How to install backtrack 5 on dell streak 5?

[Dakshayani]

I have brought Dell Steak 5 two weeks ago and I was always eager to install Linux on it. And recently I have heard that backtrack team has developed Backtrack 5 ARM Version for mobile phones. I'm sure it won't be hard to port this over to the Dell Streak 5. But before porting I want to know the pre-requisites and the steps required to install backtrack 5 in my Dell Streak 5.let me know various ways of rooting and installing backtrack on my dell streak 5.

First, you should root your Dell Streak 5. I've tried several methods to eradicate Dell Streak 5, but without success. These methods need Windows system. I was about to brick my line. Auspiciously, I re-formatted the recovery image and prevented my dell streak. The current StreakDroid is 2.0.0 and is based on stock ROM 2.3.3. If you perform your streak will not be devoid rooting and the contract will be voided. The current ROM will be Streak Droid 2.0.0. Setting up of Backtrack 5 will not damage his run, as using VNC to fill the Backtrack 5 image. The aircrack-ng does not work correctly in the interface is eth0 instead of wlan0. No method to monitor the injection and not too much.

Hey I have done this all stuff and I’m able to run backtrack on my dell streak but there are some issues which I like to tell you.
1) Make sure you run "killui" and "stopbt" when Backtrack 5 is not necessary.

(2) The aircrack-ng cannot be adequately spread like interface is eth0 instead of wlan0. There is no way to control and no injection.

(3) Stated that an application SecManiac.com namely "ASTRO File Manager" can be extracted Backtrack 5 ARM image format SD card in FAT32 without problems. However, no test for me.

(4) Download MultiRecoveryFlasher in the previous source. Then flash "StreakMod-recovery" if you cannot flash the StreakDroid. In Ubuntu, you need not install any driver, but needs to run in the root. Go to root using the following command:

sudo -sH
