Ubuntu partition dump from Stock Atrix

---

The link below is a dump of the /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 partition.

It is the entire ubuntu "distribution". However, it is not an OS per say. It is just an environment compiled and setup to run on the "android linux". Everything just runs from a second X session started on top of the native Android Arm linux redirected to the HDMI display port.

The partition has about 800MB in size and is mounted under /osh once the system boots.

Something worth to note, is that the webtop X session does not consume any RAM or system resource at all till when the phone enters RM_SM_DOCKED mode. While the phone is on RM_SM_MOBILE mode, that X session is complete shutdown.

If you use a linux or MacOS, just uncompress the file with bzip2 -d , then mount like this:

mount -t ext3 -o loop,ro ubuntu.img /mnt/loop

Of course, make sure the directory /mnt/loop exists.

Also, some directories, like /etc will not be available or will look like bugged/corrupted, it's because they are actually just a "link" to the /etc from the root partition. I can provide a dump for that partition as well, if that will help with any development. Let me know.

Have fun and post us if you find anything special.

A bit further: There's a chroot involved! And the adas account password is randomly set!

... Buuuuuuuuut, Motorola was smart and got rid of telnetd, etc in this production script...

See /usr/local/sbin/webtop-product.sh.

It's the script that makes the "production" webtop - and removes the fun stuff via dpkg in the process.

But here's a hint - if you can run an app within Webtop, get it to run /usr/bin/.lxterminal - they HID the terminal app.

EDIT: Hm. /usr/local/share/motorola/fireboxmake/ has some interesting readmes... on what .sh does what in /usr/local/sbin.

EDIT2: Check out what's in the OSH_tools.tgz. Motorola left a bootloader BIN in there along with some interesting flashing scripts for both Webtop and the Android side... and some interesting config files in nvflash...

Also, can I get the root filesystem for /etc/?

I have not downloaded the archive yet but did a search for RM_SM_DOCKED on google and came up with a hit elsewhere.

I can't post the link to this directly due to it being one of my first posts. It's only one of 3/4 hits on google.

I am guessing it is in the archive you posted.

uskr,

Excellent work & post, have a Thanks.

It's a shame that the webtop will probably flop (and I sure as heck won't buy one for the price they're asking). Here's to hoping a dockless hack comes up.

uskr,
Great post, Thanks

You will notice some files are just links to /system/etc. You can find the /system dump on another thread on this forum. If you cant, let me know and I will get a link here.

Can someone take a good look at the contents of:

/usr/local/share/motorola/fireboxmake/OSH_tools.tgz

There's lots of interesting stuff in there & I am completely unfamiliar with tegra and Motorola cruft.

uskr, appreciate if you could also get us the root partition dump

Actually, sorry for not posting this before. But right after I posted the first dump I noticed that pretty much everything on the root partition is just a link to /osh, like you can see here:

But for some reason when I dump the /osh partition, a couple of those folders come corrupted. Let me know if any of the folders you are interested are damaged on the dump and I will post a tar.bz2 like I did with /etc
