Is it possible to install Ubuntu on a device with a broken screen using ADB?
-
Hello, I'm newbie, and I'm wondering about installing Ubuntu on a device with a broken screen. I have an old Samsung S7 Edge Exynos, with an unlocked bootloader and an auto-ADB ROM installed. On most Samsung phones, the stock operating system will boot-loop if there's no screen. I installed a custom ROM to bypass this. What about Ubuntu? Will this happen?
Thanks all!!!!!!!!!!! -
@trunghieu1710 No, you need a stock ROM installed to install UT for various technical reasons.

@trunghieu1710, out of curiousity,
why would you want to have any os installed without a functioning screen? -

Oh, thanks! I probably need to find a new screen.

@trunghieu1710, out of curiousity,
why would you want to have any os installed without a functioning screen?Where I live, they use a number of Samsung devices, including the Samsung S7. They use them in large quantities, around several hundred thousand, to run fake advertisements and obtain promotional codes.These phones have been modified to receive power directly and remove the screen, controlling everything entirely via ADB. I can buy them very cheaply and I want to take advantage of that.
