I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR DEVICE GETS BRICKED
Alright, I have been working on porting Ubuntu Touch to our lovely Evo 3D's. I will be posting my work here and will change the thread once I get it out of alpha. As you can see this is only recommended for devs or people that know how to use Linux just now.​

A: Sure! I have a github where I upload my source code, feel free to fork and submit pull requests.
Requirements
Ubuntu FS - (raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip).
Decent knowledge of Linux.
Guide
1. Download the Ubuntu FS & shooteru image
2. Backup your phone.
3. Wipe everything (Wipe data/factory reset + dalvik cache, and your ext4 partition).
4. Format your sdcard to have two partitions - one Fat32 (for android) and one ext4 (for Ubuntu)
4. Turn off your phone, insert the SD-card into your computer.
5. Transfer the shooteru image to your SD-card (Like you would do if you'd flash it normally).
6. Open a terminal, Unzip the Ubuntu FS.
7. Run the following command; sudo tar --numeric-owner -axf blabla.tar.gz
8. Run the following command; sudo mv binary /INSERT-PATH-TO-SDCARD-EXT4-PARTITION/ubuntu/
9. Safely eject the SD-card and insert it into your phone.
10. Boot into recovery.
11. Flash the shooteru image
12. Boot up
13. Change the values in /usr/bin/ubuntu-session (Look for export GRID_UNIT_PX = 18 and change it to 12)
14. Reboot
15. Win.
Download
Shooteru image 0.1 (Dev-Alpha)

I won't be able to update this as much as I would like to for just now due to some important family matters. I am however talking with some Ubuntu Touch developers to help solve some issues

Having 2 partitions on the SD card shouldn't matter with 0.2.

I figured that there was plenty of people on this board that could figure out how to use Linux.

I think if u don't have anything valuable to help Ubuntu, then we should keep quiet
I don't, so I wouldn't criticise anything
For those who do, please help and assist in any way
Testing, drivers, kernel, etc
I believe Ubuntu meant well when he is asking for any form of help from the community to help develop this
Whether he has passion for himself or the project or not , that's not appropriate to condemn or expect
Let's work together when we can, where we can

Working recovery with UI glitches

Hi,
I just realised that I'm going to post this, hopefully to get some help getting the frame buffer issue working. I'm not giving up on it, but it just doesnt seem fair to sit on this any longer since it works, besides the GUI glitches.
As i said before, the S7 kernel does not support framebuffering, which makes the GUI in the recovery a bitt messy. When you move up / down in the menu, it switches between selecting an item on top and an item on the bottom (you'll see 4 menus in total, but the ones on each horizontal line is a mirror).
This means that it starts by using the lower one, and it uses the top one next, then it goes back to the lower one. Boot it up and you'll probably see what I mean. This shouldnt cause any problems with the recoverys operation anyhow.
If you want to enter adb in linux you will have to get a copy of usb_modeswitch and run the following line in order to get adb to recognize the device:
sudo usb_modeswitch -W -v 12d1 -p 1031 -V 12d1 -P 1035 -M "5553424370ab71890600000080010a1106000000000000000 0000000000000" -s 20
This will switch the huawei s7 usb device into adb mode.
Also i take no responsibilites of bricks or other problems caused by using this recovery. Its truly for learning usage only.
My credit list would be to long if I where to include all forums that I've visited to get more information about this device, but if you feel like you deserve credit, let me know and i'll add you, otherwise, thanks to all people posting information about android devices, i could never have done it without you.
Ofcourse i have to thank the creators of clockwork mod, and also the people who wrote the repack-image.pl and unpack-image.pl scripts
Thanks to my wife who put up with me sitting and messing around with this for almost a week, giving her not the attention that she deserved, and thanks to all users of the S7 tablet out there.
h***://rapidshare.com/files/438781673/recovery.img.zip (not allowed to post links yet)
The shortcut key for entering recovery is menu + send, if anyone wonders.
Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
Works great. Ill research a bit to see if i can help

You're right, I noticed now that I the wrong ramdisk in the image that was released. I have several of them for which I use to debug the framebuffer stuff, and I forgot to use my own build.
I'll upload the correct one sometime this weekend.
Sorry.

