    Hex dump when rebooting into recovery mode after running the second dd command

    For about two weeks I have been trying to install and run a full Kali Linux image on my Galaxy Note 10.1 but have been running into issue after issue. I have searched all over the xda forums as well as other forum sites and have come up with absolutely no solution to my issue. Originally, the problem was when I tried to type in the second dd command into terminal emulator I keep getting this error message:
    Code:
    recovery.img: cannot open for read: No such file or directory
    I fixed this by following the guidelines on this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1273032. What I did was I moved the linux.img and recovery.img file from the root folder (/storage/sdcard0) to the /data folder. Afterwards, I ran the two dd command lines of code with the updated directory for the recovery image:
    Code:
    dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=recovery.img_orig
    dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
    Then I rebooted my tablet into recovery mode and this came up:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/66oggeg1eu...901_150746.jpg

    It specifically says this at the 3rd to last line of code: "Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck."

    This has been driving me crazy and any help with finally getting this image mounted would be greatly appreciated.

    Fixed! Not 100% sure how, but I installed the linux deploy version wich on recovery boot loaded to the point of asking for an adress. So I copied the g note version back, and it ran. Coild have also been that I made root writable. Hope this helps. Kali native on n8010.

    My issue is a simple fix, just 7zip the downloaded img from the kali downloads before renaming and copying to /storage/sdcard0. Also make sure that you cd into the /storage/sdcard0 folder before writing the recovery.img to the recovery partition
