Hi. I had the same problem. Try turning on the ssh service using "sudo
service ssh start" (if it's not running already), then ssh into your phone
from the terminal itself "ssh localhost". Dont forget to add your own ssh
key to authorized_keys. Then try the chroot command again. For some reason,
the chroot command works from within an ssh session but not from the
terminal itself when the chroot is located in the home directory. At least
on my BQ that's the case. I have no idea why. Do any of the developers
know? Somehow, exec permissions seem to be missing on the mount. I can't
even execute a script in my home directory when I'm not in an ssh session
although I set exec permission on the file via chmod.
Hope this helps,
Torsten

Thanks, this looks promising.
However, the chroot command only yields:
chroot: failed to run command ‘/bin/bash’: No such file or directory

If you want to use CLI tools installed via debs, you need to do it this

Making the phone writable and installing debs to the root partition will
end up with those installs likely being destroyed at some point when the
system image is updated, and/or the phone becoming broken if you try to
use apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade to upgrade the phone. It isn't built
around using apt, so using apt is not supported.
Using a chroot will allow you to install and use CLI utilities as you
need them, and keep such a system in a container away from the main
system (unless you bind mount things, but even then only limited
exposure exists).
