Hello everyone. I recently bought a new hp chromebook 11- v020wm for the sole purpose of running tails on it. After getting tails onto my usb I have been unable to find an answer on how to boot from usb. Theres loads of info out there on how to do this for every other make of chromebook besides HPs version and rather than risk bricking my new chromebook with the wrong commands I thought I would ask for some experienced help. Thanks, sorry I'm a noob lol.
I am looking to do the same thing on a 14" hp. Just started looking and figured i check here.
Don't try the HP site. Anything other than the issued software is a no no, including discussions on developer mode. A post will get locked quickly with a snippy remark from one of the monitors. BTW, did you find the solution?

Does anyone know if the newest Android SDK_r12 release supports the G-Tab without having to doctor up the usb inf file?
If not, should I still use the old instructions that are from January?
I just ordered the G-Tab and I'm trying to gather as much info about rooting, rom-ing, modding, etc that I can so I can jump right in when it arrives. I've had android smartphones (HTC EVO 3D currently) and they've always been easy to recognize with ADB. I've seen some posts that ADB is not native on the G-Tab so I'm making sure I'll be able to get it working.
Thanks for any help!

Crap... sorry mods. I thought I was under the Q&A... that's what I get for viewing in multiple tabs.
Also, in case it matters for the advice - I'm running a Windows Vista machine.
Bought the HP printer that came with the Zeen because it seemed like a good idea.
its a not so bad setup that would be much better with a more capable tablet. the Zeen is a flaming turd.
I'd like to port the specific apps first to my old Nook Color making it a dedicated device.
I'm not a total n00b to Linux, command line, and hacking some Android but this is much more .
ideas and help on accomplishing this is appreciated.
did you find anything about the zeen i want to flash a new rom but i dont see nothing about it anywhere

Nope nothing, The tablet itself isn't worth much at all.
You can root the thing. Had one of them a while back, was OK, HERE is where i left it at that time. The kids loved it, it was sturdy. Google is your friend

Hi there everyone,
I need some serious help with porting any FOSS Operating system viz debian to playbook. I tried to post franticly in crackberry forum, initial posts were cool. later when i started to throw too much info in hope of reply i got few replies or responses.
wish someone from here can help me. Because i am dead serious about porting debian to this device. its lovely.
thanks to RIM for screwing it up completely. i got fed up and decided to do the dirty job because to whoever i ask about a custom rom i got a depressing answer.
i am already ready to port. who else is helping me. or planning to help me.
please let me know. thanks.

p.s. i am a few steps away from getting the x-loader.bin signed, i got it signed with omap3, but i would like to sign it with omap4 and i am working on it. and secondly i got the source for the bsp from sonic foundary and i was successful in building it. but i need more help from users with more valueable output than "show me a different rom" or "thats too tragic, no one has been successful as of now." very few expressed their support. most of them seem to be waiting anxiously for BB10. sad. sigh! a few supporters are there and 2-3 folks gave extremely valueable information.
i hope to find some folks here who is willing to share the workload. and i shall try to co-operate my level best. thanks again for reading this post and wasting 10 mins of your life's time.
p.s. 2 i am planning to port coreboot the arm arch and debian, but this doesnt mean i will not try to help in the android process.
2 most valueable feedbacks which i got are,
nickstarmaster -> "For a OS that is specifically designed for a single kind of hardware, it got TOO MUCH exceptions/errors."
&
synerworks -> "Even if all the boot source code was released and built verbatim, without the correct signature it would not be seen as valid at launch. Without a JTAG, pushing your own firmware onto the device will not happen with the existing locked bootrom. Maybe if the bootrom had some unhandled exception that was exploited, an image can be generated to overwrite it but none exists to date. The only downside to attempting to clobber a soft-bricked Playbook is that it can potentially be rendered a doorstop if development tools can no longer manage further firmware updates. At least a bricked Playbook will be recoverable when a BB10 image is released by Blackberry whenever they get around to it. "
thats all the help i got with respect to porting. can anyone help me with the rest? team work? there i felt alone.

Hello,
I am not sure if this is even possible, but, I want to ask the question anyways: Is there a way to completely erase android from a device and install Raspian on it instead?
Here is the basis for the question. I have 2 old android devices, one is so crappy that it usually freezes just after turning it on, and has since I purchased it. Right now it is just a paper weight taking up space. I have been trying to figure out if this is even possible before just saying to heck with it and just tossing it. Could someone please let me know if this is even possible.
Thank you in advance.
How is this relevant to the title? The title says "android into a raspberry pi", which means, android (the mobile os) on the raspberry pi, which is possible.
What you're asking is if you can erase android and install raspian on it instead, far away from the title.
My answer: You can, if you are a software engineer for your device, because you'll need a different bootloader that is capable of booting anything else than android, and you'll actually have to compile it for your device (if there is no device tree or sources for your device, guess what you have to do). So just stick to installing something like slim rom instead.
Thank you for the reply, however, the title states clearly "Android INTO a raspberry pi" so the question is relevant to the title as it's asking if an android box could be turned INTO a raspberry pi essentially. Furthermore, if this is the way you answer all posts you reply to it's a wonder how you became a senior member with the attitude your reply conveyed. I'm not an android programmer yet, but I'm trying to learn, figured I would start with Linux fist, so I'm not an idiot, just not as well versed in hacking android.

Android is an operating system btw. I'm glad you're starting to learn Linux etc
You become a senior member after being a junior member for a while, so just wait a months or so and you'll become one as well
First of all I would like to say i have done a lot of reading both here and on Lenovo forums where unfortunately files and threads disappear I have done this reading long time ago and back then it wasn't possible to install Windows on the Android version of the tablet, however now after two years it seems it could be possible I see some threads about installing Windows on Yoga Books so maybe the situation around tablets evolved an its already possible.
I'm able to take some risks as the tablet is completely used at the moment and it will stay that way until it runs Windows, which i need to utilize the tablet car diagnostics which only run under windows. It would be really cool to make this work as I dont want to lave one tablet utilized and buying a new one cheap one for 100$.
Thx for your inputs !

Hey there. Have found any way to do it? If so, it will be very kind of you if you send the links and instructions. I've done some research myself. Yet no results.
