard and remake it if you have tried the mbm.tar file. i bricked mine by running that tar file then running the bz2 file at a later time.

I got a bit overzealous and excited...What process did you use to get webtop back working again so you could use your mbm patch? Do i jut need to go through the webtop2sd process again through the app?

Do you also have the webtop restore that was in the original post but was also a megupload download? The mindcrime mirror doesnt have that link.

i used the 902 fxz that is floating around to fix my webtop. it will bring you back to stock. it will wipe everthing but your sdcard.

But if you did not mess up your internal webtop then just redo the webtop to sd process. you should not need to repartition the sd card.
