thanks for this. I am stuck here

• Type “adb devices”, this will tell you if your phone is recognized with the ADB shell.
• If it shows the phones serial number then type the script that appears in my previous link. It might be helpful to copy and paste to make sure you get it right

I keep getting a file not found 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
root@localhost:/osh#

when i put the tar file on my sd card the bz2 extension disappears and i add it back but still no go. Any suggestions?​

oooops had to put phone in charge only mode when i connected it to adb :blink: :furious::icon_ nono2:

 

[fisch2481]

i had that same error a few times. is the mbm.tar.bz2 file on the root of your sd card? Did the ADB recognize your phone when you typed adb devices? Is your phone in usb debugging mode? and is busybox installed in the correct location?

yep just rebooted and about to remount now

 

[urphonesux]

“sudo get-apt update”

should be

sudo apt-get update

 

[fisch2481]

did you get the terminal editor to work on the webdock? That step might not be necessary.

 

[urphonesux]

yes. doing that updated the list of available programs. I have more in that list now than i did before i got it to run correctly

 

[urphonesux]

found xfce and marked all the packages to install

 

[fisch2481]

you are close!!! after that follow the link from my post to switch desktops and presto. Did you do anything different from my post? maybe you have some suggestions for my instructions since its fresh in your mind?

 

[fisch2481]

don't forget when you restart you phone you have to run this script each time: su mount -o remount, rw /

rebooting now and about to remount through adb and see what happened.

so far only the command typo for the updates to linux apps should be changed

 

[urphonesux]
