Root Prevail as a desktop?

[DaisFlaque]

I wanted to know since our prevail is so awesome, I wanted to know if we can run our lil Linux phones as a desktop? like I need to root my girl friends phone and don't have a laptop right now to do so... can I install the drivers in some sub-folder and apply the patch right through my prevail...?

 

[DaisFlaque]

Or can we hook this type of stuff up on our lil comp.?

dont think it is possible. how would you connect your girl friends phone to your phone?

Wifi tethering? Maybe you could put the OS from a netbook on SD card. Probably be the only thing small enough. Probably need some kind of virtual drive. Similar setup to setting your PC up

No no I think you were on to something with SD cards, I think that if our phones can read the (Ram) on an SD, can we convert that script to read from a USB to USB (micro) Rom?

You could VNC or remote desktop into your pc from your phone.

Yeah but I want a pocket pc . Where I can even manage my own internal drives

That is a link to the Odin thread, where there is a working link for the EJ06 Odin image. You just have to scroll down and look for iNsTiGaToRs post.

Hey skate. So did you fix fa19 updates?

 

[DaisFlaque]

This one I will not down... I need to root a phone w/o a comp.... I should just be able to install the drivers, somewhere... Mabey we can create a file that mimics a comp.? something has to be workable, I know we can get rid of our desktops.
Ps anyone else know something you can do on desktop and not on Prevail??

 

[DaisFlaque]

what about a file that tricks the phone into thinking that these files are runnable, can anyone see if Odin will read a com port? can we make the drivers work?

Rarewolf: yupp

you'd have to build a custom cable... then you'd have to get the usb port to run in host mode, that would probably take a driver...
then you'd need whatever odds and ends that are missing from Linux that you would need on the phone

Okay lets get started... Writing drivers 101??

 

[DaisFlaque]

not easy... but it seems that I can use a lot of pre-fab'd drivers, I am going to have to mod the driver tho :X

step 1) start with CM9. USB host mode is not supported below Android Honeycomb
Step 2) http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/usb/host.html

Could you put a windows virtual machine on the SD card?

 

[jwh42000]
