Android Hacking 101

Here are a few steps that I did to hack my Tronsmart TS7 Android phone:

1.. Root phone http://gleescape.com/posts/2376
        a) Install MT6589 USB driver on PC
        b) On Adndroid configure: Setting -> Developer Options -> USB Debugging
        c) Download  http://www.hexamob.com/downloads/motochopper.zip root tool,  run.bat

2. Install Linux on Android. Can install complete Linux distro:
      https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid

      I installed Ubuntu 12, can ssh into server over wifi or use tightvnc to get full GUI.

3. Install sshDroid. Can ssh into Android
       https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
    

4. Use ABD to connect to Android device using USB cable

        adb shell, and you'll see Linux prompt

5. Boot/shutdown logo hack.Update files in /system/media.