The ui glitches even more now that the misc partition handled and the nandroid script is running. I guess i need to get this fixed before i release it, or it will just be a mess.

Install Fedora on the ATP

Get the rootfs image:
Fedora 15: http://fedora.roving-it.com/rootfs-f15-hfp-alpha1.tar.bz2
Fedora 17: http://fedora.roving-it.com/rootfs-f17-hfp-alpha1.tar.bz2
unpack it to /data/local/fedora
unzip and copy the attached script to /data/local/bin/fedora and run it
If you create /mnt/sdcard inside the fedora root, your sdcard will be bind mounted there.
Wait what is fedora?

This should help.
It's a Linux distribution.. like Ubuntu..
Does this mean we can then VNC into it after turning the server on?
How much has been tested on it?
Sounds cool. Read up ln it a little as I wondered at first what it was also. THEY say it's good but the main drawback is the short lifespan and support of each version. AS they pump out new versions like every 6 months or so n support for it is one of the shortest. SO it makes it hard for developers to use since its not long term.
Plus I never knew there was like a million flavors of Linux..lol. not even funny how many different flavors there was while reading up on Fedora.
Wait, can we actually use fedora on the prime this way through a script? How is functionality? We can simply shut it down again or something...?
More details would be nice Might give it a try later if I know/understand more about it hehe.

Does it require root? What fedora is included, can we just yum update stuff?
I am actually unable to get this to work at all. Nevermind loading the files on the prime was nothing but an issue. IS there a proper method for loading fedora. im getting:
chroot: can't execute 'bin/bash': Permission denied
failed: invalid argument
failed: invalid argument

What steps did you do to get it to work. Following the OP gave me the errors i posted on the first page.
And i don't fully understand Linux, still learning it!
sorry if this is a noobish question- but after loading I setup I 'yum install x11vnc', but can't seem to get it to run at all; what method are people using to get a desktop with this?
Thanks
help plz
Im trying to install fedoa on a rooted tf201. Downloaded tar.gz2, attempted to extract to 'data/local/fedora' but i could not extract it. Anyone have any luck with fedora on the prime?
Fedora 17 alpha image: http://fedora.roving-it.com/rootfs-f17-hfp-alpha1.tar.bz2
This is interesting, I nee to RMA mine for a few issues and hold off on unlock/root until I get a satisfactory prime but I'm excited.
One this though I too heard about the short lifespans, is this a bad thing? I only ask because projectors in theaters run fedora so I would assume they must be ultra stable with the shortened lifespan of each release, unless they update after every release. Just interesting to me.
I have a functinal rooted tf201 with root, busybox, xorg (as far as I know) through Linux Installer, VNC Viewer, Terminal Emulator and OTA Rootkeeper. I have a fair amount of root & bash experience, so I'd be delighted to help the OP with writing a walkthrough of the VNC server-client process in the specific case of Yum based distros and Fedora's rootfs structure.

One this though I too heard about the short lifespans said:
I view it as a bonus. You will find that at any time there are at least 2 versions being supported and although I use Ubuntu/Debian I would think that that Fedora enables users to upgrade from the previous to current version with a mouse click or two and 200Mb of downloads - just as easy as Windows but with more control (and bugs get fixed in hours!).

Ubuntu Touch (Latest)

