[SOLVED] Problem with linux.img for Note 10 (n8000) while booting in recovery modus

[tahamohammad]

I've Just edited this post because I found the answer, I feel sow stupid...

Solution:

Turns out I was renaming my downloaded file "kali-linux-1.0.4-armhf-n8000.img.xz" directly to "linux.img". I had to extract it first....
My bad, image works perfectly.

Problem:
I've followed all the steps as said in the guide.

When I'm booting in recovery modus, I receive the following messages:
mount: mount point /new_root/mnt/sdcard does not exist
fsck.ext2. Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/loop0

ERROR: fsck failed on 'dev/loop0'
ERROR: Failed to mount the real boot device

When I run e2fsck -y /storage/sdcard0/linux.img
I get: Superblock invalid, trying backup blocks...
Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /storage/sdcard0/linux.img
efsck -b 8193 <device>


Anybody has a clue?

Thanks in advance

What rom are you on? Stock shouldnt give you any problems.

And make sure when u boot in recovery mode that you press power+volume up or was it down? but press the button combos and not an app to automaticaly boot you to download or you will.break your installation

Sorry for the late reply!

It is a Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Wi-Fi GT-N8010.
I have used the current Kali Rom from this site.
Do you mean the Android or Kali version?

Im guessing you're on stock so yeah. Did you download the recovery image too and place it on root of sdcard?

[nobi]

Yes, i download and place the recovery image on the same place as linux.img.
Can you give me another download source for the recovery.img?
thx nobi
