[Q] USB Port / PS3 Jailbreak APK

Hey there,
since I have no clue about Android development, is it possible to access the USB on a rooted phone and simulate a USB Hub? Reason for this is a possible port to android phones of the open source jailbreak PSGroove found here:
github.com/psgroove/psgroove

well it is, but it's a small mixup especially if you have no clue about android.
instructions can be found here (tested and working on N1)

Thanks for that, that already helps a lot!

well i was going write a topic about it .... the Teensy++ USB Development Board and AT90USBKEY are sold out we will have to wait 2 weeks.
android seems to have the required hardware
the Teensy++ usb is sold for $24
so a psjailbreak app in the market for a $10 is great deal
any developer interested ?
edit:
further info on the exploit
ps3wiki.lan.st/index.php?title=PSJailbreak_Exploit_Reverse_Engineering
cheers

can someone try it?PLSS

This would be awesome! I'll donate.

hope there is a possibility, because all are sold out usbkey

Here the github code of the open source version
github.com/psgroove/psgroove

WOw THIS WOULD BE AMAZING IF WE COULD get this fully working just flash into kernals etc.. soo from then on all you'd have to do is plug in your usb and have access to keyboards. mouse. flash disks. etc..

Would be great if we could have an apk that does it..
I would surely buy it.. maybe someone with some good knowledge of porting apps wants to get some money from it...

found this in a comment on maxconsole.
Stage 2 done. Thinking If I should use PSGroove or OpenPSJailbreak as a base. for stage 3 about 7 hours ago via TweetDeck
Lol I just got my Android to mimic the 6 port hub. Stage 1 Complete

Sounds good I knew someone was doing it I'm currently using a Blackcat JTAG, if there sold out of the Teensy grab one of them and use Flip to load the binary. I'll most likely use a device dedicated to this but I'm sure tons of people will enjoy this. It will be cool to be able to run the exploit on the go, to show friends or something.

netzke seems legit time will tell he said beta by the end of the week. Im just glad I keep my Palm Pre around after I upgraded to the Evo I just used the Pre to jailbreak my ps3 crazy stuff

Just curious, the scrubby nub I am wonders what form this 'jailbreak' will take for android, an installable apk that just requires (or not - no way) root, some full fledged ROM?
I'm a bit scared too after reading netzke's blog seeing how he mentioned 1 or 2 phones blew up cause they got shorted or something but I can't help but look forward to it.

Netzke is a scammer. Everything on his blog is pure bull****.
The guys over the Desire forums already ported psfreedom to it. Go check if its compatible with your device.

Get Ready for the newbish questions.
I'll start:
What are the requirements for those instructions to work? I understood initially that you would need a particular ROM. From reading the post on the Desire forums it appears as if you need to unlock your bootloader (true/false) So what ROM are you using?
Lastly <3 tyvm for the instructions

Ubuntu on Gtablet

I am attempting to try this on the Gtablet, im having issues and was hoping more people could mess around with it.

Isn't this more of a VM-type setup? I wonder if things like your /sdcard are even accessible this way, and audio, etc.
Still.....downloading it, anyway. 1 hour to go. :O

It's using vnc slit will be slow.

I just hope it support portable harddisk for me transferring the files from CF card reader to harddisk

Ubuntu on the gtab will be possible once we have the kernel source as the binary kernel we currently have is, ah, not set up very well to run Ubuntu. Anyway, I've already messed with a similar type of Ubuntu root on my Evo. Its not hard....

Full Featured Developer Script for ROMs - Need ideas for a name

I am currently work on a program/script to manage ROMs, and I will be releasing it initially for the Kindle Fire for beta testing. This will be a full featured program with the following :
- Compile ROMs from source
- Extract & zip ROMs
- Decompile/Compile APK and JAR files in the ROM (selective or the whole ROM at once)
- Unpack / repack kernel
- ROMs and devices each will have their own config file to store information specific to each, such as comments and status
- Much more planned, such as the ability to browse and edit files, search and compare, etc
The big advantage to this, and what prompted me to write this in the first place, is the ability to have all of the necessary tools in one place and better keep track of your ROM projects. As I was working on modifying or porting ROMs, a big headache was having to go to so many places to do different things to a ROM, which leaves files scattered all over your hard drive.
This will help keep everything more organized and the goal is to cut out manually having to do so much when it comes to basic tasks, and eventually even the more advanced tasks involved.
The initial release will be for Linux, but a Windows version will follow (minus the Linux specific features such as compile from source).
I have made some great progress on this already, and am close to a beta release.
So, what I need help on is a name for this. Here is what I have so far as choices, I welcome suggestions. Those that reply with suggestions for a name will be the first to receive beta versions to try out
- DEVROID
- [ARM] Android Rom Master
That is all I have so far, so please throw some good options my way.