Hello everyone,
I've managed to make a build that boots with the latest versions of ubuntu touch and I wanted to share it with you because I've also been following this thread eager to install ubuntu touch on my phone, although the method to install still might be complicated for some at the moment.
So first off you need to be using Linux, as I don't think project rootstock works on Windows
To install it you must follow the instructions I found here which are, in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-fsutils qemu-user-static bzr
android-tools-adb
bzr branch lproject-rootstock-ng
cd project-rootstock-ng
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then to get the rootfs with the mir fixes
./rootstock-touch -p pps:rsalveti/ppa
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which takes a little while or you can download the tar.gz from here
but once the screen turns off it takes a while or a reboot to get it back on
Once that part is finished download all the files at the end of the post and put them in the project-roostock-ng directory to make things easier
then in the same terminal with your device connected to bootloader:
sudo fastboot flash boot ./boot.img
sudo fastboot flash recovery ./recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot your device to recovery and do a full wipe, once that's done, with your device still connected to usb, in the same terminal type:
./rootsotck-touch-installer ./out-XXXXXXXX/ubuntu-touch.rootfs-armhf.tar.gz ./system.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
your device should reboot on its own, once you get to the black screen type:
adb shell
mount /dev/loop0 -o remount,rw
exit
adb push 70-m7ul.rules /usr/lib/lxc-android-config
adb push m7ul.conf /etc/ubuntu-touch-session.d
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and your device should load the ubuntu lockscreen
Here are the files for m7ul:
system.img
boot.img
recovery.img
70-m7ul.rules
m7ul.conf
for m7spr (not tested):
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
and download the 70-m7ul.rules and m7ul.conf but replace m7ul with m7spr
What works:
UI
camera
auto-rotation
Wifi (tested only on at&t version)
Audio (I've managed to get audio to work if the headphones are plugged in but not all the way, you really gotta find the sweet spot so it's not really useable yet but it's still progress.)
What doesn't work:
GSM
etc
it should run more smooth and the phone should get less hot
Backup file - http://www.mediafire.com/download/2xnfez828442k3l/2014-06-17--17-26-37.zip
I also found a way to have the same kind of dual boot setup canonical made for the nexus 4 by flashing the boot.img (the newer one can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/download/i9kmmwvc3gmb0kb/boot.img) on the recovery partition and keeping the internal rom's boot on the boot partition, so in theory if you flash a rom without wiping after flashing the backup and you flash the boot.img I provided on the recovery partition it should also work and then to get ubuntu you reboot in recovery and to get android you just boot normally, the problem is you lose your recovery temporarily and you have to reflash it if you want to use it until canonical finds a different way or I manage to get it to work with multirom.

backup should be something like this.
/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT34CW900897/2014-06-12--03-27-15.
what I mean by this is that the backup folder should be in sub folder of backups not in backups itself. I already had a backup of my android rom and now I pasted your backup folder in HT34CW900897 folder not in BACKUPS

you need to install the debootstrap utility , I guess a sudo apt-get install debootstrap will do it

[How-To] Install Windows on Android version [YB1-X90L/F]

Hello guys!
I'm starting this thread as I managed to install win10 on my X90L (Android) YogaBook
It was not easy to find a way to fix the ACPI error but it is possible!
Will update this post in a few hours with a guide on how to do it yourself.
UPDATE: link to the guide -> poz1.com/windows-on-android-lenovo-yogabook/
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU CONTINUE YOU WILL END UP WITH A YOGABOOK WITHOUT INPUT DEVICES!!!
(EXTERNAL KEYBOARD WILL BE NEEDED) AND NO ANDROID INSTALL!!!​
So far i got almost everything working except:
- Touchscreen
- Keyboard
- Webcam in the keyboard panel (the other one works fine)
- NFC
- Backlight Control (added 25/5/2018)
I'm getting very near to have the touch and the keyboard working though
P.s. In attach you find the outputs from 3DMark - IceStorm Extreme (default settings), would be much appreciated if someone with the real Win version shared its score
Any chance of posting you work to date. Got an X90F just crying out for Windows.

I have added the link to the guide! If yo have any issues let me know but keep in mind that currently no input devices (touchscreen or keyboard) work!
Thanks for posting this. I am really so impressed. Will be trashing my X90F tomorrow. Just got to dig out a powered USB hub. Ill report back, and lets see what happens.
(Hopefully not a brick)
OK,
So far so good. I get to the amending of the of aml. But keep getting.
Intel ACPI Component Architecture
ASL+ Optimizing Compiler/Disassembler version 20180508
Copyright (c) 2000 - 2018 Intel Corporation
iASL: Segmentation Fault
iASL: Terminating
To clarify the process. Decompile the DSTDroid.aml, then insert the OperationRegion (GNVS, SystemMemory, 0x7B3CF000, 0x0369)
Field (GNVS, AnyAcc, Lock, Preserve)
{ etc.. } section from the DSTDroid.dsl and use it to replace the equivalent section in the DSTWin.dsl in your files.
Then compile the DSTWin.dsl with the
iasli -ta DSDTWin.dsl
command.
This is how I am reading it, but have not managed to get it to work yet.
It decompiles with the two errors you mention, but wont recompile no matter how I try it.
I am using Notepadd++ so its not hidden characters.
Any thoughts, and thanks again for your efforts on this.