This was originally just for the KF but most of this stuff is generic enough to work on other devices, so I will be adding functionality for multiple devices. So the name shouldn't be specific to the KF. I'm just offering it for the KF first.
When it was going to be KF specific I had "Kindle Inferno" in mind....
Now that would be a good name for a ROM !

I think it's very difficult because they have different hardware, different providers (one from HTC, one from Amazon), we only can port Rom when we have full source code and similar driver and kernel to make sure it can work.
P/s: the kitchen you used don't support kindle so you can't make Rom used it. Need edit updater-script manually.

Hmm... quit a big file there. You don't think that the kernel messed up while building it(its happened to me before. I think it got up to 700mb.)
Edit: just realized that its a .exe file, dope!
Maybe you should try putting one of our many kernels into it and seeing how that goes. It relys heavily on our kernel.

What kitchen can i use for Ubuntu that supports Kindle Fire? Or do i need to mount it and then copy everything into a folder with the name system and replace the /etc/firmware and /etc/init.d folders and the /usr/keylayout and /usr/keychars and change the libs then make a zip of it and then compile te boot img from Flyer replace Kernel and change the name in the ramdisk folder to xxx.omap4430.xxx of the files that now are called xxx.herring.xxx. then make a pdate script and does TWRP needs a special coe or just edify ?

Oversized phone ? without the phone function ?

For starters I think you need to size down the ROM. The KF has 537MB /system and I can only assume that if the compressed ROM is ~500MB, then uncompressed it is going to be much, much higher.
You may be able to change the partition sizes to accommodate the larger size ROM. I was playing with a Sense port yesterday, based on the HTC Flyer, and ran into this problem. I may try to repartition it and see how it goes just for kicks.

I'm pretty sure a 7-10" Android device with no 3g, no SMS, data, no incoming/outgoing calls, is considered a tablet, not an oversized phone

I decided to see why the port I was working on is causing TWRP to just loop and to do this I checked what DMESG had to say. It appears to be an Out of memory issue. My guess would be it is being caused when it attempts to load the update file.

ok, i commend the effort here but this just simply isnt going to work without TONS of code modifications and reverse engineering. just copying files isnt going to do it. there is a reason why you dont see htc sense ported non-htc phones often. its simply not worth the amount of work that has to be put in. not to mention you'll need an experienced kernel developer who knows his ****. i would suggest not wasting your time on this.

Rooting and Installing CM10.2 Jelly Bean 4.3 on Kindle Fire HD 7.

Hello all!
Thanks to this great forum and other sources, (but mostly this forum) I was able to turn my Kindle Fire into a Google tablet with a lot more functionality than the stock Amazon Kindle. Thus, I've decided to show my appreciation by making a contribution of my own in the hopes that it will be very helpful to others attempting the same thing, since I had to search multiple sources to find solutions to the various problems I ran into. Now hopefully with what I've managed to compile, people won't have to do what I did and the process will be made much quicker and smoother! Since I'm new I can't put urls in my post, so I've made a nice .pdf to download with the links to all necessary downloads.
Enjoy, and a huge thank you to xda-developers!
EDIT: The .pdf route just wasn't work out, I guess, so I put the original Word file.

I think you should research more before putting this up for everyone. There is no unroot after rooted on KFHD. Some things can be accessed via Amazon apps other such as Amazon Prime movies cannot. If someone wants that, they should go with Kinology ROM. Root many Android has there downloads on XDA as well.

Just sharing what worked for me, because doing this on the Kindle is quite complicated and difficult, and people often run into issues. So if something doesn't work, we resort to searching the web for other methods. Therefore the more methods that are available the better chances someone has of getting it to work.
And sorry, but I would appreciate it if you didn't accuse me of not doing enough research. There were multiple sources that said unroot does work for the HD. I guess I'll have to try it myself, though.

Your instructions are choppy and missing steps. If I were a n00b, I would be confused. You can un-root a Kindle Fire HD and go stock again by restoring the system. But the statement you made at the end of your tutorial makes no sense. A rooted Kindle Fire HD does not lose any of the Amazon features. You cannot swap back and forth unless you flash an Amazon OS nandroid backup or use Kinology. That's how you regain the features of the Amazon OS after installing a 2nd bootloader and a custom ROM.
You know what I would appreciate? Don't offer something in a tutorial that can't be done and you have not even tried yourself because when people try it, they can do some damage to an expensive tablet.