Hello Broomfundel,
I never got that error, but it seems to be a problem of the ASL Compiler build not of your file.
I am using Mac so I have another build, if you want to post the file I can compile it for you .
Otherwise you can try an older release or to build the tool from source maybe?

Hi, i have the Lenovo Yoga Book Windows version, im crying to install Stock Android on it, can you PLZ write a guide about doing it, or at least if there is a way to install the kernelflinger.efi or the fastboot mode on YB windows it will be great.
to fix the whole bugs you faced, try to reinstall windows 10 using this methode https://forum.xda-developers.com/yoga-book/how-to/windows-guide-creating-windows-10-t3718823
Thanks

Hi,
KernelFlinger is opensource and come with an installer, it should be pretty simple to install it.
Right now I don't have my YogaBook as I am travelling but I can try in the next few days
OK, Older release worked, but I get a .hex file, your instructions talk about a new aml file. Do I use the .hex file or is there another option other than the -ta one that would create the aml.
BTW. I am enjoying this. So thanks again.

With the -ta option I get both the .hex and the .aml file but you can try -tc if it doesn't work. Maybe due to the different build
P.s. (for other people that may incur in this) If you don't get the output files check that you have as last line of the terminal
"Compilation complete. 0 Errors"
OK, I am getting 7 errors. My current theory is that the DSTDWin.dsl will only compile with the same version number of the compiler it was decompiled with. I have attached my DSDTDroid.dsl so you can have a go. At least it will prove I got things right up to that point. Might be worth posting the original DSTDWin.aml for me to try this end.
If we are lucky it might turn out that the patched DSTDWin.aml files are consistent across the same model devices.
So... It seems both pen mode and keyboard mode of holo keyboard won't work... Am I right?
It's sad that if they won't work even we install the drivers from the lenovo website

Have you tried with the ISO from this forum with the Windows injected drivers? Here https://forum.xda-developers.com/yoga-book/how-to/windows-guide-creating-windows-10-t3718823
As Poz1 is obviously busy at the moment. Can anyone else get the DSTDWin.aml file for me to try and decode?
Thanks
Sorry guys I've been busy with university

There you go I'm also updating the files DSTDWin of my blog with one with some fixes Well they depend on the settings you use in your Bios (that's why Windows may not boot after install, it changes some parameters (the wait time of the bios and the default boot partition)). When you use the builtin one is the bios that "updates" it for you but for now we need to do it by hand If we are going to end with everything working we can release a patched "Win" bios and everything will be simpler

I know There something in the DSDT (the file that tells the os which and where your pc components are) that has to be fixed to make Windows see these parts correctly

Thanks for all your doing on this. You have already got further than anyone else who tried.
let me know if you have more problems
I have added a 3DMark test in the first post for those that are interested in how it performs

Just another Question, you as a Advance user, do you believe that we (yoga book Windows owners) can boot Android yb STOCK ROM ( i mean not the Android x86 based distros)?
Yes, but I think you would have to do the "reverse" DSDT injection (from win to android) as the official ROM has drivers for that components.
This means that, if you're lucky you would end up with our same problems (keyboard, pen and touch). If we don't fix that before
The problem with Android is that it is meant to be flashed on rom instead of being installed and this makes things more difficult.
It should be possible to flash the rom on an USB key, add grub and use it for DSDT injection like we do and see what happens.
Another problem is that the provided kernelflinger seems to have most of the security options enabled so 99% it will refuse to boot anyway.
Since it is opensource it should be possible to fix this anyway.
So yes, but it a loooong journey
